Arrowhead896

Hi Podtac!

This is Arrowhead896 and I hope I can finally clear up the confusion between the game and the book. (note: this is taken from Halopedia, and it’s based on the dates given in both the book and the game, the level is in brackets[]).

July 24, 2552: Winter Contigency happens. [Winter Contingency] July 26, 2552: Sword Base is attacked by Covenant. [ONI: Sword Base] August 12, 2552: Spire is attacked and the Supercarrier is revealed. [Tip of the Spear] August 14, 2552: Supercarrier destroyed by Slipspace bomb. Jorge dies. [Long Night of Solace] August 23, 2552: Noble 6 assists UNSC forces in evacuating civilians from New Alexandria. [Exodus] August 26, 2552: Noble Team extracted from New Alexandria. Kat dies. [New Alexandria] August 29, 2552: Noble Team retakes Sword Base and meets Dr. Halsey. [The Package] August 30, 2552: 0447 hours: Remote Scanning Outpost Fermion detects incoming Covenant ships (note: this is when the battle in ”The Fall of Reach” starts) 0637 hours: Master Chief returns from mission to destroy data on station. 0647 hours: Dr. Halsey calls Pillar of Autumn back to Reach. 1652 hours: Noble Team proceeds to Aszod Shipbreaking yards. Pillar of Autumn leaves Reach and jumps to the first Halo ring. [Pillar of Autumn] 2000 hours: Noble 6 dies. [Lone Wolf]

Sorry for the long submission, but I hope it helped clear up some of the story issues.

Hey Podtacular, I was on the forums and I posted a question to everyone asking if they would enjoy Firefight DLC and after just a couple hours I read that most either were not interested or would consider getting it. What are your thought on Firefight DLC? If Firefight DLC was released, what would you want?

Well, here I am! The majority has come to submit her opinions! Alas, I have finally attained Reach and Love Love LOVE it! Campaign was an A+ and the new maps…..Mmmmm….Yummy…..
I played with my father and one of his friends (and OWNED them with melees) and I had splendid flash backs of Halo 2! Ahh, if only I didn’t need school….Well, thank you for your time and your welcome for mine! ^_^

Oh hi guys, it’s PunxsatownyPhil, the groundhog that be chill. I bring you news that you’ve probably heard by now! 343 is making a Halo 1 remake in the Reach engine! I can imagine that Dusty is a bit hesitant to accept that it will be good, while Brent and/or GLewis will be more enthusiastic. Here’s a linky!

Just scroll down on it a bit. Anyway, if it’s true, it will be THE EPIC SAUCINESS. I dunno lol. Keep on fraggin’ trucks.

Hello Podtacular, I have been listening for a while while mowing the lawn in the summer or splitting wood in the Winter, but this is my first submission. In an earlier podcast Dustin said his height was 6’5”. Are you good at basketball?
By the way, keep fraggin Leeroy Jenkins for getting his team killed.

The game I’m looking forward to the most is Dragon Age II. The first game was awesome. It has one of the best storylines ever. I spent over 200 hours in this game and it's one of the rare games that I’m not sad I spent over $100 dollars on.

The second game would have to be Portal 2. It will probably be one of the best games this year and I can’t wait.

Keep on fraggin' trucks Soccersac out.

tim x 222

Hey there guys. It’s Tim x 222 with a large submission for you to read. Perfect grammar and spelling included. I have multiple points and will put them in a list.

1. My friend and I are having yet another debate over Halo vs. COD. If the Call of Duty brought COD into the Halo world, he says COD would win because A, if one knocked over a 1,000+ lbs. Halo guy, the Halo guy couldn’t get up, B, Halo weapons are no different than modern ones, and C, cod guys can run faster. Little help?

2. The highest reach rank is Inheritor. The highest rank reached legitimately is Eclipse. It is 45th out of 50.

3. Last my contribution to top games of 2010. First is halo reach. Second is Black Ops, only on this list because zombies is epic.
