Sarkathlon 4, Flaming Head for First Prize!

[Black Theorem]

Mr Sark's Halo 3 Sarkathlon 4 - Do You Want The Bungie Exclusive Flaming Armor?

X-Play's Mr Sark has a history of dropping some amazing Halo 3 prizes on the winner of the Sarkathlon, a contest storied in legend and history, appearing only a few times to the chosen few... or whenever new Halo 3 multiplayer maps are available.
Previously, Mr Sark has bestowed the coveted Recon armor on winners, but with the release of Halo 3: ODST, that isn't so special anymore, right? You're absolutely correct. That's why Mr Sark and Bungie are going to be giving the winner of Sarkathlon 4...

Bungie Exclusive Flaming Armor!

To compete, you'll need to acquire a copy of Halo 3: ODST because this content takes place on the map Longshore. Once you have ODST loaded up, you'll need to download the map and gametype for Sarkathlon 4 from Mr Sark's Bungie.net file share. After that, load it up, find all 8 grenades, and cross the finish line faster than anyone else. Simple, right?

Tylyr, plz don't compete :P


Just a note:

There has been a problem with the map variant in Mr Sark's fileshare. If your (the one you downloaded) version of the Sarkathlon map has a pile of nades out in the open, then you have downloaded the promotional version used in the video. Mr Sark has acknowledged the issue, and has fixed the map variant. Be sure to redownload the correct map variant and check to see if it's still the one with the nades piled up after reading this post.

I originally thought, "why, not. It won't hurt to try"

Then I downloaded the map... u-huh - I don't stand a chance!

Bungie is now giving away flaming armour? I really hope this doesn't become the next Recon.

I'll download the map and see what it's like. Although, these puzzles always frustrate me after a while so I'm probably not going to get serious about it.

I'm almost definitely sure that this must be done alone.

It's just one person with Flaming Head, nothing to go crazy about.

Anyone else got under 1:30? Oh, and I don't think tylyr1 has found the best route yet, but I'm sure he'll spend ages trying to find it.
