introductions


1)i was doing a forge custom with a friend and we made a continuous man
cannon on narrows. well we just went back and forth laughing and spawning
random objects i.e. pallets radios. well i jumped out and spawned a ghost
and placed it a bit too close to the cannon and for 2 or 3 volleys we
chuckled then all off a sudden i see the ghost in a perfect arc fly off
the grav lift the hit my friend i just started laughing as hard as i could
and he started yelling at me.
2) i was in shotty snipers on Valhalla. it was 48 48 i ran to their base
and 2 of em jumped after me. i shot one in the chest then chucked a
grenade it blew up as it hit his chest.49-48 the other jumps off the base
and i pull off a no scope and headshot right before my line of sight is
blocked by some rocks. 50-48 we win yay. the screen shot is on my file
share i cut the guy with the grenade out. i think the video is up there
too. this all happened within 3 seconds.gamer tag c-p-t_k-a-b-u-s-3 so you
can check out it out.plz send me invites to your sweet 4 hour podtac
sessions.

Hey, Me and my friends were screwing around in forge on sandtrap, we were
killing each other, and getting bored with that we went and started a
weapons cache, in the crashed phantom. That developed into a base which
spawned another base on the other side, in one of those bunker type things
with the 4 entrances on the sides and a hole in the middle. We set all the
spawn to those bases and set it up for multi flag, it worked ok, but we
haven’t manged to get a big enough party to actually try it out. I know I’m late for tales from the foxhole but I was playing halo 3
so you cant blame me! Anyway, I was in matchmaking, in lone wolves and we
get crazy king on narrows, I was looking at everybody levels when I see
“brentgamer” was in there. I remembered him from podtacular, but since it
was lone wolves I didn’t get a chance to talk to him. Anyway he beat me by
about 15-20 seconds, but I got my best screenshot form that match, its a
picture of me dual wielding spikers, with a spike planted directly in the
middle of brent’s faceplate, with his head rolled back I put a link in. And the other one is from campaign. I was shooting at some brutes
up on a ledge, and I pull the left trigger for a plasma grenade, and in
the millisecond-barely noticeable delay that it took to get cheif to throw
it in the game one of them throws a spike grenade, my grenade hits his,
sticks to the spike which lands on my chest, Now I’m like “WTF?” the
plasma drops and sticks to my foot, the spike goes off, and a bunch of
plasmas beneath me go off propelling me out of the forest and into the
air, then the plasma detonates and I shoot back down to earth, hit the
ground and BOUNCE back up into the air at which point it restarted. Anyway
sorry for the late tales from the foxhole

hey podtacular, this is phil101. i have been listenin to the show since episode 90 and this is my 1st submission. i have a tale from the foxhole about a CRAZY noscope that i got during an infection game on sandtrap. me and my friend FUTURE PRO 62 were driving around the outside of the map on a mongoose, he was driving and i was on back with a sniper. we were driving by the downed phantom when a zombie came running at us at 300% speed and i quickly noscoped him. this was not the amazing noscope i was talking about. me and future pro continued to drive around the map when we were near the downed pelican on the other side of the map, i saw the same zombie that i had killed early running back the the phantom to see if we were still there. i saw him running, lead him with my sniper, and fired from the back of our mongoose. i hit him in the face from across the map getting a snipe medal. i just lost it and started screaming. O MY GOD DID U JUST SEE THAT!!! then shortly after the other 12 zombies caught up to us and WABAMED us with their grav hammers. this was my craziest noscope by far in halo 3 so far. the vid is in my fileshare under my gamertag: phil101. check out the zombie game that i made based on the movie AVP. send me a friend request im on almost every day. great job on the podcast FooMo and JVB. keep on owning noobs. Phil101

hey guys! just want to give you a tale from the foxhole, we were playing on
gaurdian (i probably spelled wrong) and there were two guys fighting above
me. so i threw a random grenade thinking it wouldnt do anything. 4 seconds
later i hear “double kill” and run into the room to find them dead. if you
want to see the film it is on my fileshare, labeled as “lucky grenade” and
that’s at
“http://www.bungie.net/stats/Halo3/FileShare.aspx?gamertag=Frogman187”
PS. for all you animal gamers out there check out the podtacular zoo in
the forums!

