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!

@Tyrant: Big fan of the videos, both the Mythic and LASO varieties.

I was watching through your recent LASO video of The Package and noticed that at about 36:40, someone from Noble Team goes flying straight up into the air, and I'm not talking just a little height. They get even with the the top of the lab before coming back down.

Any idea who it was and what in the world happened?


Thanks!

I'd say it was related to Kat's driving, but... New Alexandria. Poor Kat (*snickers*)

One of the Hunters is still alive at that point, so if I were to take a guess, it was likely due to a chain reaction. Oh, and he had it coming ;-)

Has anyone else encountered a glitch on POA where you can't actually get into the Mass Driver at the end of the level? Does anyone know what causes it? Or how to prevent it from happening?

EDIT: after you've met keyes, RIGHT at the end of the mission when you're trying to kill the cruiser.

Fun before Victory.

I've done plenty of playthroughes of POA and never had any trouble getting into the Mass Driver, nor have I heard of anyone having trouble with it. Wonder what the mission expeects you to kill the cruiser with if you can't man the big gun, though...lol

I'm assuming you triggered "cruiser moving into position--I need it dead"?

If yes, then that's really bizarre. I've never seen that before.

Yes. I'd already killed the FM and I was just waiting by the stairs for the cruiser to get close enough. When I got up there again, I couldn't get in :(

I'd already died in that run (a couple of minutes before), but this glitch is making me fearful to try again.

Why am I always finding something new when I do a "difficult" campaign mission? I'm doing the Legendary challenge for fun. Did the LD one a few weeks ago with little problem. Think I died maybe 3 times on that.

I am by no means a mythic champ like RC or Tyrant but I am satisfied if I do a difficult mission with only a few deaths.

ANYWAY...after watching your LASO video on LNoS, I change strategy. I decide I'm not going to storm up the beach. On regular legendary, the beach would be a challenge, not impossible. But I decide to run around and grab the wraith.

Wait for it to drop, pop the gunner, then do something I normally don't. I hopped down, ran in the water, and hopped up to take it. Normally I just wait for it to fire then run at it from the cover of the bridge. When I hop out of the water, it boosts at me, full speed, and splatters me. Has NEVER EVER happened to me before... XP

lol!

That's why I wait behind the platform first :-) If it tries to boost, I can duck back into cover, then charge it :-)

Tyrant, when I saw your new MythicTyrant video post on HBO news, I started to get really angry. I'm extremely anti-gender roles (I guess you could arguably call me a traditional "feminist") i.e. I don't believe one sex inherently has some traits that are worthy of note over another sex. So, I get enraged any time I see someone talk about "girl gamers" like it's something special or worthy of note, or something "girl talk" related--implying that the girls can bring something that the boys can't.

But then I watched the video: the content caught me off guard--it was funny and it was clearly intended to be ironic. I thought that was cool. Crisis averted. :D

Welcome to my world.

What's the weirdest, most random thing that's ever happened in a campaign mission? Ever been splattered by a Moa?

(never happened to me but its the most unthinkable thing I can think of...)

She came up with the idea as a demo for the rest of the series, and I thought it was way too good to not post on my channel :-)

Woh! I never realized that. I've been playing Halo 4 years now and I never saw that.

  • 11.08.2011 3:08 PM PDT

WOW! I just did my first Mythic attempt on Winter Contingency...got on my first try, too! Did it in 23:10. Wasn't going for a speed run. Not brave enough or well versed with the ends and outs of mythic and LASOs. Coulda cut down my time to 20 minutes if I had picked up a plasma pistol before I landed at Visigrad.


Highlights:

1. Only got hit ONCE when I ran by the first group of skirmishers and grunts. Never happened to me before.

2. Got 19 headshots out of 52 kills.

3. Shields only popped ONCE. Other than that I was untouchable.

4. I kill the last Zealot without using the "lure him to Jorge" trick. Just peppered him and he sat there and took it.

5. Took out BOTH elites at 3-Charlie at once with the car. BEAUTIFUL.


Scary Moments:

1. Once I KILL said elites, 3-4 grunts start to suicide charge me...and I'm facing them. I turn and haul ass.

2. Once Kat gets the door, an elite makes his way in with us. His shields are popped, though, and I take him out but not before he sticks Kat...who EVADES TOWARDS ME. I jump and she evades the other way and I survive. o.o

2. I blow up the propane tanks in Visigrad...and nothing happens. No enemies come out, nothing...I inch forward and here they come.

3. The damn forklift keeps inching closes and closer to me thanks to the concussion rifle. I'm in the DMR corner and its five feet away from me. I bolt to the other side...then the Zealot disappears. Jorge wanders to the front. I pick up a plasma pistol. Turns out the elite is wedged behind a crate, unable to move. I go up on the side and jump down and kill him with a beat down.

Do you have a film. Otherwise you will have to restart. Which sucks.

But WC is easy so its easy to redo.

I've never been lucky with Nightfall. The beginning skip is ALWAYS hard for me. When I get to the part with the Grunt Gunner, I've tried both running to the left and running to the right and through the building. Both I usually have a 25% success rate. I have little problem with the rest of the mission save when Jun screws me at the end.

And I need a video? I think its still in my temp history. I'll save the whole film.

That part took me only one try in my runs. After that I got passed honky dory and suceeded on my 3rd try.

After that one try Tots it is the next easiest.

Oh, goody! TOTS is by FAR my favorite Mythic level on Halo: Reach.

Say what you want about 343 Industries, but when it comes to challenges: 343 > Bungie.

A LASO as a daily? Interesting. Probably won't attempt it, since trying TOTS's just going to bring back irritation of the Falcon Run whether I do this Solo or on Co-op, but interesting to see nonetheless.
