Podtacular Customs and Callins Show (explain)
-Halo2.junk.ws interview toward the end
Arena is a 1-v-1 style game type in which players rotate fighting each
other, with other party members as spectators. The “Arena” aspect of this
game comes from the fact that the winner of any particular “battle”, the
1-v-1 battle, moves on to the next “round” by defeating his or her
opponent. After a player is defeated another person takes their place. Up
to 8 players are recommended for the game, get too many people or the
games will move too slowly. Most everyone I have played with enjoys this
game type, people ranging from hardcore MLG types, to the occasional
player, all seem to enjoy this game.
Here are the specs for this game.
Max players=2
Time Limit=12 minutes
Kill Limit=10
Resolve Ties=On
Lives=Unlimited
Normal Shields
Radar= on or Off (I prefer on, as it adds speed to the game, and it can
add an aspect of deception)
Vehicles=2 ghosts
WEAPONS
Mix these up depending on what kind of crowd you are with. Use MLG
settings if you are playing with an MLG crowd.
Another fun set is 2 random spawning weapons, best played on lockout, but
remember to leave the map weapon set on “default”, just incase some gets
stuck with a needler and a plasma pistol. Another nice aspect of this game
is that spectators can talk to each other as well as the two people
fighting.
Another setting which has never failed is Arena snipers on ascension. Make
the two spawning weapons a human sniper rifle and a beam rifle. Make the
weapons on map RIFLES.
ANOTHER QUICK THING
If the party gets too large and they still want to play this style of
game, just turn on team play, the game changes from 1-v-1 “Arena”, to
2-v-2 “Tag Team”
This game is just for messing around and trash talking…All hogs on
Coagulation, no shields, and starting grenades on…It’s fun to kill a hog
in one shot when he’s just driving and watching it blow up :), it gets
really fun when more people join and get in the hogs…one grenade could
get you a triple kill in some instances.
hey podtacular, its frag biscut. my custom game is called whack the sack.its
a juggernaut game, the juggernaut has no sheilds, and walks slow. everyone
else has oversheilds, grenades, swords, and rockets. random weapons on
map, whatever vehicles you want. fun with 10+ people on midship.
“Dodge that hawg dawg”
This is a simple Team Slayer game. You can set a time limit at your
discretion, but make it a fair bit of time. How to play: Make all vehicles Gauss Warthogs, no Starting Grenades or
grenades on map. 2-3 people (depending on how many are in the party) go 1
color, while the rest go another color. Starting weapon of Shotgun, no
grenades on map. Preferrably played on Zanzibar. The 2-3 people are given
1 minute to get into gauss warthogs and park them in the waters of
Zanzibar. Then, the remaining players can come and murder them in any way,
without shooting a gauss turret. Whoever kills the “Hawg Shootas”, gets to
take their place next round.
well i dont know if any of u guys have played team action sack latly but
me(sapadrew) ChuckieJ BloodyTactix and ShadowSaber45 were playing it and
we came across a game called laser blasters! in this game it is basically
sentinal beam and shotguns. u play on small maps with gernades on and the
first to fifty wins. it makes for tons of fun and the best part of it is
that u can scream LASER BLASTERS all the time for some good laughs. any
way this game type is cool and u should deffinatly check it out.
I have a custom game called Draw. It is
played with no grenades and the starting weapons are Magnums. Its the first
one to win 3 rounds with only one life per round. Only two people at a time
and it is best played on Lockout. The two people in that round stand with
their backs to each other and have someone say “draw”. Then they both turn
around and kill each other. Hope you like it and keep up the good work!
Hey guys this ones called Fat Man Out. It’s Juggernaut with usually 2-5
players. Juggernaut has active camo, make him slow, and take his shields
away. This games best played with rockets, swords and pistols (plasma
too). It works on any map but Containment is best. Hope you guys have fun
with it. C U .
This game is called Team Noob. This game can only be done with two people
on each team, no more no less. So you can have 4,6,8,10,12,14,16 players.
On each team you must have one Spartan and one elite. There are no weapons
on map, no vehicles and no grenades. The starting weapons are pistol and
plasma pistol. The elites can only use plasma pistols and the Spartan can
only use pistol. Have fun with this team oriented game.
This game type is called Dye Modders Dye. First invite all your favorite modders to play with you. Second make the
game setup no shields brutes shot starting and grenades. Third put all the
modders in one base on backwash. Fourth blow them up, teabag them, boot
them from the game, give them bad feedback on everything, then send them
messages of you slapping the microphone. Fifth invite them back in the
game and repeat the last steps.
It’s Ares925. Pronounced Air-eez. Anyway I have a custom game that hasn’t
been read yet but is ten times more fun then most of the crap that wins
best custom.
Road to Hill 30 One hill-No movement-5 min. to win Best on Coagulation with 16 people
Two teams Blue-Americans Green-Germans
All human weapons. No shields. Chain gun warthog and scorpion tank are the vehicles. Large gun turrets. Starting weapons are a smg(Thompson) and a magnum(.45)
You can only duel-weild magnums Snipers can only fire one shot, then they have to reload. BRs are not allowed at all.
It is very intense, With no shields tanks own but are killed by one rocket.
You can also do a territories version with twenty min. to win and long
contest times.
crap I have a needler
6 rounds – 1 life per round
Random starting weapon
no weapons on map
no shields
The last one alive wins the round
It’s named that way because if you get a needler you are screwed.
a custom game i like is paintball. u play it with carbines on beaver creek.
ur not allowed to cross the river in the middle cause it just doesnt work
like real paint ball.