PSS. (trying to be origanal) keep on dismantaling minivans!

To jump right into the barrel full of stories and laughs that is Halo, I
was playing a one on one match with my Bro on Narrows when we both dropped
a bubble shield on the main cannon at the same time and both got shot by
the main cannon at the same time and the bubble shields along with me and
my Bro crashed and we both fell to our doom. I also gotta say that the
mauler is probably my favorite weapon (asside from the flamethrower)
because you can just shoot once and then kasmack your enemy and he will
die and i have gotten many many kills on guardian and construct just with
that weapon. A quick tip for construct is to get the flamethrower and
just stand at one of the jump pads to the upper levels and then when an
unsuspecting opponent comes whooshing up you give his hair a nice little
hair cut with your flamethrower. Well i can’t wait for my copy of Halo 3
to come back from Microsoft because I got one of the scratched copies and
i still havn’t finished the fight and i’m almost going crazy.

Keep on fraggin Volkswaggens.

My friend and I were playing the level Halo in campaign on Legendary and we
had gotten to the part where you fight the Hunters. Well my friend and I
had been hiding behind the piece of glass that is right there after you go
through the door that goes into that room. We would peek out and shoot or
try to stick the hunters and when they fired, hide behind the glass. It
was funny cause when we played it back in the theater on fast, it looked
really funny. Anyway, after dying a couple of times, my friend realized
he had a hammer and invincibility. Well, I dropped a bubble shield right
on the other side of the glass, the side exposed to the hunters and let by
friend flank one of the hunters. Right before he came out, he activated
his invincibility and then proceeded to smack the hunter in the head with
the brute hammer. It was awesome.

Hey podtacular, I want to talk about something kind of funny that happened
when i was playing team doubles on the level the pit, i had the sword and
i was going after one of the other people on the other team, well he was
going down the ramp that leads to the lowest part of the pit and i was
above him and slashed my sword a him and he die and when it happen i am
like OMG because i most likely would of miss him but some hw killed him,
also i am going to put a map on my file share later for a forge varient of
Valhalla for my new mashinima called The Life of the Special Forces. The
map has a human side and a alien side. I the map is Called Special Forces
and will be up on my file share. CYA

Hey guys UNWRITTEN LAW19 here with a tale from the foxhole.Well i was
playing a 8 v 8 team slayer match on sandtrap.i was standing by one of the
sandlift when a warthog came flying towards me from the middle hump
thing.the driver came at me so i stuck the hog as it was falling and i
heard the driver say “ohh shit” as he was falling with a stickie on his
hog then BOOM!! he die.its was hilarious.well great show keep on fragging
xbox’s.

The other day I got into a game of Team Slayer. It was Shotty Snipers on
Snowbound, which is good and bad, as I don’t like Shotty Snipes but I love
Snowbound. So anyways, about halfway through the match I get double teamed
in the rocky area by blue base. I chuck most of my grenades blindly and
kill the first guy, confusing the other. So as I’m back-peddling away
from him he turns around, jumps, and I no-scope him twice, once in the
chest and then in the foot, getting my double kill. A couple minutes
later as I’m walking above the Camo spawn a guy shoots me from behind with
a shotgun but just barely hits me, so I turn around and no scope him in the
face.
I have a film of both in my fileshare, and my gamertag is Duffman X18. Shout-outs this week go to the guys over at the Gamercast Network Forums,
Crimmy and Jev, and Only Ghost. Keep on pwning nubs with wet towels.

