Sarkathalon 2 Has Arrived
G4's Mr Sark (ours too but I'm trying my best not to be possessive) has released his second Sarkathalon. If you didn't get a chance to play the first Sarkathalon now is as good as time as any to jump right in. Why? The prize this time around is your very own Recon. Read through this post as fast as you can - the competition only lasts until May 2nd.

G4 says:
Mr. Sark has a new challenge for all you Spartans: The Sarkathlon 2!
As an added bonus for this challenge, Mr. Sark has a special reward for the champion - a suit of Halo 3 Recon Armor!
The Sarkathlon 2 is second of Mr. Sark's epic Halo 3 challenges where players will have their skills and wits tested on one of the new Legendary Halo 3 maps. The contest offically begins this Thursday, April 17th and runs until May 2nd. The winner will be announced on Friday, May 2nd on the final night of X-Play's Summer Games Preview.

What's in store for our champion, you ask? Well, the winner will receive a set of the highly coveted Recon Armor, only available to those that the Bungie designers deem especially worthy. Any Spartan worth his weight knows what an honor this would be.

I bet Maluu will win this again. I saw him playing it last night and was like, "yea, he is gonna win this". I completed it in a bad time of 4:33(worse the Sark's time, lol). Those Fusion Coils are such a pain. >.<

Edit: Forgot to mention, that time above is without the nades. Once I know where the nades are, I'll post an updated time(probably going to be a lot longer then that due to that Fusion Coil part. GAH!).

All you have to do is get the nades and go to each territory

Well I got 4:09 but I still gotta shave off about 20seconds to beat Maluu's current best.

Including nades!? Without the hornets! There's no freaking way to do that in under 4:00 minutes!

EDIT: Okay, I saw the file. Wow, that is just...wow. I mean, for all that time that I spent on doi...wow.
