Podtacular Episode 57 Show Notes

Podtacular Update, Episode 57 for the week of April 3rd, 2006

with Foo Mo Jive, TollBoothWilley, and LoneBananaFone

This is the Halo 3 and amaz show, (explanation)

Well i think that if bungie announced their project tomorrow, im pretty
sure it would be Halo 3. With all the speculation that’s going on,
there’s really not much room or reason for them to create something
else… Plus the success of halo and halo 2 would NEVER in a million
years make them change the course of this money generator creation and
come up with something that would upset all the Microsoft and Bungie
players out there. I’ve also heard from other sources that we should expect great
surprizes on E3 this year… Possibly a teaser from H3 and lots and
lots of information on the new game. All they want this year is to
steal all the attention that Sony is trying to draw towards PS3. I’m sure we all agree that there’s no
other game that Bungie could put
out that would please the public more than Halo 3.

discussion about what we have figured out so far about Halo 3?


How would you make Halo 3?

Many MMO games have a flag you can turn on so that others can see that
you are LFG (looking for group). I think this would be a good addition
for Halo 3 on Xbox Live. Instead of sending messages and waiting for
people who might or might not join your group, you can just flip on
your LFG flag and wait to be invited or look for others with their flag
on and invite them to a group. This would make grouping with other
players alot easier.

they should make a human sword tht somehow actually goes farther than the
covenant.

If by some magic happening Bungie called me and asked for help for Halo
3 Heres what I would put in and or change.

  1. Better AI, dont get me wroung Halo2’s and Halo’s AI were good but in
    my perspective could have been better. Take a marine for example, if
    you put him put him up against a Elite the Elite will move but the marine
    won’t, make it so your guys stand a chance.
  2. Don’t make the whole game about online play!!!!! Make it so people
    who dont have online can get the experince from the game without LIVE.

halo 3 wishlist by deathdealer009

  1. a covanent shotgun that shoots out bursts of plasma
  2. camo that turns you completly invisible for a very short time
  3. ultra legendary mode,legendary only took me 2 days to beat (damn!!)
  4. fly heritic banshee
  5. rockets that you can blow open walls
  6. on custom party menu,it should say who failed to load the map,this
    would save much time than rather trying to go through and ask each
    person
  7. the ability to turn on vehicles in indoor levels just for fun
  8. a turret that shoots a straight beam of energy i.e. sentinel beam?
  9. a color hue adjuster to make your own color armor and visor
  10. a boss in halo 3 should be the plant like thing at the ending of halo 2
  11. carbine turned in to a 3-shot burst like BR
  12. gas grenade
  13. C4
  14. a gattlin gun which you can take with you anywhere
  15. a warthog that has a laser target to lock on to air type vehicles
  16. a mole type vehicle that can travel underground
  17. a level based on the halo campaign level ORACLE where the cutscene says “hey,watch this”, i
    think it would be awesome to cut the wires and have the gravity in the area changed,this should
    make you jump higher,lob grenades further and makes rockets flow slowly up
  18. another level would have the entire level engulfed in fire
  19. make a level half land and half water
  20. a labrinyth level with an invinsible crazed elite running around with an energy sword trying to kill
    people
  21. last but not least a level with just a giant bridge,it should sway back and forth

in episode 53 where you said enemys in campaign only carry 1 weapon, you
are wrong because the higher class elites will have plasma rifles but
if frustrated they will bring out a energy sword(on higher difficultys of
course)