Hey Podtacular, WolfRider here, This is my first ever tale from the
foxhole. November 4th 2007, Valhalla. It was Big Team Slayer, i was on red
team. It was mid-way through the match, i was making my way towards the
rock formation in the middle of the map. A Bluey had just gone down in
front of me, and had dropped a missile pod. I picked it up and started to
make my way towards Blue base. Suddenly a lone bluey driving a warthog
appeared, i easily pwned him with four rapid missile strikes. was that
all…i don’t think so. As if on cue a Banshee appear from behind Blue
base, coming in for an attack run. I Checked my missile count, two left.
As soon as i locked on to him and fired the first missile. He Started
Boosting, however he was quickly dispatched by both missiles. Problem was,
i destroyed the Banshee while it was boosting and the parts of the Banshee
started Rapidly Falling towards me and my Team. I watched in both in
horror and amazement as the fuselage hit the ground, bounced and smacked
into one of my team mates faces, sending him flying into the rock
formation behind him. It was my First ever Betrayal in Halo 3.

Keep on Fragging Trucks and urinating Brutes.

HOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Boy do I have a story to tell. It started out just like any normal Team
Slayer Matchmaking game. It was a 4v4 game on Isolation. As usual, there
is a rush for the ghost below ground. A teammate and I went together and
saw that a guy from the other team already got there. The guy in the
ghost saw my teammate first and boosted so he could splatter him. My
teammate jumped but got nicked and was in the process of kicking the guy
out of the ghost. I came to help but didn’t see my teammate boarding the
ghost so I naturally threw a spike grenade in hoping it would stick the
ghost and blow it up. Fortunately I actually stuck the guy in the ghost
and not the ghost itself. So as a result, as my teammate kicked him out
of it, the grenade stayed stuck to him. Talk about teamwork! It’s in my
fileshare for proof. Just search for madadam004 (it’s sounds like Mad
Adam 004 except all one word).

hey guys his is shotgunfrEIndly yes i no that friendly is spelled wrong but
its my thing. before i start id like to say that iv been listening sense
the forza motor sports episode and loved the show its hilarious and even
without the halo its hilarious so that goes to show you that the podcast
is great even without the halo in it, but thats enough of that lets skip
to the tale.

anyways my tale comes from sandtrap u see one time me and my friend Fear
the Swoop were playing BTB and i happen to be a splazer king so i grab the
splazer and splazer everything splazerable well i was hanging out above one
of the big gaps in the well i call it the relic. a banshee comes and starts
nailing my friends i started chargin my splazer to nail the banshee well
while i was a chargin the banshee lowered and my friend tried to board.
well i splazer the banshee as my friend was in midair and boarding the
banshee well my friend gets splattered by the debris of the banshee well
he got betrayed and i got the betrayal. i never realized it until i heard
him laughing so hard and he told me. i dont have it on film but i do have
a picture of me splazering the banshee and my friend boarding it.

another story i have for u guys is a lone wolves match. one time i was
leading on guardian 24 to 23. well im come out of the “holy” grav lift or
the golden one and go out to where the camo is and where the jump pad
lands people well i look and i see that a person was about to use the pad
to jump me by surprise so i throw a plasma at the pad hoping to stick him
as he got on it. i missed, so i wait for him to land so i can smash his
brains with my grav hammer well somehow i miss the swing and he beats me
down but i took down the shields well the score is now tied 24-24 the guy
then proceeds to go after another guy and then somehow dies, i get a death
from the grave and won the match. my first reaction is “holy Master Chief i
think Jesus just gave me my yearly miracle!” but when i looked at the save
filmed i found that the plasma grenade that i had thrown had landed on the
jump pad and jumped back to the walkway and landed near the guy who killed
me and killed him. i have the film clip in my file share under The Best
Ending Ever!

