Yeah, as far as how we play Mythic, we just have to state the skulls used so we could do it anyway we want, especially the revert thing. There's lots of choices anyway:

SP
Coop
Segmented by level
So why not just make it through anyway you can? Deaths wouldn't matter as long as you keep filming.

Frankly, I never tried not to die, I always played to 'just survive' and it may be possible to beat H2 Mythic that way. At least a few levels.
So I was right. The lack of a single player effecting Iron skull leaves room for more options.

Co-op would be the best way to do it legitimately, since Iron works on that IIRC.

My job is not to finish the levels on Mythic, but to come up with strategies so other people can attempt it.

I play to find.

Hell, Halo 2 on Legendary was almost impossible. Good luck beating it on Mythic. The only way I can think of beating it is sword canceling and glitching out of every level so there aren't enemies to fight. :p
It's a shame that long range sword flying doesn't work in Vista.
Too bad about the swordlunging/flying. I've spent many hours floating across maps.

Yeah I like your strategy idea, we need vids like that, game plan type tuts. When I have time to post a thread at jumpers I'll include a section on Mythic and include your stuff if you don't mind.

By the way, MrMonopoli (boofass) is a good friend of mine. He could finish some levels (he did t2t) if he really went at it.

I don't know for sure, but I can't successfully do it on long distance targets. I can only do it when the sword's reticle is red (but I think it is sword cancelling shoot, melee, and reload).

Strategy is the best approach. I don't mind at all. Should I join the forum in the meantime?

I see. On Mythic? Does he have Halo 2 for Vista? If he does, give this to him. It's a tutorial on how to get the dev trainer working. The blogallenthinks download page is down, so he'll have to get the LIVEfix elsewhere.

Yeah, you should join, it's slow but it's not just H2 for tricks, it's any game. If you like Reach or H3 or CE there's some good vids at jumpers. Then you could just post your developing strategies for any game you want including H2 Mythic stuff.

Can you make an introduction thread if I sign up? I'm terrible at introducing myself.

Then again, I can easily present a thread filled with links and long paragraphs. My question is, can they tolerate that?

Just remember:

Envy skull, higher positions, skip parts, grenades, don't use tank on Banshees.

@ Ghost

Make a thread, there's good people there. Are you going to make a thread devoted to Mythic? If so, that would be cool and I wouldn't have to worry about it. Maybe we could get Monopoli interested.

You don't need a big introduction, just say Grumpy suggested that you do a thread of your interesting stuff.

Lol, and when you pick them all up, you are playing Mythic (or SLASO).

A sane man can't even get all skulls activated at once. I have a job and a family. And even if I didn't... Come on, maayaan....

Lol, playing H2 SLASO/Mythic carries a heavy price. We're talking maybe someone just do one level, then maybe someone else does another. Or someone do it in coop one level at a time.

What would be awesome is if 343 put up a menu for the skulls on the (hopefully) anniversary remake. Then more people would try it.

No, you pick all the skulls up on Legendary and then either beat one level at a time, called segmented or you play the game all the way through in one sitting. In coop get all the skulls while on Legendary and beat it all at once or do it segmented.

SLASO is what we call Mythic for H3 and Reach. We have a Mythic skull so SLASO is meant to clarify the objective. However, the IWHBYD skull and Iron skull are redundant skulls so are not used in Single Player. For coop, get them all except for IWHBYD.

you can get IWHBYD if you want but it doesn't do anything that would make a difference during gameplay and no Iron in single player because it's just for coop checkpoints.

All the skulls except Blind you get in Legendary so you may as well start in Legendary.

By the way, as a reminder, do each skull with a separate profile and save on the last checkpoint before you get to the skull you want. This way you will have it saved and you just run and get it. If you save and quit after you pick up a skull it will not appear next time.

To get multiple profiles you can do coop with P1 as having all levels open and have P2 as a new profile. Just play High Charity with P1 as the lead and when you are finished with the level, P2 will have all levels unlocked.

@ Lacertus - If you do play Mythic, maybe keep us informed and if you find a good way to solve some really tough areas, maybe share a vid clip or something.

Yeah, let me go over it again to make sure:

All skulls except Blind you have to be playing Legendary so go ahead and start on Legendary.

Now pick up all the skulls in any order you want. Once the skulls are activated they will never turn off unless you eject the disk or turn off the box.

That means that after you get all the skulls you choose the profile you want to play with and start on Cairo if you are going to play all the way through.

If you just want to do it level by level then just choose any level after picking up all the skulls.

Remember to film picking up the skulls and never stop the film because after you get Blind there's no way to tell unless you document picking them up without stopping.

If you are successful then when you put annotations you would just say done with all skulls (except IWHBYD) on, in coop on Legendary and you would state as to whether it's done segmented or not. Never splice a film like this, other wise you will be taken to task.
