Very impressive RC, looks like you might be our #4 if LNoS doesn't make you insane ;)

Also glad to see some of my tricks paid off for your run like killing that first elite and the rockets for the drones etc. I eventually caught onto your machine jumping thing in my run and got the FM to move back, but I just played hide and go assassinate with him instead.

Looks like PoA in some ways is actually easier than LNoS.
PoA may have long battles and tougher enemies, but your fighting space is much larger allowing for that tactical mid to long range combat to come in opposed to LNoS' small corridors and close quarters fighting which can often spell doom on Mythic.

So yeah, that makes me 8/9 with only the Long Night of Solace left. :D


I'm 7/9 with The Package (easy, peasy level) and Pillar of Autumn left. Come on people, place your bets!

Although I would really like to beat you, I think you have less work than me.. I finished LNOS in under an hour; it doesn't look like ANYONE has finished POA under an hour. This is going to SUCK.

Conquerorship for me almost certainly won't be until next week at the earliest, unless I really blast through all the stuff I have to do before Monday. So, theres an opening for someone to nab #4 armed with my tricks on PoA.

Oh I didn't actually kill him; I just ran straight past them all. Just it was more like what you did than what Smile did.

I eventually caught onto your machine jumping thing in my run and got the FM to move back, but I just played hide and go assassinate with him instead.
Ah, good good. After watching Smile go back and forth around the building for 40 minutes with the FRG chieftain I didn't feel like watching yours all the way through, sorry!

Looks like PoA in some ways is actually easier than LNoS.
I've been thinking that, which is why I did PoA first. Gonna watch all the videos I can this time so I don't repeat the smelting room debacle!

Nice write up RC. I'll deifnitely be watchingthat film.
In other news Gazas showed me how to blitz through the Comms room on LNoS; starting with an AR and Magnum (Rally Point Bravo) I can now clear those 6 Elites in just under a minute (58 seconds is my current fastest run).

Then the hangar is relatively straightforward as is killing one of the Ultras after Jorge has landed. However once the second Ultra retreats I have no idea how to take him out safely.
If I can beat him and start working on the bridge and 4 God Elites of the Apocalypse I think I'd be alot more comfortable with the mission.

Also as a sidenote, would using a Sword and Armour Lock mke melee fighting Elites easy? ather than "hit, dodge, hit, dodge" would "hit, block, hit, block" not work? I haven't actually used Armour Lock in the Campaign so I don't know how Elites would react to it.

Nice job! I think this may be the fastest POA run so far!

Mine is faster :D

Gamestats.


Beat me by a whole three minutes, well done.

Don't think its possible to do PoA in under an hour, fastest I got to God Elites was in an hour ten.



Also, I'm going to be updating the Speedrun Leaderboards soon. Should I base the runs on the Film Time which includes cutscenes and playtime only or gamestats that include pauses, playtime and cutscenes?

Halo Reach and all other halo games are great, people just love to complain because they have trouble adapting to change.

There will always be complaints about new games.don't beleive me? Go to Black Ops forums, it's the same thing there

wait so you have done halo campaigns with all skulls on and 0 deaths?

holy -blam!- -blam!-, i say this guy deserves haunted helmet.

Good luck with the Elites.

The Ultras look super frustrating even on Normal. I wonder about the Zealots.


They do indeed. I had the honor of playing Firefight at PAX this year, and I can safely say that the AI has gotten MUCH better, and the Elites are certainly far from pushovers unlike their Brute counterparts in both Halo 3 and ODST.
like how you had to get in that you played it at pax

Eh? At that stage in the thread people were curious about Reach so Tyrant was simply giving his first hand opinions. What's so wrong with that?

Anyway could anyone give me a rundown of what to do once one of the 2 Ultras is dead and the other has retreated right after Jorge and the Troopers land in the Corvette? I can't find a reliable way of killing the one who retreats.

I'm confused. Did you mean to say the TF2 goes back to normal on November 9th? I thought it ended on November 1st! This is awesome!

BACK ON TOPIC:

I just learned the hard way on The Package that the wraith gunner has a wider field of fire on his left side, then on the right.

I would have written the same thing as him if you got a faster time than me so...no. And he said the same thing when I beat his time in Crow's Nest I think.

The Package finished. That's 8/9 done! I'm on the home stretch, guys!

I'm not posting the video because I don't have enough room in my file share yet. Also, because this video contains no original strategies and it is really slow. It's my second slowest run; right up (or more accurately, down) with Long Night of Solace. If the legitimacy of my conqueror claim is called into question when (yes, when) I beat Pillar, I'll be more than happy to post the video.

I hated that level. No, not like "mythic hate" like I did with LNOS; I hated it because it was saying, "ha, I'm a level you can't beat, Michael", which made it all the more sweet when I beat it. In that context, I guess you could say I "liked" LNOS. But this level...I just hated it. It pissed me off. It wasn't really that hard of a level either. Maybe it was because I kept dying to the ghosts at the beginning. Maybe I'm just irritable right now.

I have to fight the beast herself: THE PILLAR OF -blam!- AUTUMN.

Mythic difficulty is Legendary with all skulls on and no deaths. Start up your Mythic journey and join our group. Our Mythic threads: Halo 3, ODST

Yes! I finally completed ONI: Sword Base. I think I'll practice TotS a bit tomorrow and hopefully I can get some Mythic runs in before another month has gone...

  • 10.30.2010 5:13 PM PDT

I would like to be a Mythic Member, or a mod.

REALLY BAD. I believe I deserve it, I am very loyal to the dear Bungie forums and want to keep everything in tip-top shape. Its always a real pleasure to be on the forums and I want to be recognized here.

Mythic is crazy, you deserve money for beating it.

Just played a little POA without Iron and Blind. My first impressions are that this level is as hard as LNOS, maybe even harder. Of course, I didn't de-load the wraith and the elites; I don't know how to. Also, I have don't have a good place to hold off and the end and ammo is very short. I'll watch RC Master's video; from how he talks and writes, it sounds like a nice conglomerate of all the best strategies to date. Yes, I'm using my competitor's video to beat him to a place on the conqueror's board. Feel free to use mine, RC Master.

Long Night fell, so will the Pillar.

Nice! That level was a tough one, but you develop some valuable Mythic skills.

Tell me something I don't know. An in-game armor piece might be a more realistic award.

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

I have a trick for you all trying to do LNoS that will make the final battle in the Hanger well the easiest battle in the game.
Did I mention you are also invulnerable while doing it?

Here you go.

Oh...my...God. Muzza, I love you. If I could, I'd kiss you.

Just tried this on Myhic without Iron and from Rally point Bravo, Four God Elites of the Apocalypse were no more. I killed everything like flies. I will definitely do this on my real run. I died at the last part again today but hopefully I'll get it done tomorrow using the turret. After dying there three times now I think I'd like to get it done next time I get there and this cheap yet awesome method ought to do it.

Back in my day, we didn't have any fancy, schmancy tricks! We had to fight the elites like men! It took us hours!

Now all we need to do is get an easy trick for Pillar of Autumn...

Seriously, I stumbled upon this thread and thought, "Mythic... how hard can it be?" Two minutes in and I'm realizing, "Oh. THAT hard." But each time I get discouraged, I load up a few of your videos and your awesomenesses feed my own piggy-backing awesomeness. Thank you for all of your help so far!

I kind of feel like I wanna finish the mission like you guys did, but there's really no point, I died three times there already and I just wanna get it finished. Back in Halo 3 it took us hours and more to complete a mission, then we found all those tricks, so why use our old tactics when we have new and better ones you know? =)