This unique custom game that is a lot of fun and passes the time well is
called “DUBBING”. This game can be played in the pregame lobby, during a
custom game, or while waiting for the matchmaking system to get you match.
In order for this to work everyone must change their voice settings to
“Xbox Communicator Only”. Then you must mute the TV. Now everyone shall
change to the same channel such as FOX, UPN, Disney, basically any channel
that has a sitcom, news show, or informercial. Now, the people in the
party’s job is to be the voices for the characters on the show. Each
person should try to agree with the other characters and spin off of their
cues and play along with their jokes. The dialogue that is produced should
be funny and original.
Now you know what to do next time you are waiting for that fourth member
of the team to join your party! Again, the game is called “DUBBING”, and
this is brought to you by SDtektiv.
1. Knight’s Training (Slayer variant): Starting Primary – Energy sword. Starting Secondary – Brute Plasma Rifle. Grenades – OFF. Weapons on map -
NONE. Overshield – ON. Motion Detector – OFF. Damage Resistance – ON. Basically this just beefs up your endurance so sword battles last longer
and take more skill. The Brute plasmas are there to provide another
option so the swords don’t get old too quick. Plus, once you kill an
opponent, you can dual the Brute PR’s to wear down your next opponent’s
shields before going in for the sword kill.
This works best on small to medium maps with any number of people, even
one-on-one. I usually play it to about 5 kills per round, and three
rounds to take the win. This way you can set the “Map Refresh” option to
OFF, which adds to the fragging fun!
2. Hand2Hand (Slayer variant): Starting Primary – Plasma Pistol. Starting Secondary – NONE. Shields, Motion detector, Grenades, and
Weapons on Map – OFF. The plasma pistol is just there ‘cause you can’t
make a gametype without a starting weapon, and it’s the only gun whos
melee animation is a straight punch.
Again, this game is best on small to medium maps for any number of people,
but it’s most fun with at least four people. You can play to any number of
kills, it just depends on how many people are playing. The more players,
the more kills you play to.
Here is a game called hole jumping. It’s Odball and no sheild played on
Beaver Creek. You use the no weapons glitch(over charge plasma pistol and
pick up an oddball). No grenades on map. You line everyone up ontop of
one of the bases. Break the glass on the hole over the flag/bomb area. Then you jump over it. If you fall you throw a grenade at your feet and
commit suicide. Last one standing wins. You can push people in. Thankx
I have a really cool custom game called Land Of The Dead.This is a
variation of zombies. if youve seen the movie u will probably understand
it better. its best played on zanzibar with 16 people but can be played on
containment. u start out with a pistol and battle rifle, and there are
swords on the map for the zombies. there is a time limit of 1 hour and if
u live to the end u survived the zombie invasion. there is one zombie at
the start. if playing on zanzibar u have 3 people go to the wall near the
beach and they sit there for 5 minutes and kill the zombie everytime it
comes close to the wall, after 5 min 3 new people come out and take their
place. the objective for the zombie is to kill the people on the wall be
for going past the wall. when the people on the wall are killed they
become zombies, of course, but every one else has to stay in the building
and wait until the 5 minutes is up for another 3 to go out while the
zombies storm the building. after 30 minutes the zombies can use pistols.
i know it sounds impossible but it can be done. also i would like to make
a shout out to sarah.
The name of the game is Invisafrag. This game is best for 4 to 6 people. In
this game there are no teams and everyone has normal sheilds with
invisability. Everyone starts with a BR and a shotgun. and as you can tell
from the name everyone runs around throwing frags and shooting each other
before the time runs out. It’s best to play this game on a small map such
as Lockout or Beaver Creek with a time limit of about 5 minutes.
Now this one has two factors which improve it’s playability, integration of
the teams and the size of the teams. I have however played this gametype
splitscreen and it still works.
Team slayer, any map, though I find Relic works best (But any map with a
good deal of cover from all directions is good). 20 to 50 kills is best.
Set starting weapons to something fairly ineffective, like the SMG.
Default weapons and vehicles. Friendly fire on, Set TK’s to minus one
point. The twist is that each team recieves a player who is aligned with
the other team as a member of their team, such that both teams have a
betrayer in their midst. The duty of the betrayer is to team kill as many
as possible because they want the other team to win. Meanwhile, both teams
must strike a balance between losing too many points from killing their
betrayer and killing him to stop him from getting power weapons, all the
while fighting the other team.
A strategy sometimes employed is the betrayer willingly getting himself
killed, but it is a strategy which is often hard to employ if the team he
is on is organised, on certain maps, and a skilled betrayer should hope to
be able to TK faster than he can suicide. Both teams will have to make
enough kills to get to the winning score, while the betrayers in their
teams will be trying to lower the scores.
I imagine it would work very well with clan matches as each team would
have to decide whether to send their best or worst player to the other
team as a betrayer. However, since the betrayer is losing more points for
better performance, it wouldn’t work to well with a match in which the
scores go to rank.
Here’s one for all the Podtacular peepz out there.
OK, this is played in Warlock, even though a couple of other maps might work too.
Here’s what ya do:
- Starting weapons: Rockets, Grenades OFF
- One life only
- Everybody in the party heads to the small room in the center of the map…except for one person. That player gets to go anywhere on the map (except for on top of the room) and take potshots at the group inside, and the people inside can shoot back, either in groups or in different directions.
