[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...

Jew Man Man, Can you provide links to the High Score and Speed Run threads / guides? I couldn't locate them. Thanks, Hass [Edited on 12.15.2009 9:22 AM PST]

What a cool idea!

Nice one. So far I've got through "A" and "B" as far as removing people is concerned. I might tackle "C" today if I get bored of analysing the Reach trailer.
-
Ok, Highest Score Thread is 100% completed. Going to revisit the Speedrun thread now and fill in the blank spaces.
-

Or one (me) could just rush with a Laser and hijack the Wraiths while 3 people protect me with SMGs.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] JFKES On the level Oni Alpha Site, instead of blowing the bridge, you stand and fight off wave after wave of the brutes. If you take out every enemy then you have 'held the line'.[/quote] The trick is to do it before Mickey decides to take things into his own hands and blow the nridge anyway, even if you're still on it. I tried it on Mythic but the Brutes are just too resilient and aggressive for a single person to take down effectively. If I practiced long enough I daresay I could do it, but it seems like it would be more fun to attempt it as a group: 2 guys could man the Gauss cannons, one could grab the Sniper and the laser guy would blast the Wraiths.

-
Yeah I can't wait! What's Holding the line?
-
Yeah, the Chief never had any problems with a tank made of paper. Last night I tried "Holding the line" on Mythic after succeeding on Legendary. With another player or two I may have pulled it off, but Brutes surviving grenade sticks complicates things quite a bit. *Reach hype aproaching maximum levels* It'll be downloadable from ODST's extras menu BTW, gazas. :-D
-
Tank should be a little stronger in my opinion, you never died in it as Master Chief, but that's because the tank protected you.
-
The thing with the tank is that Ghosts (driven by Brutes) and Grunts really tear strips out of it, which is why speeding through to the second tank you can acquire works better with regards to surviving the first half of the mission; it's a technique that needs a bit of practice and forward planning, but after the inital success it makes things much easier.

I thought this was an exceptionally elegant approach to the mission. As an average (not great) player who has spent a great deal of time on this level I'm concerned that it relies too heavily on individual combat skills for the average player to use the guide successfully. Hijacking vehicles, sniper skills, destruction of the final wraith, etc. I have been relying on a tank-only approach to the level for solo and co-op high score runs (1066547 and 1244448 respectively) that I tried for Mythic. See my film at [url=http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=102289026]Alternate Approach[/url]. While a bit slower, it seems quite a bit safer and more reliable. Basically, you methodically kill every enemy with the scorpion, leaving nothing alive behind you. The only challenge is ensuring that you focus on grunts to avoid getting grenade spammed. Interested in other opinions on this. Hass PS: As a side note, I hope some of the challenges focus on High Score runs as that is where I've put most of my ODST energy. The new scoring system lends itself to some exceptional scores, especially if you play with different skull combinations relative to each level.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RC Master Much happen while I was gone? :) The ghost rush on Kizingo is still mildly intruiging, shows you can get it to trigger without having to kill the wraiths, but I think you may need some epic beam rilfe skills to do it on Legendary or Mythic.[/quote] Well you don't so much need epic sniper skills as opposed to be able to use 2 full Beam Rifles to kill something like 4 Brutes... After that stuff changes a bit and you rush for the 2nd tank instead of the door then proceed to destroy the Wraiths and move on.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] jew man man Who locked the Speedrun and High Score threads in the Group. I was working through Halo ODST for High Scores and I cannot edit it now.
