I have two stories of when a perfection had slipped out of my grasp.

The first one was on Social Slayer with a guest. It was on Construct. I
had a BR and a Mauler up on top of one of the purple lifts, and I was
looking down for anyone coming up. 3 guys came up and I went back to take
them all out with my Mauler – triple kill. At this point I had no deaths
and a Killing Frenzy, and low shields. Then my guest (who was on my team)
came up to where I was with a flamethrower and thought “Oh, I might just
torch the first person I come across!”. And within seconds I was dead.

The second time was BRs on Blackout on ranked team slayer. I was playing
with my brother and my dad 3v3. My team had set up on the BR tower, and I
had about 11 kills and no deaths, and my brother was something like that as
well. Then all 3 guys rush from sword side. I turned around and jumped
back…OFF THE EDGE!! At the end of the game, my brother got my perfection
:( :( :(

Well, thatabout wraps up my post. Keep on fraggin’ folding bikes

suddenly double kill, SWING, triple kill, CLASH, overkill. i had
receivedthe achievments triple kill, over kill and steppin razor with 3
swings of my sword for a 3 for 15g’s .

X The Jakkal X

Hey it’z X The Jakkal X here. I just wanted to share a tale from the
foxhole.

I was playing DLC Big Team on the afternoon of Dec 26, 2008, and it was
Big Team Slayer on Standoff. As I was looking at the ranks of the opposing
team, I thought that we had this one in the bag. But unfortunately, our
team was made up of a bunch of n00bs (except for one other guy). Despite my
viscous slaying and desperate struggle to keep my team afloat, we remained
just a few points below that of the opposing team. The game began to enter the final act, and I was starting to lose hope.
But as it got down to the final 10 or 15 points, however, we clinched the
lead! The lead kept alternating between them and us, but I had confidence
in my (and my fellow non-n00b also on our team)’s slaying power with the
BR. In the final moments of the game, we snatched a 100-98 victory. The
other team-carrier that I previously referred to is Norm22. He went +17 kd,
and I went +16. Big shoutouts to him! (Oh, and some big shoutINS to the
n00bs on our team that brought our team down. Get some training.
Seriously.)

Thanks for reading my send-in, PodTac. I just applied to be in the Rec
Clan, and I plan to become active in the community. I love the podcast.
Keep it up.

Hey Podtacular DeathByTheMorning here and i have a quick tale from the
foxhole for u ok so it was team slayer on the pit and my team was down
20-17 so i went and got the shotty and a regenerator and camped in the
sword room while the sword was still there so noobs who like the sword
would run in and get shotty’d in the face soon i was on a 18 kill spree cuz
they didnt have mikes and couldnt communicate. So now our team is up 49-24

keep up the good work i less-than-three u all. Keep on fraggin trucks.

fOe KaNaRy

Hey Podtacular this is fOe KaNaRy with a tale from the foxhole. A couple of
days ago I was playin social slayer with some friends it was slayer on the
pit and it looked like we would win, we were blue team. The other team took
control of the sword room and started camping. They soon took the lead and
we finally took back our control over the sword room at 49-47 in their
favor. We got the score up to 49-49 and everything slowed down. I was
standing on the mauler spawn and giving cover fire for my team mates with
my special assault rifle, I also had the sword. I was firing at a guy when
out of the corner of my eye i spotted a nade coming towards me the nade
took away almost all of my shields and as i backed up i drew my sword as my
attacker jumped through the mauler spawn he started firing at me and took
out my shields as i lunged at him we both hit eachother at the same time,
this is the freaky part, we both died and the end score said 50-50, it also
said red team won. This was the closest halo game I have ever played. I
have a clip of the ending and the entire game on my fileshare. The clip is
called insane!, and the game is called insane game. Shoutouts to my buddy
Druryfan20, AoOutten, and the Godtacular crew. Keep on fraggin noobs who
betray their teammates with a shotgun in the sword room of the pit.

I’d like Crypto to read this, since it’s long.

Hi, this is Leonidas117, staff at GamerChiefs.com. My gamertag is
Alaki117. I’ve been an avid listener since the Habenero Halo episode, 125.
Posting for the 4th time. Hopefully being read for the first.

I’ve got a fairly interesting tale from the foxhole.
I was playing on the Legendary Brawl weekend back in like July, I was
trying to get my 20 Skill in the playlist. I was at about 18, and we were
playing Mosh Pit on Rats Nest. It was about 35 seconds from the end game,
and I was 15 seconds behind the leader, who was in the pit. He cleared the
space where the ghost spawns, and I had just splattered a couple of people
with my mongoose. I came in full speed into the pit, jumping out and my
mongoose slid away, behind the leader. I threw a trip mine on reflex as the
ghost came careening down the path,and instead of hitting the ghost, it
bounced into the still sliding mongoose, blowing it up. The mongoose
flipped through the air, slamming into the leader, and then I hit the ghost
aside with the hammer, making it explode. I then pulled ahead to win the
match with about 6 seconds between the 2nd place, the one I splattered. I
don’t have a video of this in my FileShare.

