The first tank was distroyed. You know the one over to the left, but after that I just rushed past the second one, going the long way to the door and then it opened and let me through.

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!

Then it may just be the one, but destroying that tank without a Scorpion requires far more luck than the Tayari Plaza rush.

I might try it agin, this time, not distroying the other tank and seeing if I walk the long way around what happens..

Wow, I just found out that on the level Tank level, you dont have to kill both tanks before the gates open, you can just rush past them, then it triggers the event and the doors open, you can rush past the enamys who come out of there as well.


Then you did something else to trigger them. Both Matclan and myself rushed up to the door several times, but it wouldn't open until the tanks were gone.


IIRC we even tried destroying one of the Wraiths from time to time as well, just to see if leaving one alive affected the door at all. It didn't for us.

I am going to keep on trying the rush to find out why it worked.

Can't wait for your comments though. Don't forget to mention me!


You gotta upload your films first so I can borrow something from them :-P

lol!
I will!

And if you don't find anything, say "Don't be like Gazas and do this or you'll fail."

Gotta get Pro first though.

OK, sorry about the delays, but I'm definitely getting a pack of 50 render minutes tomorrow so expect your films to be rendered at some point then, Tyrant. I'll link them here when they're all done.

Hi

I know I'm a little late in saying this, but congrats to Hefty Spartan for making the list!

I'm still playing MW2... I'll get back to Mythic eventually.

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

Data Hive complete. Don't think there's much I'd do differently, so this will be the walkthrough run as well unless anyone has any significant discoveries that I didn't run across.


I am working on a way to go through the drone hive without the drones spawning. I have mannaged to do it I just need to refine it.

I am still stugguling with the first level, for some reason, I can rairly get past the section with the jackle sniper tower, its the sheilded jackles that keep on getting me, the grunts are easy to kill, and I can some times rush past, but my sucsess rate isn't very high. For the next section, do you suggest I just kill the jackles with carbine and sniper and then rush through the rest?

Haha, yeah who cares about the normal Drones, the Leader is what makes that area the hardest one!

Anyway, seeing as my parents are really proud of me for doing nothing but homework the last days including the weekend (I've only touched Xbox before going to bed to see Waypoint news), I think I can just ask them for a 100 and just get Pro. Although my lungs are kind of hurting right now and I'm on my way to the doctor so if I'm unlucky, it might be something that will have me stay...indoors. =( I'll definitely upload my ODST stuff as soon as I get it though.

It really hurts though, had a physics test today and my classmates got annoyed from my constant heavy breathing.

Use the nearby Mauler and Plasma Rifle to stun them, then get in close and melee or stick them. Or you could just kill a few and leg it.

Also, I'm interested to see the result of Muzza's supposed method of not spawning the Drones, should be interesting.

And of course it'll be good to see Gazas back in the swing of things, hope you get well soon.

EDIT: Legendary member overnight? What the...? I skipped Heroic lol.

I have finaly compleated the level and have come out of it with many a tale to tell. I tried to follow the guide, but with many of the guides, as certain parts I need to improvise and change course greatly.

With out the dronew spawning that should make the level a lot easer. Should I do that instead of the tank level next?

Whichever you want. Personally I think that Data Hive is easier than Kizingo Boulevard as it's easier to plan for close quarters infantry battles than for vehicular carnage.
Neither of them are all that bad with the new methods, though so pick your poison.

I had to stay out in the cold outside the hospital for a long ass time because they thought I might have the flu, I finally get in and they find out that...


I'm perfectly normal. They say it might just be the aftermath of my previous cold. Ok...?

That aside, maybe I can get something done now...whatever I used to do.

I just got through again, this time not killing either tank. You have to go near to Dutch so he says all his scripted lines (hide once you are near to him. Then get in the ghost if you wern't already and drive a way away. Then come back to him and make him to to the top of the stand thing (with the door that opens) then he will say 'Cheack the door' or some thing like that and the door opens. Sadly you cant rush that section as there is a barrie blocking the ghost, but I guess you could just run. I cant remember how far that section is from the end of the level.

It wasn't me. I've just had an email from Amazon saying that there's an error witht he transaction, it's only affecting UK (and possibly other European) customers currently so I can't render anything for you. Sorry. :-/

Film of not having to kill either tank up and rendered :D

Tell me what you think triggers the speaking. Is it that you have to let some time pass? Or maby kill a few brutes?

Sounds like you're talking about the area with the shade turrets and the roundabout. The bit where you meet up with Dutch, you need to kill some enemies.
