The noise those grunts make when killed don't do any harm. It's just when one sees you, they often telepathically warn eachother and wake up.
I finally made it through Sierra 117. Took me over 1 and a half hour. Gun over Run.
You should definately skip the first battle. This will make it less of a burden to redo the mission up until the crashed pelican area. You save about 15 minutes.
Always leave a shield jackal alive to recharge your shields, 2d fight, 3d fight, pelican fight, dam.
I found the 1.0 stockpile method the best aproach to the dam. Collect Beam Rifles in the forest and take them to the alley before the cutscene ledge. Take out the Jackals in order: Right building, skull ledge across river, plasma grenade building below you, relocate to behind the rock on the right to kill the one on top of the low building across the river. I used the Sniper for these, switched to Beam Rifle for the Brutes after taking out the Grunts.
On a side note: Why are so many people so hyped about getting Recon? I hear about people's accounts getting stolen for this even. It's crazy what happens for digital stuff (= not real)
Sure you'll be happy you got Recon for a while but, in the end it's still just ingame content. Nothing you can take with you. And where do you show it? In multiplayer. Making me wish I was a Gunnery sergeant because I have so much trouble winning being a Colonel. And then you get laughed at, look at this guy, he's just a Colonel. And if you got Recon you better bet your life they are going to try and crack the code on your Xbox Live account.
I haven't got Recon but the multiplayer just isn't fun for me anymore, so what's the reason I would want Recon, none I just want to be a Conqueror and have a Halo Medal to show it.
Maybe it's because so few people complete the newly found Mythic difficulty that the highest emblem shown on your service tag is legendary. (Yes most probably)
The way I see it, Im sorry to say, is that the people who did Mythic aren't getting the respect they deserve just because Halo 3 doesn't show Mythic, it shows legendary... the skulls only to those who take the time to look in the fileshare closely. So, let's all ask for a new emblem!
I'd laugh out loud if the new vidmaster achievements would really unlock Recon and they would require you to do SLASO for it. That would be better for everyone.
Sorry for this small wall of text. Furthermore I would like to say I don't mean any disrespect to anyone, so please take no offence.
I hope the amount of Conquerors will double soon, I estimate about 30 people have stayed so far, most of them being new to Mythic (don't think many old conquerors are redoing the challenges. Correct Tyrant?
Best of luck to everyone!
Let's become a real "Badass" the way Johnson puts it.
