Farewell to Halo 3
Halo 3 has one more week to live before the launch of Halo Reach, so what better way to send it out by joining Podtacular’s farewell tournament. Representing IGC in this tourney was Midge, Wally Smalls, and Slick WillyQ, together we were known as the Red Minjas. Although we were elminated in the first round of the tournament against STSK (Skills That Scores Kills) we enjoyed participating. Here’s a quick rundown of the carnage:
Game 1: Team Slayer on The Pit
We worked well as a team with callouts and teamwork, however we were outmatched by gunfire from all directions. STSK team shoot their way to victory with a final score of 41 to 29.
Game 2: Team CTF on Citadel
This was a long and painful game for the Red Minjas. STSK scored fairly early in the game which forced us to play heavy defense in order to prevent another capture. We were able to hold them off for a good ten minutes, but they eventually broke through our wall and scored once more giving them a comfortable lead. We were able to get their flag back to our side of the map while they had ours on their side of the map. Back and forth for 5 minutes each team would try to return their flag in order to score. The Red Minjas caught STSK by surprise with an energy drainer landing on the flag carrier, he was dropped quickly and the flag was returned. Midge quickly scored after our flag was returned. The game lasted the full 20 minutes with the final score being 2 to 1.
I cooked up this montage as a farewell to a great game. We are all looking forward to Reach, but until then think about all the good times had in Halo 3. What are some of your great moments from Halo 3? Post it in the comments.

Greenday + Oasis = cool stuff
Great job Willy.
Loved the video Willy, excellent job as always! Thanks for representing us in the tournament; even though you didn’t emerge with a win, it looks like everyone had a great time, and that’s what matters. There are so many great memories I have from Halo 3: Spending time with two close friends at the midnight launch (and then proceeding to stay up all night playing), LAN parties, playing in the Bungie Humpday Challenge, participating in the Xbox Community playdate, and many awesome gameplay moments, including http://tiny.cc/flag_run/.
