Custom Games

The name of the game is Ole Eagle Eye or Banshee Dodgeball if you prefer. The game is played on asencion works best with about 6-8 people made outof a FFA slayer everyone spawns with plasma pistols no other weapons
period no grenades either. The players also have only one life and no motion sensor. Who ever gets the banshee first is the “eagle” you then wait till all players reach the banshee spawn platform then the “eagle”
tries to splatter them. The players are also allowed to hijack the banshee. Splattering people is actually much more difficult then it would seem. A time limit of 4 minutes is good for this game and remember no
shooting or killing other players when not in a banshee. Also the banshee can’t shoot and if it’s destroyed players have a melee fight to determine the winner.

It is called “Say What?” and works much like “smack da ho” and “zombies”. It is a rumble game type and everybody except for one person has voice masking on.(it doesn’t matter who it is, u just have to make sure it’s one person) the person with the voice masking has to try to kill people without the voice masking. Once you’re killed u must turn ur voice masking off and begin to kill those with it… People with voice masking may not kill fellow “voicemasquettes” but only people without voicemasking “non-voicemasquettes” and visa-versa. Players are allowed to ask other players to speak only when they are within non white button speaking range….the player may kill the other player if he refuses to respond. Obviously, although i didn’t mention this non-voicemasquettes may fight back, it’s like zombies. The weapons can be whatever(preferably not rockets tho) and the time should be five minutes…it is best played with a lot of people. when everyone has voice masking off the party leader ends the game. this can be a lot of fun if played with a lot of people.

Finally- I would like to wish all those on vacation a good vacation! Also shoutouts to dialpex for being an awesome season leader! Good luck to everyone during season! Go pro b!

Hey, Podtacular this is Kramer683 and ive got a cool custom game.
This can be played on any big map ex. (coagulation, waterworks,containment) (Team slayer game type)
Its called Chess and its name speaks for itself. EVERYONE HAS TO LISTEN AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS! Everyone only has 1 life and shields 1st in the pregame lobby pick who will be the pawns,king,queen,castle,horse,and bishops for each team.

Pawns – can only have single SMG and storm the enemy base
King – gets shotgun and has to stay inside own base
Queen – gets sniper and does whatever, protect king or kill enemy king
Castle – gets rockets and defends king
Horse – 2 people get in warthog and storm enemy base
Bishops – Get BR and do whatever, protect king or kill enemy king
Each team should have 1 king 1 queen 2 horse (in same warthog) 2 Bishops 1 Castle 1 pawn = 8 people for each team
Keep up the good work – GT- Kramer683

I didn’t come up with this game myself, but a fun Free for all sniper game to play is “5 kills, 3 lives”. (Obviously) The score to win a round is 5 kills, but you have 3 lives. Weapons on map are default, and any weapon that can be picked up can be used in addition to the sniper rifle you spawn with. This game is fun because people have to be cautious to win, but the race to five kills puts some tension on the players to act.

It should be 5 rounds long, with normal shields.

this is a custom gametype i usually play on Halo PC. it is a crazy king varient on Battle Creek. the way the game is set-up is:

1. the hill moves after a set amount of time
2. no shields
3. no pickups like health, over-shield, or active camo
4. starting weapon is a shotgun, no secondary
5. no shotguns on the map, you must pick up ammo from dead people.
6. 15 minutes to win, this seems alot but the time adds up quickly if all
of yoour team is in the hill.
7. instant respawn
8. no suicide or betrayl penalty
9. no grenades on map, it would be too hectic because no one has shields
and people would be getting killtaculars by thorwing a random grenade

there are some more settings but i hope you get the general idea of the
gametype. this is also played on CTF and Oddball and any other team based
gametype. this gametype is made to closely mimic real-life, hence no
shields, no health pickups, and no ammo on the map. grenades dont work in
this gametype because of the no shields.

i rarely host this gametype since no one can join my game but once in a
while someone hosts a game similar to this one. check it out sometime…

ok this custom is called lava man ok the pint is you have to capture the flag with out the lava man killing you. the rules are if you are not standing on a box or railing or something related to them you can be killed by the llava man but if you are youre safe.you can not kill the llava man you can play it on just about every map dont try the big ones like water works or coag its probably best on turf. the weps are sword no nades and no weps on map.and there is one lava man (red) and the rest of the peeps are blue. Do you like waffles??

Well, I couldn’t think of anything to call this game, so I called it what it is: Kick Ass.

Juggernaut has:
Active Camo
No shields
Fast Movement
Inf. Ammo
Radar On

Others have:
No shields
Normal Moverment
Radar Off

BR Start
Starting Grenades
Weapons on Map: Human

Bascially, its Ninjanaut, but more fun. Like, SWAT Ninjanaut.

