introductions


Narrows it pretty much like my favoritest map. I know a lot of people hate
it, but it is awesome. On any game, people will always try to get to the
other people’s base with the mancannons. Just toss a plasma into it to
stick them in midair. If you can, grab a bubble shield before going into
the mancannon. The beginning of the match is always a rocket rush, so toss
some grenades and such. There are 4 sweet hiding spots on narrows, check on
youtube. They are the 4 pillars that you can get to from the side of the
bridge. The shotgun pwns in this map, and the sniper can be used well
also. That’s really all of my tips, keep on fraggin those huge, ugly,
gas-guzzling hummers.

A couple of tips for Narrows… stay together. Teamwork is very important
on this map. If you’re playing a TS, maybe have two guys on the top level
and two guys on the lower level.

Me and Anorexic Leader were trying to do this, but someone told me about a
jump from the top of a man-cannon, to the top of the bridge. I’m not sure
exactly how it goes, but here’s my impression:
You get on top of the roof thing directly above the man-cannon, and walk
forward as far as you can, then there’s a little ledge on the side of the
bridge. You crouch-jump to that ledge.

lol that must have been really confusing… if you really care about this
jump, then just message me on XBL… I can try to show it to you. I just
got my xbox back from the repair center and I havent played in a while so
i might not remember it correctly…

My gamertag is ManOfPopsicle14

Well that’s all I got to say for Narrows, I don’t really play on it
much…

keep fraggin’ the red rings of death and Oprah

-Man Of Popsicle

Hey guys this is FEARMASTER93 reporting on a good sniping spot. On each
side with the mancannons, there is these small ledge like ramps that are
built into the walls. You can either grab the sniper or the shotgun or
both if you want to. Go back to there and you have to jump up to the area
and you will have to crouch walk into the position which is good so you
wont appear on the motion tracker. If anyone can describe it in more
detail feel free to. See yall later on Halo3, Cod4, and R6V2.

The Easiest way to win a slayer game on this map is getting weapon control.
Weapon control= the godlike “spawntrap.” First of all this works much
easier in a double team game but can adapt to a slayer. First of all, get
control of the snipers. This is key and you will why soon. Next, eliminate
the rocket threat by playing at top mid, forcing the opponents to play in
their back areas (man cannon, flag, midspawn). Set up a/two sniper(s) on
top mid, one looking flag spawn, the other lookin Man Cannon. Play the
other player(s) up infront of the area where mauler spawns. If done
correctly, when the other team dies in this setup, they will spawn at flag
or man canon. NOTE: This wont always work as the negativity builds on
oneside as opposed to the other. Another note: The trap will eventually
quit as they spawn on an obscure spot, so keep on your toes.

Thats all! Keep on pwning little anus armor-wearing Leprechauns.

Hey podtacular Uzumaki15 here again with some multiplayer tips.

When you spawn try to get to the shotty as quickly as possible if you
can’t get it then go for a mauler these will help dominate in close
quarters if not pick up a SMG and a BR. If you can get to it also try to
get the sniper rifle and the camo/overshields. Using the mancannons can be
stratigical as you can frag the top floor as you pass (I got a double kill
once from doing this) but somtimes it can be a disadvantage because if
someone launches off the other mancannon you both will collide and fall to
your deaths.
Now when playing a game like one bomb offense it is beneficial if you
split up have the bomb carrier and an escort or two take the lower level
away from the rockets and have another team take the mancannon this way
the second team can distract while the bomb carrier can plant the bomb.
That’s about it for narrows cause I don’t usually play on this map.

Keep on fraggin’ trucks,and midgets.
P.S. to Foo Moo: I’d be happy to play you in Yaris

yo podtacular its DAXTERUNLIMITED here to tell you about anouther hiding
place. basically this is for team doubles only when you start out get
acouple of kills ahead of the other team then go down to the oversheild or
the invisibility spawn,then jump down on to the bridge under you, then go
to one of the outcroping and crouchwalk onto the edge and wait untill the
game ends and you win.
thats my tip hope you like it .
p.s. keep on making noob pancakes with warthogs

when u spawn u will go to the sniper spawn across from you will be the
other team trying to get the sniper too kill them

Hey every one its Babam, and thanks to my leet psp hax, I can now load the
front page. Any way now for some tips.
When you first start I recomend having one person rush rockets, and one
rush shotgun.
This is a heavy BR Map, so make sure to circle strafe, and keep your head
low when your shields are down.
Now the mancannons seem like a nice way to get around the map,but they
usually lead you right into 5 guys from the other, and you get pwnd.
Keep on fragging trucks that store hunters that talk stuff.