The idea being that while everyone inside might die quickly, they have concentrated firepower to take down the outsider. And the outsider can’t hide in the bases around the map, because you need a clear shot through the doorways. That and hiding is just dumb, cuz it’s all about making BIG BOOM-BOOM IN THE ROOM-ROOM!
OK, and ya know I call this? Ready?!
Everybody say it with me….BA-BAAMM!
Of course, I just lay down the groundwork, feel free to expand on this. Try it with grenades ON, two people outside (working together or separately) or…oooh, no shields!
Heres a game i invented called hunters. This game is similar to border
patrol and tremors. The game works best on coag. It is a ctf game. 2
people go 2 the blue team, these people are the hunters. The hunters have
a sniper rifle and their job is to snipe out the enemy. The hunters can
only use the sniper. No one is allowed to kill the hunters. At the
begining of the game the red team will all go 2 the red base and wait
until it says 5 mins left. then they get on hogs and try to drive to the
enmy base. They can go by themselves but its safer to go in a hog. The
hunters have to try to snipe them out before they get inside the base and
grab their flag. Once the red team has their flag they have to return back
to their base to score it. The hunters cant leave the blue base until it
says 3 mins left. The hunters are allowed to go on the warthog and shoot
the hog turret when it says 3 mins left. this game is really fun with a
lot of people.
You may or may not have heard of this before, but i have a great custom
game it is Swat Elimination, 6 rounds of 2 minutes, no shield, BR start,
no secondary weapon or weapons on the map, can be FFA or team, best played
on maps like lockout and warlock. woof1989
hey guys this is Ulitma Killa and i have a custom game for you. It’s called
LAVA. It’s a CTF Classic game. Where there is a blue team and a red team.
One person is on the blue team and the rest on red. The weapons are a
plasma pistol and a energy sword and no motion sensor. The object of the
game is the get the blue flag without touching the ground. If you touch
the ground the blue guy can kill you. The blue guy cannot do 2 things. 1
kill people off of ground. 2 cannot take red flag. This is a fun game as
long as people folow the rules. Thanks guys. Keep fraggin trucks. And
finding brain scanners.
p.s. shout out to Crisom rice for introducing me to this game. HOW LOOSE
IS YOUR GOOSE!!!!
ok so the game is named Slaughter House. 10min SWAT with grenades, and
Random weaps, you can even go with the SWAT classic, and bonus points team
with the best score after the selected time limit wins
Custom Games:
Train Station
King of the Hill (teamed)
Non-moving hill
Score to win 5 minutes
Players spawn with overshields
Motion Sensor enabled or disabled, your choice
Team time multiplier ON
Active Camo on hill (not like it helps, just fun)
Starting weapons: Shotgun, Plasma Rifle
Weapons on map: Human, no respawn
Needs to be on Terminal
3 second respawn
No vehicles except Scorpion Tank or Wraith
Train Station is a fun game with at least 6 people in the party. a lot of
players think king of the hill is boring but this game is amazing. The
hill is right in the middle of the tracks, so overshields or not, if the
train hits, you’re screwed. Shotgun forces close range combat but the
plasma rifle can be used in different ways. There is so much tension on
that hill. You’re gonna die eventually, whether it be by other players,
the train, or the tank…
This game is played on zanzibar, with 2-4 people on blue, rest on red.
Everyone on blue takes a warthog chain gun warthog out into the water,
and then gets in the back of it. The red team has to charge and kill them,
using only shotguns. After dieing, the red person has to go blue, and
assist that team. Those who kill the warthog chaingunner gets to take his
place next round. No starting grenades, no grenades on map, Starting
weapon shotgun, no weapons on map, no shields, team killing off. Have fun!
hey it’s cgsniper465 with a custom game called lava man, it’s multi flag
ctf, 2 teams 1 person blue and all the rest red best played on turf and 1
life. blue guy can’t get the flag, start with sword and plasma pistol,
blue guy uses sword, red can’t kill blue CAN’T KILL BLUE. so basicly every
things normal. the ground is lava so blue guy can only kill red if there
not on a box or a hog and red tries to score with the flag. it’s fun with
6 to 16 people more the better. i really enjoy the podcast the website and
making firends within the podtacular community. shout out to terinator
monkey, chimp and llama you guys are awsome
(intro) (outro)
Hey guys love the show, you do a great job, keep up the good work (this is a little explicit so feel free to read the no-no words or blank it out). Well anyway… I’m letting you know about a completely insane thing that happened to me in matchmaking the other day. I was playing team slayer on burial mounds, our team was leading by a little bit, and suddenly I got sniped. I followed the sniper trail and looked up, sum1 was outside the map! My teammates all got ticked off cause we were getting owned, and they all left the game, sadly I was the only one left . I was only down by 3 kills, I knew could make that up easily. But there was still a guy up on top.
