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.
That sounds easier than it is. I can't tell you how many times we thought we crossed every "i" and dotted every "t" only to have a random factor bork the entire run. The comms room is a classic example. Sure, in theory the rocket/sword strategy is a great one, and to date, it's been the most reliable, but unfortunately, the AI don't always behave the way you want them too.
For example, a Ranger distracted by one of the players at the top sets himself up for a perfect assassination, and once you sneak around and reach striking distance, the ADD wears off and he suddenly wheels around and dropkicks you in the face. Other times it's a random grenade. Space? Don't even get me started. When seven Seraphs suddenly decide to ignore your teammates and go straight for you, there's little that they or flipping can do.
These random factors are a strength for Halo and a weakness for Mythic. My guides are simply that. Guides. They're there to help point you in the right direction. They can't do it for you. That's why that list at the top of the thread isn't longer. Well, that and people are too nervous to try primarily due to lack of payout scaling with the challenge.
I can honestly say that every week my teammates do their very best, and win or lose, I'm always honored to play with them :-)
In addition, because we have different people every week, and those people have variable skill and experience with Mythic, no strategy is ever going to be "most" reliable. For example, our plan for the Anchor 9 space battle has been the same every week, but had to change this past Sunday because two of our players weren't strong/confident enough in space vehicular combat. Because they essentially had to hide behind Anchor 9 for the fight, there was a lot more focused seraph fire on myself and Tyrant and we had to find a safer strategy for that section.