Hey guys here are some kool new ideas that could add a whole new
perspective on halo 2 gameplay and make it much more interesting!
First, In a team game, at the beggining of a match, on a large map such
as coag’, instead of spawning at you base you are hot dropped by a
pelican. Here’s the twist, Players are supplied with some sort of high
powered rifle (sniper?) and stronger shields and are able to shoot at
eachother across the map before touching down by your base and the high
powered rifles are taken from you when u land. However if you are
killed in the pelican before unloading, your respond time doubles or triples
giving the other team the advantage. In addition before the match even
starts the teams get to vote where they want to be strategically
dropped on certain points on the map in a democratic fashion. Even more
exciting, the dropships will fly and land much closer to one another
making it easier to kill your opponents. This is still very balanced
becuaes for example, lets say that blue team decides to land at red
base, blue teams gets the rush but red team gets the weapons in their
base to fend off the invaders.Plus,you are not allowed to throw
grenades when you are in the pelicans becuaes if u throw one right as
the other team is unloading from the dropship u could kill all of them.
In a CTF or ASSUALT, being dropped on a specific location on the map
could be a very usefull tool becuaes you could rush the flag and then
commandeer one of the other team’s hogs and bring it home. Vuala u’ve
scored! THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES!!!!!!!

Another idea is that on smaller maps ther could be a portal system to
another map corresponding with the first one however this second map
can only be reached by the portals. For example, the ground map could
be the first part of the campaign mission metroplis where there is a
fort and a courtyard right outside of where the hunters bust down the
door and the connecting map could be one of the space stations from the
previous mission. The portals would be set up at either end of the two
maps so there would be easy access from one to the other. Think about
what this would do to oddball and slayer. Rumble pit would thrive on
maps like these. The mayhem would be plain madness!

Lastly, you know how everyone hates the Covy Carbine? It should be able
to charge up like a plasma pistol and shoot something like a stun-gun.
In response, the Battle Riffle could be given like a low powered frag
grenade launcher or a flashbang. We all hate the needleer too so how we
could balance that is simple. It just takes too long for the shards to
land, hit and explode, so speed up the needles a bit. If they shot at
the same speed as say maybe the rochet launcher and homed in a little
less it would be a balanced weapon. Nice!

I think it would be cool if in halo 3 there was a game type where u
could make a specialized profile, like in Rainbow Six Lockdown.
I think it would rock if there was a machmade game just for those
games. you could have slots for snipers and close combat people, and
sword whores and any thing else they want to create. this way u could
start every game w/ your prefered wepon set, and ect.

In Halo 3 i would like to see
  1. every time u get a like 5 kills a skull and crossbones will appear on your helmet
  2. ability to roll
  3. if u decapitate someone with a sword u can pick up the head and use it as a melee weopan
  4. i Think there should be jetpacks on multiplayer maps that u can pick up strap it on then fly
    around the map with it. i also think that u should be able to custimize 1 or 2 ODST marines as
    your bodyguards. last i think that it would be cool if like u get a killtacular and then u would be
    given the option to play as a hunter with instead of ODST body guards u get Grunts Jackles Or
    Elites as your body guard
I have several things that I would like to see in Halo 3.
  1. Reappearances of all Halo, Halo PC, and Halo 2 maps.
    Many of the maps from these games would be awesome such as Sidewinder, Prisoner, Hang Em
    High, Death Island, and Gephyrphobia not to mention all the Halo 2 maps.
  2. Options to leave out some weapons when selecting Random Weapons. It would be nice to be able
    to do random human weapons or random rifles or other types of weapons.

Just a cool thing for Halo 3. If the Halo 3 CD looked like a Oddball or
a Spartan’s face, plasma pistol and you could buy which one you like.
That would be cool!

I think for Halo 3 you should, when dual weilding, be able to shoot 2
different guys at the same time. I have seen this done in the game
Bounty Hunter (Star wars game). This would be an advantage when
attacking 2 guys because usually people will spend their time killing
one guy while the other guy kills you. This would eliminate this.

