Quad Mythic will kick off THIS SUNDAY at 10am EST. For those of you who aren't playing but still want to get in on the action, we'll be broadcasting the Mythic experience LIVE on Justin.tv :-)


Voice-Chat eavesdropping and all? Or are you going to be pumping that to your headset only?


If possible, absolutely. To me, the Quad-Mythic banter is the best part of a live feed :-)

Just make sure you put voice on play through both and you should be good


Awesome.

Now, I know that if I set it to play through both, it'll record my teammates' voices, but what if I want mine to be captured simultaneously?

I have been doing voiceovers in my videos such as the one I linked above as that tends to be a higher quality. However, if your headset has a PC-audio out like my Turtle Beach X11, you can record your voice with Audacity then sync the audio into your editing program.

And me in the second one! lol

Anyway, it's been a while since I posted here last. I've been trying to find the motivation to finish Mythic, but it's just not fun anymore. Halo 3 and ODST were really fun, but Reach is on Halo 2 levels of not fun for me. It just feels like the game has to resort to a load of cheap tactics (Elite super shields, PoA MAC cannon randomness etc) to the point where I don't feel like I'm even playing the same game anymore.

Maybe I'll find my Mythic spark again with Halo CEA or Halo 4, but I don't really see myself being motivated to play Reach on mythic again in the near future.

Yes MATCLAN too! Sorry you haven't been around this thread for a while so I forgot to mention it. You should definitely try to finish up Mythic Reach before CEA comes out though since it looks like every game will have skulls from now on and you'll want to know you have done them all.

I know, I'll probably try to Marathon it closer to CEA. Or I might go back to it at a later date. But it will keep bugging me.

"World Record Holder?" That's quite a claim!

Have you missed any challenges to date? If yes, how do you know that you're the world record holder?

  • 09.04.2011 6:36 AM PDT

I gotta say that on LNOS that the Sword Camping works a LOT better than the rocket strategy. Tried it for the first time on the LD Solace yesterday and I only died once (yeah, yeah, not a TRUE LASO run but I've never been lucky in LASO challenges)

Also, for some reason I'm dying a LOT on Exodus today, and its only beat it on legendary without dying. Weird things, too, like a grenade goes off 10 feet away around a wall and it drops my shields and a spiker takes me out with one hit... :-/

And the fuel rod chieftain's cronies have INSANE aim today. I pummel him, drop a BUNCH with the rocket launcher, jetpack up and get kill by non fuelrod fire before I get to the top...

In fact, four times now...the REGULAR LASO was easier. For some reason the chieftain would ALWAY turn around and I would have to do the room the LONG way. This time I pummel him and get killed in midflight.

WOW, day for firsts... I was killed by a BANSHEE whilst in the falcon. NEVER happened on previous LASO runs.

Yeah, I too died a lot on Exodus today; I just realized how dangerous my Rally Point Bravo strategy is. Kids, don't try it at home.

Same here. The Chieftan turns around or his friends always kill me off. It's always one of those two when I try to assassinate him. So I don't - I take out everything else there with the DMR (And if I need to use it, the Sniper downstairs) and just blast him off the landing pad with the Rocket Launcher when he goes outside.

Also, whatever happened to the Quad Mythic Stream? If I've got my Time Zones right, then it didn't happen when I checked out the link to it at 10am EST.

I think you mean more efficient and quick, the rocket strategy is safer but can take a large portion of time.

BTW, on the Long Night of Solace, the Elites in Cannon Control only spawn as the door to that room is opened. So you can safely wait a few seconds in the hanger/hallway area and then still get in there with them being unaware. AFAIK.

Live Stream didn't happen: Tyrant couldn't connect properly to the streaming site. Gameplay happened though. Did fairly well but just random stuff or lag killed us. Or, ya know, I crashed into the Savannah.

Speaking of svavanah a death from it reads as a land banshee on the carnage report. I was also messing around and at the top of the comms room when the savanah shot me twice. It was weird but it was the only thing I could come up with that could take out in to shots when there were no enimies around.

Nope. There was a system error during the Waypoint transfer that took one off on August 17, but I have video footage showing that I completed them all and bs angel is looking into fixing it.

Second place has 3-4 less Dailies than me. And 3-4 other people have done all the Weeklies.

Hi, my name is Stolen_Zombie! My morning routine is to bomb the ocean, eat a house, drink salt water, and kill a zombie. Many people consider me a jack ass because I eat corn flakes, I tell those people to go have sex with a kangaroo. After my morning routine, I rage over beating LNoS on mythic so I can get one step closer to mythic reach completion. I should mention that's after school. My diet is shotgun shells and paper airplanes, nice to meet you!

Might be an obvious question, but a co-op mythic run doesn't count towards that person's progress, right?

My aim is not improving much...OK, I'm going to try and grab more than one Concussion Rifle, which means doing combat with the Elites in the first smelting room. Are there any Concussion Rifles at Boneyard or are those the only two? The idea's to give me enough ammo for two or three jumps to the Mass Driver so I can reload the DMR or grab the Sniper Rifle.

Just curious are you trying to use the cocussion rifle jump method? I actually had RC tell me fighting it out was much easier than the jump. Just sayin



By the way here is a clip of me going ninja on the four elites of the apocalypse. I one on one on all of them including the duel-wielder who almost won the melee fight. I had 11 skulls on but its still pretty close.

Here it is

I'm intending to fight the first wave on the ground. I'm considering fighting the second one on the ground initially too, since dealing with the Chieftans there and then is definately easier IMO then fighting them after all the Plasma Pistols have vanished, and I'm sure there's enough NR ammo in the second Smelting Room to eliminate both Chieftans and a few captains. But I do intend to do the majority of the second wave up there and kill off the PL Chieftan's Phantom upon arrival.

My aim is rather bad, though, which is why I'm wanting to secure enough CR ammo to go and get more DMR ammo if I need it. Besides, my aim will be that little bit better without Emile firing the gun at anything that's not threatening me. lol

There is a Ranger Elite who spawns on the cliff-side of the interior of the frigate in Boneyard who has a Concussion Rifle. However, he jumps down into the fray as you move about half way up Boneyard, so you're not getting his ammo without killing most of the enemies in Boneyard 1. Good luck with that.
