Results of my first Halo 3 match

I acquired Halo 3 yesterday and played a couple of games online last night. One of the cool features of Halo 3 is that the game automatically records the whole game session so that you can replay it at a later date. Unfortunately, I don't have a capture card and don't know how else to get the video of the game out into a video format that I can post to this blog.

Luckily, the game also lets you take screenshots of the action and download them. Anyway, for your viewing pleasure, I enclose a couple of screenshots from my first Halo match. If you like them, keep an eye on this blog as I will update this with stories and screenshots of Halo 3 games that I play. :)

Anyway, as I was new to Halo 3, I started off in Training Camp. This is basically a 4 player deathmatch game which only noobs will partake in (ie people like me!).


This picture is a screenshot of my very first kill in Halo 3!! Thats me in the background drilling the guy with gunfire! It was also the first kill of the match (yay me!).

Actually, although this is registered as my first kill, its probably more apt to describe it as my first suicide. What actually happened was that the guy threw a grenade at me. The grenade bounced off a wall and rebounded next to him. Basically, he blew himself up. Still, the game counted it as my kill (a forced error!) so I'm taking it! :)

Unfortunately, despite the good start, my first death followed shortly after. In the next screenshot, you can see me in the foreground chasing after another guy as we faceoff. Unfotunately, he got the better of me. :(

You can clearly see a bullet bouncing off my head (check out the blood splatter!) in the screenshot.



Anyway, the match kinda went downhill from there. Hey, its been a while since I played Halo 2 (well over a year now - possibly over 2 years) and I never played Halo 2 online either! However, after a couple of deaths, I started to get a better handle on the controls and managed to do a lot better.

I even managed to grenade tag someone with an alien grenade (which is an instant kill). For all you sadists out there, I took a close up of the grenade tag. The grenade is the big round thing on the face of the guys helmet. :)


Anyway, despite the poor start, I managed to catch up and do well. In fact, I won the match!


This is me with proof that I won the match. Strike the pose!
