I don't know either but here's a strategy I haven't tried yet:

Skip the beach battle (Tyrant's Mythic strategy). Use the Ghost to boost into the first tower (Tyrant's Mythic kamikaze strategy). Don't pick up the Active Camo yet. Sneak past the Grunts and jump on the stacked supply cases, pick up the Power Drain, and go on the elevator. Throw the power drain at the Chieftain and his Brute Bodyguards and n00b combo the 2 Brutes. Headshot the bodyguards and assassinate the Chieftain. Make sure he's carrying Invincibility equipment. When you go down, activate it as soon as your shields go down. Then go to the active camo and pick it up. Pick up the Fuel Rod Gun as you return to the beach.

For the next part, get in the Hornet and destroy the Banshees. Destroy the heavy plasma cannon turret on the Phantom, but not the Phantom. When you've killed the Banshees, target the Wraith first (if it hasn't already fallen into the water) then the War Chieftain then the Anti-air Wraith on the left. Then take out all the Brutes that come out of the third tower. Don't destroy the Anti-air Wraith on the right yet (sometimes, by not destroying it, no Brutes will come out of the third tower door). Then give Arbiter the War Chieftain's Fuel rod gun and go to the right side of the third tower and get more Fuel Rod Gun ammo. If the War Chieftain hasn't used his power drain (if he spawned with one), pick it up. Go to the third tower entrance. If Brutes come out, throw it at them. Throw spike grenades at them. Then destroy the remaining Anti-air Wraith. Then go into the third tower. Go to the left corridor and throw a frag grenade (a well placed frag will disperse the Drones). Then fuel rod the Hunters.

Now go to the right corridor. Use the Fuel Rod Gun to propel yourself into the terminal room and jump onto the elevator. Don't activate it. Go down and go to the door where Arbiter and Elites are. Don't go through it yet. Look at your motion sensor. When you see the red dots, go through the door. Now 7 Brutes will be facing the other direction. Carefully assassinate them.

When you go up, go the left side (you should see a supply case) and pick up a plasma pistol. N00b combo the Stalker Brutes and go to the War Chieftain and assassinate him.

For the next part, just run past the Flood. When you go down, you should see Arbiter and his Elites fighting the Flood. Help them out.

After you've made it outside, get in the Warthog. Run over the War Chieftain (if you don't, he'll go to the Scarab battle area) and drive the Warthog up the hill (watch Nak8d Eli's ZS strategy) and go to the Hornets. Run over or melee the Marine Pilot who offers you the Hornet. Now use the Hornet to kill the Scarabs. When you get to Revelation, clear the first bridge. Don't go through the door. Jump on a supply case and go on the roof. Use the Beam Rifle on the Brute Bodyguards and then jump down. Activate the Active Camo when you get near the four Brutes and Brute Bodyguard. Now go to the Brute Chieftain and assassinate him. Take his invincibility and gravity hammer and go to the third bridge. Use the gravity hammer to propel yourself to the platform with the crashed pelican.

Using this method, you should be able to achieve 10 minutes or something. :)
