What happens in Sandtrap...


...stays in Sandtrap.  Forever.

HBO tells us that Hawty McBloggy told them about this pretty hilarious video.  Seems Sandtrap has a might hunger.  Mmm...that's good Geomerging.  Check it out.

When Sandtrap Attacks!

Concluded.


Over at HBO, Leviathan concludes his comic series with a hefty spate of simultaneous entries.  The Arbiter and the Brute Chieftain finish their fight.  The war in the skies rages on.  Hit the jump to see the end of this particular war.

A Sangheili's War Is Never Over - The Conclusion

Best of the best.

Tommy, no!

Last week we looked at a collection culled from our Landscape contest. This week we're going back even further to get a good look at the crop submitted for the Haloscreenshots.com "Best of the Best" Recon competition.  We'd like to stress again that these are not the winners, so there's no need for you to harass these players or tag their work with derogatory stuff.  In fact, that's probably a really good rule to follow all the time.  Play nice.

Chastisement out of the way, go ahead and get yourself a good look.

Pull Up a Chair

That last one makes me hungreeeee.  If you've laid eyes on this visual feast and for some reason you've still not gotten you fill of the screenshots that can be found categorized under the HSSBOB tag, there's no need to freak out.  Just fire up the All Tags tool and pluck out whatever screenshots you happen to fancy.

So, we'd like to tell you about these rules.


Tyrant's back with more ways for you to win Recon.  Read the description, read the rules, and click the links.  Once you've got a good grasp of everything, read the rules again.

Summer Mythic Recon Challenge (Rules & FAQ): READ BEFORE SUBMITTING!!!

We've started you out small. If you were to look at this competition like going head to head with the baddies in ODST's "Firefight Mode", consider it like this. First, we tossed a few Grunts in your direction. No big deal, right? Then we through some Jackals in there for good measure. For this next challenge, now we're throwing Brutes into the mix. That's right. Things are starting to finally heat up in the SMRC. You're done with the Flood for now. But don't worry. In case you miss tangoing with the rhyming parasites, you'll be seeing them again in the not-so-distant future. Starting tonight at midnight, you'll now be learning a whole new set of tactics as you battle your way against Covenant forces in The Storm on Mythic Difficulty (Legendary + all 13 skulls activated + FFA scoring switch on).

Though you'll be traversing through this mission on your own again, the Arbiter will swoop in to save the day. As demonstrated in the HBO Mythic Walkthrough and also the Mythic 2.0 Guide, you can equip the Arbiter with the Rocket Launcher and basically have him sweep nearly the entire second half of the mission clean for you. It's getting to that point where the real challenge lies.

"Were it so easy."

A friendly warning. There will be times here where you'll start to think your Marines are really working for the Covenant. But fear not, for even when your allies start to lead you astray, take a look at the guides as well as The Storm videos in my file share to help guide you towards the light at the end of a seemly dismal tunnel. And of course, if you have questions that aren't covered in THE RULES, feel free to ask away in the SMRC discussion thread established by Urk, or you can ask all Mythic related questions here in the Official Mythic Difficulty Guide thread located in the Halo 3 forum. Remember to PM me (Tyrant122312) with your results between midnight tonight and next Thursday even to gain a chance to enter the latest 7-day SMRC raffle for Recon.

Thanks to all, and happy campaigning!
