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

I'm having some trouble with the Storm. I can barely get one marine, aside form the warthog, to the first lakebed. They seem to always get multi-stuck the instant they move through the first room. I try to take out as many grunts as I can before they move through, but Tyrant's walkthrough makes it seem like they're invincible compared to mine.
And even if I get to the Scarab, it somehow always decides to take out the two missle-pods first, leaving me with very limited ammo and a whole lotta pain to dish out. I have yet to get past it. I dunno what keeps happening to my marines, but they barely pull off killing the two wraiths without my help.
Same thing was happening to me when I first started The Storm. My marines always died leaving me to take on the covenant by myself. But, if you can get to the first lakebed with just the marines in the warthog they should be able to distract the main covenant force long enough for you to hijack the wraith. But remember to park the warthog exactly where the walkthrough says. It makes your life a whole lot easier.
As for the scarab, try to board it. The missile pods seem lilke their the safest but they're not, too many factors come into play when you use them. i.e. marines with rockets, AA gun, more chances to make mistakes. Go get the sniper and try to headshot some of the grunts on board it, then wait until it looks pretty clear of enemies. To board I recommend the right crane. The scarab doesn't move as when you jump off the right one.
Lastly, given time the marines will take out the AA wraiths. I haven't had a time when I actually had to step in.
After that, it's fairly easy till the end of the mission. Just let Arbiter do most of the work.
Check this film to see how I did it.
I can almost always get the wraith, but a few times now the covie's completely wipeout my marines, then come after me before I have a chance to deal with the ghosts and either they kill me, or I get distracted and the second phantom kills me. It always seems like the stupidest thing that kills me.
I tried boarding the Scarab on one run, only to be instantly smashed by a falling, dead Hornet. I swear.
