introductions


Hello! Today I played a Team Slayey game on Narrows and near the end it
just turned into a big man cannon fight with the other team constantly
jumping to our side. At one point I threw a sticky grenade in the cannon
and it stuck a guy right in the face at the top of his jump. Another time
my friend KingThor23 managed to no scope a guy in the head while riding on
the back of a mongoose. it was amazing!

Me and chuckie were playing team slayer on narrows and were waiting for
people to go in the man cannons and then threw stickies in the mancannons
and were sticking them it was awsome he even got a kill from the grave.

oh and foo tell them how to make your symbol the podtacular logo
REP-RUH-ZENT-IN!!!

I was playing King of the Hill on The Pit on Lone wolves, and I was in
second place with around 10 seconds left until 100 while the guy in first
had around 5 seconds until 100. Well I had just spawned in the sword area and the hill was on the right side of the map (kinda where the rockets
are), and two of my opponents were already in the hill, while the player
in the lead and the other guy were headed towards it. Well I jumped of
the little bridge thing that was between the sword room and the active
camo area, and picked up a sniper that one of my opponents droped. The two
guys in the hill were fighting so I waited until one of them finished the
other one off. I then put a sweet little sniper bullet into the side of
the head of the survivor of the two. As soon as I finished that guy off I
turned around and my other two opponents were fighting each other. I had
one frag left and one of them had dropped a power drain taking down both
of their sheilds. I then threw my grenade witch blew both of them up,
leaving just me and the hill. Of course with everyone dead I won the match
and got my best triple kill so far.
Well thats my tail from the foxhole so keep on fraggin trucks or whatever
we do now. And keep up the great work on the podcast!

Shoutouts to: OnlyUPS and The Decode

I can’t stand the guys who keep thinking COD4 or gears 2 or unreal
tournament 54 will be better than halo 3. its a complete package deal,
and so far bungie has done an excellent job of providing a great community
environment built on a wonderful game. Admit that you’re all a little
jealous that bungie gave me my own emblem?

I work with this guys who is the PERFECT example of why I hate the
“hardcore” label. He always talks trash at work and claims that he gets
invited to MLG events and that he is a level 45 general. I got sick of it
and in front of the whole staff I challenged him to a 1V1 match in Halo 3,
his rules and his map. So I sign on before work the next day and we have
our match. He was so cocky. He had invited 2 of his friends to “witness
my demise.” In order for them to stay out of the way, we go into forge on
Guardian, BR start and no ability to pick up weapons because he “didn’t
want me noobing it up” The game begins with both of us rushing out into
the middle and killing each other. The game was neck and neck until we
reached 9 kills. Suddenly I broke away and started owning him. I went on
a killing spree while listening to him yell and swear in frustration. Suddenly I see one of his friends spawn a mongoose and he jumps on the
back while the friend drives. I then proceed to beat him off the back
with the butt of my trusty BR. He spawns and suddenly I hear him yell
“Ryan quick drop me an overshield!” I turn in time to see him drop down
from above with an overshield and I promptly assassinated him. I then saw
him turn into a monitor in order to get around fast and watch as his
friends start deleting the spawn points and placing them in the middle of
the map. They also would turn into spartans and start attacking me. Realizing that he had sunken this low I told him “I’ll play with you again
when you grow up” and left. Final score, 14-9 in my favor.

At work a few minutes later the entire staff is laughing as a retell the
battle and we end up calling the guy up. He was so pissed and in his
angry openly admitted in front of the whole staff that he had tried to
cheat. Even now, 4 days after the battle, he is still sending me angry
messages.

The video is in my file share and is about 10 minutes long.

Hey guys, Corona here giving you guys a few tales from the foxhole
1.My first VIP match on Last Resort. This was probably one of the best
games i have ever had. I went 23-1 that game. Although it was a lost it
was awesome.
2.Just earlier today on Valhala, I threw a sticky at a warthog that was
going to run me over. It landed on the on the turret It exploded and the
hog flipped two or three times im the air and them both but i didn’t get
the Double kill in time :(
3.Shotties Snipers game on snowbound: As I spawned inside the
base,covenant side, I saw on my HUD that there were 3 red dots. I went
outside and and assassinated the first guy going on top of the base then i
jumped and was in a shotty fight with this one guy. Killed him for a double
kill and the third was heading towards me as i had very low shields. I shot
him and went for a melee attack for the triple kill.
All three are in my file share so check them out! my GT is PoD H3x Corona.
Ill see you guys out there. Hasta Luego! (thats I will see you guys later
in Spanish.) :D

hello, heres espectro-ak ghosty boy with a tale from the foxtrot, i was
playing as a guest with my bro, a game of slayer
i took a teammate in a warthog , we got some guys thnaks to my driving and
his aim, but when i was driving in the midvalley the guy in the banshe
crashed with us, we got sent in front of the elephant and got crushed by
it
i hope you read this one, keep up the good work and keep fraggin wierd
pointy thingies

My tale is quite humorous and deals with some of the issues people are
having with the “X” button being replaced.

