It seemed like Tie-Tacular!
Pretty much the motto of our matches. We lost one, but tied 2. So all in all they won.
It was a good match. I had a lot of fun and I’m sure everyone else did.
That’s right, it is finally official, Bungie has a real, live Twitter account. Ignore the fakers or follow the accounts that just repeat RSS feeds, its up to you. But you must follow the real thing!
Also IGN (and no doubt other sites by now) have posted a live-action ODST trailer reminiscent of the ones that came out before Halo 3 talking about the panorama and museum.
For those watching the stream last night, you’ll know that ODST was the big attraction of the night. GLewis, Brent and I got on main stage off to the left of the player booths and got into a few nice pics on MLGPro.com. This one is Brian Jarrard from Bungie who I actually got to talk to during the ODST event. You can find more pictures at MLGPro.com We’re having tons of fun and we’re throwing videos up on livestream as fast as we can. Be sure to keep watching as once there’s enough videos up, those will be the only ones playing and we want to see what you think in the chat.
GLewis, Brent Gamer and I are here in Dallas for MLG Dallas and we are going to be releasing clips throughout the event, so make sure you keep up with the Podtacular twitter account and keep an eye on livestream.com for a couple of live events. We will be recording MLG Live someday this weekend, which will be live.
The Halo 3 Wheelmen are a clan from the Good Game Network and our veteran clan leader JP Oliver took on the large task of planning this event before school started back up for most people. Thankfully, he pulled it off! We had enough players that we could rotate some people in and out but not as many as were expected, based on sign-ups.
In both games, it came down to power weapon and vehicle control, as most Halo 3 matches do. A bubble shield does not a victory make.
First up was Team Slayer on Standoff and the Wheelmen lived up to their name. One warthog and a laser was really all they needed to keep us hiding in the base and quickly killed when we ventured out or spawned outside. H3WM Psyfireman proved his Wheelmanly-ness with a staggering 22 Wheelman medals. Final score: Podtac – 22, H3WM – 50
Next, we played Neutral Assault on Rat’s Nest and our trouble controlling the map and weapons showed again. In a short amount of time, we were overwhelmed. Final score: Podtac – 0, H3WM – 3
These were followed by some mixers where the clans shuffled together and we played odd games like Territories on Guardian. Much fun was had.
We certainly hope to do better in the next match, which should be very soon. Discuss the results in the forums…
For those of you who visit the forums regularly, there has been a new addition to the site. As some of you will remember from the old site, everyone had their own blogs and with the site change, the blogs were lost. The forums now have a blog section where everyone has a blog. I hope this is a suitable replacement for everyone. There’s a link in the forums or you can go to https://www.podtacular.com/forums/blog.php. Happy blogging.
We heard it was coming and now its here, a new ViDoc from Bungie features everyone’s favorite manly-man, Sgt. Johnson, giving the full lowdown on Firefight. Of course, he does not neglect to mention that those who pre-order ODST (from participating retailers) will get the ultimate confidence booster, namely himself in the Fight. He also reveals that there are 10 Firefight maps!