So I grabbed a beam rifle headed to the place where you get outside the map with a super jump. Finally got outside the map, walked around to where that bitch was, assassinated his ass, and raped his worthless body ‘till it disappeared. Then I sniped his whole team out, got a triple kill, then I noticed I was out of ammo dammit! Then I think the same bitch that I assassinated (and raped) got rockets. I threw my last grenade at him took out his shields, he strafed to the right shot a rocket and it hit the wall closet to him, and I got credit for the kill. All I can say is “what a dick”. I ended up winning thanks to that guys stupidity with rockets.
so this one time i was playing 1 flag ctf on lockout with three other
noobs. so i had the flag and got killed, so one of my team mates picked it
up. So he was about to take it up throgh the shortcut and score but then he
stops and throghs the flag off the cliff. When I asked him what he was
doing he said he was trying to PASS the flag to me! So we end up tying the
game when we could have just as easily won it. what a noob.
Just curious if anyone has ever seen this it is a bit odd. Played a game of
CTF on Headlong. I was on offense, and carrying the flag. I was right at
the area where you go to score the flag and a few guys on the other team
threw some grenades at me. When I jumped and died, somehow the grenades
going off caused the flag to actually stick in the ceiling. It remained
there for some time we kept contesting it but couldnt pick it up. Several
people were jumping and trying to grab it but it was completely stuck in
the ceiling. Pretty weird.
Well, me and 4 of my Halo friends were playin a team SWAT game in
matchmaking. so the 5 of us are waiting there, (only 2 of us are from
Podtacular), and the matched player comes up. When we the three people
come up it was no other then JordanJr and Juice57 and his guest. I was a
really weird.
I was in a team slayer match on Turf at my friends house and all my other
guys quit so it was just me vs. 4 other people, and we were down 15 to 9.
I decided to hide out for the remaining 7 mins. in the game because i
didnt just want to let them win. During that 7 mins. I alternated camping
locations and took them all down with stickies and snipes in the end I
came back to win it.
Me and my friends were playing Team Hardcore yesterday night… and guess
who we ran into… we ran into some pro’s OGRE 1, OGRE 2, SAIYAN, NOT
FAIRY 1…
OUR Gamertags.. Byped, TsX I z3r0 I, tS Cripps, and me TsX I LiVe I… our
ranks are pretty High (most of us are 30’s and play higher than it) and we
were wondering during the pregame load if it was really them… the game
was team ball on hardcore at Warlock.. check out the stats for your self,
i guess they were getting ready for a MLG Tourney coming up in 3 days it
was just SICK OWNAGE FOR US SAIYAN BUSTED 47 and 10 it was ridiculous
their shots were overwhelming and their team work was INCRIDABLE..
CHECK out the stats
Hey guys this happened to me last week, on the level after Gravemind when
the phantom drops the arbiter off on the top of the hill. I went down
aways and killed a brute for his brute shot. When the brutes come with
ghosts i shot one the ghost flew up and hit another ghost which hit
another ghost which came straight at me and killed me. And then while i
was writing it on my psp it died and i had to start over here. It was so
funny, my buddy Starseeker was laughing at me all day.
Tales from the Owl’s Den
Hey podtacular im here to talk about something amazing i did that will probably never happen again. I was playing in a swat ctf game in ivory tower. The game was going pretty bad for my team, i was trying to go for the flag and so was everyone else because they had no mics and we couldnt communicate. When it was our turn on offence, i tried to get to the flag using the left flank. Once i got to the stairs over looking the flag i noticed that most of the people on the other team were sorounding the flag. So as quickly as i coukd i began to br the crap out of them. They were dropping like flies. I took out 2 guys, then another guy came out of no where, took him out. Then more started to respone and i was there to spawn camp. That is when i got a killtrocity, 6 kills in a row. It was the coolest feeling knowing that u single handedly took out the whole entire team. Since there was no one there, i took the flag and peacefully walked back to score laughing my @$$ off. Unfortunately we were killed after that, but still knowing that u got six kills really makes u feel good.
This is plasma qrenades and I have the stories of my first two matchmaking
killtaculars. The frst one was on Collosus (before they changed it so the
weapons were no sniping) and everyone on my team quit. The other team had
the sniper and were camping at the blue base so I decided to attack. I
threw a grenade and finished the first one with a SMG, then took his BR
and 4 shotted his other team mate, after that, I stuck the last one that
was covering the sniper. I rushed forward and meleed the sniper once as he
shot me in the chest, with no shields, I meleed again and heard
“Killtacular”. I won a 4 on 1 game 50-32. The second killtacular was in
team snipers on Terminal. My team was ahead so I rushed at their entire
team who were camping in the garage. I walked up the ramp backwards and
no-scoped the one that was covering the ramp from the corner, then missed
the other one standing next to him, so i went inot 5x zoom and got a
headshot. I thought I was going to get a double kill, but then saw the
other two directly to my right. The one on the left of the other, smacked
his team mate so i grenaded them and killed the one that got hit, then ran
and assasinated the other. Killtacular.
I was playing halo 1 campaign in the library (legendary ofcorse) and we all
know how hectic the flood can be always being everywhere all the time and
as efficient as i am at switching weapons and reloading during battle, it
just needed something else that i could do in battle to help me melee and
then it hit me! You should be able to snatch, grab or pry your opponents
weapon from the hands (or tentacles, which ever you prefer) and be able to
melee or shoot them them all in the some motion. i think you get it but
the best example i can think of this would be when in the first matrix
when Neo and Trinity were trying to save morpheous in that building with
all of the security. During the vicious firefight trinity kicks the
shotgun one of the mercs was reloading from behind him over his back and
trinity grabs it and shoots him in the back. Hard to explain but would be
really great and puts a whole new twist on halo’s close combat.
