"Welcome to the first of 10 challenges geared towards pivoting you against the most challenging aspects of the Halo 3 campaign with a chance at gaining a very precious award. Why are we doing this? Consider this your first step to training for the hardships delivered by Halo 3: ODST’s Firefight mode. Not only will you get used to battling enemies with the various skulls and live to tell about it, but just like the game mode, each challenge will become progressively harder since we are ordering the missions from easiest to the most challenging
This week’s mission? Complete Floodgate on Mythic Difficulty and submit your entry for a chance to win Recon Armor. The rules are fairly simple. Load up Floodgate, make sure your settings are on Legendary, switch on ALL 13 skulls (both gold and silver), and also turn on scoring. When you complete the mission successfully, upload the film to your file share, and send me (Tyrant122312) a personal message on Bungie.net with a hyperlink to your film. If you don’t know how to create a hyperlink, the talented web designers of Bungie.net have provided you with a text legend at the bottom of every post and PM to instruct you on how to do it. Do NOT just simply copy/paste the url. You’re entry will be discarded. Don’t worry about tagging it either. Simply put “Mythic Difficulty” somewhere in the film’s description, and that will suffice.
Just a few other little tidbits of information for you to keep in mind:
1) You must have an Xbox Live Gold subscription.
2) You must have your XBL gamertag linked to your Bungie.net profile.
3) The mission must be completed while you are online. Make sure you can view it in your Game History.
4) Only one submission is allowed per person.
5) You must submit your entry during the 7 day contest time period.
This contest begins at 12:00AM Pacific Time on Friday, June 12th and lasts for 7 days. This gives you all day Friday, an entire weekend, plus four additional week days to complete the mission. The winner will be notified the following weekend.
However, this time around, you shouldn’t need the full seven days. I’ve provided you with a few tools to help boost your stamina and get you on your Mythic feet. Aside from the
HBO Mythic Floodgate guide and our massive
Mythic Difficulty thread, I’ve recently started posting more up-to-date 2.0 guides to go along with the originals. This week we have the 2.0 run for
Floodgate fully rendered and ready to be viewed. Keep in mind that we’re not judging you for time or score, so if you’d rather hang back and shoot your way through, that’s perfectly fine as well. Just worry about getting to the finish line. That by itself is an accomplishment you should be proud to have under your belt. And to show our appreciation for your efforts, even those of you who don’t take home the armor will walk away with a
shiny new medal for your
Halocharts page. Each mission has it’s own separate achievement designed by the talented HC Redemption himself, and there’s even a special (and rare) medal to be earned once you have all nine challenges conquered. Win or lose, you will not walk away empty handed.
Godspeed, fellow campaigners!"
