I'm a great guy really.

It'll be a few years before you get to the ark Matt :)

L, I finished Halo last night btw.

Well done Harty boy, but I bet it was inferior to my amazing run :P

Tried to do it as a speedrun to make it more interesting and came out with a time of 14:33 but cannot load my stats to send it right now so just waiting until I can. Also gone back to failing Sierra... Johnson staying in the crashed pelican area made all the enemies be in the wrong places, and made me die.

Congratulations on the Halo run.

That happened to me on S117 aswell. Made it easier though because all the enemies were concentrated on killing Johnson. Which made that area effortless for me. Only to die at the dam.

Second time for me, the time before it made a brute be over at the crashed pelican so I get brute shotted in the back, it makes it harder more than anything. Also what's the Halo record?

I completed Halo on Mythic difficulty today and uploaded the film to my file share. However, I'm not able to get to my file share on Bungie.net. Which means that I can't submit my entry to the Summer Mythic Recon Challenge for this week. What should I do?

Why cant you submit it this week? Also if you really cant, have someone you trust (Friend) outside of Xbox Live do it for you!

Just wait until the site's working again. Halo runs can be submitted until Friday so you should be fine.

As its only Sunday, I doubt the website will be down untill Friday. Just wait untill its back up then send the game and film to Tyrant.

I'll change my question. When do we need to complete the level by for each week? and When do we need to submit the entry by for each week?

edit: Thanks for answering my question DarkDEVASTAT10N and Toadman1911

I think it's the same for all of us, can't get to any of the stats, file shares or anything related to the gamertag.. Can you not do it tomorrow? If B.net is back up and running as usual.

Well, I would like to put a signature here, but I can't think of anything interesting and creative...?

I've failed miserably at Halo multiple times, and on stupid reasons.

- Warthog doesn't make a jump because a flying tile hits me in mid-air.
- Sentinel snipes me from 100 ft away and kills me instantly right when I'm almost at the warthog
- ONE flood baby form hits me and kills me after my shields are critical
- falling off the cliff climbing the tower
- failing at doing the gravity hammer jump and falling to my death or being shot

Basically I've almost thrown my controller at the TV more than a dozen times.

And the chances of me being picked for Recon in the raffle are extremely low anyways, I don't know if I have the will to try again...

I wish they would have a Machinima Recon Contest, give us a theme, and whoever has the best overall Machinima wins Recon! Including the actors! That would be fun.

I received my Halo 3 Recon armor on 8-3-09 for completing Sierra 117 on Mythic Difficulty through the Summer Mythic Recon Challenge.

- failing at doing the gravity hammer jump and falling to my death or being shot


I've got the jump down, but I can barely get to d oit because I get jumped by Tanks, Pure Forms, and any other straglers I would normally have to kill. It seems I can't get it down quick enough to avoid more Flood spawning on top of me.

Also, in the SLASO walkthrough on HBO, after doing the Hammer/plasma jump, his shields don't seem to be critical? The one time I actually got to the ledge I had critical shields and died a little later from random stray fire. Suggestions?

Having no shield doesn't really matter, just try to stay out of the line of fire. I actually had to slow down when I did the hammer jump as I was getting there so fast Johnson wouldn't move round to the ledge and stay at the far door. All you need to do is hide and if you feel like it pop out with BR/Rockets and shoot the odd flood to speed it up once you get to the ledge.

You reckon I should do tsavo highway or the storm, Jimmy boy?

Like I said, cortana scares me, even on normal. :S

I'd say Cortana, if not because people seem to think it'll be really hard even though it isn't like you :P then the storm. Gets you ready for some close and some long distance vehicle covenant fighting. Hard to get used to but the second half of the mission is so easy.

EDIT: I'll talk you through a film during the week shall I?

I recently submitted my film for completing Halo on Mythic but did not receive an auto reply like I did for floodgate, is this normal or did my pm not go though?

I don't think it's instant, just leave it and don't worry.

Umm sure. ThenI'll show you how to defeat the sierra 117 dam piece of cake.

About me: I am a vicious wolf of a man.

But really am sweet at heart. =)

I cannot do this weeks challenge. Its just not possible.

The Flood keep jumping over the outcropping I hide behind, I never hear them comming. That is not addressed in the walkthrough

And at the part where your supposed to jump to the spine of the tower with the plasma nades and hammer, I can't recharge my shields, No stalker spawns for me to melee.

It spawns at the second wave, so I have to wait for the tank form to spawn. And as soon as I melee I'm back to half shield and cannot jump

You can actually hammer jump instead of grenade jumping the first jump if you can nail it properly. Also you can just do the grenade jump, run up the tower and go to the door to the control room. From here you can jump onto the top of the door from the sides of the door (you'll see what I mean) and get up to the ledge from there.

I find it's easier to hammer jump both of the jumps. Saves losing shields and it has a much higher success rate.

So it's just a random raffle out of all eligible players to see who wins?

It's like the lottery and the jackpot is Recon basically?

Those are some pretty slim odds of winning... lol

I can't do it because my xbox is not working right. :(
When playing Halo 3, it "overheats" after 10 minutes, but it's fine for hours on any other game...