Ok, so I’m playing Team Swat Classic on Lockout. Two guys on my team start
to derank and we had -4 kills when they had 5. Those two guys quit, so me
and this other guy, Unattainable, pwned them. As I work my way up the
Sniper Tower, I got a killtacular with them saying i was modding. Peace.
Hey Podtacular, my name is Xaurus777 but you can call me X or Walrus. Don’t ask. I just finished listening to episode 72 and I’m gonna be honest, that was the first and only episode I’ve ever seen. Anyway I have 3 tales from the Foxhole. The first is of my friend Blaz1. We were playing Assault on Headlong and he had the bomb. When he went into the base he hit a guy once which took down his shields. Another guy came up behind him and was about to assassinate him but he jumped up and the enemy beat down his friend with no shield. Then he jumped behind the enemy and assassinated him. He got a double kill and armed the bomb. My second tale is of my other friend Mexicutioner321. We were on lockout doing team swat assault. We were in that room above the shotgun going to the grav-lift when an enemy dropped down. Mexicutioner321 paniced and threw a frag. He killed the enemy, me, and himself and got a triple kill. My third tale is of me. We were doing CTF on Terminal and I had just gotton the flag and was running through the tracks when two trains came on each side of me and I started being pushed in between the trains repeatedly and when they passed I got flown over towards the scoring base but before I scored I found a ghost with no one in it but an enemy was coming. I dropped the flag and stuck the ghost right before the dude went in and when he did get in it exploded. Then I went to score. Anyway those are my tales. Sorry if it’s so long. Well, I’m gonna go listen to all the other episodes.
I have a tale from the fox hole what happened was three guys were in the warthog with the flag a threw a sticky and stuck the tire blew up in to the air and then stuck the driver for a triple kill it was sick. PS you know you play too much halo 2 when you know the all the songs on the halo 2 soundtrack by heart and plug in the words in campaign mode
Ok this happened a couple months ago. I decided to try that joke where you have someone else talk for you on Xbox Live. Well I did it with my 8 year old sister. I did it in double team because it was my lowest rank at a 2. Well we got in the pre-game lobby and I told my sister to say, “Are you ready to be owned by a little girl.” I heard my team-mate say “oh shit” and a few seconds into the game he quit. Leaving me against both of them. I will say this it was a good thing that they both weren’t very good. I was sticking, sniping, meleeing, and assassinating them left and right. I did lose though 25-23. Then in the post-game lobby I told my sister to say “You both just got individually beat by an 8 year old girl. How do you like that noobs?” it was so funny. They were both quite for about half a minute. Then one of them said “Your only 8 years old? God Damn!” after that they both sent me a friend’s request. LOL.
I was coming back from Atlanta and i saw a license plate on the back of a
Camaro that said BXR-HOE and i thought it was to much of a coincidence to
be a random set of letters. Maybe you had to be there but i thought it
was hilarious.
I have a…well I’m not sure how to classify this story, whether it’s funny
or not. I was playing a matchmade Team Slayer game and we were going
against derankers. I don’t know if it’s just me ,but derankers aren’t
supposed to kill the opposing team right? I think these people must have
had something wrong. I started killing them because they were killing
themselves. They thought it was a good idea that we should kill them
instead. They started looking for us so we could kill them. Half way
through the game they started screaming and yelling saying you guys suck
we were right behind you and you didn’t even kill me. The derankers, which
were 10 years olds, started to kill us. We were like what in the world is
going on? That’s not how it goes. Both teams started to get mad at
eachother and it was nothing but yelling and screaming. The derankers
couldn’t of caught up anyways so we won. Stupid derankers!!!
i was playing co-op on outskirts with trying to get the IWHBYD skull. it
was around the beginning of the level when the phantom comes. My freind
was looking for the jakal sniper. Right when he found it he said here he
is but as he said it he got sniped so it sounded like, Here it-AAAAAHHHHH!
we were laghuing our heads of literally cause we had the grunt birthday
party skull. I shot a grunt in the head but he was right in front of me so
i got launched to the top of the map. It was funny
Ok, so I entered the Team Swat matchmaking playlist, and I came into a game
of Team Swat Classic on Lockout, and I felt so happy because I didn’t want
to play another game of Swat Territories again! Immediatly as the game
starts, two members of our team start deranking and 2 minutes into it they
quit. The score was like, -5 to 10, them. It turns out the other team was
composed of n00bs. All 4 of them were in the sniper tower as I worked my
way up. I got a Killtacular, right after I killed a guy who was saying I
was modding! Unattainable (the other person) and I pawned them, something
like 50-20. They talked amongst themselves about how we were modding. It
was my first and only (so far) Killtacular.
Hey guys I have a tale from the foxhole. I was playing a game of slayer on
colassus. I was on top center where the sniper spawns. I ran to blue side
and an enemy popped out. He had over shield and shotgun. Knowing I was
going to die I started screaming “stop shooting me I want to be your
friend”. He stopped shooting at me and I stuck him in the face. At the end
of the game he started swearing at me for shooting him when he was sending
a friend request.
I was playing a game of one flag ctf on burial mounds. We held them off the
first time and we didn’t score either. They scored the next time and then
my team quit. The next round it was one on four so I decided to elaborate
on somthing I heard of in a previous episode of podtacular. I grabbed the
rocket launcher and kept my br out. I crouch walked into the base saying
don’t kill me I’ll be your hostage. They decided to keep me as a hostage
for the entire game. I had to crouch under the small bridge in “jail”.
