It's been a while. I'm not entirely sure if I am going to go through with completing Reach Mythic. On one hand, I'd like to complete all three Campaigns on Mythic. It's not even that difficult...but I suppose there in lies the problem.
To most of us, we'd say "it's not that difficult". We're used to it, but a lot of time goes in to the various runs before completing a level. Time I would normally be willing to spend, but I just don't feel driven anymore because I can't see myself actually enjoying it. (At some level, even Coastal Highway was enjoyable to me)
I can sympathise as by the end of it the whole fun factor was almost dead to me, and a lot of the effort I had put in did feel wasted.
On a scale of 1 to 10 of 'fun' involved in each level during my run, I'd say it went like this.
Winter Contingency - 9
Oni Sword Base - 9
Nightfall - 9, then down to 5 when it took forever to finally complete.
Tip of the spear - 6
Long Night of Solace - 8 for everything before the corvette, 2 for everything after.
Exodus - 4
New Alexandria - 7
The Package - 7
The Pillar of Autumn - 10, then down to about 5 when I died the first time at the mass driver, then 1 when I died the second time at the mass driver.
I think the word that many of us could give to Mythic is monotonous. We start a level, learn the tactics that'll work and those that won't. We get further and further each time and get closer and closer to the end. Then we get to the point where we are easily capable of finishing the level but every time we try, we somehow fail. A lucky grenade, a last second death; every one of those sorts of things sends us back to the start both tired and annoyed, and it just keeps happening.
Then that monotony kicks in and it justs makes the trudge to the end of the level a complete pain every time we try again. Rinse and repeat for every level we try and it's no wonder why some people are over it by the end of it.
Edit: 3 campaigns? What about Halo 2? I gave Mythic a try on H2 (albeit on normal) and I got as fire as the level Oracle. Flood are evil, nuff said. Makes me actually want to give it a try again to be honest. I've got a spare xbox that I could do H2 on without an update so I could utilise the sword lunging glitches and the like to get through. Hmm...
