Every Monday, we feature a community member who does one or more of the following things: routinely goes above and beyond for their fellow forum members, is a positive and active member of the community, and/or sends me mass amounts of cat pictures. This week our Community Member of the Week is A 3 Legged Goat. Read a little more about him below, then hit his profile to learn more about ma-a-a-a-a!
Gamertag: A 3 Legged Goat.
Origin of Gamertag: It’s a long story, but the short version is that I had several encounters with the animals a while ago before I made this tag. I wanted it to be something funny in the kill feed, so when I was thinking of funny things that had happened to me, the goat occurrences came to mind. Some people think it’s innuendo, though…
Current clan/community: I spent most of my Reach days with Reaching Perfection after my own group, The Guardianz, had dispersed. I also spent time with the Halo Wheelmen, Blueprint, Satyros (rip), and Forge Hub. I’ll be revisiting some of these communities in the coming months, but my main focus for Halo 4 will be Halo Haven.
Halo game(s) you are currently playing: Mostly Halo 2 and Halo 3 these days.
Favorite map, game type and playlist: CE – Rat Race, Ice Fields, and Danger Canyon. H2 – Sanctuary and Relic CTF; Snipers on Lockout. H3 – Standoff or Rat’s Nest CTF. Reach – Battle Canyon Slayer and Ridgeline CTF.
Least favorite map, game type and playlist: CE – I didn’t like Chiron. H2 – Anything on Coagulation. H3 – Heavies on any map. Reach – AR starts on Uncaged.
Preferred control scheme: Bumper Jumper in H3 and ODST; Default in Reach. As long as it’s easy to crouch and use abilities, I’m okay with it. Usually on 3-4 sensitivity, and I stopped playing with vibration because it used to throw off my aim. I can also only play on a controller that is broken in.
Halo playing style (offense, defense, sniper, driver, etc.): I’m the jack of all trades, master of none. I don’t really excel in any field but if I had to restrict myself to a role, it would be support. I’m usually the guy watching the sniper’s back, running with the objective carrier, or defending a teammate as he runs back to base with the laser.
Favorite character: Both the Master Chief and Cortana. There’s something about the Chief that just makes me feel heroic and important, and I really like how calm and identifiable he is. Cortana is the witty brainy chick who’s stuck in his head, and hearing her yell at me for most of the first two games was something I really missed in Halo 3.
Favorite Halo quote: “Get in line.” – Heretic Leader in Halo 2 on Elites wanting to kill him. “Take my advice, Rookie – you ever fall for a woman, make sure she’s got balls.” Buck in ODST. “If they came to hear me beg, they will be disappointed.” Thel in Halo 2.