Yo Podtac

TIPS - When you spawn always go for one of the sets of plasma grenades.
Try to ignore the rocket launcher because someone will always grab it.
Once you have the grenades either fallback and go through the man cannon
or go down low. Either way you should end up pushing up. Then you have a
lot of choices but i like to grab the needler and kill the stuff out of
anyone that gets in my way.Once i die i repeat this. Also trough a frag
onto the bridge whenever you go across the man cannons.
If you are a sniper grab the sniper riffle and do your stuff. (no
literally ‘stuff’) I hate snipers.

TALES - One time i was going through the man cannon and i chucked a random
grenade at the bridge. One i landed i got a triple kill and a betrayal for
my efforts.
Also one time i was playing king of the hill and everyone decided to quit
one i was ahead by twenty-some seconds. It was just me and Boyydeee. The
game was sad his couple seconds were destroyed as i came up with the win
because for some sad reason the two times he got the chance he ran right
by the hill. I later found out that the had no idea it was king of the
hill.

CREATIONS - There are two good forge maps i know of on Narrows. One you
have already mentioned and that is Slip n Slide. Easy fun until someone
destroys. The second can be found on the forgiest hub around: Forge Hub!
it is Hobo Heights and the object is to kill the hobos / don’t die from
the mass hobo murder.

NayNay has infested my Construct map whenever i go on forge mode i swear.

Keep on fraggin’ stuff.

this is one of my favorite maps there are alot of tricks on this map. ok to
start off in my opinion you should always try to get the sniper, if you
can manage that much there are so many sniping perches in this level, to
list a few the are like little beams on either side of the middle walk way
those are ok but not the best personally i like to go over to the fusion
coils and there is a ledge on the wall there it is a great sniping spot
and no one ever notices you there.alo one more thing on this map is that
you can get out of it many ways the easiest one is when you go by the
shotty platform right on the edge and you jump down onto the ring thingy
where there is a little side in which you dont die when you are in side it
i know this is confusing sorry well yeah thoes are my tips

keep on spanking budunkadunk

if you grenade jump towards either side of the ledges in the back you get a
good point of veiw of everything and can jump down and shooty people below!

Keep on fraggin ultra super flying turtle that poop in peoples eyes!!!

hey podtacular, number1gangta here ( and NO this is not a typo, that is my
gamertag). anyway, onto the tip. on narrows, when you go through the
mancannon, press the jump button right when you land. this will give you a
boost and send you further than a regular jump. also, when going for the
rockets in the beginning of a match, do not stop when you see opposing
players approaching them. just jump right in and grab. often you will get
a double kill on opponents who stay back waiting to kill you when you get
the rockets.

Thats my tips, thanks for a great podcast. keep on fraggin’ noobs wearing
nene molten magma camouflaged anus armour

One of the greatest ways to knock someone off continuously man-cannoning
back and forth is not to jump in yourself, but to throw either a stick
grenade, or one of the more unnoticed, throw equipment in. A power drain
or a bubble shield will work, and send opponents to their demise below.

A good tip for anyone on Narrows is if you are trying to flank someone from
the middle to either end, rush up the side of the top walkway and jump off
the side to land at the bottom level on the Man cannon side or the one
opposite that. If you see anyone guarding the sides, start shooting them
right away to catch them off guard. Its even better if there’s no one near you, because the other team would
either you jumped off the cliff or they might not even know you jumped
over there. Then you can flank them from out of the blue and get a couple
of kills, as long as your team distracts the opposing team with fire and
grenades.

Hey podtacular, Clifford the ‘Big Red Dog’ here again with a a few sniper
perch tips on the narrows. the first which is good for sniping at the
mancannons and the side oppsosite to the mancannons, (what would we call
that… ill just call it #2) in the middle where there are the ramps, you
can jump over the side and there’s a small slant that you can stand on
where you have a perfect veiw of the mancannon’s and #2. the second is
a pretty well known one but I thought id just tell you andways. just next
to the mancannons, (and on the same spot for #2) there is another small
slant that you can snipe the oppsite side of the map from. this is a good
spot to hide with the ball, bomb or flag if you have to.

o and just 1 more tip for objective games on narrows, if you have the bomb
or flag, dont go over the mancannon!! if you die it WILL fall and you will
have to redo all of your hard work.
cya podtacular,
keep on fraggin.., like, 23 midgets!

hey guys its shotgunfreindly again sending in ways to survive harsh and
dangrous wilderness that is known by many as Xbox Live. some good general
tips for any LIVE get togethers are avoid using nasty language, mute those
who use nasty language and of course have fun while you kick ass and chew
bubble gum with friends.