My other idea for Halo 3 would be a guidable rocket. Wouldn’t they
already have made this technogly by now? This would be nice because you
could guide the rockets around hills and cliffs.

hey guys, one thing that i wish to be in Halo 3 sooooo…. bad is a
sudden death on bomb games (ya know, where the clock stops at 0:05
until no one is contesting it?) i’ve lost many games where we have the
bomb and there is no one in the enemy’s base, but we run out of time
before we plant it.
Another thing would be….SMOKE GRENADES! like COD2 style! where it
creates a big clound of thick white smoke? it would be a really great
strategy element, or maybe some type of projecticle that screws up your
Motion Sensor for a little.

I think that they should have instant replay in Halo 3. Just do it like
they do it on sports games. It would be soo uber 1337 to be watching
replays of matches while you are waiting in matchmaking. But you
couldn’t watch them during a matchmaking game, only in pregame waiting
and customs. For example some guy gets 30 kills and you would like to
watch him work, so you select his name and you can place whatever
camera angle on him you want. That would eliminate the phrase “Did you
just see that stick/kill/mod?” Also if someone pwns you in a 1 on 1
BR battle you could watch their techinque. This would be really cool.
You could also save replays to your x-box and upload them to a thumb
drive and put them on your iPod.

In Halo 2, unless you read the description, you don’t really know much
about the Multiplayer Maps. It would be cool if the Maps had to do with
the campaign and made it really feel like your playing it. I also made
a poll on the site about being able to make maps in Halo 3. What do you
guys think about that? Would the amount of people playing matchmaking
decrease alot? discuss

By what i’ve heard from forums and such i’ve posted on various sites,
I think most people would most want there to be Online Co-op if they
have Xbox Live. But not everyone has xbox live. I think it would be
nice if Halo added some stuff for those without live too. Here’s a few
of my suggestions:

  1. Bot play where you can play as an Covenant or a Human team and set up
    different scenarious for battles.(Ex:Elites try to capture a Human
    building and Humans try to fend them off for an alotted time)
  2. And maybe some new ways to play other than Campaign or
    Multiplayer(like some crazy mini game or something)

I think it would be cool in Halo 3 if you could hit people with a little dagger with the left trigger when
you are out of gernades. This would take two wacks or three
wacks to kill someone, depending on where you hit them. Another thing that would be cool is to be
able to run by tapping A twice and then hold it and thhat would make your guy run. Plus there shhould
be somoe kind of partner swap where you could give a weapon or aummo to a teammate by walkinig
up to teammate and pressing X and the WHITE
buttton at the same time, then you can choose the weapon oro aummo you want to give. But I could
see problems with this so it should probaly be limited. My last thought is for de-rankers. If they
committ suicide more then once in an amount of time, like 45 seconds, then othere players get the
option to boot that player. If he does it again then
he is automatically booted.

What if say you where playing somebody on xbox live and
someone was shotting close to you, well if you have surround sound then
the direction that the shots came from the sound would sound in that
speaker on that side.
Also this is a crazy thought, what if there were portals to other maps that could only be used in
custom games. For example if you had friends
that was playing in a custom game in coag and you were playing in
Lockout you could go through a portal that took you to that map. Keep
in mind this would only work if you had friends in that other map. And
you would have to break open somthing or find that portal to use it.

Ok i think the elite should stand a little more up right so that its not
as easy to get head shots on them.
I also think popular games like zombies and tower power should be built
into the games
Everyone hates it when the zombies use guns or the red guys dont
switch, well i say they should add an option for manditory switches and
set starting weopons for each team

in halo 3 i would like to see a bones clip at the end staring a sec ops
grunt and a daranged muntent flood chipmunk. the chipmunk would be
unarmed and the grunt would be unarmed as well. the chipmunk would then
charge the grunt while beeting the living crap out of the grunt. the
grunt would the try to fight back, only to get its butt kicked by the
chipmunk. the chipmunk would then eat him !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MWUHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Other games that Halo fans play

When i don’t play halo i play star wars battle front2,call of duty and worms3D! (i would have more up
to date games BUT THEY ARE TO DANG EXPENSIVE) discuss the price of games?

if i were on deserted island and but can only have 1 game besides
halo,that would be Killzone.this game is extremly fun,the story mode is
ok but the multiplayer oh my god,youve got a good amount of bots and
selection of weapons,the levels are fantastic.

