Umm...you lost me. Zero deaths is just what it is. Zero.

If you mean "can you restart the level if you die withough going out to the menu" then yes. All it has to be is from beginning to end with no deaths. You can still have runs where you die in the film but thanks to the Iron skull or the restart level option, you start at the beginning with a clean slate.

There are several posts in this thread that deal with this question. Try the FAQ on the quest for slaso group homepage if you're still unsure what I meant. I suck at explaining things.

Except this one:

No, you have to complete each mission in the allocated week.

Zero deaths means zero deaths, if you die you will start over because of the Iron skull so there's no need to quit but your film will be pretty damn long if you die 10 times in the end. So if you die, you can quit and start over the mission to make your film shorter.

What you can't do is to save and quit when you die and then start again from the last checkpoint.

this is true but sometimes the consequence isnt worth the action... and im also tired of people that sit on the forums all day talking about the game instead of playing it and giving smart-alec answers to people with legitimate questions about the game.

You asked a question and he answered it. What more do you want?

Rule 6

6) If you have ever been XP banned, file share banned, or have received ANY sort of in-game ban from Bungie, you are not elligible.

Hello, Community!

Hopefully if you're reading this, it's because you're interesting in kicking your campaign experience up a notch by cranking up the Legendary with all skulls activated :-) Need advice? A guide? Maybe even a friendly community to cheer you on and help guide you through the process? Then give our Mythic thread a read, and Godspeed on your Mythic journey!

Best Regards,
The Tyrant

They're getting smart about it because this is not the correct thread to be asking about Recon and generic bans. This is a thread about Mythic Difficulty.

In the future, if you have questions regarding your personal account status, I would suggest PMing a Bungie Employee or the site administrator. Additionally, from what I have read, minor bans do not exclude you from achieving Recon via the vidmasters.

The discussion of generic bans and Recon ends here.

I can get to the motor pool every time now. Problem is that the carbine brutes always kill me. Does anyone have any tips to deal with them? Every time I try to PP them, they dodge and put one through my skull.

You have to pop-shoot them. Check out the tips & tricks section of the HBO 2.0 walkthrough. It explains it in greater detail.

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

Honestly...

This isn't even the right thread, but I suppose they've practically become interchangable now...

GT: The Depleted

Beat Sierra on my 13th attempt! 7/9! I only managed to get to the dam on 2 of those 13, and died the first time through a highly unlikely set of circumstances involving a hiding Carbine Brute! It did however teach me to make a mental count of the enemy numbers and tick them off as I kill them. Then luckily on my successful attempt the Chieftain decided to throw himself off the dam in an attempt to kill the Arbiter, making my job easier no doubt!

This competition has really made me appreciate and enjoy the campaign again, and I'm determined to beat Mythic now! Time to practice the final two.

Gratz! Which method did you use? Or did you cook up your own?

First try and I got almost through... Well, I didn't read the tutorial (just watched Tyrant's 2.0 video), so I don't know what it's called, but it's the second big fight area with lots of carbine jackals. I got sloppy and let a brute with a spiker kill me, but I'll work on that later.

What do you guys think is the most difficult part of Sierra 117? From what I'm reading it sounds like the dam, but I'm just curious.

Personally, I find the dam easy. I got most my deaths either pre-dam or the second fight. But thats me. I kamikazed the second fight, but that made my survival rate much lower, so I ended up clearing it out normally.
