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

Sarkathlon 4 ends at Sunday, November 8th at Midnight! Save a full replay of your run and put it on your Bungie.net file share. Then, email mrsark@g4tv.com with a link to your replay to enter the contest!
Before you get started, however, hit the break for an extended interview with Mr Sark for a behind-the-scenes look at Sarkathlon 4 and some tips to help you shave valuable seconds off of your time.

o...m...g bungie has finally given in and the flaming head is finally available. lets hope this sarkathon isnt as brutal as 2 or 3
z26mb4027
i just downloaded the game type. I'm gonna go out on a limb and ask that the 8 grenades that are lined up right near the spawn don't count? did i download the wrong one?
lookatthisguy
Not that stealth is a big part of Halo, but wouldn't a flaming head make it *easier* to be spotted by enemies??
HYDRACORE

networksony

InHumanMarine
I love Halo, but that seems pretty weak. But hey if you get it you get it.
OmegaSpartan08
pass. i'm not doing another "do crazy lucky random thing" to win anything exclusive for a while. not worth it... well not completely worthless anyways, there are always bragging rights!
Mandal
ZOMG
I know what I'll be doing for the next week and a half...
kevamaral11688
umm.... im hoping this is the right map type. waaaay too easy. i dont htink i can do this any faster

I thought flaming armor meant like, decals, art, etc. Instead, your head is on fire? Seriously? You're adding a fire animation on a head? Thanks for the effort Bungie.
morse_clint
ok... 18 seconds, seems way to easy. whats goin on?

someone should rally explain this challenge a little better.... you spawn by all the grenades, why is that so hard?

I hate to say this but ICP PLAYED THIS GAME AND MICROSOFT PROMOTED IT SCREW IT THE WORLD IS GOING TO END NOW!!!!!!!!!
Plasma_Cake
lol the video bar thing almost leaves the video box lamo
CrazyTiger6
yea so is the 8 grenades you start near the ones u need to get?
if so then this is gonna be fun
i already got 15 seconds on the thing >.>
ill try for faster since i stumbled
but if its not then i dont know wut to do
ive searched the entire map top to bottom and i only found frags and plasmas
no spikes or fire bombs :/
Bleugh07
seems like man cannons are the order of the day for this challenge ... i'm thinking a sort of automatic railway that flies past each grenade
TCB_Waffles
Hey, are we allowed to submit a time, then submit a better time later?
