EDIT: In regards to that trick jump in PoA in the Wraith area... would throwing a grenade into the mix give me more air lift and make success of the jump more guaranteed?

No idea. I haven't really tried grenade/sprint jumps. Could be tricky to get the timing right.

Also: I'm getting an Intensity :D

Well, I don't think I'll be able to complete my mythic quest seeing how unlucky I am, and the fact that the bf3 beta comes out in 3 days, then in 15 days after the beta ends bf3 comes out, which I'll be playing a lot


Don't give up! I have had multiple times I have gotten discouraged from Long Night and think about quiting. I get frustrated then I take a break. A few days later I go back to it fresh and clear of frustration.

I take it that the multiplayer is as glitchy as the first two games' then? That's disappointing.

Also, Mythic.

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!

That's the problem, long night of solace, I can't get that without tons of practice. If you look at it, I only have 3-4 hours once I get home from school before I have to sleep (apparently school is more important, bah). That's only one or two practices. I don't want to cast you out, but you know how much practice that missions takes. I'm also a huge battlefield fan (like I could play to level 50 ten times in bad company 2). I'll be playing the absolute hell out of battlefield 3, then 21 days later (insert joke here) Halo: CEA comes out, so I'm faced with two mythic campaigns, and my favorite multiplayer to deal with. So I'm in a bit of a dilema (not counting the fact that I cannot prove I've even done it ;(((((((()

We're pretty sure at this point that Anniversary isn't going to have a real "Mythic" but rather just some fun skulls to make the game more entertaining rather than challenging (not counting Malfunction). So you'll have at least another year before Halo 4 comes out and another possible Mythic mode :)

I think mythic and iron really make the game hard other than that all the others including blind are easy to cope with by themselves.

I have a love/hate with the black eye. In vehicles it sucks but I love abusing it to win melee fights with elites. Which I have become professional at.

@RC the intensity does wonders :)

@Tyrant I've loosely followed this discussion, is this "Wraith area" you refer to in the beginning where we run along the left rooftops? If you miss the jump or fall, you can use the Concussion Rifle to boost yourself up onto the second building very easily. I haven't seen this in a run b/c speedrunners don't like to show their screwups, but it's an easy fix.

  • 09.28.2011 3:16 AM PDT

Okay, listen, we should get our stories straight, all right? If anyone asks, and no one's gonna ask, don't worry, but if anyone asks, tell them as far as you know, the last time you checked, everyone looked pretty much alive, all right? Not dead.

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

So far I have prepared for losing the pelican gun by using needle rifle+sprint. Anyway one of those runs takes roughly 1 hour 5 minutes.

EDIT: "One of those runs" is a non mythic and extremely aggresive run with double tap and many risky maunuvers.

@RC, do you use a sticky grenade then plasma pistol shots, then needle rifle to take down the spec ops elite at the globe when first entering the bridge? It smuch faster than peppering.

If you guys wanted to make the quad new alexandria run a little more interesting, you can get in the guns of those pelicans too, it isn't limited to LNoS.

Me and Dark tried that. It didn't work. Whenever we completed the mission, it bumped us back to the last checkpoint.

While I haven't done it on Mythic, finishing a level with the Pelican Gun manned hasn't posed issues with finishing the level for me. I personally prefer Banshees on New Alexandria, though. Pelican makes NA a bit too easy for my liking, even without manned guns.

@Eli, Tyrant etc: Do you guys know of any good compression programs that'll keep the video quality high (1080 high) but do the obvious aforementioned compression? I got my HDPVR today and made a new youtube account etc but I'd much rather prefer uploading videos that aren't half a gig in size.

I'm already uploading a ~9 minute gameplay vid as a test so I don't really give a damn about this one, just for future ones. Any advice you guys have is appreciated.

Edit: I'm probably an idiot but looking online there's not much compression can do unless you're converting it to a friendlier format. I'm using MP4 as the format for my videos so yeah. I'm completely new to this so I guess it's all a learning experience right now.

On LNOS? I try to do the assassination - thats how I first completed the mission: got lucky with the Grunt Placement and tapped all of them out.

I use Premiere Elements. It's about as easy to use as Imovie with lots of cool extra features, and it's only about $100. It can be downloaded straight from the Adobe Website.

Don't know if you caught wind of my latest video, but uncompressed it was about 165GBs. After editing it in Premiere Elements and exporting it to mpeg, I was able to bring it down to less than two gigs :-)

Pro. I only use it to edit videos, text overlap, editing out parts I dont need, putting two or more videos together etc.
The simple stuff, really.

If I just record a gameplay for example, or a speedrun. I'd upload it straight away, no editing.
