When I was your age, we had to fight the Covenant with sticks and rocks! And we had to share the rock!

I cant remember for the life of me what mission that quote is from.

It's altered, but the gist of it is from Sergeant Johnson, Halo 2, Metropolis.

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

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!

Halo Reach 2/3rds of the way mythic conqueror (6/9)

I figured out double tap. Two elites together retreat, one isolated or apart from each other with some distance go after.

What's double tap
Inb4 zombieland reference
Inb4 can't inb4

Halo 4 Mythic Conqueror #1

*Getting edgy to do more Halo 2 SLASO*

If only cowbell in Reach spun enemies around like Sputnik did in H2, I think we'd have all conquered the game within the first week.

I get the zombieland reference but it has a different meaning.

In Long Night of Solace after clearing the hanger, you proceed to take out 2 elites and four grunts. All right instead of engaging the grunts you go to the right door and stand in front of it. When it opens you quickly run through and engage the elites in melee fights to guranttee the cannon room occupants are unalerted. Its dangerous and random, so without being constantly on your toes and practicing it constantly you'll likely die.

Nope. Furthest we got was Hangar 2 battle.

Fun before Victory.

Got to the Mac Gun again and was taken by surprise when a Banshee flipped to dodge one of my shots. In the end, it was still that Phantom that took me out. Save & Quitted to try that specific section again and...didn't even lose my shields. Bit irritating to do so well after dying when the chance to take the shot appeared.

The landing pad showed me something that I'm now keeping in mind for my further attempts. Marines are VERY useful. One of them survived Wave 1 of Holdout, so before going to the Mass Driver, I gave him one of the Plasma Pistols on the floor. During Wave 2, the Chieftans were the first to fall, due to focusing on dodging my NR shots and therefore ignoring the Plasma Pistol shots the Marine ripped their shields off with. First time the FRG Chieftan's looked like one pathetically easy enemy to take on to me!

  • 09.20.2011 8:52 AM PDT

Yeah, the friendly AI are often underestimated, or just plain overlooked. Try giving the fuel rod to that marine once the chieftain is down and see how much carnage he can dish out. For that matter, giving a bunch of needle rifles to marines can keep your enemies dodging like crazy, though it wouldn't really work on PoA's landing pad since there aren't any around except the one you brought with you.

---

On a separate note, I'm not too thrilled with the negative attitudes towards our quad-mythic team. Considering we only get a few hours, one day a week to work on it, and we rarely have the same four members two weeks in a row, it's no wonder that the most difficult mission in the game is taking us a while to beat.

Hell, some of you (no offense) still haven't conquered the game solo and you only have your own skin to worry about. When you add three more people in, the chance for our old friend Randomness to rear his ugly head quadruples, maybe even more so considering the number and types of enemies changes with more players.

Plus, there's the fact that we're trying to bring along members of other parts of the community for these runs to promote our own community and to help dispel the myth that Mythic conquerors are no-lifers that seclude themselves from other players. While this is great for promoting our group, it puts us at a disadvantage because we get the increased enemies/ranks of enemies without having a capable player to balance it out.

Finally, we've tried to incorporate a few new strategies here and there to leverage multiple players, depending on the ability of our third and fourth teammates. Basically, we're trying to avoid having one guy run the whole mission with three people hiding, because that's neither fun to play, nor to watch. Because of this, our tactics change week-to-week, meaning our successes vary and what works one week won't necessarily work the next.

I'm pretty sure I could arm 2 marines minimum with Needle Rifles if I wanted to. I essentially have a full Needle Rifle by the time I reach the second smelting room, minus 6 shots used to kill the grunts in the first smelting room. I'll try arming a couple with them on my next run through the level and see what happens. Still want some of them holding Plasma Pistols/Rifles though.

  • 09.20.2011 12:05 PM PDT

If you can get two with NRs and the rest with plasma weapons you'll be set. Might want to throw the grenade launcher on one of them just to see what happens.

I think you quad-mythicers should find a stategy that consistantly works. If you find one that works all the time use it every time.
