Thanks. MATCLAN told me and I checked... it didn't upload. With luck, maybe it will just take awhile.

Wait...I'm confused. Is beating the Mombasa streets transition levels a requirement to becoming a Mythic Conqueror?
No. You only need the 8 main missions to be put on the list.


Ok, thanks.

Three more levels to go! I'm really moving forward.

One and only run today, already so frustrated and I get by a Ghost that's flying in the air. Spinning around in the air, it hit one shot on me and killed me. Wouldn't happen if Buck would just stay in the Turret instead of jumping in the passenger seat for no reason.


Give Buck a -blam!- weapon. He'll stay on the turret.
Are you seriously telling me to give him something worse than an AR so he'll get in the Turret?


My bad, I thought you had given him sniper or fuel rod cannon or something.

I've already completed Kizingo Blvd, but I'm just wondering. Has anyone found out how to bring a tank past the first and/or second barricade?

If you would like to know more about Mythic difficulty please go to this thread. Thank you.

Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

Awesome job last night guys. The best part was that we could have kept going but let the game end on our terms instead.
Although I don't think I'll be playing much Firefight for a while... at least not Lost Platoon.

Oh yeah, while I remember I found a little something that may make haters of Coastal Highway laugh a little.
I found this on the back of the Olifant...

Coastal down! Here we are Going on from what Tyrant was saying, I thought it best if I went and did this one first and came back to the "easier" ones later.

My tactics were shamelessly stolen from existing conquerors. Got a good run very quickly and completed it. Now I have to go back and do the other levels.

Although, I did get one tactic for myself. In the section where the buggers burst out of the highway door, in that covered section, there is a crate chock full of SMG ammo. I brought Buck up to the med station, grabbed an SMG and started helping him out. Worked nicely.

So that makes: 9/15 sections 5/8 missions.

As always, film is in the fileshare.

People are completing it so fast now that I feel like a total noob, not to mention I won't be able to complete it for a long time now.

Good work RC, now when that mission is down, you're pretty much one step behind me and that's it.

Spelling fail is fail. :P

Nice work RC. Now completing Mythic should be a breezy.

A quicker method for the bugger part is to park Buck right next to the last sniper tower, get up on the center divider and fire a rocket as the doors opens (kills 4-7 drones), and just assassinate drones that land near Buck.

You could make a point about utilizing your invincible friendlies. Giving them your power weapons and long range weapons will help you out a lot. Them being invincible with bottomless clips makes the game much easier if you let them lead.

I've already completed Kizingo Blvd, but I'm just wondering. Has anyone found out how to bring a tank past the first and/or second barricade?

I only tried moving the Scorpion over the first barrier a few times before giving up. You could try strategically placing a Ghost or two to give yourself some leverage, but even if you got it over the first barrier, you wouldn't be able to get it past the second barrier. I took a Ghost up the stairs and tried to go around the second barrier (there's plenty of room), but there was an invisible anti-vehicle barrier that extended from the outsides of the second barrier to each wall. I could shoot enemies (with the Ghost) past the second barrier, but I couldn't drive past it. I don't know for sure, but I think it's safe to assume it would work the same for the Scorpion.

If you're just looking for a quick way to get past the last area and the skirmish on the way there (after the door opens), keep 3-5 Rockets and use all but one of them on the Grunts, Jackals and Brute that try to come out of the door as it opens. A few well-placed Rockets will cause them to retreat, giving you time to give your remaining Rocket to Dutch and follow the Covenant a certain distance forward to get Dutch to attack them with his infinite Rockets. Once he starts dishing out the pain, you can just hang back and pick off the Grunts, Jackals, and deshielded Brutes with the Automag (there's one lying outside the big door a few yards from the health pack).

On a similar topic that I've mentioned before, I've been able to consistently kamikaze my way to the area with the 2 Wraiths and 4 Ghosts (the area with the first and second barriers) in about 2 minutes or so (I'm just guessing) by running past all the Covenant in the first area, hijacking the Ghost as soon as the Phantom drops it, and boosting my way past everything else. However, I've still been unable to quickly destroy all the Wraiths and Ghosts to open the doors (you may not need to destroy them all; in one of my runs, there was still a Brute in a Ghost when the doors opened, but he may have taken mine after I abandoned it, so I'm not sure). They've just been too unpredictable. I could take my time and use all the Rocket ammo in the area to take the Ghosts out, but I really don't want to take my time. Has anyone else tried this since the last time I mentioned it?

Don't worry Gazas, we all have missions that we totally suck on. I remember getting right to the end of the Ark on about my 10th try, then not actually completing it for another 50 odd tries (tries that actually made it past the first two areas).

Probably. I did try that at one point (can't remember if I did in my actual run) but I'd no idea what the timing was so I just missed.

I don't suck on Coastal though, I mean, I do everything right, specially without Iron, but when I'm actually going for it, weird things happen.

Well, sucky luck I mean.

Oh btw, I kicked this Brute off his ghost so hard he went through the glass barrier. :)

Actually, the animation just caused him to skip straight through it and land on the ledge on the other side. but aw well. (this was a practice run) I find it weird the barrier is only see through from one side too

Good story. I was just asking because I didn't want to post a video of me getting the tank past the first barrier, no propping up ghosts or anything similar required:

Here it is. It makes the second fight after the doors open too easy.

I didn't get the tank past the second barrier, but I imagine it would just be a deathtrap during the standoff if successful.
