I haven't been doing my others first time, mostly because I would be screwing around due to having a week to try out some other methods. :-P
It's a fun challenge though and it makes me laugh at how bad I was a few months ago.

I'm a great guy really.

Enjoying Tsavo much more my type of mission. Got the chopper and was about to head up the hill onto the bridge to go past the first brute blockade but died by another chopper. Was under 4 minutes so on pretty good times, trying to break 5 minutes which seems easily possible. Hopefully when Sierra's done The Covenant is more this style, should be and hopefully I should enjoy it more. Crow's nest may be the only one to annoy me yet to come, not counting the length of The Ark.

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

How often does killing a Scarab NOT recharge shields because it didn't for me. That made the second half of "The Storm" quite a bit harder for me, though I did manage to finish (and get my shields back from the hammer Chieftain no less.)

Anyone else have this happen to them? I did use the 1.0 turret bombardment method to kill the Scarab btw,


For some reason my shields don't seem to recharge after killing a Scarab either; they did during The |Covenant but that's the only time I've noticed it. Then again, on The Storm I'm usually already at full shields by the time I kill the Scarab.
I do know that melee attacking the core will get your shields back, otherwise I'm not sure how it works.


Perhaps you are standing to close to it when it blows up? Your shields might get damaged from the explosion.



Heh I was no where near the Scarab. I was way back in the room you're supposed to hide in. I took the 'safe' route.

That's the great thing about Tsavo Highway, if you're a speed freak you can rush through it easily, otherwise you can stage some epic battles and leave a swathe of destruction behind you. It's one of the more "sandbox" style missions which makes it good. :-)
As for The Ark... Yeah it's long, but it doesn't seem long when you're playing because you know it's the last mission (assuming you save it until last) and that slip ups are going to be frustrating so you get a full focus on staying alive and not making mistakes. Hell, you can even improvise pretty well if you need to when you're under that sort of pressure. Also I'd say about 50% of the mission is in a tank which means there are lots of explosions which is good. :-D

Wow indeed. That was a nice run. Now off to do Tsavo Highway, again. I don't have the patience to snipe all the jackals at the first part, the beam rifle is too wierd of a weapon.

The Beam Rifle is fine, the kickback just takes a lot of getting used to. But, it's much easier to take the Troop Warthog at the start and load it up with Beam Rifle wielding marines as you progress. They're only slightly worse than the Jackals and tend to shoot whatever you're looking at.

Only took me two tries. 24 minutes for the complete one, 2 for the failed attempt. Not bad =)

Are you saying that you can stream videos on Fileshare? That is the Render-to-Video Beta for those who have Bungie Pro. I think it's going tomorrow or something.

Nice work. It feels good to be able to trust the marines after all the betrayals in the Storm doesn't it? Don't get used to it though, they'll be grenade spamming menaces again next time you meet...

It can be beaten. I noticed at least one moment were the player lost a split second or so from almost fumbling a jump (bounced off a ledge when jumping up). The box launch at the end could also be improved; for example when he landed he seemed to lose control a little. If that was expected and compensated for it could possibly save up to 3 seconds. It's hardly noticable, but it can be polished some more.
Still awesome though.

I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

Tsavo Highway is the most random thing ever.

I got to the end of the level in about 6 minutes, destroyed the turret and killed the captain, I was hoping it would do the scene as others have said but it didn't. All I got was a brute shot in the back.

"Were it so easy."
Did you use a Wraith at all? That seems to not trigger the cutscene. Also never expect the easy ride in Mythic. Say there's a Brute between you and the end. Just one, and you could skip him but could possibly die. Don't take the chance, kill the sucker then end the mission.

I went in on foot. I just jumped by the wraiths with grenade jumps under the bridge. I beat down a few Brutes at the watch tower then died at the end after both the Captain and Turret were finished off.

Not my attitude in the slightest, and probably the reason I may be the person who's taken longest to do mythic and is still trying :P.

Not sure then. All I know is that taking chances is exactly that, personally I prefer to know that if I've died it was from a mistake I made and not something random such as the game ending for moving forward when we aren't sure how such a thing works yet. Either way there are lessons to be learned if you look deep enough.
