Easter Eggs

This week on Easter Eggs I have a not so much known 1 that is found on the last mission "Halo". Its to hard on how to explain how to reach it but I will tell you that it is a man in his boxers jumping up and down. Im sorry but it is veryhard to find a good picture of it but if you want to see this Eater Egg go onto YouTube.com and type anything related to Easter Eggs or anything to do with a man in Halo T-Bagging.

Versus

So for a while I will be giving my blogs to you guys on Wednesday's, Thursday's, and Friday's since I don't have the Internet back yet at my moms house. But if some of you want to read why I don't have it check the blog below this 1. Last week on Versus it was a tie again, but 2 extra people voted, now were making some progress, to me I like the Banshee so we couldn't see who really won but hopefully soon more people will visit this site. OK so anyways this week on Versus I have 2 very deadly weapons that easily can kill anything with just 1 head shot if you do it right. There is 1 for each side of the war, 1 for the Covenant and1 for the UNSC. Their names are the Beam Rifle and the Sniper Rifle. Each of these weapons are about the same when it comes to damage, but what are their effects? Well the Beam Rifle may shoot quick, but after 2 quick shots with it you could overheat it and slow you down, while the Sniper Rifle doesn't have overheating and has a good shooting time. This week its all about time with these weapons.



Just For a While

Still our computer at my moms house isn't working. We refused to pay the bill because they said we didn't pay it. They want us to pay again and we said no and I will get Internet back in a few weeks when the next payment is due. So since I'm able to use my dads computer at his house every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. That's when I will give you my blogs like Versus, Easter Eggs, and Bungie's Weekly Update.

Bungie Weekly Update

This week on Bungie we have a man named Mat Noguchi. Noguchi is a Senior programmer responsible for the unexpected, whether its figuring out why throwing a grenade when jumping off the Pelican crashes the game, making the game load faster for artists, or helping designers figure out how to reduce loading time. Basically, anything that someone else isn't officially responsible for in the game. He started at Bungie in the year 2000 in December. In that time he was 6 months into his first full-time job as a programmer in Visual Studio. Soon after being bored of that his mentor told him he should get into game programming. So when he saw an empty seat for a tool programmer for Halo, he took the test, aced it, got the interview, and here he is. He managed to write the level editor for Halo 1, upgrade the sound engine and provided some clutch work for Halo 2, and wrote the caching engine for Halo 3.

If you want to read more go onto Bungie.net to see what brought Mat Noguchi to where he is now.

Master Chief?

Ive seen these pics a few times, but I always wondered if they were true or if someone was just messing around and wanted to do a joke and question people like me. Is this really the Master Chief that's hidden behind that helmet, or is it just a random computer graphic? Please leave a comment or a message to tell me what you think.

Easter Eggs

This week on Easter Eggs I have a special 1 that is only found on Sand Trap. Some of you have probably heard of it before, its called the Dav Vinci Egg. For the people who saw the Dav Vinci Code you should remember the Egg. For those who haven't, it had many sides with different symbols on each. You can only find it on forge and its near the giant Guardian that is beside the space carrier up in the sky. I have never seen it myself but can be found on YouTube or any other sites that can show videos. I can tell you how to get it on what I've seen on videos but it would take to long, so see it yourself by going on YouTube and typing anything like Dav Vinci Egg on Sand Trap or something related to that and you should find it.

Versus



This week on Versus I'm using 2 vehicles. There is 1 for each side of the war. 1 for the Covenant and 1 for the UNSC. There both air vehicles and can give anybody an easy killing spree and even a killing frenzy if you know how to use them well enough. Their names are the Banshee and the Hornet. Although the Banshee has a better paint job to my opinion and can fly quicker, the Hornet has a turret and can carry a group of 5 people including yourself as the pilot or the passenger. At the end it would be a very interesting battle against these 2 dominant flying vehicles.

Once Again

Sorry guys for not getting the Versus post up this week on time like last time. Last week I got in trouble and now are cable isn't working. Not that we cant pay it, its just that Bright House said we didn't pay are electric and we did before we went to Orlando on vacation. So I'm using my friends computer today and I will hopefully be able to post it today if I have enough time. But anyways it was a tie against the Gravity Hammer and the Energy Sword. To my opinion I like the Energy Sword because I like the feeling when you kill somebody with it and that it doesn't take up half of your screen like the Gravity Hammer.