During this time they did things to me with the sniper rifle that I don’t
want to talk about. Anyway, with ten seconds to go they decide to kill me
to prevent the contest. I pulled out the rockt launcher, wasted them all,
grabbed the flag, and ran to my base to score it and tie the game. They
were pissed beyond reason. The morale of this story is take no prisoners!
I was playing Halo 2 listening to I believe episode 5 of podtacular and I’m
in rumble training, colossus,, rumble snipers. I’m playing and then I hear
in my right ear (the one attached to the mp3 player instead of the xbox
live headset). Then you guys came one with sniper tips and ironically I
won the game.
Hey guys this is meean Luc and I got a special tale from the foxhole. A
couple weeks ago I went into a Team SWAT game with A Ompah Lompah. We were
playing Team Slayer on Lockout. We were tied at 42 to 42 when I was on the
sniper tower and somehow I got 8 headshots in a row and two killamonjaros
in 13 seconds to win the game. In the postgame lobby Ompah looked at my
medals and called me a moder so did the other team but I was not moding. Go Rec F!
What up guys (by the way i’m not a gangsta),
In a past episode I remember you guys talking about people mipronouncing
gamertags horribly. In real life, my last name is Constantino. I made my
gamertag “constinento” because people are always mispronouncing my last
name (and yes, sometimes they say constipation, so laugh it up). Now,
about every time I get on live, at least one person says “hey Constantino,
what’s up?” even though it is purposfully mispelled. So pretty much when I
spell it right, its said incorrectly, and when i spell it wrong, people
say it right. Pretty weird, huh?
Finally, I am kind of a Podtacular NOOB and I wanted to know what exactly
“keep on fraggin trucks!” means. I know you guys will make fun of my
question and this long-ass post, but before you do I’ll send you an invite
to the awesome “Politically Correct” custom game, where we will instead eat
tea and strumpets with that English guy.
This is probably one of the craziest things you’ve ever heard or seen, and
it’s definitely THE craziest thing I’ve ever done.
The game is Team Slayer [map default] on Lockout, I’m a 33 competing for
my 34. At this point I was never a 34 before so it was sort of a big deal.
The score was 49-48 for us. Extremely close.
I was at BR 2 (the second/ground floor of the BR tower) when I picked up
to red targets on my motion tracker, I looked down the hole and of course,
two guys had just spawned. I had a BR, SMG, and like 3 plasma nades, I
didn’t really want to take the risk of BRing them or just chucking nades
down there, so here’s what I did.
Above that hole, I threw a plasma grenade at the roof, as I jumped through
the hole. According to plan, the plasma nade stuck to me on my way down and
I jumped out from behind them screaming OOGA BOOGA etc. They had to turn
around and look at the idiot who was screaming this. Surprise, I exploded
killing them both, we ended up winning 50-48.
I got the double kill, what happened was I got a suicide+double so that
obviously equals 1, which is all we needed to win.
SERIOUSLY, I wouldn’t normally do this, but one of my teammates was
screaming “help help help” so I had to get the kill quickly =)
Here’s a weird incident that happened to me in Matchmaking one day…
I was playing BTB Slayer and the match was Glutch Wars on Coagulation. I
was up on the sunny side cliff sniping out people and a someone managed to
hop in a tank which was by the base were it spawned. Well one of my buddies
saw this and fired a couple rockets at it and blew it up.
Now what happened here was the odd part…
At impact of the second rocket the tank blew up and flew in the air above
the base away from me rapidly spinning and rotating non stop. It then
somehow managed to become suspeneded in mid air while still violently
twirling about.
After about 5 seconds of it doing so (and me laughing at the game physics
glitching like crazy) the tank magically disappeared and reappeared on top
of my head and squashed me. I then got “Killed by the Gauridans”
A couple of people saw this happen and they couldn’t stop laughing (as
well as myself) because this was so random.
hey guys it’s terminatorllama. i have a pretty funny story. so one day my
friend came over and we were doing split screen on xbl, him being my
guest. i went into a custom game with about 10 guys from podtacular. we
decided to play the game where everyone sits out except for two people.
when one of them dies another one comes in and he sits out. you play
until someone gets to 10. anyway, i was one of the two people in. my
friend was sitting out. but then i noticed that all i had to do was look
on my friend’s screen to see exactly where the other person was. so i just
kept looking on his screen and owning them. it was funny. i wentt 10 and 0.
no one knew hhow i knew where they were. it was fun. keep up the goood work
guys!
well it began in the pregame lobby when me and my friend were playing team
action sack and another person said my name sounded arabic so i decided to
act arabic and see if he would buy it. Then i got the bomb ran straight
into the base shouting ala at the top of my lungs armed the bomb and when
i respawned i told them i reched the great paradise before all of them
because i am a servant of ala and nothing stands in my way to paradise
except 4 blue heathens which ala shall smite and claim victory over all
The other day I played against some modders who used the BR but instead of
BR bullets it shot sniper bullets and they killed my team with one shot
every time haed or body shots and said you were sniped by …. O ya and
one time i played with a guy in a custom who could shoot warthogs out of a
BR ghosts out of a sniper and Wraiths out of a pistol. It was pretty cool
Anyway, my tale from the fox hole is a 1v1 slayer to 50 (in lockout). It
was a really close game, the game changed hands many times until the
closing seconds. It was 49 to 48, I was up by one. We then found eachother
at the elbow near the teleporter for the final fight (hopefully final for
me). I shot at him with duel SMG.
