Halo is different things to different people. For some it’s a virtual arena to flex their massive made of 100% MLG muscles. To others it’s a canvas for creating art with the addictive object layout editor. For most of us it’s a place to escape the stresses of reality and enjoy massively good times with our friends. That means backing them up when they go blindly charging into battle. That means betraying them as many times as possible in social games where everybody but one person on the other team quits. That means inventing new and creative ways to teabag your favorite MJOLNIR armor wearing friend. Basically it’s everything in this video and more. Amazing kills. Amazing betrayals. Amazing times.
*I may or may not be a Matrix-y ninja bad ass at the 1:18 mark. Achilles asked if I would man his gigantic, powerful turret. I accepted and shot its load all over the red team. Achilles and I both liked it. Don’t know about red team though.

This is awesome, and sums up why we all love Halo. Good job angel!

Awesome vid
I definitly love the super matrixy 1:18 mark Gauss hog clip, it reminds me of all the times me and my friends have a few shootouts, and we both jump, but I manage to jump off their head and land on locations that would otherwise be unnaccesible, and they turn around, stop shooting and just go “Wtf man?”
I am indeed a Halo ninja =P

lol nice stuff. I loved the hornet teabag at the end.

This video just makes me want to go play halo. :)
Love it.

At first I was like ._.
But then I was like O.O
Nice Work guys!

At the end = best teabag ever!
I have a couple vids that would’ve been right at home in that montage.

Shameless Self-promotion.
I pressed X to veto.

Haha ending was hilarious!

I still dont understand why every single FPS does not whole-heartedly copy forge and its video recording features. It is without a doubt, why Halo 3 is such a huge success. It would have been popular sure, but not as long lasting. I stopped playing halo a long time ago. But I still love seeing videos and will go back to try out some weird level that became popular.

bs angel! You got RECONS! Awesome! How!?!?!
Posted by MR Jones93 sk8 on December 21, 2008 at 5:55 pm
Epic lulz at the end. That is deffinetley the greatest teabag I’ ve ever seen.
Posted by Queen 0f Blades on December 21, 2008 at 6:22 pm
Nice upside down shot. :P
Posted by mopy09 on December 21, 2008 at 9:53 pm
I love these kind of videos. That gauss-flip-kill shot was awesome.
Posted by Achilles1108 on December 21, 2008 at 9:54 pm
Oh wow. Thanks for putting this up. I have been playing for a better part of the whole day today. That move was astounding. I had to stop for a sec because I saw two wheelman medals put up real quick. Needless to say when I went back and looked at it I was amazed even more. It looked even better in slow motion. Thanks for capping that angel.
As for the other parts some of them are just the normal course of me and my friends playing. The other two notable exceptions would be Leche’s awesome wheelie and TGP splattering that guy with the Elephant. Those were just too sweet not to add.
Now apparently the “Hornet Bag” by Obi Wan Stevobi is the thing that most people are talking about. That was a result of a party split. It seems like when we get split Obi and I find each other repeatedly and go at it. That instance Obi got the better of me and rubbed it in with pure style. (I bow my head to you for that one good sir.)
Once again thanks for the comments and thanks for angel posting this up on her blog with the bitchin write up.

Upside down Ninja style Gauss shot to the Head…Awesomeness! :D
A Hornet T-bagging would be painful though…As if one ton of spartan on your face wasn’t bad enough.
Posted by TofuDragon7 on December 22, 2008 at 1:39 am
Hornet-bag! – Hilarious!

So let me guess; Angel, you were the one driving the warthog on Rats Nest? If it wasn’t you, then you really should have been taking notes. j/k
Posted by Achilles1108 on December 22, 2008 at 7:16 am
@At Shaky Shotgun
Actually that was me driving on Rats Nest. I was drunk, we were winning and I am an asshole.
Posted by Desert Rat on December 22, 2008 at 7:26 am
Yeah, well I may or may not have been the driver of that Warthog you blew to hell at 1: 18. >:(
Anyway, great vid!
Posted by BSG Daffy on December 22, 2008 at 7:54 am
That 1:18 shot was epic. I loved it.
Posted by AJENSEN4970 on December 22, 2008 at 8:28 am
Achilles – Amazing vid buddy!
Angel, Thanks for posting this vid! You know, you need to watch out for this guy Achilles… things like what you see in this vid are always bound to happen… He kinda runs with a rough crowd…. LOL
Truly, some of the best game chatter I’ve ever heard has been while playing with Achilles & crew… That was an amazing barrel roll with the Gauss Hog, certainly worth showing in slow-mo.
But I have to admit, Stevobi does have the most amazing assault with a Hornet that I’ve ever seen.
Thanks for giving me a laugh first thing in the morning… It’s a great way to start off.
AJ

i love the hornet tbagging
Posted by XerxdeeJ on December 22, 2008 at 9:18 am
“DUDE!”
That’s what I said, outloud in front of co-workers, when I saw the barrel-roll Guass kill at 1:30. Nice shots. Nice gameplay. Nice editing. The Cult Rocks.
Posted by Obi Wan Stevobi on December 22, 2008 at 9:19 am
I know what it’s like to ride Achilles’ big powerful turret. At first, the length and girth of it can be overwhelming and intimidating. As you get your hands on it’s hard exterior and it starts to heat up, you feel such a powerful, manly rush that you never want it to end. Just me and Achilles, thrusting round upon hot, steamy round, spewing them fourth at spartans and elites alike. Then, just when you think the massive, powerful turret will overheat, and that you cannot possible continue to weild it’s power, the ride comes to a frenzied climax. The only way I can describe it is perfection.
It always leaves me pretty drained and weak in the knees, so we usually take some time to enjoy a good steak dinner before I get back on his huge, manly, powerful turret.
Posted by Viktim on December 22, 2008 at 10:21 am
I did the exact same thing as DeeJ. “DUDE!”
Angel, that was indeed Hawt. You’re a ninja. Now if you’d just learn how to throw grenades PAST your teammates instead of ONTO your teammates… :)
Posted by bs angel on December 22, 2008 at 12:43 pm
Viktim, I have decided my plasma grenades are magnetized to be attracted to teammates. That’s the only reasonable explanation I can think of to explain it!
Posted by Helveck on December 22, 2008 at 2:21 pm
I believe after reading Obi’s comment in reference to Achilles, that I will now proceed to the nearest, garbage/someones pocket to vomit profusely.
In other news… Great Video! Lots of really wicked clips!
Posted by AJENSEN4970 on December 22, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Angel, I have teammates with a similar condition… it’s ok as it makes for good laughs later.
Posted by Gilver on December 22, 2008 at 10:01 pm
Wow, that gauss double kill was AMAZING!!
That vid was insanely awesome and fun!
Now I want to play again…I need to renew my subscription first!
Posted by AmX15 on December 23, 2008 at 7:17 am
I laughed when I saw the hornet teabagging at the end. Very nice video!
Posted by Crazyeye0 on December 23, 2008 at 12:38 pm
Is the Upside-down Gauss hog kill available in anyones file share? I want to keeps it =P
Also, what’s the song used for the video?
Posted by bs angel on December 23, 2008 at 12:55 pm
I clipped it. I’ll get it up in my File Share within the next few days. :)
Posted by Crazyeye0 on December 23, 2008 at 2:06 pm
Ok, thanks =D
