Master Chief’s Buttery Love

Learn the Maps, and the strategies used on them:
Every map is laid out in a specific fashion for a reason. Bungie has done a fairly decent job of keeping most of the maps balanced terrain and weapons wise. However this doesn’t mean that there aren’t certain strategies that should be employed for specific maps. One such strategy that I like to use when playing team slayer on Narrows is to focus all attention on the bridge and hold that. If you can find the focal point of each level and maintain a hold you should gain some advantage. Some maps have lifts that will fling you into the air, these provide excellent places to kill and be killed. Throw some grenades up the lift first to clear your way, then proceed up yourself. You can also use these to access high perches that are great for sniping.

Run Away:
Who said there was any shame in running away and living? On team games there is no reason for you to be the lone hero. Strategy and teamwork are very key, giving free kills to the other team as you charge all four of them alone doesn’t help. If you find yourself being out numbered the best course of action is to duck and cover (run away) until you can have a team mate assist you. That does not mean you can’t throw sticky grenades back at your enemy while running away though. Some of the best kills have been made with stickies thrown in desperation run away attempts. Besides, it looks cool to show your friends later.

Avoid Fighting in the Open:
A lot of the maps in Halo 3 are center specific, meaning they have a centralized kill zone. Gaurdian for example has three circular kill zones that are wide open. Typically these areas are fantastic bait for grenades and rockets. You should try and avoid running blindly through these places at all costs. On the other hand, if you can find a nice spot to sit and hurl large exploding objects at players that are careless enough to run or stand in the middle of these open spots, you should do so with zeal. You can rack up double and triple kill medals pretty easily if you get a well placed rocket into the middle of a team standing clumped together in these sections.

Halo 3 Drives Gilbert Arenas To The Dark Side

Posted by admin

Not only are teenagers addicted to Halo 3, but super star NBA players are as well. Gilbert Arenas has been linked to sponsoring Halo 3 tournament teams, and is now caught up in a whirlwind conspiracy theory and stat doping scandal.

GameSpot is reporting that the Washington Widards guard has been accused of padding his stats on his gamertag on Xbox Live. And whats worse is that Arenas has confirmed the story. Stating that he and a friend used two dummy accounts in unranked matches to swap wins to inflate their gamertags.

I’m not sure which side of the coin I fall on here. On one hand I dislike people that do not earn the reputation and ranks through honest play and skill. But on the other hand, it was in unranked play and realistically who does it harm?

Bungie to my knowledge has not released any statements on the developing story, but there is a madhouse of speculation running rampant on the Bungie forums.

What do you think?

Halo 3 Will Make You Money

Posted by admin

Halo 3 has been out for almost a month now, more then enough time for people to develop addictions. I’m including myself in that statement by the way. While I was ruthlessly putting down some obnoxious high schoolers the other night on the Valhalla map using a sniper rifle I had a thought to look up the Major League Gaming website after the match. So 50 kills later I’m surfing their page and finding some interesting information. I might just quit my job! (but not really).

Prolific gamers such as TSquared and Walshy have paved the way for others, but its not going to happen for everyone, in fact very few will make as much money as those two have from playing video games. There is hope however! With the release of Halo 3, MLG has begun to increase the online tournaments it is hosting.

The buy in price for tournaments is 20 credits which works out to be about $15, not too bad, especially if you’re in the 4v4 team tournaments. Top players are making $250,000 a year under contracts. The online tournaments are a great way to get your name out there and start your entry into the MLG. Every tournament the MLG hosts, has spots for Pro Gamers, Semi Pro Gamers, and the rest of us.

Start practicing today.

If you aren’t a Halo 3 player, consider it. The amount of buzz and tight community that surrounds the game is massive. Having news and articles about Halo can increase your traffic substantially if gamers find it useful and informative. Advertisers also spend an incredible amount of money sponsoring the gaming world, and as a result the money per click is very high.

Halo 3 Makes Crack Addicts Cry

Posted by admin

halo 3 Halo 3 is ridiculously good, period. With all the hype marketing surrounding the launch of this game I was skeptical it could live up to the promotions and lofty goals that analysts were spouting left, right, andcenter. Halo 3 not only lived up to it, it surpassed what many thought.

The single player campaign consists of a fairly long game play arc. The levels are well thought out for the most part, with a few exceptions. Starting from the beginning level all the way through the final levels, Master Chief is thrown into the battle non stop. The story line is a bit hard to follow unless you are a Halo fan and have played the first two installments of the game however.

If you are new to the Halo series, you should find an online guide like the one at Rampancy.

Once you get through most of the levels you will be engaged in the storyline and want to keep playing until the somewhat anti climatic finish in my opinion. Here is where I think Bungie didn’t make a definitive choice with the fate of Master Chief. I won’t ruin the end of the game for anyone who hasn’t played it yet, but there are certainly some questions with the way the ending is handled.

The multi player experience on the other hand is absolutely fantastic. It looks and feels like the old Halo multiplayer, with the updated graphics, maps, and the Halo 3 engine. The new maps are for the most part extremely well laid out and even. There are two exceptions to this, two maps that really screw me up anytime I play them. The maps “Construct” and “Narrows” are to me a bit non friendly for multi player action - however they force gamers to rework strategies and team options for team slayer games.

There will be a new Halo 3 section on here somewhere, since I’m well on my way to creating a large addiction to the game. Your thoughts on the game so far?
