This is the third time you've asked this question in the wrong thread and twice in this one alone. Knock it off, and stay on topic please.

Does anyone know if Jackal snipers will shoot out of the water at the river bed part? Arbiter keeps knocking them into the river and I get a bit nervous when I try to the other parts and I don't want to go in the water? Any suggestions?


Nope. They cannot shoot through water. Once they fall in, they might as well be dead. I tested this one a few times at the river.


Yea I figured as much. I just through a few frags in that direction just in case. Once a brute fell in and brute shotted me while i was ranging so i thought the same would apply to the jackals. Thanks.

Wow really? What are you talking about? Bungie has nothing to do with this contest other than allowing it to take place. Get over your self kid.

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

Yes that's right, this week's contest will end Thursday night at 11:59 Pacific time.



Hey Tyrant,

I noticed that I have a few new medals on my Halocharts page that I've never seen before, all related to the mission "Halo." One is called Tyrant's Triad, another is for completing the mission with a few skulls on, and another seems to be for some "special objective" that I didn't know I did lol. Mind shedding a little light on those? They're pretty neat :)

Mythic Conqueror #22

More information regarding Mythic difficulty can be found at this thread

I think I'm set for Crow's Nest next week. Got it completed, now it will be just improving my time.
Unfortunately I won't be able to enter for the Ark, going out of town for the entire week. At first I thought I had the Friday to squeeze it in, but schedule change and now I'm leaving on that Thursday. Hopefully Sierra 117 and Crow's Nest will give me a shot at winning the raffle.
Unlikely, but I can hope.

Me and my ODST we are our own breed, forged from combat and bread from years of battle as ODST. So you can take your -blam!- ODST clan invites and shove 'em. Rookies don't run jack, we do.

Those medals are different campaign medals as you would have probably guessed. Halocharts has a lot of different challenges, mythic being just one of them. Best thing to do to figure out what they are, is to peruse your way through the site challenges. Hope that helps :)

Any winner for Sierra 117 yet? I'm anxious to start Crow's Nest lol. Idk I tried a run Ironless last night and it was a bit tough. I probably didn't play like I normally would on a real attempt though, I just wanted to see how each fight plays out. The jump-jet brutes were one of the tougher ones as I was poorly underprepared, as well as the drone encounter as I didn't have a brute-shot, just a PP and a BR ha. I think if I take my time though I'll be able to get through. The Ark on the other hand...

The competition isn't even over yet. People still have about 45 mins to complete, and submit S117. That, and the winner is usually picked in the middle of the next week. You may start Crow's Nest at 12:01 which, like I said, is in about 45 mins.

Woo Crow's Nest beaten. Thank god, I hate that mission. The Marines killed me more than the enemies.

Twenty-ninth Halo 3 Mythic Conqueror
Eleventh Halo 3: ODST Mythic Conqueror
Fifth Halo: Reach Mythic Conqueror

I thought that I could complete Sierra 117 in one night when I got back from my vacation, but I was too tired and jet lagged, I literally couldn't keep my eyes open. And we have yet to get the 2.0 walkthrough for that level. That would've really helped.

Welp, time to go through Crow's Nest demoralized knowing that I won't get into the Conquerer's draw.

  • 07.31.2009 11:02 AM PDT

When the dust settles, you will learn what true terror is.

Finished Sierra with about 4 hours to spare. *whew* Any chance we could get a headcount for that one? And for those still in the running for the Conquerers' draw?

Now you're just making me feel worse.

EDIT: Wow, Crow's Nest was tough, but not as tough at The Covenant.

Now we just to wait for Tyrant to post the details on how to submit this one.
