I was running through Assault on the Control Room on Heroic once, and I came to the cliff above the Marines with the Scorpion tank. I was blasting the hell out of the Covenant troops by tree and rocks to the left when I started getting shot from the group on the right. An Elite plastered the side of the tank with a plasma grenade, so naturally I bailed.
I didn't quite make it out on time and it fully dropped my shield. I was down to three health blips, with no shield, and I was suddenly being charged by Grunts from the back side of the Scorpion. I ran around front to the right side and towards the cliff. All the while I was firing my assault rifle, trying to at least look like I was holding my own.
To my right there was still an Elite left (and my shield is still blinking because, if you didn't know, running while trying to have it recharge makes it take longer), and he was coming at me. Just as he was about to melee me a sniper from the ravine down below picked him off (as I said, I was by the cliff-edge). It gave me just enough time to recharge, jump back into the tank, and mow down my Grunty friends that were left.
