Halo IRL: Anchor 9

Halo is a fictional universe. However, sometimes we catch sight of things in real life that remind us of our favorite science fiction video game franchise. This particular series, titled Halo in Real Life, showcases those very moments. Enjoy the subtle Halo references sometimes spotted when out and about in the real world, and if you have a picture you'd like to submit for possible future inclusion, send it to bsangel[at]halowaypoint.com!

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 DecepticonCobra. Read a little more about him below, then hit his profile to learn what franchise just won't die within him!

 

Community Member of the Week

 

Gamertag: DecepticonCobra.

Origin of gamertag: Mixing of the two titanic 80's cartoon villain organizations/groups, the Decepticons (Transformers) and Cobra (GI Joe).

Previous or current clan/community: I hail from the mythical land of Bungie.net. I mostly stuck around the Reach Forum and the Universe Forum. Giving a shout out to the Mirratord group: you made a great writer out of me.

Halo game(s) you are currently playing: Reach.

Favorite map, game type and playlist: Ridgeline, Capture the Flag, Big Team Battle.

Least favorite map, game type and playlist: Spire (DIE IN FIRE!), Territories, Team Slayer (don't mind it, but I just prefer Objective game types more.)

Preferred control scheme: Recon.

Halo playing style (offense, defense, sniper, driver, etc.): I prefer to stay on the defensive, usually with a sniper rifle or tank. However, if me and my team need to push, I'll be the first to lead the charge.

Favorite character: Chakas (Cryptum). His somewhat primitive perspective on the galaxy around him gives the Forerunner Saga a unique amount of depth. His current fate also has a lot of cool potential.

Favorite book: Primordium.

Anything else we should know? Whatever you want to ask....
