Indeed. Think this could work if the FRG elite were still alive? Might eliminate the zealot fight altogether.


That's what I was thinking. Although you'd need to make sure you have 100% shields and health.


Is there any reason to believe that a second concussion jump would NOT work? I mean, jumping up AFTER the Keyes cutscene. That way you might bypass the trigger that moves the Field Marshall back by the stairs.


There's no way to get that scene to start without walking to the area where the fuel rod Zealot hangs out, right? So I'm not sure this would really help other than give you another possible place to hide out while waiting for the Keys to give the order to shoot. So in the end, you'd still have to kill the fuel rod Zealot at a minimum.

#1 Legendary ODST Firefight Highscore

[UNINTELLIGIBLE > INSUBORDINATION(?)]

Just finished the Weekly challenge co-op. It made me realize how much of a a pain in the ass this will be on Mythic. It took us about 6 hours. Most of it was in the last two parts. By the way, we ended up skipping the zealot fight altogether, after failing numerous times. I jumped off of my partners head on to the upper level near the entrance, sprint along the wall to the boxes on the beneath the stairs to the mass driver,, and hopped up to the stairs. By crouching behind farthest panel from the zealots, the ships don't hit you. (my partners holograms below also helped). Then I climbed in to the mass driver after Keyes said fire, and boom.

It is certainly a great challenge and give you credit for very little, it is well worth 17, 777 cR: (. I did on Monday GOOD JOB:)

"Were it so easy..."

Tyrant, I am asking you again to differentiate between Mythic and Laso. MYTHIC = MYTHIC SKULL. Literally, that's it. LASO = Legendary all skulls on.

Don't feed me any "Oh, well, Mythic is SINGLE PLAYER" because that's phooey too. Literally the difference between SLASO and CLASO.

Note: Challenges - LASO challenges refer to beating missions with all skulls on (Blind notwithstanding). But whenever a challenge says "MYTHIC" they always request the Mythic skull and on rare occasion one or two random other skulls they pick out of a hat.

Please, you've been misleading the definitions of the public as badly as the 9 year old myth that Forerunners ARE Humans which some people STILL believe because they failed to pick up and read a book, or pay attention in Halo 2.

Mythic =/= LASO.

mythic refers to mythic difficulty, not the mythic skull in particular.

Mythic difficulty is legendary, solo, all skulls on (including blind), no saves, and no deaths.

Mythic difficulty has no direct connection to the LASO challenges (which aren't even technically laso, as there is no blind skull).

So, yes, mythic does not equal LASO CHALLENGES.

Mythic has been around long before halo reach and the titles given in challenges. As I understand it the term Mythic was coined because you can complete missions LASO but you can get around the affects of the iron skull using save and quit. Also, mythic is NOT strictly single-player. Quad mythic runs are a common occurrence in the community and still hold all the requirements of Mythic (NO DEATHS for any players). Quad-LASO is easy as cake because you can die all you want and the iron skull just sends you back to a checkpoint.

At least you got one thing right, Mythic =/= LASO

Right, but if you did a concussion jump then you might be able to go to that area before the field marshall gets there (In fact it's possible the field marshall won't go there at all if you don't move into the trigger zone(s) that move him back there). The main problem I see with the tactic is the fact you would be guaranteeing yourself NO SHIELDS for the mass driver, though your health should be full from the dropshield.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Quick summary of the difference between Mythic difficulty and LASO:

LASO:
- Legendary
- All Skulls On

Mythic:
- Legendary
- All Skulls On
- Zero Deaths
- No Save/Quit (missions must be completed start to finish in one session)
- Must Be Played Online With Scoring On* (for stat tracking)
- Saved Film*

*For verification purposes. Varies from game to game. For example, in Halo 3 simply having scoring on while playing online was sufficient as scoring was disabled unless you started from the beginning of the level, but in Reach that is not true so we also require a film or a screenshot of the opening cutscene (which, if you're going to be using a fileshare slot it might as well be the film anyway).

You guys also might want to add the fact that on numerous occasions Bungie has supported the legitimacy of Mythic difficulty. The summer mythic recon challenge, during a bungie weekly update a few years ago, in a more recent BWU a little before or after Reach's release, and all the stuff on the comm chatter about Tyrant's mythic guides etc.

Sure, Mythic's not a set-in-stone difficulty like Easy through Legendary but it's definately been approved of time and time again. Ignoring the signs is just plain ignorant, regardless of what the mythic skull challenges are telling you.

Yep. I was doing Mythic for fun that summer to see if I could beat the game on the hardest difficulty possible, and I just happened to get Recon from Bungie as it was during the Summer Mythic Recon Challenge :)

Guys, don't feed the parasprites. They know that the information on the name is available.

In a slightly unrelated note, this week's challenge can -blam!- right off.

But what's going to happen to the mythic community? The challenges are over and Halo 4 is coming out soon (on which, I DO NOT want to play Mythic)...will we just fade away?

Nah, I doubt 343 will forget skulls. They might leave them out for the CE remake but I reckon they'll definately be in Halo 4.

I'm gonna head over to the 343 forums later today and try and get some interest going for the inclusion of skulls.

well halo 4 is about 1.5 years away or more so that's not really a problem. I'm hoping they do include the skulls for the CE remake especially. Can't wait to replay some of those missions

Here's hoping for new skulls and removing of some old ones. Keep Iron, Black Eye, Mythic, Tilt & Thunderstorm (and the Silver Skulls)
Remove Tough Luck, Catch, Cloud, Famine

And why would we fade away? New game(s), new challenge.

Why would we fade away? We play Mythic because we love Halo and Bungie, but a Halo game made by 343 Industries could potentially be bad. I'm really hoping that 343 does something new with Halo 4 i.e. they use the previous Halo games as a jumping-off point and not any of this "paying respect to the previous games" crap. I seriously doubt it's the former though; I believe that Halo 4 will be recycled gameplay...and I'll buy it anyway and I'll hate myself for doing so.

Also, Tyrant said that this was his last Mythic installment. I think it also might be mine, too.

  • 06.07.2011 9:28 AM PDT

I hope 343 keeps the sandbox feel...
Alot of the joy I get from the laso challenges is that no matter how much you plan and anticipate, something goes wrong... And then you have to adapt hella fast. Maybe some people would prefer it to be predicable, but for me that decreases the replay ability...

Side note, ce remake, hit a button and it's instantly in original mode... That is cool. I wonder if there will be an achievement for playing it in original form all the way through as well as hd mode... No assassinations... ( sad face )

i thought he said it would be his last halo to write guides for, not play mythic on. Although I'm sure he's lurking here somewhere so he could just answer this himself

If he doesn't write the guide for 4 then I suppose one of us will have to. I might consider it.

That said, we should probably stay on topic. This is not a Halo 4 forum, but a Reach forum and while we are discussing Mythic, it would be best to do so in the group to prevent getting this thread locked for a technicality.

So when's the next attempt at Quad-LNoS? I feel like if we hadn't dissolved so early last time we could have gotten it. We're getting to the hangar more consistently, and everything after that is just avoiding unfortunate flukes.
