About Me
Hello all, I am Dark Neptune, or you could call my real name, [censored due to personal reasons]. 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 exactly Legendary always as its somewhat still Difficult for me, but Heroic itself already makes me feel heroic myself when I kill living things in Halo. Unfortunately, I do not have Xbox Live due to personal reasons and matters, but I can connect to it. I recently got an Xbox 360, so now I can play Halo 3 with ease.

I am in Secondary School(a.k.a High School, American language.) 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 me 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.

Update:I have finally got my Rollback Rights.

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.

13.Always try to have a close-quarters weapon(like the Shotgun) and a mid-range or long-range weapon(like the Covenant Carbine or the Sniper Rifle) in your arsenal. You can easily survived longer with this set.

14.When wielding Rocket Launcher, Fuel Rod Cannon or the Brute Shot, at mid distance, never aim at your opponent. Instead, aim at your opponent's path. Predict it nicely, and your "Clean-up job" would be easily done. (Note:This section isn't fully completed yet, will come up with more strategies soon!)

15.If your opponent is charging at you at a medium distance and you are planning to use grenades, try to center your reticle at the opponent's left shoulder(in your Point of view, its the "Right" shoulder)if you want to stick a Plasma or Spike grenade(s), as you are using your left hand to throw them. And as for Fragmention ones, at mid-long and long ranges, try to throw them no more than a 3 footsteps and 5/6 footsteps, as they are charging. But at medium and close ranges, immediately look on the ground and throw the grenade, which sometimes may hurt you as well.

16.If you want to give your opponent a "Nasty 'Bubble of Death'" surprise, there's a way to do it. On maps with Mancannons like Narrows and Guardian, on the spot where players would land on after they used the Mancannon, deploy a Bubble Shield. When they are about to land in the landing Bubble zone, 2-3 secs before they land(Precise timing is needed here), throw a Plasma Grenade in the Bubble Shield and ASAP run out of it. Remember, the Plasma grenade takes about 2 seconds to detonate. If you want to throw one of those grenades in the Shield 3 seconds before it explodes instead, throw at the top of the Bubble Shield, as the time between where the grenade hits the part of the wall till it falls on the floor is about 1 second or slightly more than 1 second.

17.When wielding the Flamethrower in Construct, one good strategy is to await at the Upper Floor part where players alight from their Gravity Lift ride. Once you see them, fry them to ashes. It is not advisable to do this is Solo games as in Team games your teamates can offer you some cover.