anyways to wrap up this story Shout outs to Puablo, Fear the Swoop,
Hiokami, Tom, and the rest of the ODST Recon

keep on doing whatever u prefer doing to whatever u prefer to do what u
prefer doing it to. i prefer to stick blue spiders to guys heads and watch
that imaginary face behind the helmet wait in fear as he dies without being
able to do anything

Hey guys! It’s the Podtacular Zoo’s #1 attraction comming to you with an
interesting Tale from le Foxhole. I was playing in Big Team Battle on
social and ended up in a game of territories on Sandtrap. We were losing
badly and going into the final round, we were on offense and losing 8 to
3. Thankfully, there was an ever so slim chance of making it a tie game if
we captured all the territories. Ironically enough, I jumped in a ‘hog with
some other guy and we made two quick, completely uncontested captures…the
promptly got pwned by a choppa. DA!!!!!!!!! Thankfully though, I was able
to make a third capture while the rest of my team captured of fourth one.
So we actually had a chance to tie the game. I had just respawned and was
heading for the final, oddly undefended territory when I hear “30 seconds
remaining!” Obviously, it was going to be a close one. So I’m capturing
and as the capture bar gets a little past the halfway mark, the ten second
warning sounds. “Ooh, drama mounting,” I thought. So the game is winding
down, I’m so close to capturing that last territory when out of nowhere,
the ENTIRE blue team just pounds me simultaneously. I die right as the
capture bar completely fills, but I don’t get the capture and before I
could respawn, the game ends…DOH! So it was a close loss of 7-8. Thanks
for reading and this last round is in my fileshare if you want to see it
yourself.

Well my friend showed me this video he had in a Team Shotty Snipers game,
it was pretty damn epic what happened. At the very start of the game on
Valhalla, he launched off the mancannon and zoomed in on a guy on the
opposing base. He killed the guy with a headshot and then my friend
randomly died without anyone on the other player on the map shooting. Upon further review of the Saved Film we discovered that my friends shot
that hit the base on the other side of Valhalla, actually rebounded off
the wall of that base and hit my friend (who is still in the air from
launching off the manconnon). If thats not wierd enough someone on the
opposing team hits him in the head after my friend is already dead causing
him to do a mid air backflip. It might sound like I’m making this up, but
hey, we got the video to prove it.

hi guys this is heavy fire grunt and this is my tale from the fox hole i
was playing multi team on high ground and i was on the sniper pearch with the sparten lazer and i was aming at this guy that
was on the beach and i gess his team mate was was behind him and it said
achiement unlocked Two for One and well any way my team won and i would
like to give a shout out too huntrob03 good grunt dude and every one on my
friends list

Hey Podtacular, My friend was playing on snowbound, in King of the Hill.
He was starting of bad, but he then decided to get on the Ghost. He’s
pretty good with driving, but never really got that many kills with any
vehicle. Anyway, he took the ghost to the hill, and ran over two guys, he
waited at the hill, thinking someone would eventually kill, but no one
could. He ended up taking the ghost through the whole map splattering
everyone. He never died once while on the ghost. They tried to team up on
him, but they all got killed. He ended up getting rampage, and Vehicular
Manslaughter. He didn’t win the king of the hill game, but it was still
cool.

Thanks Podtacular, keep on Fraggin all things Squirrely, and my Science
teacher.
Shout out to Ryokashi(dude in the story), and THEBLACKK1D

Also, anybody from Microsoft listening to this, I WANT MY XBOX BACK. ONE
MONTH IS TO LONG TO BE WITHOUT HALO.

One day a freind and I were playing 1 on 1 custom slayer game on Narrows.
The score was close and I was about to walk into one of the man cannons. My
friend, who was standing near the sniper spawn on the same side as the map
as me, lobbed a plasma grenade in my direction right as I was about to
walk into the lift. It happened to get caught in the cannon right as I was
in it. The grenade shot into the air right when I did, latching perfectly
onto my leg. I blew up in mid air and we both had a good laugh about it.
The clip isn’t currently on my fileshare but I plan to put it on there
soon.