now to narrows. narrows is a rather simple map with a few twists added in
such as the man cannons and SPNKR (prnounced spunker. sense thats the way
it would be pronounced if you pronounce it the way its spelled. and two
snipers, and of course the beautiful needler. also how can i forget the
very beautiful and deadly shotgun. now a good strategy for snipers is to
go and grab it then head to where two plasma grenades spawn near where the
mauler spawns, jump up on the square that they are on top of and look for a
piece of the wall that sticks out. go up and hug the wall and you will be
up in a shadowed corner that is very good cover that lets you see very far
all the way back to the enemies spawn area. you are covered by shadows so
you are covered preety well only the lens from your helmet will give you
away if you basically directly into the sun.
another good strategy is that when you spawn go grab a SMG then go duel
wield it with a Spiker. this combo is really good the Spiker takes down
the shields preety fast while the SMG rips right through them with no
shields plus the spiker does moderate damage agianst non shielded players
much more damage then the plasma rifle. not many like to duel wield but i
cannot tell you how many kills i have gotten duel wielding. its a good
thing to use in the right situations like when you are defending the
sniper or flag.
well thats it for lets see what kind of fragging i can come up with right
here on the spot…...k got it

keep on fragging fusion coiled filled trucks that make nice big fiery
explosions that will satisfy any manly man, then watch as that fragged
truck’s debris hits a cone and splatters a person near by by hitting them
in the head, then watch as they get Recon armor while you did all the
work. isent this world unfair =(.

hey podtacular. one general tips is to get control of all the power items.
(sniper x2,shotgun, and rocket launcer). have one of your teamates head
oer on the man cannon and get behind the other team at the beggining
battle for the shotgun in the basekment. use the power drainer and bubble
shield well for this map. good gun combinations would be a BR and
shotgun,or a BR and a sniper. thanks podtacular for all ur great shows.

Keep on fraggin nay nay natzis

Hey all it’s The Lancelot with a few tips for Narrows.
1. Place trip mines on the bridge behind the little wall things that are
along it. On the narrow side that faces your team. If an enemy cuts too
close…BOOM!

2. If you’re good enough you can lodge a grav lift in the side of a man
cannon and shoot stuff into the main opening that the bridge goes into.
3. Drop a bubble shield on the man cannon when you go through. If you’re
coordinated enough you can take two partners with you. Protected all the
way to the drop zone. It can even work with the mongooses if you’re timed
right. Also works well when combined with tip #2.

That’s it for now. Just like to say hi to Dust Storm, your fly is undone.
Keep on fraggin stuck zippers.

Well, the first part of doing well on this map is weapon choice. This is
essential on all symmetrical maps, not so much on asymmetrical maps, as
you almost always spawn in your base were you will be faced with the same
weapon choices. Given that in each base is 1 sniper, 2 BRs, 1 Mauler, 1 PR
(Plasma Rifle), 1 Brute Shot, 2 Spikers and 2 SMGs, and in the middle of
the map is a Shotgun and Rockets.
If you want the Sniper, I suggest keeping your AR or going for the
Shotgun, as there is a close range weapon and long range weapon there. It
is not unreasonable to get the Brute Shot either. If you want the Rocket
Launcher, a heavy weapon which fires low speed high explosive rounds, I
suggest an AR, BR, or Shotty as a secondary weapon. If you want Shotty, go
for BR, Sniper, or a Brute Shot. Any of the dual wieldable weapons, with
the exception the the Mauler, is really only useful dual wielded, so if
you want the PR, which is the only one without a partner, you may need to
infiltrate the other base for theirs. If you get one of those weapons,
keep a BR, Brute Shot or Sniper.
Now for powerups. Not much needs to be said, but the powerup for your team
is different for each side. The base with the blue walls has the
Overshields, and the one with brown walls have the Active Camo. Good
weapons for the Overshields are: Rockets, Shotgun, Mauler and the good ol’
AR. For the Camo, you should get the AR, Brute Shot (powerful melee),
Shotgun, or Sniper! Nothing is more humiliating that being shot in the
face by an invisible sniper! Besides the ol’ Teabag.
Ok, onto my strategies. First off is for king games. When you are in the
hill, it is good to have a Shotty and Sniper, for reasons I’ll say later.
If you have the Shotty at least, deploy a Bubble Shield whilst in the hill
and wait for others to come to you, then blast them in the face with your
FriendlyShotgun! Also known as Bubble Shield camping, this allows you to
keep control of the hill and also rack up kills for your stats. For the
Sniper, it is good to kill the people in the hill before you enter.
Don’t forget that the Sniper is a deadly close range weapon when used in
the right hands. When using it close range, aim for the head. If you
can’t, hit the body and go for a melee. In other words, use it like the
Shotgun.
My final and best tip applies to the Mancannons. This works on all maps
with Mancannons.
On games when the enemy team has good snipers or laserers, or on Snipers
games, and you want to go on the mancannon, but you can’t without being
killed, simply deploy a bubble shield as you are going up the mancannin,
and it will come with you, and you will be shielded as you are flying
through the air. This is harder than in sounds, but with a bit of
practice, you will get it right. Likewise, if your teammate needs
assistance on the other side of the Mancannon, toss him a regenerator. Or,
throw a flare or a power drainer and then snipe them when they are maimed.
Also, it is not a bad idea on Flag games, to have someone grab the flag
and toss it up the mancannon for their teammates to capture.
Also, when forging this map, don’t forget to put a mongoose in for some
flying vehicular action.
Thats my tips for this week, keep on fraggin’ Recall armor.