This game is called Dukes of Hazzard. it is only played on coaugulation. All it is -is br’s and warthogs. The thing is, you can only shoot people from the warthog, from in the air. Also, you have to YEEEEEHHHAAWWW while
in the air while the driver honks his horn. This game is sooo much fun to play with friends and at LANs.

Alright i made this game awhile back and i really have not cared to play it,i play the game with a full party of podtacular and they seemed to like it:

The name is ELITE DOUBLES,an oddball varient where you have 8 teams of 2,starting weapon BR,secondary weapon random and the oddball guy has super speed,best played on Warlock or Foundation.

Kung Fu: Standard Slayer, start with Magnums, no weapons on map or shields, Bonus Points. No special rules or maps. The point is a choice. In a Kung Fu movie, it isn’t as cool if you kill someone by shooting them, instead of beating them up. The point is either to go for the easy headshot, or go for the harder beatdown and get more points.

The name of the game me and my friends play is Vart N’ Hogging. Starting weapon is plasma pistol and four hogs on the map. It is best played on Coagulation. You have to splatter people to get kills. It is a fun game
but it’s better watching your enemies fly a hundred feet in the air.

I have a custom for you all. It’s called Queer Headed Monkeys.

Weopons,pistols
StartingWeopon,pp
Shield Type, over shields

objective, try to kill your selves using plasma pistols.

Tales from the Foxhole

once upon a time, there was a little game of slayer on waterworks, and i was drivin a worthog w/o any other friends, then suddenlly, bam, an opponent in my turret, then bam, an other oponent in my passenger, i did
not now wat was going on, so i drove the worthog of the cliff.

While playing BTB the other night, the team I was on jumped to a big lead. Content that we were going to win, I climbed in a Warthog and began to try to run over people. After a little bit, players from the opposite team climbed into the gunner and the passenger seat. After a moment, I remembered I used to flip tanks with the Warthog in Halo 1, and had yet to try that in Halo 2. After attempting that on an enemy tank and just
bouncing off, I decided my next course of action would be to run into one of the mines that are scattered about Containment and take the two enemies with me. When approaching the mine, I had a tinge or regret that I would be ending my spree, and attempted to bail at the last minute. I successfully got out, but vehicle stopped short of the mine. As the gunner began to light me up, the tank I previously bumped came over a
bridge and shot the Warthog, killing his 2 teammates. I began laughing loudly and bragging “No Scope.” That 2 point deduction also proved to be the difference…between winning by 36 or 38.

Keep on with the great pod cast.

The worst lvl 22 EVAR!

Whats up guys i was playing a free for all deathmatch with two of my friends the other night. It was pretty crazy and hectic so we were shooting amongst one another when i lobbed a frag at my buddy and he shot out of instnct at it and it blew up! i have never seen that happen before so i thought it was pretty cool.

Hey podtacular, i have these pretty strange stories from the foxhole so listen up. This one time at xbox camp i was playing a slayer on sanctuary, i had the sword and had just lunged this guy to death near the entrance to the middle area. I might also add that when i beat people down or use the sword i spaz out by jumping off my chair and to the right using my left shoulder to block something. During this though i dropped my controller and right at the same time a guy dropped from the second level and into the middle of the sword spawn. The controller fell and landed on the R button and i assasinated the guy. LOL. MY other story was on terminal it was the start of a ctf game and we took the warthog and drove the normal bath we had the flag and were returning to base. My passenger said he was going to walk and the warthog would distract them. we were nearing the train track ramp when he said this so i power slided sideways passenger side facing the tracks as the gunner shot the enemys coming, and he got out almost over the tracks just as the train came by and the flag guy was runover. But we were also on the tracks, enough that we would get sent flying. The train glitched through us and we survived. The gunner and i were laughing so hard while the passenger wouldn’t stop swearing at us. He quit and our team won. Good work podtacular LOL (little oscilating ladies).

I joined the Blue Team not knowing was I was getting myself into. I was a young man, who was ready to defend my flag no matter what. My platoon and I were sent into Containment only 3 days before the enemy arrived. It was 4:00 PM on the 4th day when the combat started. I grabbed my Battle Rifle and jumped into the passenger seat of one of my Platoon’s Warthogs. We drovve across the terrain, and when we reached our destination I jumped out and opened the gate to the enemy’s base, and we drove in. The Gauss Cannon took out alot of the enemy’s ground troops, and I grabbed the flag and got back in the hog. We drove back to our bse where I scored the flag. Oh, wait. It was BTB Slayer and we lost 68 to 100. And it was on Coag. Nevermind.

A few nights ago i was playing ctf on beaver creek with a friend on double team and we were tied 2-2. We got thier flag and took it through the teleporter and threw it on top of our base. They got up there and they
were like “Its on the glass, if they shoot it it will fall down” so we shot it and scored. We didnt know it was on the glass until they said that and we probably wouldve lost because there was very little time left.
Another funny thing is like everytime I play double team with him one of us always has at least 1 suicide and most of the time we dont even know we get it. Thats all for now.

