Did some practice runs on NA last night. Needless to say since my left wrist is in a cast and my right hand has a gaping hole in it, the results were humorous. I'd still enjoy doing a team run tonight if you guys don't mind me not being 100%. If you're down for it, let me know.

Matclan, sorry to hear about your teammate's Xbox. If you want to join in on the fun, you are certainly welcome to do so. I'm hoping to be online around 8pm EST.


Side note: I used to know a man with a hole clear through his shoulder. Used to keep a spare hanky in there.

Regarding the Mass Driver section of PoA. When you do the early jump, do the DMR crates in the warehouse spawn? If so, it might be a better idea to bring a Needle Rifle/Concussion Rifle combo to the landing pad rather than the DMR. This would simplify the disposal of the FRG Chieftain AND grant you plenty of ammo to deal with the rest of the enemies.

In the 5-ish times that I did the concussion jump to access the MAC-cannon early I never could find the DMR-crates. As far as I know they only spawn after the cut-scene when you hand over Cortana.

Thanks Legendary.

On a related note, Mythic T&T VII is going up this week. Anyone have anything they want to submit? RC's PoA jump is going up this week along with a modified (better) version of Michael Archer's Exodus jump. Don't worry, dude. You're still getting credit.

General, I'd love to use your Courtyard skip if you have time within the next 24 hours.

It's gaping? Maybe you need cannonball wound ointment.

It makes the jump a guarantee rather than a coin toss (regarding that first ledge). And I switch Blind on to make it Mythic. That's all, though.

I don't have time, but I might do it anyway. We'll see how frustrated I get with this whole "writing my own shell terminal" thing...

EDIT: Couldn't concentrate on my work so I went ahead and did it. See following post for my vids.

Nope; nothing in the Zealot Warehouse does. This is why I wait until near the end of the first wave before going up; otherwise I'd be in extreme risk of running out of ammo.

Major props to my hommie Sheeef. He made Recon possible for me. Long time recovering emails and passwords. And it was his. lol.

Ah-ha!!
Tyrant! Nice to see you pop up in the forums.
And of course it's your epic Mythic journey. Mmhmm.
Very nice.
Well, that's all.

Halo 3 Mythic journey took me awhile... not feeling it for Reach though. Don't play it much anymore. All about Gears 3 BETA and Netflix. lol till summer that is... ;)

I'm at work, but I'll definitely be on in a bit. Promise!

In other Mythic requests... does anyone know who discovered the WC Falcon trick and have a video of it in Mythic form?

Also I'm looking for a successful run of ONI Sword base where both objectives were rushed. Preferably someone other than RC since he is and will be in a number of my videos. Want to give other conquerors a chance at being in the lime light, mainly since I will be featuring a number of his videos in the special PoA episode :-)

In my ONI run, I rushed the AA gun: Rendered.

Why would you want to rush the comms array? There's only a few grunts, jackals, two elites (nothing a rocket marine, or the bumper of a warthog can't handle), and skirmishers. If you rush both objectives, you won't get the gauss hog. Good luck on your way back to the base.

This might even be common knowlage by now, but I wanted to share a little trick I did on Exodus to make things a little easier at the elevator room when the drop ships swoop in.

Before hitting the button to call the elevator, I dropped back down to the lower level where you entered the area.

There were a bunch of crates lying around, so I took my time and bashed them over to the opening and blocked off the entrance similar to how The Tyrant did in a couple of his Mythic runs. As long as you hit the larger ones along the top edge they rolled over fairly easily into place.

Then after that area was secure I ran back and called the elevator, waited for the dropships to drop off the reinforcements.

The top group charged right in as expected. The lower group . . . They were just chilling

As long as I didn't apporach them, they stayed put and didn't do anything. They even left the lone civillian alone too.

So, after taking care of the first group I stepped back out onto the upper deck. Sighted in . . .
and took them out fron a distance.

I took the Brutes out with the remaining sniper ammo I had and the Skirmishes were picked off with the DMR. I only had to take out all but 1 of the second group before the elevator became available.

So there you have it, for what its worth.

I just found it made taking on that room much easier to deal with not having to watch over 2 hammer captains.

Finally got New Alexandria under 20 minutes using the new tactics. Managed to jack a Banshee in midair, run straight through both the Club and Sinoviet, and at this point I've memorized nearly all of the side objectives.

Wasn't Cody he used it in a speed run first but it was either HoldXToTrick or Slynki.

Edit: From the upload dates on Youtube it was Slynki, Youtube video of the falcon grab.

WOW! Amazing! I've managed to pull that off a couple of times on Legendary, but never managed to work up a route for the rest of the mission to properly speedrun it.
Mythic though? Wows. Makes me want to run SB again...

I know Nak3d Eli does. He rushes Air-View base much faster than I did it; with not much margin for error. AFAIK is route for farragut was what I did.

Wrong

I repeat the exact same thing in my Mythic run.
