Podtacular Show Notes

Custom and Call-ins (Episode 35)

Custom Games

it’s a team slayer game, with overshields and damage resistance on. Put score to unlimited and set friendly fire off. Vehicles on maps should be all warthogs and tanks. Set primary weapon to rockets and secondary to sentinel beam just because the beams are cool. This game is played on any large map with good hills, my favorite is coagulation. The object is for everyone to get on the same team so you don’t kill each other (I guess one person needs to be on the opposite team to keep the game going) and get both tanks to a hill. The one beside the rocks on red base on coagulation is a good one. Have two people aim the tanks at the tip of the hill and have 3 or 4 people aim their rockets around the same place. Then load up some warthogs, drive over the hill, and right before the back wheels leave the ground shoot under them to send it flying. This may seem complicated but it’s not once you got it down. It’s fun to play with friends at 2 in the morning when you need a break from the killing. You can mix it up and try to shoot the warthog of the air with the tanks while is spinning out of control. My friends and I played this on Halo 1 and got out of blood gulch. Keep up the great work.

this game is called “F R” and is a multi-flag ctf game. the shields are off, extra damage is on, there are human turrets on each base, battle rifle and magnum as weapons, starting grenades, warthog, gauss hog, no banshee, no tank, flag holder has damage resistance and doesn’t run slowly, there is never a flag indicator to cause confusion, the score to win is 1, the respawn time is 20 seconds to piss off your friends, 15 second suicide penalty, 2 minute team killing penalty to add to the aggravation, friendly fire on, no respawn for vehicles to make sure that they are used a bit more conservatively, rifles as weapons on map, half weapon respawn time, and that is about it. It’s crazy because you feel like crap after waiting two minutes to respawn just for accidentaly running over a team mate who jumped in front of your hog. it is also how you feel when you stupidly charge the turret, get your team killed by one guy with a battle rifle, or find your defense of 4 people obliterated by two grenades. it happens to be funner with friends sitting in the room with you since you can watch them freak out or laugh their heads off, and it is possible to physically harm deserving players immediately for transgressions. it is not as fun on live, and if you have less then 8 people total it is not that fun. it is completely unplayable with less than four people, but if you can get a couple xboxs together you will find it to be DEEPLY satisfying.

Level: Foundation
Settings: No Shield Brute Shots only Set time to whatever ( preferably 5 minutes) Unlimited kill limit Rules: Teams go to opposite sides and start shooting each other with brute shots when players are ready. You cannot cross to their side ( use the middle structure as the marker). You can go to the bottom but it will be harder to kill people. This game is really cool if there are 8 vs. 8 and people actually listen to the rules.

It’s played just like swat, cept no teams, shields, motion detector, and all weapons are random. Also, no kill or time limit. I like to play this on Lockout, me and my friend, kowa, played this for a llllllllooooooooonnnnnnngggggggg time. Got up to 6000 in score, so yea, sign guests on for no apparent reason to kill them, and its good to work on BR and snipin.


Tales from the fox hole

Modding is actually really cool, if it stays where it belongs, i’ve personally played in a couple of custom games with mods in them, its fun to screw around in flying warthogs and airstrike rocket launchers. However, if you have a mod and you take it past the realm of system link and custom games, and bring it to matchmaking, no offense, but we all hate you. You then bring modding where it doesnt belong, like a guy in the girls bathroom or something. So, if you think its cool to cheat in matchmaking and get to level 50. This is Podtaculalr, and we WILL find you. Thanks all

new funniest gamertag I’ve actually seen: PlumpRooster. What the hell??!!
