MONSIEUR VOYEUR

Hey podtac crew, I am back and have a very many things to say about our newly bestowed time suck granted to us for the next , well, I’m giving it eight years. If you answered Halo Reach, you are indeed very correct. First off, I would like to thank you, hosting and guesting, for this fantastic show and making it into what it has become. Now I will have more and more to say as the weeks go by but there is only one amazing feature I will bring up at the moment. In its entirety, File Browser is god honest remarkable. I have downloaded every highest ranked and well held remake of every nostalgic creation of previous Halo titles. Halo Reach is bringing on a new era for Halo fans aswell as their communities, this one in particular. So this is I, looking forward to the Custom Games period of Halo Reach in the coming months and years, looking forward to seeing every single one of you listening and especially who ever may be reading on Battle Creek, Sidewinder, Damnation, Rat Race, Prisoner, Hang Em’ High, Chill Out, Derelict, Boarding Action, Chiron TL-34, Blood Gulch, Wizard, Longest, Death Island, Danger Canyon, Infinity, Timberland, Ice Fields, Gephyrophobia, Lockout, Ascension, Midship, Ivory Tower, Beaver Creek, Burial Mounds, Colossus, Zanzibar, Coagulation, Headlong, Waterworks, Foundation, Containment, Warlock, Sanctuary, Turf, Backwash, Elongation, Gemini, Relic, Terminal, Desolation, Tombstone, District, Uplift, Example, Construct, Epitaph/Epilogue, Guardian, High Ground, Isolation, Last Resort, Narrows, Sandtrap, Snowbound, The Pit, Valhalla, Foundry, Rats Nest, Standoff, Avalanche, Blackout, Ghost Town, Cold Storage, Assembly, Orbital, Sandbox, Citadel, Heretic, Longshore, Boardwalk, Boneyard, Countdown, Forge World, Asylum, Hemorrhage, Paradiso, Pinnacle, The Cage, Powerhouse, Reflection, Spire, Swordbase, Zealot, Beachhead, Corvette, Courtyard, Glacier, Holdout, Outpost, Overlook, and Waterfront. I love this community and I lov e this game. Thank you for your time guys. Hasta Luego.

Hey guys, Giffy again sending in another sub for Reach. I listened to your previous show and noticed that no one mentioned the refined search option in the start menu in Reach. You can totally search any map just by typing it in. If the map is tagged with an original bungie you could theoretically get remakes of all the Halo maps to date. This search option is not limited to only maps but also includes the other types of downloadable media in the game: such as screenshots, clips and game types. Just figured I’d mention this sense it seemed like something that should be said. Think of all the possibilities with this option. If you wanted to play a ranfilm dom Halo CE map with friends you could just search it download it and play it. Its that much easier to play on whatever map you want. Well thats all I got. Keep up the good work guys. Keep on thinking up innovative ways to use the AOL trial disks. So far I’ve thought of: Drink coasters, Mailbox reflectors (so people can see your mail box), Ninja throwing stars (obviously), and psychodelic mobiles for hanging above little baby’s cribs. Sorry for the longish sub and the random reference to last weeks show. This is giffyboy92 signing off.

As a preface, let me apologize for my lack of brevity. Just wanted to say thanks to you guys for making the Podtacular podcast. I’m 20 (Surprise! It’s not just minors that listen to your show.), am attending Aviation Engineering school, have been listening for a little over a year, and probably have the most Halo knowledge of anyone over the age of 15. Lol. I keep the 10 most recent episodes on my iphone, and listen to them at work all the time; they definitely let the night go by faster. As far as the podcast goes, it’s always great, but if you ever have anyone make a repeat appearance consider the guys from Forge Hub. In my opinion it was one of the funniest episodes in recent months. Keep on doing your thing guys.

P.S. Brent, hope my mastery of English measured up to your standards. Also, as unlikely as it may be, if you ever want an extra voice on your show that doesn’t really have any great Halo accreditation other than being a dedicated well-informed fan, please keep me in mind.

Hey theyre Podtacular and listeners.

I was thinking of a good way to show bungie that we love them and appreciate the games they have made for us over the years and i came up with something we can all be involved in.
What do you think if you guys send a call out, on the show and all over the internet for people to send …pics of themselves in to podtacular saluting bungie for their hard work. They can use it as a screensaver or something somewhere in thier office, im sure they’ll love it. People could add messages at the bottom of the photos or their names or whatever they like. Hope you like the idea and give it a shot. :D

Sincerely Stephen GT: stabyio

Sarcastic Soda

Hey Podtac, it’s me the only soda you have to buy off of the internet and you still won’t get. Even though this is the Multiplayer show i’d like to say that on the last level, Lone Wolf, I noticed that there were alot of dead spartans on the ground, it made me think that maybe this is Bungie’s tribute to the book The Fall of Reach. Anyway on to the multiplayer, I am loving the multiplayer except for the fact that people keep forging up Call of Duty maps, this is Halo not some game were you don’t really need skill to play. Also i figured out a glitch, onetime in Slayer Pro on asylum, I was in the middle of the map going towards red base’s sniper and right before a guy assassinated me I hit sprint and it took me out of the assassination but i could still here the sound effects. Love the show, Keep on fragging noobs who think I have no life because I’m a Lt. Colonel. P.S. I am making an infection map for the Forge contest, if anybody wou ld like to test it with me send me a friend request saying you are from Podtacular, I don’t accept random friend requests.

Hi Podtacular.

I’d first like to say well done and thank you for your show, it has helped me understand alot about the Halo franchise as well as the books.

I really love Halo Reach, its match-making system is subperb! I wish Bungie will make a Saber playlist because I just know it would be extremely Popular and enjoyful.

Forge world is INSANE! You can just about customize every little detail you want. I have made a few maps my self. My best one, ”Tritacular” is a Team slayer/SWAT/Pro slayer map.

Halo Reach’s campaign was a little to compact at the end for me. First Jorge dies (Or did he?) in the covenant super-carrier, then in the last few missions, every one dies. I feel Kat’s death was a bit stupid, A simple way to fix this is when Kat is running to the elevator, she doesnt put her helmet back on and then she gets shot in the head. I was still amazed by reach’s campaign.

If Bungie/343 Industries makes a remake of Halo CE in Halo reach type of graphics, thats would be really awesome. After i saw the pillar of Autum cutscene from Halo:Reach, i actually played the first mission of Halo CE.

If 343 does make a Halo 4, i feel that is where Halo should stop, finally closing the story.

Thank you for everything Podtacular.
”Keep on fraging the covies.”
