Ok. Three times back to back, I made it to the Scarab. Things just seem to go wrong for me. Firstly, my *insert expletives here* marines kept manning the missile pods. This caused the Scarab to not spin around helplessly like I planned. Instead, it kept shooting at the marines, who as soon as I kicked off the pod, instantly jumped back on. Anyone else have trouble with this, and if so, is there a way to "convince" the marines to leave this to me? At this point, I may as well rush the Scarab, since I've nailed the first half of the level. I can't stomach more then one try per sitting since I always get to the Scarab now.
In other news, all three times I've run to where I left the warthog, after killing the AA wraith, the next room is always empty. I do give it a minute or two, so its only use is if you don't want to chance getting grenade spammed. I can guarantee one level I won't be playing for a long time after beating it. :(
Ah, marines on missile pods. I feel your pain, they're like kids in a candy store who see the biggest bar of chocolate. In this case however the bar of chocolate is the big gun (missile pod). Personally I just let them man the pods when I'm not using them and they seem to disappear every now and again (I think the Scarab kills 'em). And remember to use the missile pod on your left, for some reason the marines are less attached to that particular pod than the one on the right. Good Luck.
And its a shame you dislike The Storm so much, it's been my favourite Mythic mission to date. Beats the crap out of doing Cortana in excess of 30 attempts.
