Three. Yeah, that's how many red lights I see on my Xbox. I get home after being away for 2 days and here's my welcome back present. There goes my only chance of getting Recon before ODST gets released not to mention that I won't be seeing any Halo for a loong time. Like I haven't had enough bad luck this year.

Don;t lose hope, I had E74 just last week, send your box in now and you may get it back in time for cortana, I had mine back first day of The Covenant, and it broke one weeek before.
Hurry spartan, you have no time to waste.

Last time it took them one month and 2 weeks to return my piece of junk only for it to break down again now.

Well you could buy a new xbox, though if you still have a warranty I don't suggest it.

I did that when my 360 failed over Christmas break. I was struggling with Cortana at the time and wasn't going to wait nearly a month to get back to it. My warranty had already expired though. :-\

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

Explain to me if I should be angry at myself or not.

I just got the the Scarab battle on The Covanent, my first time getting there on Mythic. I was doing great. I had full shields, no damage to my tank and was punped to finnally take out some much needed agression on the two scarabs. I start to set things up like in Tyrant's walkthrough, moving the hornet first. Instead of asking the marine to get out, I instead climb on the side of the hornet. Realizing this is worse then the side seat of a warthog, I try to jump off as quickly as possible, which I thought could be done from any height. Apparently I was a foot too high off the ground, and promptly died mid-fall. I don't know whether to be angry, upset, annoyed, laughing, or a little of everything. I was running a pretty good tour, only to die in the most humiliating way. I know I could have been on the last stretch only to be killed by an infection form, but damn this is just ridiculous.

Attempting again in a bit but I dunno how you guys do this so fast. Took me a good hour and a half just to get there.

I say do the slow and steady on the scarabs ramen, it is much less risky, and silly mistakes such as taht will not occur. Just sit back and put some tank shells into thos scarabs, and verything around them, and once everything is dead (and I mean everything), proceed to the scarab (there should be one left), hop on and blow'er up.

Don't get your hopes too high, RROD once may occur again. But for now, enjoy it!

A bit of both. I don't like full kamikaze, too dangerous. The chances of beating a mission are very low.

Way to make me worried again.

I did get RRoD before and my Xbox survived it again, that was when power cut us off. Same thing may have happened again.

Anyway, it looks like I've got a helping hand, let's hope it will last so I can finish the challenges.

Nice work! :-)
I might check out 2.5 just fort he sake of it. I'm useless at kamikaze runs normally, but if there's any structure involved and not as much luck I may try it.
Either way, every practice I've done so far would have shamed my old run if I could stop getting betrayed...
Also, has anyone ever tried to just Rambo the Scarabs in the tank? It doesn't work often but it's fun as hell to do.

The two main areas of "luck" come from the Tower One entry and the Tower Three exit (and possibly the Chieftain as well). Usually if I die, that's where it happens.

Mythic Conquer # 23 baby
I've beaten ODST and Halo 3 on Mythic.

I got to the Pelican on Crows Nest and got to the top, but Arbiter died and I was having to do sweep control on the bottom enemies while waiting on wave 2 to show up. When I finally got wave 2 to come I had to rush out and only could kill 3 of them. With this done there were only a couple of enemies on the ground level but one had a Carbine and one with a Bruteshot I got smacked everytime I went out to kill some one. Needless to say the splash damage from the Bruteshot killed me.

Any tips? The Arbiter did have the Plasma Cannon also.
