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

I haven't had much trouble with Crow's Nest so far, but I also have only tried it a few times. Still need to beat it though. And yeah, Sierra was MUCH harder than this is, at least so far.

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.


Whoops, my bad man. If it makes you feel better I was working on it all week and just barely finished it... Got to the Dam three times, rescued Johnson twice, and succeeded just once... It seemed like a lot of random things happened when I played that level.

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

Strangest thing happened last night in Crow's Nest...

I was doing pretty well for my second run of the night, and was stockpiling for the first Chieftain battle. I stopped for a second down where all the BR, AR, etc ammo is, in front of an apparently out-of-place Johnson, and I suddenly died. Nothing near me at all harmful, I just collapse dead. I went back and watched the film, and nothing. The only thing I see is Johnson standing in front of me, then he dissapears back to next to the bomb where he should be. Somehow, I think Johnson basically splattered me in his instantaneous trip between walls/universess/planes. I blame Stosh for wasting my half hour.

More attempts will ensue tonight...

Its a bit long but I can capture it later with a capture card and get it on YouTube or something. It is pretty odd and pissed me off for a while lol. Never had anything like that really happen to me, at least without explination. I've been splattered by random objects but never for no visable reason before >P

Two comments, first you don't need to stockpile, as long as you don't go out of the door into the room with the brutes (or at least not more than a step or two) you can go back to where the drones were and pick up the PPs there. Might save you some time. This is also good because it seems every time I make that trip the brutes forget about me and they're off-guard when I come back, making it easy to get a quick overcharged shot off at their feet. Secondly, it seems like every time I'm at that part Johnson walks down to where the weapons lockers are and yells at me to go to the barracks when I go to grab more PPs, but I've never seen him teleport back up to the bomb or anything like that.

Why not just use the old one since your gamertag is linked to it? I think that's the important part, that your gamertag is linked to the account.

So I was making good progress on my second or third attempt tonight, when I missed the jump to get on the pelican (it turned when I was in mid-air. -.-) and instantly got like 5 grenades thrown at me... If you're planning on using the 2.0 method for the jump-pack brute section make sure you practice that jump a couple times on easy or something beforehand.

There's a 2.0 method? I never really had a problem with the Jump Pack battle. His 1.0 method worked like a charm.

2.0 is in my file share. It makes that battle 10x easier. You'll love it. Trust me.

Has a winner for Sierra 117 been chosen?

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

It seems like the Jump Pack battle was the hump for me, once I got past that I beat the rest in one go. Thank god for the 2.0 method, though I did have a little trouble with that part anyway... First time I tried it I missed the Pelican Hop jump; Second time Arby didn't kill enough to trigger wave 2/3, and I died from brute shot splash damage while trying to take out some monkeys below the equipment room; but the third time my attempts worked a treat!

Can't wait for The Ark contest, and hopefully I can get my Conquerer's title while practicing over the next few days. Good luck everyone!

You can only enter the bonus raffle if you were a conqueror before June 12th (I think that's the date) OR if you COMPLETE all 9 of the challenges. So if you missed The Covenant competition, then you're ineligible for the bonus raffle. Sorry bud, but at least you've got the mission done and can still be a Conqueror!

  • 08.04.2009 5:19 PM PDT

Oh lol I thought it said August 14th,oh well i got two more chances at least.

It's the sad sad truth....

EDIT: Huh. Looking at other people's runs of Crow's Nest, I have a relatively fast time. Even faster than Tyrant. If I don't win this one, at least I'll have something to feel special about. LOL.

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.

Oh yeah. Congratulations go out to RamenN00dl3.


Dude what are you doing? If Ramen wanted everyone and their mother to know, he would have said something. Did you not get the hint that Tyrant gave you, aka not dropping any names? Think before you speak buddy.

It's such a disgrace that so many people would force their way into someone else's account just because they have a now-exclusive armor permutation. I mean, they can't wait another month or so they can unlock it with ODST? I don't have a clue why people operate in the way they do these days. Oh well, I'll still try to get mine early before the "flood" of Recon comes in.
