Ok, so after having to cancel on Friday because of family issues, I returned to the small but frothing at the mouth circle of folks who inhabit Halo 2. Actually there was this one guy who seemed to be playing with his baby in the room, getting the kid to repeat words like noob and rofl. Awesome.
After playing the Worst Game Ever on Elongation, I decided it would be wise to try a different gametype, so I plonked myself down the Rumble Pit for some solo slaughter, and I have to admit, not worrying about wrecking your teams scores really helps. A tip to all new players in games like this, dont be afraid to charge about and get as many kills or assists as possible. Your going to get killed anyway, so take as many as you can with you. You wont get anywhere just hiding in the corner with the shotgun or the Battle Rifle, takin potshots and folks who wander by.
So, first of all was the battle I had on Beaver Creek, http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Beaver_Creek a map Im slowly getting the hang of. The main things I finally figured were to first get the Battle rifle inside the base, then grab the Shotgun from the lake and switch between the two as I run from base to base, lobbing grenades into groups of other people fighting. A handy tactic. I even surprised myself by getting a few medals, one for Mele killing a guy, and the other for sticking someone with the Plasma.
Then we take a trip to Sanctuary, http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Sanctuary a map that has in the past seen me sniped and whipped a few times in games like SWAT and Team Slayer. But here I continued with the lobbing grenades at folks and shooting em while they're back is turned tactic. And it served me fairly well. I only got one melee kill in, and I still died more times than I killed people, but it was still alot of fun.
We then suddenly got a nice surprise as the gamemode was changed to Rumble Rockets. Meaning the same map, just now everyone had twin tank killers to play with. I was really psyched, but then the game kept pausing as everyone decided to quit and leave. I really don't understand why folks cant just play through a game rather than all just abandon it if it doesn't suit them. Meh, spoilsports.
Still, after that I ended up back at Beaver Creek, and with my new found confidence was able to land 6 medals.
What?
6 freaking Medals? Wow. I'm as shocked as you guys are. Double and triple kills, Melee and Assassin (Melee from behind) including my old fave the stick. And It ended up only being 7 kills all together, after being killed at least 12 times. Plus an average lifespan of 12 seconds is a lil... yikes. But yeah, lots of fun.
Now things get VERY interesting as another Rumble Rockets gametype starts up, and its in probably my fave of the multiplayer maps, Tombstone! http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Tombstone What can I say about this game except, gg? Lots and lots of fun, running and jumping, blowing the living snot out of the landscape, explosions and rockets wooshing past all over the place. even a Double kill for me. woot. 'Veshy' of the Bungie forums gets a special mention for being a great opponent and scoring some pretty nifty long distance kills. Also DA Nickyrock for throwing his grenade at me just as I gave him a rocket in the face, and taking me down with him. Well played.
It seems Beaver creek is a rumble pit fave, because we ended up back there agaaaain, only this time it was with a difference. Everybody was given free Shotguns. Can it be Xmass come early? Much fun of running, fragging and blasting people in the ass with buckshot was had by all. I just dont think much of the SMG when it comes to multiplayer matches, gimme a Battle Rifle or Shotgun anyday. Inside the Blue base was quite a laugh. After bashing one guy who came round the corner on the back of his head, I then shotgunned the guy who was chasing him and finally stuck the first dude who just respawned. Ahh, glorious.
Then of course its Beaver Creek agaaaaain, back to the default settings. By this time I figured out you can jump up to the roof of the bases, and proceeded to batter the guy who was camped up there raining grenades and BR fire down on everyone below. Stick's and Double Kill medals also.
After deciding to call it a day, I felt it would be ok to play one final game. Wow. I really need to learn when to call it a day. I suddenly found myself on Lockout http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Lockout playing Slayer Pro, with Battle Rifles. For those of you who don't know, not only is Lockout Haunted http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Ghost_of_Lockout , but it is also the biggest sharp shooter den in the game. There is little to zero cover, and every pathway is widely exposed and you no sooner spawn than have every other player in the map draw a bead on you through their sights and riddle your corpse with long distance lethal firepower.
However, having my ass handed to me by people who know what they are doing is fine in my book, and I decided that I would at least score 1 kill in this game, which after a Looooong slog I finally did, by running up behind one distracted sniper and wacking him from behind. Woof. The game kinda crapped out briefly though, so the records on the bungie site are a lil off. Still, I got my one kill after being killed a countless number of times.
So thats the end of my meandering Halo 2 journal for today. Im working Tuesday afternoon, so catch me on Wednesday where I just may try an objective based game such as bomb run, capture the flag, or maybe some oddball.

Lastly, an Arby and the Chief movie!? Awesome. Devote half an hour to this work of a desiccated mind http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6T79yApVCBg
And yes, I will be posting art.... sometime in the future.