Easter Eggs




OK, this week on Easter Eggs I decided to put up something that maybe you guys probably know about but for those who do keep reading, there called cavemen. In the mission Sierra 117, when defeating the first big crowd of aliens at the loading dock where the snipers shoot across the riverside go back into the jungle where there are some more snipers lurking on top of trees and rock ledges, just keep following through the jungle on the left side and you will come across a rock ledges stick close to them and make sure to eliminate all the snipers in the area. After that climb higher up and there ledges and you will come across a couple of cavemen and 1 of them is holding a teddy bear!!! There is also another caveman at the other loading dock where there holding Johnson hostage at. Its right where the skull is at in that mission. Your going to need at least 3 people to find this caveman, once you get into the corner where the skull is at climb on top of 1 another. Once that's done do a jump combo where you all jump on top of 1 another into the air very high, once you land on the top, just walk further on the rooftop and you will find a caveman up against a rock hiding. If you guys have no clue what I'm talking about look at these pics to get a better idea or leave a comment and I will answer as best of my abilities to answer your questions.










Versus


Sorry about not putting up my Versus blog on Monday. I got in trouble so I couldn't use the computer for a couple of days. So today I will be giving you guys Versus and Easter Eggs since today is Wednesday. So anyways for Versus I used 2 very close related weapons that are very dangerous up close and face to face. There both are owned by the Covenant side and are very powerful and can kill in a swing if close enough. Their names are the Gravity Hammer and the Energy Sword. The Gravity Hammer is very unique for that it could damage you even if you don't touch them with it. There kind of like a grenade. You don't need to hit them just get close enough and with just 2 swings you would be dead. The Energy Sword on the other hand may not affect you without touching you but can kill you with its easier aim. The Gravity Hammer nearly takes up half of your screen space when roaming with it and it can get kind of annoying. So please tell me your personal opinion by posting a comment or by voting at my poll that is on the upper right hand corner of this blog.

Bungie Weekly Update





Today on Bungie.net, a man named Michael Wu is part of an environmental art team in the video game world. Before working at Bungie, Wu was still in the gaming industry back in ,98. His job was a larger company focused on a corporate agenda with fairly restrictive licensing agreements. That said, he had really great people there whom he still enjoy talking to and hope to work with again someday. When he first started in Bungie he was first a level designer and then became an environmental artist when the Oni team merged with the Halo team back in early 2001. Their team doubled in size with each subsequent project and he now serves the team as its manager. So instead of creating art work directly, he helps the team get things done and make sure each artist has a clear and exciting career path to explore. If problems arise in project scope, tools, scheduling, or personnel, its his job to get people together and fix it. If you want to read the full story go onto Bungie.net to see.

Rumors of Halo 4

Yes, its true. On IGN.com there is a big story about rumors of Halo 4. Supposedly the game starts off at the end of halo 3, when the elites, now allies with the humans, planned to return home. Arriving there, they find that covenant survivors have claimed the planet as their own. The marines are notified, and gladly help the elites to take their home back, in thanks for helping mankind. The 2 forces preform a joint attack on the covenant prime base, starting a huge battle. Then..............sorry if you want to read more go onto IGN.com to see the full story.

Monday's and Friday's

On every Monday and Friday I will be posting special blogs on those days so you guys have something to look forward to. On every Monday I will be having a blog called Versus. Versus will be a poll/voting blog where I will give you guys specific things in the game of Halo 3 that would be very interesting if they went face to face. It could be what map you think is better. What weapon is stronger, or it could be what vehicle is the most dominating on the field. So the possibilities are endless. Then on every Friday I will post up Bungie's weekly update on my blog so if you guys were looking at something you could just scroll up and look at the update from here.

Best Map in Halo 3

High Grounds is my favorite map. Most of my friends that I have mostly like Guardian. I hate Guardian for that it has really not that good of weapons on the map except for the shotgun and the gravity hammer. But High Grounds does. The reason why I like High Grounds so much is that it has good weapons and a good background theme. I mainly like outdoor maps for that you feel like you have more space to roam around in. The weapons I like there is the shotgun, spartan laser, the mauler, the sniper rifle, and so on. It also has some good sniping places that I like where not to many people know about. But I will tell you the spots. Many people that start off at the beach just go sniping where the over shield is. Not saying its a horrible spot, its just an original spot that people know about and can kill you quick and the tree branches are in the way of your sniping space also. My 3 favorite places to snipe on High Grounds are: 1, on top of the canopy on either end inside the base (the only way you can get up there is by getting a grav lift and droping it under the hole so you can jump up through the hole and land on top of the canopy). 2, on the rock ledge between the beach and the base and 3, right on top of the missle pod launcher at the end of the base.
