In Response To: HBO MM night highlights (Revenant1988) : Last Thursday members of HBO waged war on the killing fields of Reach. Ah : yes, it was brother against brother- a departure from our typical HBO vs. : Randy and it did not disappoint. Many games were played, and much fun was : had. Let’s take a look at a summary of that evening shall we? : 5 flags were captured : 7 bombs were detonated : Territories were held for 449 painful seconds : 4 objectives were invaded : You killed each other 2012 times : You committed suicide or betrayed each other 51 times : [editior’s note: LOL –Rev] : Some of that may not seem like a lot, but as those who were there may tell : you, every flag capped, and every bomb detonated was earned, and no : objectives were lost without a fight until the end. Many games ended in a : tie, showing that even if MM split the teams a little unevenly that : communication could match skill. : Even if it was un-godly loud in a couple of games. : The Players : Here is a roster of those who ventured into the jaws of HBO MM that night, : and of those that MoltenSlowa drove off a cliff FOR NO RAISEN. May they : rest in peace…or pieces. : SquidNH3 – Better than he lets on : MoltenSlowa – Still trying to get that learners permit : padraig pr7me – Must…ruin….bones : Revenant1988 – Accident prone : SNIPE 316 – “I suck” : Ultimate RC – “I’m aliv- FUUUUUUUU!” : Bones 153 – Angry face : CortanaVII – Can’t fly : Spec 0p Grunt – Objective: get the objective : iMonkey777 – Sex:KABOOM : Mid7night – recording this right now : Stabbim - doesn't look both ways before crossing the street : nomis78 – can’t drive 55 : KoRnyMunKy - OOOOOOOOOoooooo : ScaleMaster117 – blinding killing you with science : Masterxtp1 - did someone order a warthog? : Gnrl Vagueness – dazed and confused : ZaneZavin –better than you : Bluerunner - he can surf : Znite – “this is going to ruin my K/D” : We started off with a nice warmup game of territories on Tempest, and then : dove into Invasion . I must say that invasion is much more enjoyable : against people you know. Games were even score wise, with neither team : winning the 3rd phase. : The elite is me- one of the few times I was able to sneak up on Squid. I’d : say he was my rival for the majority of the night. : : You see that down there? Yeah, that’s the objective we were trying to cap so : hard. Do you see the 30 sec warning? Yes? Well, what you don’t see is me : saying, “IT’S OK GUYS, I GOT THIS” : : Here’s how that played out for me: : Oh, and here was my teams last try to get that damn core: : The next invasion match on Boneyard didn’t go any better. Both teams were : stymied at Phase 3. You see kids, we all knew Bones’ secret strategy for : taking the core in the other direction. So when you play against your own : team, you have to invent new strategies. : So, being the nice guy I am I just thought I’d ask Bones for the core. Here : was his response: : (At least he’s smiling, right?) : When we were able to get by Bones we still had to get past iMonkey, who was : having none of that. He also kept yelling KABOOM for some reason… : : Here is their teams last push for the core. I’d like to think that given the : circumstances, what I did to slowa was acceptable :P : : From there is was a healty mix of slayer and objective. : My team sets up for domination : : The second falcon we got that game. Cortana really wanted to ride. Or get : chopped up in the rotors. I’m not sure which. OH, and those of you with a : keen eye may notice Padraig shooting at Bones. I think this was because he : managed to get to the gunners seat first. I think his exact words were : “neener neener” : : This is midnight. I wonder what he’s shooting at? : : Oh right, he was shooting at me. All because Padraig HAD to have the “shiny” : warthog. : : