I know what you mean. I've had an urge to play Coastal Highway once more before going back and playing as a Spartan again. Something just appeals about walking into a room with dual Plasma Pisotls and letting every Brute in the place know who's boss and why they should arm Grunts with something else.

EDIT: Scratch last, I can feel some Silent Cartographer & AotCR coming on. :-)

lol, go for it. I'm sure we wouldn't mind reading your Mythic musings in here or the Halo 3 thread provided they were on topic.

K so here's one of them. Buck says "Bam, said the lady!"

In Coastal highway when Dare blows up, he should say "Boom, said the lady!"

That's the only musing I had besides "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWDASYEFGUASEFSEFASEF"¤!&quo t;#¤%"#¤%#"!¤%" while doing Coastal Highway.

Shouldn't it be "boom goes the lady"?

Question. Someone mentioned additional Magnum ammo on Tayari Plaza but I can't seem to find it. Location please?

All I know of is after you get past the barricade and enter the area where the hunters are. There is magnum and carbine ammo there. Other than that, I am unaware of any ammo. Hopefully, you get lucky and fight a carbine brute.

Earlier, someone mentioned a "corner" where there were 40 extra mag rounds but they were invisible...

Same here. I havent run into any other automag ammo other than where MoleN mentioned.

I know of two locations, one is by that barricade where the female Marine is at the Hunter area.

Second one is actually near the beginning, where the two Marines find you. Get inside the building, go upstairs and then get to the balcony where Buck says "What the hell happened here?"

Turn left when you get out to the balcony. Should be a bunch of dead Elites there. You'll get almost full ammo for your pistol. From that very balcony you can also flank the Brutes for you Marines. Hope this helped.

That actually helps a lot. Thank you! I know there's a ton of ammo in the Hunter area, but that sniper tower right before then is usually where I run out and am forced to improvise. And though I could do it if a few Carbine Brutes spawn, I'd hate to base that area on pure luck of the draw. Thus far, that has been the only bump I've faced on that level... ammo.

Thanks for the tip!

I'm currently 3/8 with Mythic, and I'm going to try and tackle the Plaza tonight.

Great, good luck!

Are you going for eliminating every enemy in the mission or will you skip the Hunters? I think I want to try that, I've skipped the Jackals and the Hunter area.

I'll probably skip them. At least right now, I don't have a solid way of bringing either down on Mythic without a heavy weapon of some sort. Seems to be more trouble than it's worth to fight them.

BTW - look for Sierra 2.0. Should be popping up on HBO shortly :-)

EDIT: So far I've actually been able to do one mission per night. I'm sure that will change later on, but it's nice to know that people who will be trying out Mythic for the first time won't have it quite as rough as they did with Halo 3.

Last night I gave the Plaza a whirl, but failed miserably due to a lack of ammo (hopefully that will change tonight), so I switched over to NMPD HQ instead and beat it on my second try.\

Feels great :-)

On another note, Black Eye seems to be a LOT more realistic to have activated this time. Particularly since most of my "healz" come from med-packs rather than assassinating enemies. It seems more realistic to me to have a futuristic med-pack cure all of your issues than for the ODSTs to suddenly be "fine" after a few seconeds of breathing...

Bravo! Mythic just got a little more realistc :-)

I've used it myself. When you first meet up with a pair of marines (one says he saw your pod hit and that you're a lucky SOB) they will mention the the buildings are open and that you can flank the Covenant on the streets.
If you go into the building on your left and come out on a blacony its just on your left as soon as you step onto the balcony. It seems to be hidden within the corpse of an Elite so check that. I'll get a picture in a while if you want.

EDIT: nvm, Gazas beat me to it. :-(
And I agree with Tyrant, the pace for ODST on Mythic was much quicker than Halo 3. I completed NMPD HQ, Kikowani Station and something else (can't reember what) first try bringing 8 missions completed within exactly 7 days. When you consider that 3 of those days were solely Coastal Highway runs it puts it in scope.
