Today is one of those days where I'm still talking about the Halo 2 matches of yore. Well, not yore, but last night. What an awesome night of Haloing -- and all of it in "Awesome-Res" for those of you with the X360+HD combo. We should call that the "Free Combo" in honor of his impulse shopping.
At any rate...here are several games sure to put a smile on your face if you didn't get to attend last night. And, for those of you missing clan members, drop some calls to the guys, wish them happy holidays, and then drag their butts online to play!
We started out with a Multi-Team battle as we worked our way into 2nd. Not much to mention here, except that the red team was really obnoxious and loud -- but they backed it up.
You think we would have won a one flag match on Zanzi, but alas, not even a flag score. I blame this loss on the lame matchmaking teammates who all left the base.
A little Team Shotguns? Yep, in team training we split apart with some other guys and had a "blast" blowing each others heads off. 23 kills for me in this match, Mondo got his requisite sticky kill -- it was on me, his teammate.
Team slayer on Foundation. Um, yeah. It was just slightly unfair putting Armleg and myself on the same team, but I turned in 27 kills (best of the night) off 5 assists from Arm as the red team pulled away by 10. Free had 5 assault kills in this match (wow).
Round 1 against this bunch of folks -- a little slayer on Warlock. Beat them by 6 in a closely fought battle, 15 kills for Armleg, 22 for myself again. Kudos to Mondo for 3 beat downs.
Then round 2 against the same team. This one was much closer, with our team trailing most of the match, right up until the final 5. We had issues unseating them from the sniper tower on Lockout, but once we did, we regained the lead and won the match by 3. Another 23 kills for me, and mentions to Mondo with 3 assaults, but 2 jumps off the map.
The rest of the bunch continued as Rhyno took my place in the party and the group lost a close King match on Terminal before beating up on the other team in Fiesta on Ascension. Kudos on the last game to Armleg turning in 11 headshots. But, he was killed by a 6 year old.
Once again, drag those not-oft-seen clan members out of the closet and plug them in. Halo is just as good as ever and with Snow coming to Portland tonight -- you just may see some of us on all day Thursday. :)

Thanks for the recap Sharkie. That was a really fun night on the H2. I really enjoyed looking at the games from last night over my lunch. Good fun and I look forward to some day time gaming Thursday if that is the case in Portland. I'll take a long lunch and be home for that if the forecast holds.
Viva la H2 and 360.
What's your Vantive queue looking like?
So Sharke... wh4t 1zzzz a "Vantive queue" Is that a new game for the 360? Is it Live 3n4bl3d?
Snow falling but not sticking, so that means no gaming. :(
Great Post Shark. I will be sure to answer the next H2 rally cry.
Timo
Nice recap Shark. I was grateful for the mute feature on a couple of those matches. The part you missed however, was Mondo freaking out when Armleg said he was quitting Halo to go play more 360 games. : )