So. On Narrows in slayer you spawn (start of round) on a little platform,
from there i turn left or right and grab a BR that is leaning up against
the pilon. i go round to the side and seee if i can BR some guys from the
other side as i walk towards the sniper. i don’t usually kill anyone but
it’s just fun to make them fear for their anus armor. I then get the
sniper, 2x zoom in and walk towards the shotgun. By doing this, if you
are a good sniper, you can fend off other shotgun wanters. Get the
shotgun and go wild. you can either go right up the sides and shotty
people or retreat to the up-the-wall sniper nest you can use the shhotgun
if anyone tries to come up and kill you.

well… thats my strategy, so keep on fraggin trucks and don’t tell
anyone the keypad combination to your anus armor.

Oi!! Podtacular whats up?! Well I guess it’s time for my map tip for Narrows. Narrows is my
favorite map to play shotty snipes on. So I have a tip for playing shotty
snipers on Narrows. Over at both bases there is are two large obstructions
sticking out from the wall right next to the mauler. If you can get on top
of these things then you can go up this ramp like thing that also sticks
out from the wall and snipe the other bases from here. Narrows also has
two levels and when you see someone on your radar, always assume that they
are on your level, otherwise you could get shot. If they are just around
the corner move around in the same spot so you show up on their radar. After you do this crouch in a corner and wait for them to charge
recklessly into the room, then POW right in the kisser with a good old
shotty. Yups so thanks for reading my post. Keep on fraggin floobs who
eat pudding sprinkled with emu feathers and green alpaca fur when they
beat you at Halo 3!

Tip 1: on narrows, gather up one or two other players and a bubble shield,
go to the mancannon and place the bubble shield on the mancannon as soon
as you and your friends go on it and you will not be able to be shot at
while you are in the shield of bubbleness.

Keep on fraggin chuck norris driving a truck while yelling for his anus
armor to be purple with happy skulls on it.

on narrows, go down to the lower floor and grab the shotgun on the bridge.
The Active camo or overshield is optional. After you get that, go to
either side of the map to the very back were there is that pit, crouch
near one of the walls while still on the platform near the drop and wait
for an enemy to come, as soon as the person comes, you can: a) shoot him
with your shotgun (if you do this enough without dying you can get a
shotgun spree or open season) b) Assaninate him which can give you that
“up close and personal” achievement or c) get an easy plasma or spike
grenade stick which can get you the “Lee R. Wilson Memorial” achievement.

P.S.: I do not have an xbox live account yet but am currently trying to
convince my dad to let me get it.

Keep on Fragging Trucks and Deploying dumplings to interrogate brutes to
help you find the oh-so elusive nae-nae.

Hey FooMo and Jvb i have a tip for this map.As you will find out the man
cannons are very useful on this map.Ok well to the tip,first get some
plasma grenades a BR and any other weapon of your choice and stand at a
man cannon and wait for a poor innocent soul to come flying across and
throw your plasma (this almost always works) and hope you kill your
opponent.If you have a shotgun run up to him and kill him.If you dont, use
your BR to shoot him in the head three times and you should get your kill.
PS:Pick’em,Flick’em and hope you Stick’em.

