I was just running through E2C2 on easy to accumulate
some quick and easy XP and noticed that the enemies were a little
tougher than usual. E.g. some elites his time
required two needler blasts to kill. Also I typically have
to drag out that last kill a minute or so in order to make it last 8:20 so I can get the full XP value of the run. Now it took around 11 minutes to finish. Also the Grunt Birthday Party skull seemed to be active.
I’m wondering were there some changes this week to the Special Ops
missions or if my console is doing something weird.
Anyone else notice the Special Ops running a little differently?
Skulls were added.
Mythic would account for the needler. Grunt birthday party is also active, along with IWHBYD.
Yeah Mythic doubles the health of enemies making them damn annoying to kill.
You can keep up on the latest Halo news by reading the weekly Halo Bulletin updates.
I didn’t know that these updates affected custom Spartan Ops games. Kinda sucks for people who are wanting to boost their Enemy Commendation progress.

We’ll be kicking off a full rerun of episodes 1-10 with ‘Grunt Birthday Party,’ ‘I Would Have Been Your Daddy,’ and ‘Mythic’ Skulls enabled in a soonish-like time frame. While the first two Skulls do not affect gameplay, the latter one increases the health of your enemies.

I don’t mind. I like it. Makes the commendations like hunter and Elite officer worth it, as they are so easy to kill.
It makes it abit more challenging on legendary, until you run into Elite Warriors with Fuel Rods…then it’s frustrating.

that actually sounds pretty normal for legendary to me.
I really hate that they added skulls. Before, I would’ve liked to have it; but then I assumed we’d be able to select skulls ourselves just like in Campaign. Instead, 343i chooses them for us. Not what I had in mind…
The next 10 weeks are going to suck, unless 343i decides to cancel this experiment early; and I would strongly encourage them to do so.
Knights become horrifying with mythic on
