Just as 343i brought in the new year with a new bulletin, we are bringing it in with a new podcast to talk about said bulletin. This week’s bulletin has a somewhat different tune to it however. We have a beautiful letter the community that gets read on the show, but it’s something that you should go read for yourself. We hope to bring you many good podcasts this year and we thank you for trusting us as your source for everything unofficially Halo. Enjoy
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 aixnekko. Read a little more about her below, then hit her profile to learn why she considers herself a master of the splatters!
Gamertag: aixnekko.
Origin of Gamertag: It’s supposed to be Japanese. Translated: lovexcat.
Current clan/community: Waypoint.
Halo game(s) you are currently playing: Just Halo 4. I have 1, 2, 3 and 4, though.
Favorite map, game type and playlist: Solace and Complex, Infinity Slayer and Capture the Flag, and Crimson DLC. I die so much in Capture the Flag, and I blame it for my K/D, but I enjoy capturing flags with the Mongoose. I’m also a Splatter Master, so I enjoy maps with the Ghost. xD
Preferred control scheme: Bumper Jumper and Default.
Halo playing style (offense, defense, sniper, driver, etc.): I’ve been learning not to rush and wait for them to come to me. I’m pretty aggressive, though. I get a lot of Plasma sticks on teams. For some reason the Storm Rifle became my most used weapon and the one that I’m most comfortable with. I also use the DMR. I have a loadout that combines both.
Favorite Halo Character: Can I say the Grunts? I wish they talked in this Halo. It was my favorite part in the others. I played the campaign with the Birthday skull, and it was hilarious. xD
Favorite Halo book: Love reading but Halo hasn’t appealed to me yet. Maybe one day.
Favorite Halo quote: “He was my best friend and now he’s dead!” – Grunt
Anything else we should know? This past year I decided to pay serious attention to my Xbox. It’s been going well…