If i had to play any game other than Halo, it would have to be Mario
Cart for the N64. It’s kinda embarassing to admit but my friends and i
have spent ridiculous amounts of time playing that game and had
numerous all-nighters. it never gets old or boring.

for those who enjoy the next-gen games Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is the must have game. It is THE
best game out there for the 360! it is greatly improved from
Morrowind. I’ve already planned to fake sick this week so i can stay
home and play it all day instead of go to school.

While this one may be obvious, and I’m sure there will be others
submitting this, It deserves whatever praise it receives. What game is
it? Why Oblivion of course! I’ll keep this brief, if you read my blog
entry a while ago you’ll know I can ramble a lot about this game, so
I’ll just put it bluntly. This game is AWESOME! You could wander for
hours and find neat little buildings or locations in the middle of the
woods. And more often than not, you’ll find something unique in these
places. For a very small example, I got a room at an inn which was a
boat. And when I woke up, the inn had been hijacked by pirates! It’s
these random occurences that make the game such a blast to play, if you
make yourself available for these things to happen, you never know
what’s going to happen next! That’s it for me guys, see ya next week!

ok well besides halo2 (greatest game on earth)there are many other games
i play. First off i play perfect dark Zero, Project Gothem Racing 3,
Call of duty 2, and Oblivion. Perfect Dark is great because when my
friends are not playing halo2 there playing that. PGR3 is a great game
for thouse people who like racing games. i hate sport games racing is
where the party’s at. Oblivion i got opening day and havent gotten very
far. that game could go on forever. Call of duty 2 is sooo myuch fun.
Glewis we have to get on call of duty at the same time sometime. O well
No games could ever beat halo 2 except…......Halo 3….whenever that
comes out. Bungie Tell us!!!

Hey Guys… Even though i always go back to halo 2 for being the best game ever…
I’m still a faithful buyer of the FIFA and NFS series. I love soccer
games and also racing games where you can modify your car. I have forza
mortor sports and that’s an awesome game there.. but NFP Most Wanted is
by far the best racing game i’ve ever played. It’s so much fun to hook
up your car, then race, then run from the cops, and race again.. It’s
just hands down awesome. As far as FIFA goes.. I don’t have a 360 yet but the new Fifa Race to the
World Cup is awesome.. I’ve played the demo at a friends house and
it’s just great. The 360 really makes the difference when i comes to
graphics and details… But then again… There are a lot of games out
there that are just as fun and are avaliable for regular Xbox.

I have a great game for the Xbox and soon for the 360. It is Battlefield
2: Modern Combat. The multiplayer is the best of all. Basically you
have 2 types of multiplayer gameplay. There is Conquest and Capture the
Flag.

Conquest: There are multiple flags in different locations you must get
to and take control of. There is a ticket counter that counts down.
Whenever you control more flags than your enemies then it will count
down. Or whenever a person respawns it goes down one. This will play
out until one team hits zer0.

Capture the Flag: Well I bet you can figure this out. The team must take another teams flag home to
score. This is great with all the different types of soldiers. This balances
the game out actually quite fairly.

Assault – Close to medium range. Good for advancing and killing
Special Ops – My favorite. One reason. C4-Gotta love it.
Sniper – Obvious
Engineer – Land Mines and perfect when with a tank.Heals ‘em.
Support – Mortar Strike and Heals players.-I call ‘em steroids.

one of my favoute games recently is ghost recon advanced warfighter or
G.R.A.W as it is otherwise known, now this is and xbox360 version im
talking about, obviously the graphics are great the interface is also
very good looking and easy to use single play is good along with multiplayer.
overall i would give it 9.5/10 because nothing is perfect, except for
oblivion but i havent played that so i cant talk about it

Oddball/Juggernaut
