The Mythic Threads (Halo 3) (ODST) (Reach)

Yeah it could be that it kills the purpose of Firefight since they wanna progress through higher ranks and the rounds stock up.

The Bonus round in ODST will be Mythic heaven. Just me, some grunts and a whole lot of headshots.

Mythic Firefight won't work. Difficulty multiplier skulls are selected in sequences over the course of a set, and the only real difficulty one you control is Blind.

As for Campaign, fair enough, but Firefight is a no-no.

Yeah. Engineers on a Bonus round? :-(
At least you don't lose lives in the bonus round.
And Mole, you mentioned BRing Grunts instead of Sniping them, but there is no BR. :-P
I suppose you could use the Carbine or Automag though.

Less melee, more shooting. I can absolutely say this based on the experience of firefight. As the odst, you don't run as fast or punch as hard, and when getting close to one brute your stamina can take a beating like no other. Try to take on 2 brutes head on in a CQFight, and you'll be needing a healthpack.

iWin.

I hope Ill be able to complete at least one level of this. I dont think I ever even did SLASO in Halo 3. :/

But Iron will be on, what are you supposed to do if you're alone?

I suppose we act like catch is on, and throw Grenades like they're out of style? Anywho, I'll hopefully be using Rockets against the Engineers.

Well, as far as I understand the bonus round simply ends if you die and you get a "free" respawn, the game then progresses to the next wave.
I could be wrong though, but this seems to make sense according to recent updates.

im pretty sure that in firefight you can customise the sequence of skulls and even turn all of them on all the time.
during the firefight demos they say its on "random mode" so there must be customisation.

Me neither. As far as I'm aware skulls activate randomly as you progress witht he exception of Tough Luck which is always the first skull to activate. Also, the fact that Bungie have never mentioned anything other than the "regular" mode or demonstrated it at Dallas or in the ODST truck, or at Gamescom etc tends to make you think that Firefight will only be customisable for as long as you survive.

It shouldn't be customizable since you could use it to your advantage.

Why do I get the feeling that a Plasma Pistol and AutoMag weapon loadout will be standard fair for people who have the vaguest idea of what they're doing in this game?

All pistols baby! Just like Halo 1. Except the PP was actually useful to get kills with....

When the dust settles, you will learn what true terror is.

I don't think Pahat will necessarily own firefight... his videos are typically speedruns involving running past enemies, not extermination runs that involve gunning down and destroying every single enemy.

Plasma actually working on bare flesh? The Tilt skull will take care of that.

Don't forget that we can steal Carbines from Jackals and Brutes if we need a bit more stopping power. We'll have to save Sniper weapons for Engineers possibly and Lasers for Wraiths & Chieftains (the ones without a hammer), because if one was to focus too much on Chieftains whilst Mythic or Tilt was active they'd get swarmed by other enemies pretty quickly.

  • 08.31.2009 3:36 AM PDT

Do you think we'll still be able to assassinate hammer chieftains like we can in Halo 3? It's just that I can't imagine an ODST flooring a chieftain from behind. ^_^

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

Two words...

Bonus round :)
but what about blind?

BTW sup Tyrant were have you been?


I think the silver skulls are all optional from the get-go, from what I've been hearing, so you can switch it on from the beginning.

Wow, wow, wow. I think I must have missed something. There will be Engineers in Firefight? Like the ones from the books?

^ Yeah, Engineers give Overshields to all Covies nearby. And they explode when you kill them.