Hello I just wanted to say I enjoy your show I have been a listener since
Halo 2. I have one strategy for sniping, that works guranteed, and I am
surprised more people dont do it because it is just basic common sense. When you are sniping on the narrows, and you are on the top, scope in and
aim at the horizon, and then just strafe from side to side. Since the
people on the other side of the level will be walking uphill toward you,
when you aim at the horizon you will notice how much quicker and easier
you are lined up for headshots, as that is the first part of the body you
will see when someone is walking uphill toward you. A good position to
own on this level are the ramps that go down below to the shotgun and
rifle spawns. You can get easy kills on the people down low at the same
time the ramps provide great cover. You can use the same strategy to get
easy sniper kills on any map where an opponent is walking up hill toward
you (such as valhalla)

Hope this helps

xL PATCHES 7x (my GT)

Yo, Podtack! Here a just a few tips for Narrows… My first goal on this
map is to get the # 1 power weapon, “The Spanker,” into my teams hands (or
mine!) so the first thing I do is rush it with at least one more of my
teamates (make sure that your other allies are going for the other power
weapons). After that is done, your teamates should have gotten the other
weapons, either the shotty or the sniper (depending on whose the best with
which), I like to get the shotty if I can’t get the rockets. Then just sit
back “on your side of the map” and play defence w/ your teamates (cover
eachothers back, mostly). If you don’t stay on your side, then the
ememies will start to spawn on it! Usually this works better if you are
playing with people that you know, but if your team is good and listens to
you, this will always work!

P.S. Keep on fraggin one-legged, purple-bellied squirrels, owned by a
hairy yetti that farms steak-producing cacti, that is soon to be
demolished by Arnold Schwarzenegger, A.K.A. “The Yetti Hunter”... as he
wears his custom made anus armor w/ furry feathers all around. Haha, keep
on fraggin’ trucks, YOU GUYS ROCK!!!

P.S.S. Good job on surviving the bashing that you got when you were on
sarcastic gamer Foo Mo! Also, did you remember to feed Nay-Nay-Jive
today? Remind JVB to feed Nay-NayVB too!

Narrows is one of my favourite maps for matches especially when the game
type is shotty snipers the kills fly in as you can easily pick off the
other team from your teams side, and if one decides to come over you can
chuck a sticky in your cannon and stick em’
i don’t have many tips but i do know there are some hiding spots which
need some technical jumping to get to but i much prefer charging up and
down the mid bridge and pwnin some noobs

my only tip is that you should use your man cannons to your advantage as
if someone sneaks up behind you, you should always be ready to launch
yourself across.

this is my first submission to podtacular so keep up the good work guys

from your listener in Scotland (UK),
Ew0k

p.s don’t forget your anus armour!

Hello again Podtacular. My tip for narrows is a very obscure one. Right in
front of the rocket spawn is a fusion coil. when Someone foolishly rushes
for the rockets, a shot to the fusion coil and then another shot at the
person should take them down. Keep partying anf fragging them trucks.

For a good snipe perch go either sides on the top ramps, before you go into
the doors on left or right and after the two ramps there will be this wall
jutting out where you can nade jump onto this ledge. Which gives you
higher ground instead of staying at the ends where you have low ground.
Also your best friend in this map is the power drainer, for example if you
are rushing guy(s) with snipes stationed at the ends on the top its always
good to through a power drainer and shoot from the sky, and vice versa if
someone is jumping down at you, throw a combo of a power drainer and nade
most prefered is plasma nade.

P.S. SK3TCH since 1998

Hey the podtacular burningottsel here with my tip for Narrows. ok heres
what you do first if you see some one going through the grav lift and your
at the landing spot at the other first let the person see you then hide in
the tunnel next to the landing spot if your facing the landing spothide
behind the right wall as soon as he or she (for the girl gamers on Halo 3)
lands get an assain kill. remember to make sure the person sees you go in
to hideing, this is one of the only times its a good idea to let people
see where your going to hide. thats my Mutiplayer tip of the month and
you’ve just been sarged and to keep it classic keep on fragin trucks that
seem come back like Sargent Johnson. P.S. how much does foo mo jive
charge for anus armours

it’s ZOMG26 with some quick little tips for narrows. this isn’t really my
favorite map to play on, but it’s definitely not my least favorite.
anyway, if you’re playing CTF and you need a quick escape route after
grabbing the flag, you can drop it in the man for a teammate on the other
side to pick up. also, it’s great to have 2 guys on offense and 2 on
defense. team defense should grab the sniper, and offense should get the
shotgun.

anyway, keep on fraggin trucks, as well as purple-bellied mongeese,
ZOMG26

For Snipers, there’s a good camping spot where the ramps on the sides of
the upper bridge are. You can snipe into the side rooms (man cannons and
flag spawns) and have good cover and easy escape if necessary. That’s my
tip and keep on fraggin’ trucks.

