Seriously, blackeye doesn’t add a challenge to the gamemode, all it does is scare people into not using their reqs for fear of insta-death. Ever wonder why there’s only like 1 or 2 Mythic Firefight wins a weekend? Blame Blackeye. The normal payout sucks and honestly I’d rather play Heroic Firefight, at least I get a chance to use my Reqs there, all I’m saying is Blackeye doesn’t make the mode challenge, it makes it -Yoinking!- impossible!
Well isn’t the point of being mythic for it to be nearly impossible?

There’s a difference between a fair challenge and absolute BS, and the blackeye skull is the later of the two, first off how are we supposed to melee our shields back when most if not all enemies can one-shot us? Second, how are even supposed to be able to get close enough to melee an enemy with 500 crawlers running arond?! This is not a fair challenge, it’s absolute BS, as again it discourages people from using Reqs and by extension, purchasing Req packs.
Black Eye becomes near-useless after Round 3 or so since you’re expected to be in a vehicle.
Also, Overshields.
If I’m gonna blame anything, I’m blaming Thunderbolt and Mythic, or the design of Mythic Firefight itself, since these things make everything survive direct tank shots.

Well I mean I’d agree with you on the vehicles, if blackeye didn’t affect them as well.

Again it’s supposed to be near impossible to win and if it’s that frustrating just simply don’t play it.
The object of mythic is to get you to use your reqs so you have to buy more reqs. This game penalizes you in most playlists by going solo. Having a buddy nearby to take some heat only helps so much but it’s better than nothing when blackeye is on. I don’t play mythic unless I have a full fire team.

No, it’s supposed to be hard, I’ve played through every mythic campaign in Halo and it’s nowhere near as poorly designed as WZFF mythic! Blackeye does not make it challenge it makes it -Yoink-!

Another name for calling it LASO (Legendary All Skulls On)
There’s a reason why 343 says in the message of the day: “We dont expect you to survive”.
Mythic is hard, and should stay that way, despite of how WZFF is designed.
Black eye serves it’s porpuse of making the game hard, just as the other skulls. If your teammates are afraid of using their reqs, thats not the game’s fault, you just found bad teammates. I have sacrificed many Hannibal Wasp, ONI Tanks, and Phaetons Elios just trying to beat some of this Mythic challenges, and most of those attempts eneded up in failing.
But, I always come back for more every time the playlist is available, because thats kinda the point, see if you and your teammates are brave enough to beat the playlist. I have only won 2 or 3 times, because my teammates knew how and when to use their reqs.
IDK if we are going to have the Mythic FF playlist again, since “warlords” is coming next weekend, so next time it shows up, be sure to have a good team, or else, you will probably fail in every attempt going lone wolf.

I think blackeye should be excluded from the following round, to make it at least fair:
- Any and All vehicle boss rounds, especially the Grunt Goblin
- Any Defend the blank or protect the blank rounds as it is almost impossible to keep a position long enough to keep the Ai from insta-killing the objective
-Final Round, needs no explanation, the Warden is already BS enough we don’t need to add to it. Mythic bosses also don’t need the handicap.
