[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 tried it again today, simply splattering enough brutes while on approch seems to open the door. If you give Dutch the rockets as the door is opening then they will all shoot him, I managed to get past several times but then died while fighting the tank and the waves of enamys at the end.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] JFKES I think I have found a good way to speed run the whole of the tank level sucsesfully. I will try it out tonight and see how well I can do using it.[/quote] I watched the video. Even if killing the tanks isn't a trigger, clearly it won't just open when you approach it without doing anything. I've tried it. So has Matclan. You're going to have to kill a certain number of enemies in the area, so you're still not rushing. And if you have to do that, you might as well get the tank. Getting the tank is NOT difficult. Also consider the following... Even if you could rush the door and have it open, you still need to at least clear some of the enemies that will emerge and then the ones just beyond them. Not killing the previous enemies before hand will leave you battling enemies both in front of you [i]and[/i] behind you. Muzza, excellent find with the Drones! We'll have to give this a try on an amped up Legendary. If it plays out, I may be reworking my Data Hive. [Edited on 12.02.2009 6:19 AM PST]

Hive skip is pretty epic if you ask me.

-
Ok great. That would help with that level quite alot. I might have a go at Data Hive this weekend.
-
As far as I know you can survive more because you have tilt on and it helps a lot to have cowbell on.
-
Very nice. Can you suvive that though if you are playing on Mythic? Explosions are bigger and you are weaker. If it works good then that is amazing.

Don't think there's much I'd do differently, so this will be the walkthrough run as well unless anyone has any significant discoveries that I didn't run across.[/quote] I am working on a way to go through the drone hive without the drones spawning. I have mannaged to do it I just need to refine it.[/quote] O rly? Does that include the Leader?[/quote] Yes, no Drones in that area at all. Good thing is unlike the other loadzones I can skip in other levels with this one you can finish the level. I will try and get a video of me doing it on easy. [Edited on 12.01.2009 3:52 PM PST]

So the level can be rushed, you dont need the tank. Good, I was trying to find a way I could do that.
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] JFKES Wow, I just found out that on the level Tank level, you dont have to kill both tanks before the gates open, you can just rush past them, then it triggers the event and the doors open, you can rush past the enamys who come out of there as well.[/quote] Sounds like you're talking about the area with the shade turrets and the roundabout. The bit where you meet up with Dutch, you need to kill some enemies.

I am going to try it again on easy with no skulls on then save the film. You can watch it very soon.

I've just had an email from Amazon saying that there's an error witht he transaction, it's only affecting UK (and possibly other European) customers currently so I can't render anything for you. Sorry. :-/
-
Can anyone else confirm this?
-
I just got through again, this time not killing either tank. You have to go near to Dutch so he says all his scripted lines (hide once you are near to him. Then get in the ghost if you wern't already and drive a way away. Then come back to him and make him to to the top of the stand thing (with the door that opens) then he will say 'Cheack the door' or some thing like that and the door opens. Sadly you cant rush that section as there is a barrie blocking the ghost, but I guess you could just run. I cant remember how far that section is from the end of the level.

I had to stay out in the cold outside the hospital for a long ass time because they thought I might have the flu, I finally get in and they find out that... I'm perfectly normal. They say it might just be the aftermath of my previous cold. Ok...? That aside, maybe I can get something done now...whatever I used to do.
-
Whichever you want. Personally I think that Data Hive is easier than Kizingo Boulevard as it's easier to plan for close quarters infantry battles than for vehicular carnage. Neither of them are all that bad with the new methods, though so pick your poison.