ok BEARSFAN125 A.K.A. BEARSFAN126 SIGNING IN
THE BEST SPOTS FOR SNIPING ON NARROWS ARE #1 when you are coming from the back of the map towards were
the mauler spawns when you get to were the mauler is turn to ether side and you will see a small box thingy coming ot of the wall and right be
hind it is a upwards slanting beam jump on the beam and walk up till
the top most times people wont check there. #2 is when your heading towards the enemy base you run and jump after you
pass the ramp
going down closes to the enemy base jump at the last second to get to an
asome
sniping spot. #3 is only possible on fordged maps on narrows what you do is you take a
two way telaporter
and fly as hi as you can and head to the top of ether base only then do
you spawn the telaporter
plase it on top of the base{or bases} adn place a sniper rifle next to the
telaporter adn place anether telaporter in side the map.
ps. it is realy hard to do #2 so dont get mad at your self if you die alot
it takes time to master

KEEP ON FRAGING JACK TOMSON AND THE ALL KNOWING NAYNAY!!!!!!

Hello Podtac! First time contributer, long time listener. I’m here to give
a couple of tips for Narrows. I know your time is as valuable as golden
anus armor, so I’ll try and make this short and sweet. First off, there’s
a little lip behind the plasma nade spawn which you can climb up and use
as a sniper spot. If you’re a good shot, this can really help pin down the
enemy team. Second, if you’re team happens to be on the receiving end
during a Shooty Snipers game, crouch behind the outcropping where the
mauler usually spawns and shotty pwn the other team as they run past
(while sometimes popping out for an occasional snipe). I’ve gotten many a
Killing Spree using this method. Lastly, at the start of a game, try going
up the man cannon and grabbing the opposing team’s SMGs. Usually they
haven’t been picked up, and you can use them to gain valuable firepower.
Well that’s all I got. Keep on fragging rampant zambonies.

Hey podtac, The Bounties is here, never fear.
This isn’t my favorite stage so i’m going to give you some spots for
certain weapons. If you get the sniper stay at the very back of the stage
so you can snipe anyone forom your side of the bridge to the middle. If
you have the Shotgun you should camp next to rocket Launcher spawn
crouched and if you see someone in you radar near you, you can jump out
and get’em. Too many games have been lost from reckless chargeing (TOO
many) please don’t go chargeing. A team that stays back and defends
together will easily take down the other team especially if they have 4
lone wolves. My last tip is look and make sure someone else isn’t about to
take thye man cannon before you take it and if you get unlucky enough to
have a collision with someone, melee him so you get the kill as you fall
to your death. Oh yea don’t fire a rocket launcher at your feet. Keep on fraggin Latin Teachers.

Narrows is a fun map that is a great sniping map. but many people don’t
know this but it is also a great close combat map. I love objective type
games on this map. it is so symmetrical. I don’t however like that when
two people go of different mancannons they collide and die. if you can
grab the shotty congradulations be ready to go and get their flag or
protect the bomb carrier. if there is a good sniper on the other team stay
to the lower level at first then halfway through go up top to keep them
from getting a shot of on you. and sorry that this may be off topic but
some of the other shows on the gamercast network have stopped working on
the Zune marketplace. and for some reason I can’t send them an email. I
was wondering if you could somehow contact them. the podcasts are the
sarcastic gamer and achievment junkie. I really miss them. I really don’t

hey podtac a good startagy for this map is to go up an down. on the second leval all match> ill tell you why most of the time the sniper will get the sniper an run to the top to snipe
because there are many areas on the second leval of narrows to hide an
snipe but on the other hand many people to shoot an if there is they most likely have a shot gun
rockets or the mauler with all halo junkies if you have a AR you will get
(how you say) get your truck fraged if you know what i mean.
theres my tip ( go up go daon simple an killer )

talk to me about it

A few good tips for Narrows is to know where your power weapons spawn.
Default the Rockets spawn in the top middle of the map. Usually there is a
rush to control them. Try to make an effort as a team to gain quick control
of them. Below the Rockets is the shotgun. It’s not too effective b/c
Narrows is such a long map, so I rarely pick it up. If I do I tend to drop
it off the map, so that the other team can not grab it. I like to snipe on
narrows, so I generally hang out more towards the back of the base close
to the man cannon. There is a spot where you can easily camp on the walls
with the sniper. At times it can be a useful spot for picking off people
trying to go for the Rockets, but usually you only draw more attention to
yourself, and get sniped by the other team. The last tip I have for
Narrows is about CTF. In a flag game, if you are trying to take the man
cannon and you’re about to die… Try to toss the flag into the cannon.
The flag will go through the air safely, and land closer to your base.
Most times it is a risky move, but if you can convert it for a flag
capture it’s definetly worth the effort, and it could even cost you the
game.