I was playing a match on Valhalla and my buddy who was fairly new to Halo
3-it was his second day playing-was being attacked by a very low, slow
flying banshee I watched in horror as he got completely “owned” by this
banshee which he could have easily boarded, after being killed he started
screaming into his mike “this is bull crap its only been 2 days and these
people already modded the game so that no matter how much you jam down the
“X” button you can’t board the banshee, heck I can’t even get into the dang
worthog! Screw this crap!” immediately after he left the game.
The rest of the players on my team, as well as I, laughed until the match
ended.

Keep on trucking frags

I just want to talk about one forge variant of sandtrap so here it is. I
was looking on bungies website and looked under the map variant and found
a map called elephantgoBooM which when i played it was really funny
because the elephant was flying all over the map because of the explosive
barrels inside of it. after awhile me and two of my freinds decided to
make a movie on this and we did and it was really funny, i named the film
Elephant goes boom and put it on youtube where it has over 1,500 views on
it. well thats all CYA

Hey, Xwing 2000 here. Just wanted to say that even though most people had
to CHEAT (IE: Everyone standing around and letting the guy kill them) to
get their Overkill achievement. I got mine 100% legit! 4 kills, 4 seconds
between, in Lone Wolves, Slayer on Guardian. Although, I’ll admit that the
last guy I killed seemed to be scared stupid because he was just spraying
in my general direction with the AR, not really hitting me, lol. I’ve got
the save filmed of the whole match on my file share, so check it out.

One day I was playing co-op with my bro and he decided to leave and go
upstairs. So I got out of campaign and instead went to Narrows. On the
side of the map with the two man cannons I placed him where everything you
shoot through lands. Then using forge I proceeded to place spawn points for
random things like large crates, powerups, other things like that. Then I
spent the next half hour flinging whatever I could at him through the
opposing man cannon. More then once the 55 barrel took his head off. I
also had a nice stack of trip mines going on around him which were then
detonated by a power drainer I sent over. Combined with the larger amount
of fusion cores his body came flying all the way back and landed next to
me. Just like in Half-Life Garry’s Mod. Halo 3 is the best. I can only
imagine what other shenanigans people will get into with forge. Keep on
fragging trucks.

Ok, i was playing on high ground shotty-snipers

It was 48 to 40 our lead

3 people rush the bunker and kill my teammate, i threw a grenade and took
down all their shields then threw another for the end game triple kill 51
to 41

GT = church0070

hi guys, gotta make this quick, I’m at school. Anyway, one time me and my friends were playing Soartan Splatter with
hammers with low grav and high speed. It was so great, you couldn’t even
see where people were moving and somehow I got a triple kill! ZOMG!

Keep on fraggin trucks in HD Gloryz!

Hey guys, this is Agent 001/7 (double oh one seventh), a.k.a. Total
Tortilla on the forums and (soon) Pietacular on live, And I have a few
things for you.

First, I got a custom game for you.
Name: Rocketeers
Gametype: Team Slayer (Teams of 2)
Weapons: Rockets only
Vehicles: Only Mongeese
Map: Sandtrap
Kills: 50
Get into teams of two, grab a Mongoose, and blow some stuff up! I don’t
care if there’s a chance it’s already been done, its super fun to play!

Second, here’s a little Tale from the Fox Hole for you. I was playing Halo
1 (because I don’t have Xbox Live or a 360 and Halo 2’s story blows.) I was
playing in Truth and Reconciliation and I was making my way to the brig to
rescue Keyes. I realized that I left behind a Grunt that jumped behind me.
Then I saw a Jackal with a charged Plasma Pistol in front of me. They fired
at me at the same time and I’m thinking, “Oh, s*!” I quickly duck and the
2 end up shooting each other and they end up dying. I stand up and take a
second to think about what happened. When it became clear, I teabagged
what I decided to call “my kills”, and continued my mission.

Just want to say that I love the show. Keep on fraggin’ n00bs, talking
stuff, and eating dumplings!

PS: Look on live for bearskat and birdskat. Those are my friends Gamertags
on his 360.

hey podtacular I am loving halo 3 and have a good tale from the foxhole. So
I was playing lone wolves on epitaph and was losing pretty bad by about 4
points in last place. I was chewing this nasty nasty energy gum I got from
the cvs pharmacy i got a few hours ago and I was so caught up with the
nasty flavor of the gum and losing so bad that as soon as I spawnedI
walked near an edge of the map and tryed to spit my gum out over the edge.
sadly the gum landed in my bole of amazing chocolate ice cream…


Wrap up

Until next time I’m Foo Mo Jive (and this is)
