Now back on topic, how do most of you handle the turn after the river section on Sierra 117? I don't mean the sniper forest, but the 90 degree turn that you have to make where you take out the single jackal sniper and the small battalion of Covenant just before the sniper forest. That is the only place on the mission where I die; everywhere else is just dandy.
There are 2 easy ways of dealing with that sniper & co that I know of. The first would be to just not spawn him, but not everyone seems to be able to do this so by all means try it, but don't expect it to work without a lot of practice.
The other way is one that Vincent submitted many pages ago, basically after you killed everything else you went intot he river and climbed onto a rock near the area I jump on to skip the section, and from the rock you could see the Jackal Sniper whilest he was (briefly) unaware of your presence. As long as you nail him within the first couple of shots you should be free to mop up some Grunts from the same position before going back to the previously Brute held slab of concrete (you go back because the Brute starts shootin you and there's no room to dodge on the rock). From there it should be easy between you and the Arbiter to kill the Brute Captain and any surviving Grunts.
