Reach Tales

I was an Elite. I pwned. I killed. I got a blind-lucky-one-sticky-triplekill. I was an Elite. Also I dueled a spartan, (you know...a swordfight).....guess who won? It was pretty awesome, his final moments...remembered forever. Keep on fragging non-believers, who won't go see PREDATORS, and claim it will suck. Then they can fear my laser-face! Shoutouts to everyone at Podatcular, great people, great community, great fun. odstspartan55x standing down.

What’s up Podtacular! A lot has happened since I last submitted! It was one heck of a day when the Halo Reach Beta servers crashed on the first day! I spent over thirty minutes in the matchmaking lobby before I got to play my first game, and I know many others had to deal with the same thing. I have some pretty epic memories of the Beta. I got two triple-kills in a row in my second game of team SWAT on Swordbase. It was because the other team kept coming up the ‘lemon/lime’ airlift! Armor-lock was pretty cheap. Whenever someone tried to melee me, especially if they had a sword, I’d just lockdown when they hit me, force them back as I came out of lockdown, and then finish them off with a quick melee! I loved the plasma pistol because newbs who hadn’t used it yet underestimated me when they saw me wielding it. But as soon as you start spamming that thing, it’s all over for your enemy. I even fought someone who was using the focus rifle in mid-range, and still killed them with the green-gun! Playing as an elite was a revolutionary experience for me because I usually hate those stupid dinosaurs! But when it comes to close range combat, elites have the advantage against spartans because of their dodging ability! And elites can escape from exploding ‘nades a lot better also. But human weapons are still the boss (except for the AR, it was downgraded big time!). I made some pretty stupid mistakes in the Beta, too. Once, I was playing generator defense, and when I was an elite, I rushed forward across the bridge. But as I got to the other side, I heard something shooting down with a violent screaming wind. But by the time I realized what was about to happen, it was as if I had been struck by a meteor as the weapon-drop crashed down right beside me, and it made me collapse right on the spot! Another unfortunate event was during a game of invasion slayer. It was hard to see a teammate’s NAV point when they were inside a vehicle. One of my friends was in a banshee and just barely got away from a fight. As I came outside the base where the ‘core’ would usually spawn at, I turned the corner and saw a banshee heading towards me. My first reaction was to shoot it. I only shot two rounds into it with my DMR and then it blew up like a firework. My friend like “what the freak just happened?” and I was laughing out loud and saying “I DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS YOU!” rofl… That’s my collection of tales for the Halo Reach Beta! And by the way, did you hear about the next pokemon games, pokemon “Black” and “White”? They’re supposed to ship this fall! Looks like more pokemon stat-sheets for the future, huh Dusty and Brent? And a new version of Thunder Cats is supposed to air on Cartoon Network soon! I hope it doesn’t suck like the remake of He-Man did. Well see you peeps later! THUNDER CATS! HOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Hey guys, I'm in a rush so I'll just say that there was this one time that I was assassinating someone and they were at an angle on a pillar that my arm hit it and didn't kill them. I got killed confused and angered. This wasn't reality and it was supposed to work. I would think that since it's a video game it would work. Anyways there was another time where there was a chain of assassinations, then a guy armourlocked and broke the chain and then killed us all. He laughed at us. KoFT. (Keep on Fragging Trucks)

Hey Podtac! It's the awesome Halo Chef Bporce with my latest and greatest Reach Tales! Okay. So it's on Boneyard, and I'm an elite. Now I'm in a banshee owning some Spartan noobs and helping the ground squad get the core to the evac zone, when all of a sudden, a Spartan comes and kills them all. Believe it or not, the core was actually INSIDE the evac zone, but we didn't score. So, being the good Samaritan I am, I flew down, splattered a guy, and took the core in for the win! It was awesome! Okay, but as a side note, that whole thing about the Halo CD Key? Well it turns out Bungie made it so that in order to get Halo Custom Edition, you had to have your original CD Key. Plus, I just watched the original E3 launch trailer for HALO CE, and I have to say, if they kept half the things in the trailer, HALO would've been even cooler! There were swords, and animals, and water... It was cool... So yeah, see you on the flippity-flip, and keep on fragging trucks! Oh, but last thought. I'm about two-thirds of the way done with the Musical Script, so when I'm done, I'll e-mail you the document. :D
