[b][u]Mythic ODST Q&A[/u][/b]
[b]Q.[/b] How would you rate Mythic in ODST compared to Halo 3?
[b]A.[/b] Over all, it's much easier. At least half of the missions can be raced from start to finish in most cases. And apparently ODSTs may not be able to jump as high or run as fast as Spartans, but they sure as hell can take a lot more damage!
[b]Q.[/b] Do I have to beat [i]Mombasa Streets[/i] in order to complete Mythic campaign?
[b]A.[/b] It's entirely up to you. If you select it from the menu, it technically has no end. Therefore, it makes it impossible to complete it as an individual mission. As such, it is not a requirement.
[b]Q.[/b] What is the easiest mission?
[b]A.[/b] [i]Uplift Reserve[/i]. It's even easier than [i]Floodgate[/i]. I inadvertently snagged the Vidmaster Classic achievement on my first Mythic run...
[b]Q.[/b] What is the hardest mission?
[b]A.[/b] [i]Coastal Highway[/i]. Some even consider it more difficult than [i]The Ark[/i]. Not only do you have to keep yourself alive through swarms of Brute-controlled Ghosts, Banshees, and Wraiths, but you also have to watch out for your buddy Dare and her new pet...
[b]Q.[/b] Do you get a medal, emblem or achievement for doing this?
[b]A.[/b] Nope. If you're going to do it, do it for the challenge and the feeling of accomplishment.
[b]Q.[/b] How do I make it on the "Conquerors List"?
[b]A.[/b] Hyperlink all of your completed missions in this thread, and make sure you have all films in your file share.

[u][b]Mythic ODST: First Impressions[/u][/b]
As you can probably tell from my campaign history, I wasted no time last night cranking up the Mythic Madness with the exception of the Blind Skull at first simply to get adjusted to the new user interface.
Initial thoughts? The game is truly a wonder and allows Myhic to shine in a very unique light. The pistol puts the BR to shame in every respect, and if that piece of weaponry never ran out of ammo, I doubt death would occur very often at all.
Thus far, I've run across a few useful tactics for Halo 3 Mythic that carry over into its ODST counterpart. Trick shots such as Range-Shooting, Clip-Shooting, and the Pop-Shot all still work perfectly.
But there's a catch...
The AI seem to have been given a few new behaviors (such as advancing and retreating) that sometimes keep you from pulling these tricks off successfuly.
Things that have changed? Just from what I've witnessed so far,"stupified" Jackals have been removed from the equation entirely. They can now hold that plasma pistol charge indefinitely, so it looks like we're back to the old ways of dancing with berserking Brutes and assassinating fleeing Jackals in order to recharge our shields... er... I mean Stamina.
Additional info:
- Enemies seem to be weaker. The infamous ranged-jump performed by berserking Brutes is no longer and instant kill, even on Mythic.
- Grenades (stickies) are weaker. A stick with a spike grenade usually won't destroy a Brutes armor. By the same token, though, they will still berserk with their armor. And yes, Brutes can STILL berserk with their weapons drawn. It seems more common in ODST than in Halo 3.
- Jackal Snipers have lost their magical one-hit-kill-anywhere feature. They can still one-shot you if it's through the dome, but typically it will take at least two shots to bring you down. Note that one shot to the armor will bring your stamina all the way down.
- When you plasma-charge an enemy under the effects of an engineer, the shields regenerate almost instantaneously, so be sure to follow up quickly with a headshot using a mid-ranfed weapon (eith Carbine or Pistol). Note that it still takes a couple of seconds for the shields to recharge [i]completely[/i], so even if you see it reappear, it may only take a couple of headshots to bring down the enemy if it JUST reappeared.
More to come...

I never once had a problem with kikowani maybe just some personal errors but I do have problems with kizingo.
-
Stupid mission, I missed the Scarab every time I tried to land on it. And whenever I tried to skip it, it killed me so hard.
-
Tyrant's busy with some stuff like work and a movie project he's running at the moment. Something like that IIRC. And good luck to Sliding Ghost, remember to rush the Scarab or it'll shoot you down.

And that will keep me safe from the Stalkers? ... Great! :D Thanks for the tip. I will try again later today if I have time. I was very pleased with this level and when I saw Tyrant do it on Mythic, I thought it was going to be easy. I guess not. :-/ [Edited on 02.14.2010 5:58 PM PST]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Sliding Ghost I just tried Kikowani Station yesterday and when I reach the area with the Scarab, -blam!- the Chieftain sneaks up on me and kills me. Is there a way to kill the Chieftain before the fight with the Scarab? I want to use the Gravity Hammer to propel myself away from the Scarab's blast. Risky business taking the blow and getting the Optican health pack. I'm too afraid to do what Tyrant did, running past those Stalker Brutes. *shudders* So I want to kill them first. [/quote] Grab a Beam Rifle (or save one from earlier) then run tot he back of the room, activate VISR and let 'em have it. Once they berserk either assassinate them or use the Automag to finish. Eventually the Chieftain will charge and a quick sidetep + melee later he's dead.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MATCLAN [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Vincent K [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MATCLAN It's good to hear that the guide's moving on somewhat. Let us know if you're likely to be online at some point and we could do some hit and runs on ODST or run soem Firefigth for a while. Actually, I need to introduce you to "holding the line" too. I can guarantee you'd enjoy that (as would mostly everyone else who has experience with both Mythic and almost impossible situations).[/quote] Sounds interesting. Y'know, I just realized in all the time since I've been gone, that eight hour game of Firefight still never loaded. God that sucks.[/quote] Yeah, but it's still there on our in game records. That's good enough for me. Also @ Tyrant: I think you need to link your most recent mission to the OP. Your list of progress still has two missions without links./memo[/quote] If you mean Data Hive, wasn't he going to try out my Hive Skip?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RC Master You too busy for more Mythic Tyrant? Ya gotta finish it before Reach comes out. You know that right? :P[/quote] Lots going on with my new independent film production which has been taking up a fair amount of my free time (and money!) which has distracted me from a number of video game related things, but I still enjoy popping back in here :-) Haven't made much more effore with [i]Coastal Highway[/i] but I HAVE been doing a bit of writing in regards to the guide. Don't have an ETA at this point, but hopefully will in the near future :-)

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HC Thug Nasty In ODST what does the cowbell skull do exactly. In Halo 3 it made grenades blow up bigger and faster. I don't think it does the same thing in ODST. Can anyone explain?[/quote] Not sure about grenades, but I've noticed that it's always made chain explosions more frequent and the blast from a Grunt's confetti ridded death to be powerful enough to damage nearby enemies (or players, I've killed myself by headshotting a Grunt at point blank before whilst I was an inch from death) and start chain reactions.

Welcome back Vince. Not much been going on here recently. I've been over at Halocharts recently, checking back here every now and then though.
-
Huh, it's been 4 months, Vincent? Welcome back. You haven't really missed too much with regards to Mythic other than a (few) new conqueror(s) and Tyrant almost finishing. However if I were you, I'd have a quick hop over to the Reach forum to check out some of the new info that's being summarised, it looks quite promising for Mythic on Reach. :-) Also read the "Be a Hero" article on the front page if you haven't already done so.

*stretches* Guess who? Would you believe that it took me roughly four months to fix my laptop? The last time I was posting was on another person's laptop. Looks like I've missed a lot, but it's good to see everything is still kicking.
