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 Vidoc 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...

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.

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