I’d like to give a quick shout-out to Chuckie J of Godtacular bible study,

Hey what`s up guys, this is Tapio gamertag Poetricks and here are few of my
tips:

1.as soon as match starts,rush for rocketlauncher!
It sounds that everybody will do it,but heres how to make sure you get
it:
Make sure your team mates follow you if you are the one who is trying to
get the rocketlauncher,
big mistake what most people do is just randomly throw nades and shoot
everybody who is near the rocketlauncher,make sure your team mates are
concentrating firepower to enemy who is trying to get to the rockets

Also other way is to just run straight into man cannon and forget rocket
launcher while enemy is getting it,if this works correctly,while you are
in enemy base,enemy is at rocket spawn and by that time.

So if everything goes as plannes,you should have captured flag before
enemy even gets to your base,or theyr own base.

2.Dont take the sniper to the enemy base!
Biggest mistake what most players do,is that when they need to rush to
enemy base,they take sniper with them.
Have patient,dont rush!
Best way to use sniper,is to make sure that your team mate or you will
bring the objective under the rocket launcher spawn area.
In that area you can easily snipe enemy`s who try to attack your base.

3.If you need to grab enemy flag,dont just rush in as a team.
Go in as a wave!
First have somebody go from the middle,soon as enemy team starts firing
have people going in from man cannon and from the side,that way enemy is
packed in small area and that will most likely confuse them all and you
can grab the flag in peace.

4.If you have anus armor,dont worry you already won the match

Keep on stretching until you can teabag yourself and see how it feels
like

Keep up the good work guys,i love the show

it seems that no body uses the roket launcher. I think it is b/c nobody
nows where it is(noobs) .to get the rockets, just go on top of the middle
barracade in the middle of the stripe down the middle. also on narrows
their is a great sniping spot on the side of the brute shot and
oversheild.get in the room were the mauler is and the wall across from the
man cannon room is a ramp. go up that ramp and get ur sniper out for some
major headshots.

hey podtacular i have tips for snipers on narrows! when the game starts go
to the side and get the sniper once you have it head over to the side
hallways. from there you have great sniping potential. hope you enjoy.
Zangor13 out

keep on fraggin JVB’s mom

Got a tip for narrows here,

Ok, so when the game starts, rush forwars and to the right. Grab two
glowing blue skulls and run at the rocket spawn. Throw one skull over the
platform and one on it. This shoulf foil and enemy atempt at the happy
cannon.

Short and gothic.

Here is a list of things which a player has to do in order to survive a
multiplayer match…

(note: This guide is based from what i learned from Halo PC, but I think
it can apply to Halo3.)
1. During an all out sniper match, never stay still!!! If u do you will
just fall prey to the accuracy of a sniper( unless he has terrible aim or
his mouse/ controller is broke).
2. Use your allies wisely, for with dem u can form attack plans or use dem
as distractions or human sheilds…
3. When u spawn RUN!!! People w/ snipers can kill you easy or campers who
just kill you w/ melee based weapons.
4. Drive like Dukes of Hazzard. (This rule mostly applys if you don’t have
a passenger, unless he’s sum kind of hotshot gunner)
5. Never walk up to a person w/ a grav hammer.. (its quite obvious why)
6. Frag like ders no tommorow. (works w/ infinite grenades on)
7. Don’t goof around. Why? because it
would wreck your reputation as a player (escpcially if you hav a high
rank). Goof off all you want if ur just using lan and playing ONLY w/ your
friends…
8. Jump around alot. As like in any FPS game you can see people jumping
while u wast all ur ammo trying to kill him (self explenatory).
9. Don’t waste ammo. Even though u think ders guns littlered everywher on
the map, it is still important because when u need it the most u are
assured u hav a couple of clips left and u won’t die. (not always)

I say, Keep on Fragging n00bs who can’t drive, shoot, fly, play, swim, die
and think properly especially NAYNAY who is still missing while climbing w/
da Yetis while also fragging da Bungie staff cuz he/ she can’t have anus
armor.. For anyone who has seen, eaten, shot, drove over and killed NAYNAY plz.
send me his/ her dead body to the Philippines AIRMAILED in a coffin full
of plasma grenades.. Thank You

a cool tip is when you
go to the side with the man cannon and it is not the blue looking side it
is the goldish side. so you man cannon to the goldside and then look to
your right there is a structure with a lot of ramp looking things and you
jump on the little thing that keeps you from falling off then jump in the
ramp structure then it is a cool spot to camp at for a odball or
infection.

