Yeah, thanks but for this community I am never consistent with runs as I never get around to them because of reasons that make it out to be more than just a game. This school week none trys

By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes!

That's right, we now have our own home! We currently have the bare necessities working (a forum) as well as a blog-format home page for community-wide announcements for group runs, site updates, etc.

Things are pretty barebones for now, but I'll be working on improving the site as my free time allows. In the meantime, if you want to help with the site, leave suggestions in the forums for things you would like to see added/changed!

Halo 4 Mythic Conqueror #1

So managed to do Outskirts SLASO in a single run and recorded it to boot. You'd think everything would be peachy then, right? Well just cause fate and the Mythic gods like to screw me over, the video encoding bit rate decided to have a hissyfit with the recording.

What does that mean you ask? Well it recorded everything, but instead of a nice smooth run like it should have been, it decided to get 'choppy'. In other words, every few seconds the video had cut out tiny 1-2 second increments, and even in some points fast-forwarded gameplay whilst still playing at the native speed.

So in the end I was left with a piss-poor quality video that barely constitutes a proper recording of my run, so now I'm back to square one; re-running and re-recording my run, having made the necessary changes to the formatting and also made sure the computer isn't stressed beyond belief. Here's to round 2!

Edit: @Sangheilioz: Very nice to see we actually have a definitive home now on the interwebs. Of course we'll all have to pitch in and spread the word of it otherwise it'll just be inhabited by us regs.

Yeah, I'm planning on setting up a sidebar that has links to relevant things, such as Tyrant's guides and youtube channels, the Bungie threads and groups, etc. Please link to our site in your own Mythic posts elsewhere and hopefully we can get growing!

Eventually, I'd like to expand to other campaign/firefight challenges in addition to Mythic, maybe even schedule times for the community to play matchmaking or custom games as a group. For now, we'll focus on getting our Mythic community migrated to the site since that's the main purpose for it.

I like this idea, could also advertise or have links to High Score and Speedrun leaderboards in this 'sidebar'.

Alrighty, changed the bit rate from constant to variable and that solved all my choppy vid problems. I got Outskirts done again and I'm currently uploading the run to Youtube so I'll amend this post when it's available. Hope you guys look forward to watching the beginning of what we all used to think was the impossible.

Well it's got another 70 minutes to go then it needs to go and get published and that'll take another 5-10 minutes. It'll be here for you and everyone else regardless so if you're drop-dead tired, don't force yourself just for this.

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

looks like a lot of skipping then again I know how quickly you die on legendary in Halo 2 so fighting it all out is insane.

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

I still shutter at the thought of Regret or Gravemind on Mythic...

Hehe, I'm the one who should be worried considering I'm attempting this. Cairo Station IMO is the most difficult. Close quarters, a bunch of invisible elites, what could go wrong?

On the flip side Uprising's easily the easiest level to speedrun with the top record being something like under 2 minutes. On SLASO however it's literally do or die at practically every junction. When I complete it and release the video you'll be seeing a lot of melee fights and backsmacks, followed by segments of running for my life.

Does using camo in a vehicle really mean the enemies cannot see you?

Yep. You wouldn't think so but I guess the enemies are content with seeing vehicles driven by invisible guys go by.

Lol, I was training the ONI:Sword Base with all skulls on except iron and I got inside the sword base nearly to the end and got killed by a suicide grunt. Damn those little things =P. But happily the Mythic does seem very fun to complete. I think I'll train this day and try to beat Sword Base tomorrow on mythic. Already got WC done on Mythic =)

Twenty-ninth Halo 3 Mythic Conqueror
Eleventh Halo 3: ODST Mythic Conqueror
Fifth Halo: Reach Mythic Conqueror

Cairo Station, The Arbiter, The Oracle, Gravemind, Regret, Uprising are the reasons that I'm not even going to think about trying this.

"It's just a floating vehicle driving all by itself. Hold fire, men--there's nothing suspicious."

It's probably the same reason the empire chose not to fire on the escape pod that held C-3P0 and R2-D2.

The fastest Uprising time is 1:50. Obviously you haven't perused HSH's speedrun leaderboards before or looked at some of the amazing stuff people have pulled off in Halo 2.

Segmented Uprising in 1:26, part of the Halo 2 Done Segmented, which was a special project that was done a while ago.
Played on Legendary.

I registered for the new mythic site :) It's very exciting to be building a website, but it's also a ton of work so congrats on the launch to all those involved!

@Aura, I also watched your first H2 SS SLASO run and subbed, can't wait to see more. The ghost in a ghost is just too funny for me, and I always remembered dying a ton on the last segment where you almost got obliterated. Looks like good old times!