Myself cowbel and fartmandoo were playing a team swat game at zanzibar and 2 people on there team quit so when we were on offense we got there flag and hid it in the water Cowbel contested it and it just turned into a huge glitch game trying to find stuff it was pretty funny espcecially since we got the other team not to kill. I then took the contesting duty and proceeded to watch almost the entire homerun derby until the game ended. Total gametime was over an hour it was definantly a first

The BxB is essential for winning most close encounters and is eaiser to
learn and perform then the BxR and almost as effective. While a BxR will
still beat a BxB. Knowing how to BxB well will give you an edge in melee
combat and in heads up battles. To do a good BxB the first thing to
remember is you cannot have a full clip or the BxB won’t work. First press
B to punch now when the punch hits press X to cancel the rest of the
animation then when the clip is being taken out of the weapon usually a BR
perss B again to finish the job remember pressing X to fast will cancel the
punch animation entirely including the damage. Remember when trying to dodge sniper fire or BR shots jumping
usually only makes things worse for you as while jumping you fall quite
slowly to the ground. Another thing to remember is the quick reload which is very helpful for
team sniper games while in close range no-scope battles. The reload is
quite easy to do as long as you get the timing down it can be done with
any weapon with a clip using the BR as an example when the clip is being
removed press YY quickly and tou will have a full clip without the whole
animation.

A friend and i were doing super bounces on headlong and he went in and was half-way in the ground. not like fully in and falling into the guardian spike pit or whatever, but he was able to walk around. he went up the stairs back to the little bridge above the street and got on the bridge.Then he fell through and died on the way down and his shields were glowing on his dead corpse on the ground. it was weird. maybe the guardians were at that time or something, i don’t know.

My First Triple Kill
Hey Podtacular, this is how I scored my first triple kill. I was playing team slayer in matchmaking and the game was on lockout. At the start of the game, I spawned in the room right below thr BR tower. I took about
three steps outside and I saw three of the guys on the blue team all rush for the sniper. How cute of them I though, so I shot the exploding canisters and they all blew away in separate directions followed by a loud
“Yes!” coming from me right after the announcer guy said “Triple
Kill!”

Once upon a time in the happy happy land of ivory tower A week and a half ago Vyse and I were Betraying each other and just acting retarded and messing around When we spotted a mutant demonic chipmunk on its marry
little way towards foomo`s house. We waved and said hello and asked it were it was coming from and how it was like being infested by the flood virus. He said that he was kicked out of backwash and it feels good yet
some times lonely and that was why he was going to foomo`s house and also cuz hes never seen a alligator before. After we Found out from the chipmunk (Frizz was his name) that he would make a appearance in halo 3
fighting all grunts and helping the Master Chief. Latter in that game the other team quit and we ended up winning with -12. The entire story is true you can even ask vice yourself! Frizz asks you Foo mo, that you plz let him into your home to live with you for he has no family of his own.

Hey podtacular it’s t llama, i have a pretty cool story to tell you. Okay, me and Stigmatic decided to play some double team, our first game was 2v2 Slayer on Ivory Tower. We played a pretty even match threw out the whole game, then it was 29 to 29, 30 seconds to go. Me and Stigmatic were on shotgun side when i guy came at us from the bottom floor. Stigmatic was coming up the the airlift when the guy started shooting at him. I tryed to help but i couldn’t, so Stigmatic fired a random sniper bullet and killed the guy with no shields and we won, it was so cool! Keep up the good work.

A few days ago, I played a game with Samanator (the canadian noob). Just kidding. Anyways, I played a game of team slayer onm Lockout with Samanator, Rus Omi, and Eeevan. Samanator was on top of BR 3 and I was in
the little room on the other side, 2 floors below the sniper tower where the plasma rifle is. As I responded there, I started walking out and saw Rus to my right. After that, all I saw was a little blue ball coming
strait at me. Samanator had stuck my in the face from the other side of the map in BR 3. At first I thought I was in blue screen, but then I died and was mad at Samanator, the noob.

I got an awesome tales from the foxhole, ok here it goes. i was playing Team Swat on the first day it was added to the playlist and the pregame lobby showed that lockout was the map (which by the way is an awesome map for team swat), when we started the game my team was in the room above the sword spawn. well then on my screen i see that the other team spawned across from us in the same room. i see that i have the advantage because i spawned facing towards them. so i unload at their heads with my BR and and then thats when i hear, DOUBLE KILL! TRIPLE KILL! KILLTACULAR!!!! that was fraggin’ awesome…. my teammates were like ” woah dude you got a killtacular, what an awesome way to start a game.” but our score only got up to like 9 cause the other team quit…. yeah but anyways that was like tales from the foxhole for ya. Enjoy the show …!!!POD REC A RULES!!!