The bubble shield is the best piece of equipment to have, as it can act as
both a bubble and a shield, and therefore is helpful in any situation. It
would be wise to always switch out other equipment for it. This is a good
tip for any map that has a bubble shield on it.

Hey, Foo mo 7dc here is a tip for ya.If you are reloading press b and you
have a 5% chance that your weapon will be fully loaded. This would be good
if you have a shotgun or brute shot surpisingly.Also, if you think head
with a SR are good.Try shooting them in the crotch it work.I have no idea
what happens if they are a girl so don’t ask cause it’ll be disturbing and
confusing at the same time. Keep fragg’in trucks and sing about missle
pods.

P.S.It was sanctuary you were thinking of JVB.

There are 2 ways

1. Person is firing, but not boosting.

Solution: Jump over his bullets and land to his far left or right and use
a portable gravity lift to unbalance him then use a weapon such as the
Battle Rife or Carbine to take him out.

2. Person is boosting, trying to run you down.

Solution: Jump over him right before he can hit you and chuck a grenade,
preferably a Plasma Grenade or Spike Grenade and catch the bonnet of the
Ghost. It should take it out. Or, jump-sidestep the ghost and shoot the
person in the head or hit the ‘gas tank’ on the right side. It should take
them out.

NEXT WEEK: How to use a bombard effectively.

A good idea
if you have the sniper on ANY map is to move every kill so the nub u just
pwned wont be able to find you. Also if you are zoomed out with the sniper
just melee to zoom out…..Its quicker. If some guy named Nay-Nay tries to
kill you when you have the sniper go up close, face him and shoot once
and follow it up with a quick melee. His dead, lifeless corpse should fall
to the ground. Proceed to teab4g him and do what you wish.

Hey Podtacular this is lancer47, (I do not have Xbox Live just a little heads up but I will get it soon.) I have a couple general multiplayer tips (but some are for Guardian and I know that you had done Guardian tips already) I could give you and a map idea that you can have for Xbox Live. Tips:
(Sorry if these tips have been said already.)

1. Using the regenerator can be good just to regenerate your shields but when someone gets into the regenerator DO NOT shoot at them their shields are just going to stay the same instead melee them and their shields will go down faster and you can kill them faster.

2. On Guardian the camouflage and the over shield after they are taken they take 3 minutes to respawn.

3. The shooting in Halo 3 is the same as Halo 1. You need to lead your shots. Example: when you use a BR and when someone is moving aim ahead of the person and you will hit the person rather than aiming directly on their head.

4. When using the Bubble Shield some people stand in it but use it as another type of shield. Stand outside of it and sometime the other person won�t be able to shot at you. But you can throw a grenade before the other person gets through the shield and kill them or stick them with a plasma grenade.

5. On Guardian where the over shield is with default weapons, or items, there will be a small corner on the top of the room. If you crouch jump in there you can stay there and someone that is coming into the room you will be safe because it might be the least obvious place for people to look for you.

Forge Map

Since Halo 3 has all the weapons from Halo 1 to Halo 3 I had an Idea. I used High Ground for the map. I took all the weapons from Halo 1 including the Fuel Rod Cannon and The Flame Thrower, they were both in the PC version of Halo 1, and I put the all the Halo 1 weapons, items and vehicles at the beach part of the map. And there should only be over shields and camouflage at the beach part too. And for the Halo 2 and Halo 3 weapons, items and vehicles and I put them on the other side of the map. And I added the items too like the Bubble Shield and the Energy Drainer. And I set up the teleports like in Blood Gulch because Blood Gulch is a popular map in Halo 1. So I hope this idea gets on Xbox Live because I think I have a good idea but I want to share it with more than just my friends.

Good job with the Podcasts and keep on fraging trucks.

One of the most overused weapons in Halo 3 is the Gravity Hammer, It is
used primarily as a stand-in fro the Sword if it is not present. I have
two ways of defeating anyone with such a weapon, not including running.

1. Use a rapid fir weapon and sweep upward from chest to face, this aught
to destroy their shields and the headshot will kill them. Dual SMGs or
Spikers are good for this. Dual Maulers works also, but has a chance on
not being effective if the player you are trying to kill is at medium
range.

2. Use a portable grav lift and jump yourself backwards and throw a sticky
grenade at the same time. This will normally kill them but if you miss,
just use way #1 and you will be safe.

To counter the Mongoose and Gravity Hammer Drive-By, do this.

When person is speeding towards you, use a weapon like the Carbine or
Sniper Rife to shoot out the driver, then sidestep as the Mongoose slides
onwards past you and melee the Hammer guy as he flies past you. Or, the
easier way, just stick them and blow them both up.


Wrap up
