Postgame Carnage Report

Guest Absences: Mark Hubert

Overall Player Rank:

J.P. - Bellicose and playing with extreme prejudice, J.P. didn't like it when his team or he was killed. Many tried to not make the mistake of arguing with the "King" at his own party, but not many took it easy on him. He sided with the best of the best on half the rounds and leaded assaults with honor.

Weapon of Choice: Sniper Rifle

Vechicle of Choice: Tank

Greg- Keen precision and dedication to consistency, Greg exhibited the marks of an experience skilled warrior of all lands. Although neck-to-neck with Karl in kills, his predilection for the "Ghost" will always be his trademark. Perhaps the most heroic standoffs were when he sided with Karl and raped all that threatened the commonwealth!

Karl- Precision, stealth, and tactics are the three most devastating attributes of Karl's near unstoppable arsenal. When cloaked with a Rocket Launcher and Handgun, Karl was like a "Predator from Hell" slaughtering helpless child. When sided with his compatriot "Sir" or Greg, both formed one juggernaut force that men shudder at the sound of... and sends people off PO'ed to play other games...

Mike- A man of the cloth, and a curteous, dedicated player to the Halo Tournaments. Mike played very well and showed off his mad skillz with precision over a barage of fire. Although he almost left due to a confrontation with J.P., he stayed and played until certain individuals gave up.

Greg, Matt O, & Karl vs Matt & Mike

Greg- Proved to be a vital team leader that kept watch over the flag/base. His snipering skills have improved incredibly. Greg's attitude and respect is always appreciated. Greg is notorious for his predilection for the Ghost, thus if one see's this warrior on one GET OUT OF HIS WAY!.

AWARD: Elite Guard

Mike- His tactical stealth and unpredictability constantly kept his foes busy. In 8/10 times he would win in a duel. Stealing/getting away with his team's flag was very challenging. Thank you Michael for your dedication to the tournaments and the letting us use your Xbox.

Matthew- Matt's comedic attributes helped ease the tension. His stealth was average, but his player skill in increasing steadily. Although he is not an expert, Matt proved to be dangerous in conbat. Thank you Matthew for always making us laugh.

HONORABLE MENTION:

David- David is getting better in the art of assisting teammates. For instance, Michael would lead the charge, but if he died, the opposing team had to deal with him. Unexpected attacks were brought by this questionable warrior. Keep up the good work. Thank you David your for deciation to the Halo tournaments.

HONORABLE MENTION: Best Sidekick & the used the art of Unpredictability.

Matt O- A newbie at Halo, Matt cannot be analyzed currently due to the limited alloted time that he played in the tournament. Although at times he did help out as a decoy, furthur skill improvement is required for a more detailed analasis. Thank you Matt for your attendance at such a short notice.

Matt O- Tank

Hints for Halo Multiplayer

"Trust me you'll definetly need them and more!" -Karl Morkunas

1.) Teamwork and tactical attacks are exellent and unstoppable to even the best players.

2.) Vechiles are fun to fight with and ride in, but have different weaknesses that you'll need to be aware of during gameplay. For example, the Scropion tank fires heavy artilery, but is very slow, thus a good sniper can take out the driver with one shot to the head. Another example is the warthog, it's versailality and maneveruing make it an effective killing machine, but watch out for gernades and rockets that can flip your ride. Lastly, the ghost is extremely fast and hovers over land, but it's weak weapons may seem hard to kill multiple players with, therefore running other players over serves as a better tactic with this vechicle.

3.) Dodging vechicles (maily the warthog) may prove to be critical to your survival if there is a drunk loose behind the wheels. The move is fairly simple, but may sound complicated. While at a standpoint let the vechicle come straight at you while firing upon it trying to stop it, just as the vechicle is about to run you over, make a half circle jump backwards (press left on the left D-pad, right on the right D-pad, and A to jump). If done correctly you can dodge the warthog and still draw fire to its passenger(s).

4.) For sniper enthusiasts, you'll want to find the best position high above or in an unobvious spot. Elite Snipers are the most feared and deadly foe in mulitplayer, thus learn how to stop them and/or become one yourself. Using redmedial trigonometry can prove one's accuracy when shooting. When at a far distance from your enemy, fire just barely in front of them so that they run into the bullet instead of dodging them- deadly if mastered.

5.) Gernades and close attacks; melee attacks can come in serious need and prove very effective at times. Gernades vary between Plasma (stick to your opponents;lower blast radius) and Fragmentation (regular hand gernades that are powerful; large blast radius). The melee attack is the B button; use it at close range. A good assault tactic can be used by using the assualt rifle and running up to enemy and using a melee attack. Charge at your opponent when doing this to take them off guard; shotgun will work just as well.