Another, more recent tale was in the Social Slayer playlist, in a Team
Special Assault Rifle game. I was the top scoring, and our team was on the
way to victory. I had just gotten a stick kill, and rushed to the other
half of the map. A guest of on of the other teams player’s stepped out from
behind a wall and pulled out his assault rifle (The boring kind) and
started firing at me. I rushed hm with my special assault rifle and fired 2
bursts before I reached him I leapt over his head, and turned around and
got ready for a backsmack, when I stopped in wonder as he looked up and
kept firing, as though I was still there! Once he figured out where i went
he turned around and fired a full clip of ammo beside me as I dodged him,
then took him out with a double melee. I went back in theater and laughed
like crazy for a few minutes as I replayed it. It’s in my FileShare as
Where is he?

I have my newly forged FFA/TS map Twisted in my share, if anyone would
like to go check it out. It has a giant revolving stairwell in the center
that leads to rockets, and is good for FFA and Team Slayer maps. This part
of my submission might belong in the Customs and Creations show, but post
it if you like.

If anyone would like to give me a review on my map, or just get videos
from Halo 3 captured in HD, message Leonidas117 at GamerChiefs.com

the trucks with their fancy alpacas and yowlers.

moose0030

Hey this is moose0030. long-time listener,new member and new writer. My
tale from the fox hole is when i was playing on the pit a while ago. I was
in the sword room and was peaking in and out of the door looking at the
sniper tower. i saw a someone up there so i through a sticky. The problem
with this is that the sticky hit my teammate. It was a perfect football
pass. It was right in front of him as he came up the lift. Luckily it
didn’t count as betrayal as he would have killed me.This is one of those
moment where you just look and run away . This will be in my file share. Hope you enjoy this tale. Keep up the work and keep on fraggin’ midget
grunts who are lost on Tsavo highway looking for nene as he rides off on
his foldable bike.

Longrange950

Hey podtacular, this is Longrange950 sending in for the…. 4th time. I’m
of course here to tell you about my awsome triple kill no-scope. Ok, here
is how it went, I was playing team snipers on Standoff with my friend
xxSwordofkyozoxx. I was scopeing in to snipe some one when he went behind
cover. So i scoped out. THEN, my mother drops a pan on the floor scaring
the beep out of me and i pulled the trigger. I then watched in amazement
as i get a triple kill. With the sniped medals. My jaw dropped to the floor
like one of those cartoons and I scream my head off saying PWNED!!! So
there you have it. Keep on fragging santa because he gave you collectors
edition anus armor instead of limited edition. :P

Uzumaki15

Hey Dusty, Crypto and Glewis, Uzumaki with some tales from the foxhole.

Okay the first on was a team snipers game on high ground I was playing
with Tokyo and one of his friends about half way through the match I hop on
a mongoose to get to the action in the base quicker, I drove into the base
hoping to catch them off guard as I drive in an idiot on their team walks
in front of me and I splatter him, I thought it was funny and odd that I 1)
managed to splatter him and 2) I managed to get to the base without being
shot. My next on was a BTS and Avalanche half way through the game I manage to
get on the ghost and begin to annihilate I go on a vehicular manslaughter
(getting the look both way achievement) taking out I think every person on
the enemy team at least once until a lucky hornet got the better of me when
the match ended I was 17 and 7 with two of the three top medals.
Well those are my tales Shout outs to Team Asian Express, and XLR8, and my
Nazi Zombie killing friend Triggerhappypsycho.
Keep on fraggin trucks and Nazi Zombies (which makes COD5 very worthwhile)

lancerr47

Hey Podtacular it’s me Lancerr47, again, for Tales from the Foxhole. I
was playing Halo 3 level The Storm trying to get the point achievement for
that level. I was on the last part of the level where you had to destroy
the huge gun that was going to destroy the ships that was coming in. I had
a Sniper and a Special Assault Rifle. I got to the top where the gun was
and tried to kill some Brutes. I managed to hit two Brutes and get their
shields off and started to kill another one but I ran out of ammo. So I
found a Brute that I had recently been trying to kill. I aimed with the
Sniper and got a headshot and 150 Pts. Then I looked at my points and it
went to 300pts and 450pts. I did not know what happened. I went back to the
theater and looked at the film. It had seemed that after I killed the first
Brute the Sniper bullet bounced off the rock behind him. Then it hit the
huge gun above me and kills the other two Brutes that I was killing earlier
with the same bullet. It is awesome and funny. I wish I could have saved it
as a clip but it was not an option in Campaign Movies. So shout outs to
Podtacular, and the guest at this week’s Podcast. Keep on fraging trucks
and killing noobs with the Special Assault Rifles.

stallmeplease

hey guys it is stallmeplease.
I am here with a tale from the hole of fox. I was playing team slayer on
the pit. I was walking to the overshield in the beginning of the match as
I usually do. Out of nowhere a pallet flies and my jaw, and kills me. I
went into the theatre afterwards to take a look. Turns out that somebody on
the other team was running for the sniper and one of his teammates got
jealous and tried to kill him by throwing a frag. the frag missed him and
hit a pallet, that went soaring into my jaw. keep on fraggin people who doubt my ability to steal watches.(
