News and Events

Hey Foo Mo Jive, this is Maltese Idiot, I just want to submit the news about the amazing article. Apparently a couple maps are done. I hear the sniper is going to be a longer ranged weapon, new medium rage rifle (battle rifle?), sticky grenades apparently look amazing too. Theres a map with two opposing grav lifts, which sounds cool. If possible could you say my Gamertag on air, thats much appreciated! It’s Maltese Idiot Thanks

sorry maltese idiot we forgot to say your gamertag online. next time we’ll do that.


Glitchtacular

In halo 2 on multiplier, if you are holding an energy sword and the aimer turns red, quickly pull the left trigger and for some reason you fly towards the enemy and have a high possibility of instantly killing them. I know it sounds sort of weird, so you will have to try it to see hat I mean. It might work in campaign, but i haven’t tried it yet! this entry was spel-checked in memory of our old friend splee-cheeks

The Glitch, Get under Turf Alive in a Spectre.

Take the Spectre, and Park it over a Broken Turret on Turf, and Then get a Guy in the Turret, No Driver, or Passangers. Anyways, Smack It Twice, So it is up against the Wall, and then when the Turret comes Back, It should Push you right through the Ground. As long as you dont get out, you will fall forever. (Note: You MUST Have Overshield On.)

At the start of the map outskirts, you will be in a room with wreckage from your downed pelican everywhere, and only one exit. Take that exit, kill the grunt, and then look up. There should be something that resembles a sky light (or rather just a hole in the ceiling). Jump onto the protruding step just below the opening and then jump out. You are now on top of the map Outskirts. Now just grenade jump up to the next ledge and have fun exploring the vast expanse of rooftops and hidden areas. I found one area only accessible from the top of the map, where Bungie actually stacked
boxes for you to get out if you fell in…weird huh! Plus, you can bypass the whole mission (even the hunters) all the way to the Hotel Zanzibar. Have fun, plus this is only one of like 10 ways I found to get out of the map on both Outskirts and Metropolis.

hey. this is penguin smacker. i have an awesome glitch for non-upgraded halo 2 gamers. you’ve probably already heard of it. the glitch is flying on coag. first you need 2 players, one needs a sword. second you need a warthog. drive the hog to a good open space with nothing in the way. then the guy with the sword needs to get in the passenger seat. the other guy needs to stand within lunging range of the sword guy. when the reticle turns red, the sword guy presses the right trigger. the lunge sound should be heard but nothing else will happen. then the guy outside the hog should run somewhere on the map so the guy in the hog can see him without moving his vision. the outside guy can also use a banshee to get to the top edge of the map by the cliffs surrounding the area. then, the hog guy gets out and “ba-bam!”, he should fly towards to other guy. remember, if you have
the 1.1 upgrade, this WON’T WORK. PERIOD. also, while you’re at it, you could also do the ring of fire. get a player of the opposite team in a warthog and lock on with rockets. when you hear the beeping noise, move the reticle the the left or right of the hog and let the trigger go. the rocket will circle around the hog. well, thats it. oh, yeah, lol (little oscilating ladies). kepp on fraggin trucks!!!!

Hey guys i have a glitch for you. its the BR guardian glitch. You should have a br as your starting weapon and any other weapon as your second. you shoot the br twice really fast that only 1 round comes out. then, you quickly switch to your secondary weapon and if you do this correctly you will get shot and it will say “you were killed by the guardians”


Podtacular night at the apollo

You Know you play too much Halo2 when you sit down for dinner with your family and you see a targeting rectile…and if that not bad enough it turns red when u look at your little sister

Your MOM is so fat she gets stuck from anywere on the map. Your MOM is so fat you commit suicide whenever you kill her with rockets.

Your MOM is so fat that she needs five overshields.
Your MOM is so fat she can’t be sniped in the head. Your MOM is so fat she can defend the WHOLE base.

You know you cheat at Halo 2 too much when you run out of two months, your friends who give you two month accounts run out, and you resort to randomly messaging people in AIM to get one.

As I send you this I’m talking to a guy who’s screenname is staticblade989 He says he doesn’t have the money to pay for a normal account so he is asking for two months my question is if he’s not using these to cheat like he says why is it so hard for him to get them I buy a game about once every week and a half let alone two months…

P.S. I’m on Episode 75 of my marathon listening and you’re all going DOWN!!!!

You know you have played too much halo 2 when you jump on your dog thinking “if it dies it will re spawn”

You know you listen to too much podtacular when your teacher asks you if you used spell check on a hand-written assignment or test. You know you’ve been playing too much halo if you downloaded the Halo or
covenant font and made it the default font on your computer.

You know you play too much Halo when you have time to listen to the Halo soundtrack everyday. You don’t play enough Halo if you don’t know what the noob combo is.

you know you play too much halo 2 if

1) ...You walk around school practicing your BXR combination

2) ...You yell ‘HAX’ when your girlfriend breaks up with you

You know you play too much Halo 2 when you mod.

You know you listen to Podtacular too much when you say BaBam to every response.

