File:H3 Monitor.PNG April 14, 2007 The Oracle The Unofficial Newsletter of Halopedia Hello, Oracle Newsletter Volume IX, and once again, the Oracle bids thee tidings in this release of the Oracle Newsletter, for the week of April 14, 2007!
Wha's goin' on? NEW VIDOCLOL! Apparently a new video documentary, Halo 3 ViDoc: Is Quisnam Protero Damno!, was released, and no one told me about it (shoots sideways glare at Relentless, who puts his hands up and acts innocent). Anyway, you can find it at the here place thingy, and it's about Halo 3's multiplayer. Go looky! Bubble Shield and Trip Mine are the X-Button! I KNEW IT!!! Except the tripmine... well, now you can really reenact that scene from First Strike with the frag nades and the Grunts! Sorta... meh. I'll let Relentless put in the number of days remaining until the release of the renowned Halo 3 in November...	Local news The Oracle Newsletter is HIRING! RelentlessRecusant is offering two positions - intern staff writer & graphical designer - to any interested Halopedian! Please message RR at his talk page to apply and to check out what opportunities the Oracle can provide you! Have you seen the April Fools Joke? Check it out - Cabal...and to think that some people thought that these purported cabalists were communists. *RR glares accusingly at Haloman333*
Covenant of Halopedia news File:Wiki CoH.PNG Current Improvement Article: Civil War of the Covenant Help out the Covenant of Halopedia and Halopedia as a whole by improving the Civil War of the Covenant article! Donut THX 1138 and RR are offering promotions for such work! Any ideas on how to spiff up the CoH? The Councilmen are open to your suggestions. =D
Meet Someone New! File:UoH.gif File:You Have Seen.jpg Phil.e. is the distinguished community member of the week! Although here for only two weeks, he already has over 450 edits! Who-hoo!

You can speak to him at his talk page. Once again, meet Phil.e! Wow...he's the newest user ever to be featured...i TeH am very confused...*RR slaps GPT for no appearant reason*
Randomo! File:Rainbow Six Vegas Box Art.jpg 9.6 The Oracle's Review for Rainbow Six Vegas®, Xbox 360 In the new tactical first-person shooter, you're Logan Keller. Who said so? The game did, so shut up and listen! =D Logan Keller is a former U.S. Army Delta Force commando, but was recently transferred to the counterterrorism unit RAINBOW, a special operations force with almost unlimited jurisdiction. When the very bad and unkewl international terrorist and leather girl Irena Morales attacks Las Vegas, you and your three-man team are dispatched to a bewildering number of real life locations - Calypso Casino, Vertigo Spire, Dante's Casino, Las Vegas University, etc...to take out the bad guys and restore justice to, ironically, Sin City. =D Gameplay: 10 - Sweet! You kidding? The entire game screams corybantically at you - TACTICAL and REALISTIC! Add to that the 40+ weapons you can wield... Graphics: 9.5 - Excellent. Beautiful lights, character textures... Campaign: 10 - Exceptional. Multiple hostage situations, rapelling, suppressors do things, multiple avenues of attack, infrared imaging, flash-bang grenades...and the high you get when you rescue a family of three from a host of terrorists. =D Multiplayer: 9.0 - Meh, it's okay, with a severe disinclination against newer players. It gets kinda old after awhile, too. OVERALL: 9.6 - An excellent modern tactical shooter, in the vein of Tom Clancy. File:Crackdown Body Juggler.jpg 20 File:Gamerscore.gif The Oracle's Help Guide for the Crackdown® Achievement "Body Juggler" The video game Ticket Into the Halo 3 Beta, erhm...sorry...I mean...of course...Crackdown...has just come out. While its most lucrative siren alluring players is entrance into the Halo 3 Beta some time this summer, it's loaded with beautifully done Achievements for all of you Gamerpoint whores out there. =D Okay...the Body Juggler achievement requires you to keep a body aloft in the air for 10 seconds. How to? First off, grab a dead body. There should be many. Preferably not your own. =D Next, go to the Shai-Gen sector of Pacific City and grab one of 'em sweet Firefly homing 5-rocket rocket launchers. Firefly is an understatement of the fireworks you can make with this tubule of metal, but that's another matter. Okay. Now, go to somewhere isolated, away from any civilians, Peacekeepers, etc...Now, toss the body straight up into the air a bit in front of you. Now, unload your rocket launcher. You'll need to deplete two magazines to keep the body in the air, but that's a minor price for 20 gamerpoints. =D Production Manager: RelentlessRecusant Staff Writer: Guesty-Persony-Thingy Organizational Page: Oracle Newsletter
