User:Dark Neptune

About Me
Hello all, I am Dark Neptune, or you could call my real name, Valdric. I am from the Southeast Asian country, Singapore(Ya, the "small" island) I came to Halopedia to learn more about Halo, as I became a real fan. I started playing halo through Multiplayer from Halo 2, introduced by my friends in Feb 2007, and gotten really good about it. I came to Halopedia by learning about it from Wikipedia in August 2007.

Now I am such a somewhat pro that when playing multiplayer I need to have minor handicaps. Still, I can't beat Legendary as its TOO Difficult for me. Unfortunately, I do not have Xbox Live due to personal reasons and matters, but I still enjoy playing it. I do not own a 360 yet, but I am able to play Halo 3 through my friend's house.

I am in Secondary School(a.k.a High School?) this year but ain't going back to school due to personal and family reasons and matters respectively(Note: Finacial probs are not included). I am an amateur astronomer, so if there's anything astronomy-related stuff from Halo you need to ask, I will be glad to answer.(Have to make sure I know the answer hehe...). Here at Halopedia, I will try my best to crush vandalisms and forum probs regarding Halopedia. I am not easily bad tempered by "personal attacks", so if you offend I should forgive.

Note: The reason why I am creating my user page now instead of months ago which then I join Halopedia, is because I went on like this forever-not knowing how to create of edit pages for fear I do something terribly and horribly wrong, and it was time I learned. So if I did something wrong free to email me at Valdricolim@yahoo.com.sg

Remember at Halopedia, we're here to have fun and learn.

Strategies
1.Never try to play hero on large-open areas where you're prone to vehicles/snipers/explosive weapons/grenades, especially when you're playing single player(Free for all) games.

2.Do not try to waste precious vehicles/equipment/weaponry/grenades....they play crucial roles for both you/your team/opponents.

3.When wielding Energy Swords or other powerful weapons that are usually one-hit-K.O.s, always try to find an Active Camouflauge powerup and then quickly hide on a strategic spot, like where players alight from Man Cannons, where Flags are held, etc. This way, you slash/overoast/smash/trash/stuck them to death.

4.When piloting a Wraith, always try to nicely ask someone to be on your Plasma Turret to decrease likely chances of Hijacking. If you cannot afford to or the turret guy dies, boost the Wraith at the opponent(s) and they should die unless they are overshielded. Also, beware of opponents that are experienced. They will usually try to jump up and down, so in some cases, when boosting your tank, they happen to be jumping up instead, giving them opportunities to hijack your tank.

5.When deploying Radar Jammers, always be on the move, as recently more players have been able to spot "real" enemies are now. When you have no objective in mind(like going to take a Rocket Launcher at a spawn point)nor fighting, and knowing you're near your opponents, always try to move crazily about(Foward, diagonally backward, to your right, etc.)but be sure not to be too crazy and you must slowly advance to the enemy, thus you can easily assasinate them.

6.Never stay in a Bubble Shield nor behind a Deployable Cover for ALAYL(As Long As You Like), the purpose of these equipment is to provide cover:Giving you more time to restore shields faster for you to go back into Combat. Otherwise you will be just wasting time and meeting the choice of long, pain death.

7.When Dual-wielding Weapons, always try to fire at will:Not to fire one of them, wait for it to run out of magazine ammo or overheat then fire the other, you will be wasting opportunies to throw grenades and deploy equipment.

8.When having a Fuel Rod Cannon, take advantage of its power and number of Fuel Rods you can fire, as due to a somewhat large magazine, at close range battles you can wreak havoc on your opponents, but make sure you do Jump like a monkey. I can't really say the same for the Rocket Launcher, but for the Brute Shot, yes, it is also rather Havocy.

9.When you see an opponent battling against you using Plasma Grenades, try to avoid them, and if you see a Plasma Grenade just pass through, that would mean you're stuck. Rush Towards your nearest opponent. Let's just hope he's or maybe even she's unprepared. For spike ones, they detonate only a sec after the touchdown on you, so there's barely a chance.

10.Never try to Dual-wield the Mauler shotgun with Plasma Rifles, Plasma Pistols if not charging a bolt, SMGs or Brute Spikers. Since its firing sequence is different from them, you will have trouble firing the Mauler, because according to science, this causes your brain to usually side the fully-automatic weapon type and can't help but to be rather un-cooperative, unless you're special. But with the Magnum Pistol, it should go well as the firing rate is nearly the same.

11.Try to always push explosive stuff(except grenades which never co-operates) and Mongeese towards Man Cannons-launching them always gives you a chance to splatter and crush everyone that encounter with these objects(Including your allies on team games).

12.When using weapons with small reticles, always try to aim for the head. Aiming for the head of opponents takes unshielded ones with one accurate shot, and takes those with shields down faster(Exception: Sniper and Beam Rifle which takes just about a one hit kill on a moderately shielded one, and perharps more on better-shielded ones.) These weapons are the Battle Rifle, Magnum Pistol, Sniper Rifle, Spartan Laser(Yes, because it also can travel at farther distances), Covenant Carbine and Beam Rifle. (Note:This section isn't fully completed yet, will come up with more strategies soon!)
