Who needs guns? Who needs bullets? Apparently, these Cirques just make do with blunt trauma kills using handy dandy traffic cones. Not usually a weapon of choice, these objects become pretty deadly when propelled by explosions, rockets and grenades. Traffic cones are constructed and placed to mark an area that is hazardous and are used to deter and indicate an area to keep away from. Of course, in Halo, the cones enforce their protectiveness by killing helpless players. So who has the most kills with the cone? Read on!
1st - RoVino: 13 cone kills RoVino proved to be the leading Cone killer, amassing a rather scary 13 cone kills. I am sure if you asked him, he would no doubt remember all of them, and probably exactly how he selected to finish off his enemy using the surrounding scenery rather than using precious bullets. 13 kills may not sound like a lot, but considering these are kills with a freaking traffic cone - an object not exactly famous for its brutality or legendary killing prowess - 13 kills is darn impressive. The number 13 might be considered unlucky for some, and there are 13 victims out there who will attest to that. Kudos to Ro for his impressive cone kill total! 2nd - Pharaoh Bender: 12 cone kills Pharaoh is hot on RoVino's heels, coming in 2nd with a staggering 12 kills with the harmless looking traffic cone. There probably aren't many ways to be killed in Halo that are more humbling or humiliating than by traffic cone, and Pharaoh has ensured that 12 people out there have suffered that fate. I wonder if there is anyone out there who has died by traffic cone more than once? That would be an embarrassing stat to see. Congrats on the 12 kills, Pharaoh! 3rd - Adumbration: 8 cone kills Adum sneaks into 3rd place, with a pretty cool total of 8 kills. Like the two who placed above him, Adum doesnt go out of his way to use traffic cones to kill. However, he is the 3rd best in the clan at using these little plastic cones of death. Personally, getting even one kill by traffic cone is pretty freaking impressive, so imagine that feat multiplied eight times. Nice work, Adum! Congratulations to our top three! Notching kills with a passive object such as a traffic cone is no mean feat, so to record 8 or more kills with them is good work, gentlemen. When researching this, almost all the Cirques who have logged a lot of time in Halo had at least one traffic cone kill. As always, second accounts weren't considered. Considering the rarity of the cone kill, I suspect the top three would not have changed much. Here is the rest of the Cirque top 20. Once again, I am still not in it. Stupid cones. 4th - Dolphan117: 7 cone kills 5th - sro26: 5 cone kills T6th - Addict3d 2Cha0s: 4 cone kills T6th - ThePacifier: 4 cone kills T8th - Alphawolf 45: 3 cone kills T8th - A Mad Bloke: 3 cone kills T8th - Erickbob: 3 cone kills T8th - LegendCalledJim: 3 cone kills T8th - RevDotNed: 3 cone kills T8th - PylDryvr: 3 cone kills T14th - I DiabolicDon I: 2 cone kills T14th - IXI Quasar IXI: 2 cone kills T14th - Kelstek: 2 cone kills T14th - KitKatGrrl: 2 cone kills T14th - Mania76: 2 cone kills T14th - StarsCup: 2 cone kills T14th - the dihn: 2 cone kills If you're not on this list, chances are you are either one of those people who respect the boundaries of the traffic cone, or are just not as lucky as the ones listed in the top twenty. Or perhaps you are one of the people who believe it is easier to kill with high explosive bullets, energy weapons, grenades and lasers. Congrats to all in our top twenty, and kudos to the few other Cirques who managed at least one kill with the mighty cone. So, to conclude - yes, they are orange. Yes, they are plastic and do not move. Yes, they rank right up there in terms of lethality as teddy bears, the Swiss navy and girl scout cookie sellers. However, as proven by our top twenty and especially by our top three, be wary. These harmless cones may suddenly deliver a fatal blow to the cranium. Happy Holidays, everyone, and remember - watch out for the cones! Oh..and don't turn your back on them, or this might happen... 
Ohh...and just in case you think they need guns to hurt you, watch out when they hang out with other construction equipment...