At that point, he jumped over me and stuck me, but fell off the edge of
the map. I died, 49 to 49. But, since his shields (because of my SMG) when
he died from the fall, I got the last kill I needed to win… 50-49.
Pwnage ending. Anyway… if your interested in the Rubik’s cube thing…
here is a youtube link if ya want it… >.>. I hope to get good enough at
halo 2 to join either Pro A or Pro B. PODTACULAR PWNS ALL! Period. Except
for Master Chief of course.
One time in 1 flag CTF on Zanzibar. The score was tied 1 to 1 with one
round left with the opposing team on offense. After a minute or two they
kill 3 of 4 members of our team (me being the last one alive) and get the
flag in a warthog. I am at the seawall by the stairway to the beach. At
this point there is about 15-20 seconds left the hog comes onto the beach
and the flag guy gets out a short distance away form the capture point. I
run down by the hog to attack the flag guy but a rocket hits the hog and
kills me but it flips the hog on the flag guy and rocket guy gets a
betrayal. I assume the games over as I watch the rocket guy pick up the
flag then he gets booted by the guy he betrayed about 4 feet from the
capture point and time runs out and we tie the game.
My Friend (GT: MimicsShadow) just got Xbox Live and we decided to play Double Team cuz I had my GT over at his house… We signed in, This was his first live game…We ran into some guy with the GT: EMP1RE (For Bungie’s Banhammer) and one of his friends… As soon as we got into the game (2v2 Slayer on Midship) we started glitching and telepoprting randomly…Every grenade hurt us and we couldn’t hit ‘em at all. It was any legit gamer’s nightmare…
We couldn’t hit the enemy, we missed and they dissapeared and reappeared without warning, we teleported up and down in the rooms and backwards and forwards…
Summed up in one word: NIGHTMARE!
Afterward they were kind enough to tell us they weren’t “Modding, we Were Standby-ing” – Quoted From EMP1RE
If you ever ( and I’m sure you have) get into a game with a standbyer, see if you have a chance, if not quit. The game ended 5(Us) to 30 (Them)
Ok so this one time at band camp….I mean Turf, we were getting modded and
it was CTF. So I think they scored twice and we didnt score our first time,
so they had it in the bag. Tha Back Wudz, RobbedBike and I got the flag and
I managed to superbounce out of the level. 10 minutes later, they quit and
we won.
Hey guys its niteshadow I have a story for the foxhole. One game of snipers
on Headlong we were down by 3 points. the whole other team thought it would
be funny if they hide the remaining 3:00 minutes. I could here the noobs
laughing so i knew i was close with ten seconds remaining i finally found
them in the crane building under the little room under the stairwell and
stuck one and got a killtacular and we won by 1. It was Freakin awesome.
PS foo mo is my hero!
ok i dont have live but i was playing at my friends house and i had just
hopped down from the br spawn following a guy and he went and jumped over
to the sniper tower middle and and i saw him jump down on the ramp and i
threw a nade over the tower and bounced it off the ceiling rock thing and
stuck him. i thought that was pretty awsome. but anyway thinks for giving
me something to do while im mowing the yard lol. love u guys and, bam
bam!!! keep up the good work pro b all the way
This just happened recently and Foo mo you were actually in the game I’m
referring to. We were playing Jaws on Coagulation and it started out
normal everyone jumped on the tank and we could see the sharks a.k.a Foo
mo and some guy named cannonball coming at us. All of a sudden I was on
the ground and I thought I had fallen off and i looked around and everyone
was standing on the ground with no tank in sight, it just disappeared. Someone yelled “EVERY MAN FOR THEMESELVES” and everyone scattered. I
don’t know if it was a “you had to be there” type of thing but everyone
was laughing for a while.
I heard from a friend that, using the sniper rifle, you could actually
snipe a grenade out of the air. At first I didn’t believe him, but I like
to think that I am good at sniping so I tried it out on lockout. I went to
the elbow, stocked up on grenades and Sniper Ammo and tried it out. The
first 4 grenades were all misses. Then, I got one, then two, then three.
After five minutes I got 10 in a row, only reloading when the clip ran
out. Is there anyone who thinks this is as easy as I do? Because now I am
no-scoping them for fun.
Ok, I was play Team Slayer on Zanzibar. My team was losing and the other team was camping at Camp Froman and my team had just “given” them the worthog. And by given I mean drove it to them and died. I had just spawned in the bomb-plant base. As I was running out I saw three of them headed for the worthog. I decided to throw and sticky. I saw that it was going to be short. Thought “oh crap I missed” but as I watched the grenade I saw it bounce up and sticky the underside of the worthog. It blew up and I got a triple kill. It was one lucky stick.
Later that game after the worthog respawned a couple of times. I was heading for Camp Froman to get the sniper and I heard the worthog behind me. I turned and saw only one guy in it. I panicked and threw a sticky on the ground in front of it. then the worthog ran over it and it stuck to the tire. But when it exploded the guy died but the worthog kept on rolling and ran me over. My team still lost but I had some really weird sticks and I don’t care. And those are my tales from the foxhole.
