  • The Halo 4 Mythic Difficulty Walkthrough

    From MythicTyrant:

    Greetings, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Halo 4 Mythic Difficulty! This can also be classified as LASO (Legendary All Skulls On). As you know, my name is The Tyrant, and I have been championing this mode of hardness for five years. Quite a bit has happened since the last time I embarked on this incredible journey, so let’s do a bit of re-cap, shall we?

    The concept of “Mythic Difficulty” first originated with Halo 3. Since the Campaign was significantly easier than the previous installments, I felt it necessary to raise the bar a notch. So now, you have a “Mythic” mode which is just another way of saying “Single-Segment Legendary All Skulls On”. The Skulls, of course, are just a way of amplifying the difficulty of a Halo game.

    I’d like to take a moment to thank RC Master, AuraSoldier313, Sliding Ghost, Michael W Smith, Old & Achy and the Mythic Community for doing much of the pioneering for Halo 4 Mythic. These men culled the odds without walkthroughs or tips, and many of the tricks you are about to receive originated from them. Well done, my Mythic Brethren.

    Other shout outs go to Nak3d Eli, Greenskull, Goosechecka, Jessica Brohard, Jessica Shea, Bijou and Hannah Noble for further encouraging my Mythic antics. I tip my hat to you all for not just the aid you brought to mythictyrant.com, but also your great contributions to the Halo community as a whole. Keep up the fantastic work!

    And one final shout out goes to my amazing friend Lawnmower. Honor this man. For without his extremely generous aid, the guides I’m about to bring you wouldn’t exist. You are a staple in the Halo community, my friend, and you helped make Mythic Difficulty what it is today!

    Over the last few weeks, 343i has been releasing small updates about the weapon balance tuning and updates to the matchmaking playlists in the Halo bulletins. In this week’s bulletin, another interview was done by yet another visitor and we’ll undoubtedly have more in future bulletins. New Forge maps are slated to be added to matchmaking playlists soon with more information revealed on which maps specifically next week. Unfortunately, Halo 4 is approaching the end of it’s mainstream lifespan and the bulletins hold very little information in them. We’ll begin to branch out into other areas other than just the bulletin starting next week. Enjoy

    From Goosechecka:

    About three weeks ago, Kal and I were wandering the aisles of PAX East and wondering if it was possible to raise $1600 for a Grifball booth at RTX. Last night, the Grifball and greater Halo community silenced all doubts and as of 11:00PM EDT had donated $4,623.

    Not only is this a huge accomplishment for the Hub and greater Grifball community, but a major step forward for gaming communities. This is the first time a Halo fansite will have a professional presence at an official industry event (exception: Rooster Teeth – but technically they are a company, not a non-profit fan-run site when they started exhibiting). This project highlights the power of the community voice and the passion for community-created content.

    Thank you to everyone who made this project possible through donations, re-tweets, video and article sharing and shout-outs. You all are amazing and we are so grateful for your continued support.