Hey guys, new listener. Just in case you don’t know how to pronounce my
name, I have spelled it out phonetically: sy-ler. Anyways, now that that’s
out of the way, i would like to tell you about an experience of mine. I was
playing on Valhallah with my friend. For a while i was winning by a few
points, until my friend suddenly vanished! How’d he do that? After about 5
minutes of complete scilence, i decided to get of my rock and go looking
for him. I couldn’t find him anywhere! That is of course until i saw that
all too familliar pinprich of red light. That little dot that i so often
used against people: my friend was holding Sasha! Sasha is my Sp’lzr!
Nobody touches her! But he did. Those 3 seconds of charging time seemed
like an eternity. In those 3 seconds I looked deep into my soul and saw
who I really was. And then that little line of fire expanded, growing
larger and larger like some sort of giant radioactive sponge. Then that
awful sound. That demonic shrieking that I still have nightmares about.
All of a sudden i was floating; whatching my pink, dinosaur-like body burn
and writhe. And then, that deep, commanding Godly voice. I will never
forget what it said.

GAME OVER!

NOOOOOOOOOOO! I screamed, before finally turning off my xbox, and going to
sleep.

So we were playing a good game of team slayer on guardian. The score was 49-49. I was feeling confident that i could manage to get the last kill with my shotty so i turned around the corner and saw a guy with a gravity hammer and one of his buddies. I shot the shotgun almost as the hit from the gravity hammer struck me as well killing all three of us. But wait there’s more. Somewhere at the other end of the map my friend gets killed at exactly the same time that we did. The game ended at a tie with an Inconceivable score of 51-51. After being accused of hacking we continued upon our merry way laughing our faces off.

Good job on the show keep up the great work

Keep on fraggin trucks

Hey verybody, Over the time playing custom games with my friends I realized you can
actually shoot grenades out of the air. One time, a spiker nade came
hurdeling towards me and as a last resort I shot of a bullet and the
grenade exploded in mid air. It was sweet. I also like rikasheeaing
bullets of the floor. Once on the pit, me and my friends just shot the
floor so it would bounce up and hit us. There are new cool things we learn
about every day.

Hey waz up guys is Doctor Q!!!! OK so anyway i wa playin Lone Wolves crazy
king on The Pit and i was trying to get the Lee R wilson Memorial but it
wasnt working out so well so i wandered into the sword room low and behold
there was a sword sitting right there! so i picked it up walked over to the
hill and i saw this invisible guy infront of me shooting down on these two
other guys in the hill so i assasinated him, went down into the hill and
cut up the other 2 guys and ‘Steppin’ Razor’ was onlocked!!!! but then
some retard with a rocket launcher had to ruin my fun… The video is in
my file share: DoKtuR Q

Hey guys I got a Tail from the Fox hole. During a game of Neutral Bomb on
Valhalla, which we sadly lost, I got my first killtac on Halo 3. I had
used the man-cannon to get to the middle where I found the Spartan Laser.
As I picked it up, I saw a fully loaded Warthog coming at me. I charged
the Spartan Laser and blasted the Warthog. When it announced the medals I
had gotten it said, “Killtacular!” But I only saw three people. When I
looked at the video, I saw that right as I fired at the Warthog, a
Mongoose with 2 people in it drove right behind it. I got five kills in
one shot! It was amazing! The video is saved on my file share so check it
out! Gamertag is TheRussiaKoLoB. Great job with the show! Like to give a
shout out to drivec, Sqweryl, and everyone at Rec E.

hey wuts up this is going to be my first time sending in something for the
podcast! so one time me and my friend were playing on forge on Vahalla i
was the moniter. i set up a mongouse next to the man cannon well i started
to go over to the other base when my friend pushed the mongouse into the
man cannon which shot out and killed me in the air. well thats all i have
and keep fragging guys with bar mustaches


Wrap up

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