Dear Podtacular, one night, a couple of my friends and I were ripping it up
in Team Slayer. We ran across this one particular group of guys during
matchmaking. We fought them on beaver creek and won. What a happy ending,
or was it? We wound up going against them on our very next match on
Lockout if i remember correctly. Again, we pwned the crap out of them a
second time. After that, my team and I discussed how humiliated they must
have been, after being beaten twice by the same team we laughed about it
the pregame lobby. Two rounds later we played them again fir the Third
time! What are the odds? (we won that match too)
After some serious pwning we went on to play some unranked games and had a
wonderful time with that in hopes of not letting our luck get the best of
us. Later, we went back to Team Slayer and after a couple of matches we got
matched up with the same group of guys AGAIN for the fourth time! I said
to my friends “these guys have gotta be really pissed now”. We all went in
with a carefree attitude expecting another easy win. But we were wrong. The
actually beat us. I was pretty disappointed that we lost to someone who we
perceived as a “bunch of noobs”. We’ll at this point we were anxious
about getting that win back, so without hesitation we rushed back into
team slayer and got matched up with those crazy mothers a fifth time. This
time it was personal. The map was Ascension and we talked trash during the
game. After the end of that round we lost some how and we trash talked at
the end of that too. And these guys talked back so good that it made me
feel depressed. After that I retired from Halo for the night and learned a
very important lesson; when having multiple succession in matchmaking, its
best to know when to quit.
so one time i was playing a custom version of crazy king on beaver creek.
the hill moved obviously and everyone had active camo, no shields, and no
motion sensor turned on. it was 15 minutes to win. there were 16 people
and this was a 2 person team game. which meant there were 8 teams of 2.
it seemed simple but when we got in game we realized that it was
rockets….thats when the game got insane. people were doing triple kills
and they didnt even notice since everyone was invisible. i even told this
guy, “yo man that was a nice shot” and he replied saying “i killed you?
wow am i insane” yea people didnt even know they were getting kills. no
one really bothered about the hill for a while since whereever the hill
went a torrent or rockets and grenades went with it. so me and my partner
developed a strategy where we went in one at a time and ran straight
through the hill. this got us a few seconds a peice but the time added up.
near the tail-end when every team had atleast 13 minutes of time on the
hill people started to camp on it having no concern about dieing. i knew
we wouldnt win so i started to camp on top of the red base. just as my
luck would have it the hill spawned right behind me near the teleporter. i
saw multiple ‘ghostly’ figures rush into the hill. the strange part was
that no one fired their rockets…they just stood there adding time. i
asked what was going on and one guy said ” we want the game to end so we
are just gunno get time and not kill anyone, everyone has agreed to that”
the ironic thing here is that not everyone agreed. i asked my partner and
he said he was told about it. i figured what the hell and shot my rockets
and threw my grenades into the hill. what happened next was probably the
best achivement ive made in halo 2. i fired the rockets near the edges of
the group and then my grenades took the center of the group. i landed a
total of 9 kills. then doing the honourable thing i went to the hill and
got the rest of the 15 seconds my team needed to win
we were losing 15 to 5. My friend quit so i was by myself. They had both
snipers and rockets and one of them super jumped. I killed the one that
didn’t super jumped and i got his sniper. I killed the super jumper. I
Tied them at 20 with 10 seconds remaining. I couldnt find any of them with
only 2 seconds remaining i jumped of the small tower and no scoped one of
them and one by 1.
So I was playing on Relic in Big Team Skirmish (I think), and as soon as
the game starts everyone on my team starts just dropping dead instantly. And I mean dropping literally. Y’know how when you spawn, you appear a
few feet off the ground and drop? Well, the other team was forcing spawn
points on us, and sniping us before we even touched the ground. They
modded the weapons too; the BR shot sniper bullets, the rocket launcher
shot almost as fast as the SMG, and somehow they brought brute shots and
Banshees into the level! Banshees are impossible to get in Relic FYI,
without modding, of course. My entire team quick pretty quickly, but I
stuck around to capture some of it on video, and I even broke free of the
instant dying long enough to fly around in a Banshee myself! But then the
game ended, just my luck. I edited some of the video together for your
viewing enjoyment, as a bit of proof. Maybe you could link it or let me
upload it somewhere on your site? It’s just on Youtube right now. Here’s
the link:
I was playing Burial Mounds and some nub had auto aim, superjump, unlimited
ammo, superfast shot mods. I don’t understand how they are doing mods with
the old maps nowadays. He just jumped on top of the base and I guess they
just hold R. I think that to stop all this cheating, Bungie should in
Halo 3 instead of doing the whole host thing, have a server where the
server is host and not the players. It would be able to check for mods
too so they would be banned as soon as they entered the lobby. If we did
a bungie only host there would be no standby either. I hate how people say
I cheat when I never did just because I’m a 38. It’s because so many
cheaters are online that they suspect better people to be cheaters as
well. I just get box host so I don’t get matched with bridgers which are
the bulk of the cheaters.
This is my story from the fox hole. My team was in the pre game lobby
before a tema snipers game and i didnt know any of them. When all of a
sudden they said ready guys 1 2 3 and WA BAAAAAM! They all lagged
themselves out on purpose. I was like ahhhhh no im gonna loose. The level
was burial mounds so went and hid like a baby by the covenant sniper
hopeing to pick of straglers. When there score started to go negative. OMG
they were team delevelrs YAY (even though a do hate delevelrs this was one
time i didnt mind) I walked over ther and talked to them and got them to
show me how to get on top of those black pillars sticking out of the
ground in front of the sword.
