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

Posted by: MATCLAN
I'm with Gazas, I want to experience the story whilst playtesting the new weapons and being put in several barely challenging scenarios. Then, once I've got the feel of the game I'll definitely move up to Legendary and eventually Mythic since Legendary is supposed to be harder this time around.
Exactly.

Although I don't know if I should start on Heroic then Legendary, or Normal then Legendary.

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

And what exactly is the deal with this ODST truck? Anyone have a link by any chance?
What?

The ODST truck is a truck that goes around in America, I don't know exactly which places, and people can go play Firefight in the back of the truck. I don't know if it's still driving around. lol.


Yeah. I really wish something like this was happening in Europe and the UK...
Anyway, here's a link to the areas it's stopping and a news story for Tyrant. :-)


Thanks!

It's coming to my city on the 17th :-)

Lucky bastard! Where do you live?

I'm hyped as hell for ODST now after watching the vids on Gametrailers.

I think I'll definitely start on Heroic.

Iam enjoying Halo Reach and revisiting some past Bungie games, iam a big fan of Bungie and their online community.

Iam sure this will come in handy when ODST is released.

Well I nearly did Floodgate on Mythic, then never had the time to do it on the full campaign, but since ODST is shorter. Hmm, I guess I am in.

I'm going to be in ODST city on the 16th (beat you by a day : ) ), only I can't go to the ODST truck because I'll be visiting the colleges and whatnot in the area. I'm going to be right there but won't be able to play Firefight.

:(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( supa sad face

It will be coming out less than a week from then anyway, so its not that bad. Anyway, I believe that Heroic spawns all the enemies that Legendary has? At least that's what I think Halo 3 did. So, I'm starting off on Herioc to enjoy the new game.

A quick FYI here guys; the podcast confirms that skulls are available from the get-go in ODST.
Mythic FTW!

Yes, I posted a thread about it earlier.

  • 09.04.2009 5:50 AM PDT

Reading over this thread has convinced me to complete ODST on Mythic. I've tried my hand at Halo 3 on Mythic, but since I had already played through the campaign so many times I found it boring and unoriginal. My game plan----->

Midnight Release - Complete Halo 3: ODST on Normal before school starts seven hours later.
After School - Complete Legendary four play Co-Op (With a good team that I'm looking around for.)
Later on - I will attempt to conquer Mythic! (After I unlock Recon, of course.)

I'm going to crank up Mythic from the get-go. I'll downgrade if I find it's really that bad, but I want to at least try it first. When I play this game, I want to feel like it's the real deal.

Are you telling me that you're going to tun on ALL of the skulls and restart when you die?

I can understand turning on all skulls but Blind and Iron (and possibly Blackeye).

If thats the case, I might do Legendary because I don't really want to leave anything out. I'd like to play through and keep a mental note for later on how I might conquer the game on Mythic.

Can't you just play Heroic and then Legendary then? I don't wanna get owned in a game I'm new with.

I actually kinda like that quality in a game. Considering my first play throughs in all 3 Halo games were on Easy, maybe I should step it up to Legendary so it could actually be more challenging. It would certainly increase gameplay time on the first run.

Well...I got owned in Halo 3 on my first try and I played on Normal. I didn't die but I had to take cover a lot.

Since it's still Halo 3, I shouldn't have that problem and since Heroic would make it a little harder, I'd feel a little more human.

I could choose Legendary but I want to make use out the SMG and the other weapons. It would take 5 minutes to take a Brute's shields down in Legendary. Not really but you know what I mean, it's quicker on Heroic. I want to get the feel of the game first.

That's kinda why I don't want to start on Mythic; Tilt would make the SMG useless and I want to play around with it a little. It could work on Legendary, but it would take a while to deshield anything... I also just wanna Rambo a Brute with only a Pistol just to see how much stopping power the thing has (hopefully more than on Halo 2) against shields.

From what I've seen it's weak and will have the exact same function as the BR in Halo 3, in Mythic that is.

I don't know why I'm afraid to play on higher difficulties on new games, specially a game on that's basically Halo 3, seeing as I managed to complete Mythic.

  • 09.06.2009 11:59 PM PDT

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

Well, for one thing, Mythic is all about preparation, patience, and determination. You're already familiar with the controls and the weapons, it's just a matter of preparing for each situation, which you know about ahead of time. In a new game, or even an expansion like ODST, the gameplay and weaponry are different from games you've played before, and coupled with a complete lack of knowledge of what lies around the next corner you can't really prepare for each encounter.
