Thank You, Bungie. From the bottom of my heart, for objective-based Halo 2 games. I just discovered how much fun they are.
Let me tell you my INCREDIBLE :) Story.
Eight on Eight custom game on Containment. Im on the blue side. I tell my teammates to guard the base while I go for their flag. I take a left and go through the tunnel. It opens up on my right side after a time and reds and there, not far away, I see reds tank patrolling the center. I crouch down and weave my way through the boulders, and make it to the next tunnel. OH NO! Theres a guy! I jump up and toss a grenade. Not enough to kill, but a few rounds of the SMG finish him off.
I continue making my way up the steep slope of the tunnel. After a time (I'm still learning this new map) I come up to the opening of their base. Theres two dudes standing there looking out from the ledge, so I crouch down behind the little center dealie and watch them. Two seconds later they both jump off the edge. SWEETNESS! So I make my way to the back of the base, and grab the flag. SUDDENLY one of them who was hiding inside the base somewhere starts shooting at me, but my jump-walking gets me far enough away from him so that I suddenly hear him say "He went through the teleporter!". FOOLS! Flag in hand, I'm jumping, leaping, bounding, up the slope of the cave. It's just me, and myself. No cover, no teammates.
So I'm at the end of one of these tunnels. It opens up near where the launcher and rocket ammo are. Running up the bridge, rockets in hand, is one of the red team. HOLY CRAP! He fires one off the rail, I jump up, barely making it through alive. I mean, I "FELT" the rocket whizz past my head. I drop the flag and whip out my SMG and begin to fire after wiping the blood from my ear. God please let my next jump time properly with his next rocket. SUCCESS! I'm flying through the air, SMG a'blazin, and before he even has time to reload his launcher, he collapses to the ground. NICENESS! I re-grab the flag and rush towards my base.
And one of my teammates, during the next round, took their flag back to our base, but not quite as easily as I did during round one. It was wicked funny cuz he was like "That score was the -blam!-!" and tossed me the flag so I could score it again. It made me weep.
It was shweet.
So yeah, I'm totally sucked into the objective based games now, and hope to get alot better at it. If anyone wants to play, msg me "Mystakool" and we'll get something going.
I've got all 4 new maps. And also it would be nice to play with some older players, cuz I'm 25 and keep getting matched up with 12 year olds.
Here's 3 reasons why it sucks to play with younger kids :
1. Their voices. Oh My GOD. When you've got a headset that sticks into your ear, their little pre-pubescent Mickey-Mouse helium voices just pierce right through my brain. OWWWW!
2. Their VOICES. In addition to just the SOUND and pitch of their voices, they feel the need to constantly YELL and SCREAM and in general NEVER SHUT UP, and that in combination with the former, well...you get the idea.
3. They have NO responsibilities and all the free time in the world to play the game. It SUCKS getting Pwned by a 12 year old girl. Can I get an AMEN!?!
So yeah, send me a thingie and well do it up.