You know you play too much Halo 2 when you have a Master Chief poster on top of your bed so he can protect you from the covenant when you’re
asleep.

friend’s house who doesn’t have live and hold the white button on co-op to talk to him. Yo Mama is so fat that when she gets in teh Scorpian, she takes up all the side spots. Yo mama is so stupid that she actually looks for Ling Ling’s head. If none of you know what this is, then set your dashboard’s date to 7/07/07 and go to Zanzibar. There will be a bloody dog head on the beware of sharks sign and it will say “Are you finding Ling Ling’s head?”

You know you play campaing when you go through the levels naming every covenant you kill or see

One time I was in a matchmaking game in team hardcore and I came across two people that had some funny gamertags. One of them was “Your mom walks funny”, and the other one was “because he did her”..what was funny about it was that a few games before that I played against someone that had a gamertag that was “I did your mom”. Well guys, keep on froggin’ tracks.

You know you’re playing against a noob when he says, “Oh no! It is the blue
screen of death! I must restart my XBOX!”

You know you don’t know much about the science of XBOX Live when you
always ask, “If it goes into the blue screen when the host quits, then why
does the host always quit?”

You know you’re playing against a noob when the noob asks, “Oh hey! I’m only playing bad because I’m lagging! See, I can’t even pick up our flag!”

Ok, I know this glitch where you scope in on your mom, and it makes the lens crack!

1.You know you play to much halo 2 when your american history teacher is talking about how a french general showed colonists close combat
strategies in the revolutionary war and you ask your teacher if he showed them how to BXR.

2.You know you are good at halo 2 when your level gets so high there is a picture of foo mo jive next to your name instead of a number or other symbol.

3.Yo momma is so dumb she thought SWAT had somthing to do with flies.

p.s. probebly the funniest gamertag i’v seen is soft dog poo and our very own butt nacho

You know you’ve been playing too much Halo 2 if you consider modding a drug.

YOu know you’ve been playing too much Halo 2 if you crouch in corners and try to jump higher.

You know you’ve been playing too much Halo 2 if you write your gamertag instead of your name for survey.

Hey guys. I just wanted to tell you about a funny gamertag i came across. One day i was doing Team Slayer and some guy named Quagmire Giggidy got put on my team. I broke out laughing and missed like the first 30 seconds of the game because i was on the floor. There you go. Awesome show. Keep up the goos work.

Hey Podtacular, just wanted to share a funny gamertag that I encountered one day in matchmaking. I was playing Team Slayer and got matched with a player whose gamertag was: Plasma Poot. I thought it was awesome, so I am sharing it with you guys.

As I was looking through my closet, I came across a time machine named the X-Lax 3000. When I activated the X-Lax, I was swept into a time portal and taken to the year 2552. I met up with some UNSC marines, and they handed me this Marine Newsletter to take back to my time. Here are the contents of the Newsletter:

Monday – Marines, bring your cowboy hat to work for Marine Cowboy Day! Ghey Marines can bring their butt-less chaps if they wish to.

Tuesday – Corporal Perez will be giving a speech on proper usage of
Covenant weapons found on the battlefield. Needler usage will not be
included in the lecture, because if the only weapon you have is a Needler, you’re screwed anyway.

Wednesday – Meatloaf day in the Cafeteria. Sneak a sandwich in for
dinner.

Thursday – Sniper training in Combat Training Zone Alpha. Yelling
“No-Scope!” is pointless, because we can see that you’re looking through you’re scope anyway.

Friday – There will be a USO Comedy Show featuring Jerry Seinfeld in the North Auditorium. Yeah, we thought that he’d be dead by now too.

Saturday – Computer stations will be open for free internet usage. Or you can go out and try to get a date. The first option will probably be more successful though.

Sunday – Sgt Johnson will be giving a Sunday Morning sermon on how the Lord works in mysterious ways. Tank Training will follow, along with a class on why ladies like armor plating.

Some funny Gamertags I have seen is Peckerslappedu, Manbearpig, White
Power, CondaleezaRize, Sock Stuffer (you might guess as to what that
means), German Nazi, Stubbedmytoe, jerrycurls, pantyline, and Anitahenjob.

Your Foot
Crippled Mexicans
A Blind Orphan
A twelve Inch Dildo
God
Jesus
Customer Service
DoomedApplePie
DarthJesus
A heart attack
A moving target
AIDS
A meatball
An aroused Emu
A blind kitty
Bill Cosby
SparkleOfDoom
Freddy, again

Pancakes of Wrath

Your momma’s so fat, when she falls through the map while Ytrying to do a superbounce, she kills the guardians.

Your momma’s so fat, when she rides in the warthog, it becomes a low
rider.

Your momma’s so fat, when you try to board her in the banshee, it says “hold x to get this fat mother effer out of me”

Your momma’s so fat, when she goes into the water on Zanzibar, the entire map floods and everyone dies.

You know you’re a noob when you try to get in the two trucks on turf.

Your momma’s so ugly, she’s the reason why the train at Terminal never stops.

I have a (in my opinion) funny gamertag for you. I was playing on Halo 2 on Matchmaking, I was killed, and it said: “You were killed by a Noob”.

It turns out the guy made his gamertag “a Noob”.

You know you play too much halo 2 when you have more that 3 halo
2 discs, I do!

You now your a noob when you use the noob combo in a swat game.

Alright, I’ve seen a lot, but forget some. Last night I was playing with Homemade Cheerios. “YOU GOT OWNED BY HOMEMADE CHEERIOS!!!”
