[..] I got the tank over no propping other stuff required, I told everyone about it.

I remember you saying stuff about it. But its pretty simple to do really. Just blast the barriers to peices and then wiggle straight over them in the tank.

And *phew* I'm not gonna be 11th. After being 31st in Halo 3 I didn't want to be 11th for ODST, and be left feeling like I missed out on a cooler placement. So I didn't even bother trying Mythic for a few days.

Really? I didn't know the barriers were destructible. Props to me for getting over the barrier WITHOUT blasting....I guess.

Never even bothered with the barriers, just walked pasted with them and made up with the enemy on foot.

I've beaten ODST and Halo 3 on Mythic.

I got to the end of Coastal Highway and the Chiefton obliterated the Engineer.

Very disapointing to say the least.

Any tips, for the part? Should I run at him and make him run and swing, and go for the assasination outside?

I would do that. A hammer chieftan (or anything at all) in the engineer room is less than optimal.

Very much so. Or any co-op Mythic.

And no one has done tri or quad Mythic for Halo 3 yet...

Oh, and congrats Archer on making the list.

I used the high roads to go behind him, while the other brutes were distracted by Dare and Buck, I took him on one on one.

I won.

Sweet. It's great to see more and more people giving Mythic a go without needing a reason to do so other than that they want to. :-)

Hello, Community!

Hopefully if you're reading this, it's because you're interesting in kicking your campaign experience up a notch by cranking up the Legendary with all skulls activated :-) Need advice? A guide? Maybe even a friendly community to cheer you on and help guide you through the process? Then give our Mythic thread a read, and Godspeed on your Mythic journey!

Best Regards,
The Tyrant

I must have missed something somewhere. Who was 11?

I thought it was RC Master, but on re-reading his post he was happy to not be 11th.
Are these guys actually 11 and 12 respectively then? :-S

EDIT: Nvm, it was Michael_Archer who got 11th because Dark got 10th.

One more thing, I'm trying over at Halocharts to get Mythic medals for ODST. Its in discussion right now, but I think it'll eventually happen. Maybe not right now, but eventually.

No Guarantees.

Alright guys, my internet is dead so I won't be able to play anything for 2 weeks or more. I won't even be able to surf on the PC. All I have is my school laptop that can be used in school. So we probably won't have any direct conversation for a long time.

I'll miss you.

I've decided that I'm going to retry Coastal Highway without the Iron skull in an atempt to find out exactly how much of a fluke the mission can be and to test somethings I've been thinking of recently. I may also run through Data Hive again on Legendary in an attempt to locate every weapon container in the gantries below the hive.

Ultimate RC for 14th?


Yep :)

Bringing the total up to 2 x 7 is a cool placement I think :P

Got some free time today (after 6 hours in a row of lectures/seminars!) so completed ONI Alpha Site and Streets Oni Alpha Site to NMPD HQ becon.

So thats 8/8 missions done, 14/15 segments. I'll go through the game from the start with saves and quits at some point to snag that section between Kikowani Station and Data Hive too. I'll see if I can improve my times for any of the levels / street sections at the same time.

The thing about ONI Alpha Site that annoys me, is that you can't take things in bits and peices. Its all the enemies at once, just rushing straight at you. And theres only a few narrow entrances to the areas where you have to wait. So if you get close, theres everyone in range, and if you go far, you sometimes have trouble hittng anything.

I did take Darks method of giving Mickey a Splaser instead of rockets (apologies to anyone who did this before, Darks film was just where I saw it), and dragging the rockets and another weapon in to arm up the marines with. Makes this a bit quicker and less "let mickey do all the work". I hate waiting for the AI to clear up the enemies. The arbiter in H3 was generally pretty good, but the ODSTs are sometimes abysmal. (Buck in a turret on Coastal Highway ring any bells for anyone? LMAO!)

Anyway, here is my collection of the 8 missions:

Tayari Plaza - FILM - 30:58 - 66,367
Uplift Reserve - FILM - 03:20 - 3,996
Kizingo BLVD. - FILM - 29:51 - 223,035
ONI Alpha Site - FILM - 23:04 - 186,775
NMPD HQ - FILM - 38:39 - 161,894
Kikowani Stn. - FILM - 22:02 - 162,454
Data Hive - FILM - 59:24 - 182,795
Coastal Highway - FILM - 49:40 - 233,927
And since I've been doing them, heres the stats and films of me getting from one flashback's becon to the next:
Prepare to Drop to Tayari Plaza - Film
Tayari Plaza to Uplift Reserve - Film
Uplift Reserve to Kizingo BLVD. - Film
Kizingo BLVD. to ONI Alpha Site - Film
ONI Alpha Site to NMPD HQ - Film
NMPD HQ to Kikowani Stn. - Film
Kikowani Stn. to Data hive #Not complete!#

______________

One final note, I do pretty much trust all the existing conquerors to not lie about it, but stats alone aren't actually good enough to verify whether someone has done a level on Mythic or not in ODST. Saving and quitting no longer removes scoring, plus when you resume, you'll have a fresh time bonus. ONI Alpha Site in 1:48 with only 5 kills. For example.

The only way I can think of to actually verify whether its actually been completed is to either
A: view the entire film
B: Have the submitter take pictures of the first cutscene and last cutscene (or the auto stats screeen) that are attached to the gamestats

If it means we block potential cheaters from claiming the title of Mythic Conqueror I'm happy to wade through my films and grab pics. I could even pin them into my gallery (since I never use that anyway) if the recent screenshots isn't a permanent enough home.

What does everyone else think?

Congratulaions. :-)
In response to your trust thing it should be enough to see the time taken and points gained against the time bonus. Unless it's Pahat pulling of something ridiculous I'd just disregard it. Heck, I'd ask to watch their films if I thought someone was making a false claim.
Otherwise my File Share has all my films which correlate witht he time stamps on my stats so anyone can watch or compare.
As for Mombasa Streets however, I agree that a photo of the final stat page from the film is probably best. That's what I did.

I hear what you're saying RC. I really dont think its necessary to go through all that trouble to prove if someone has beat the game on mythic. We probably will be able to tell if someone is cheating just from the game stats.
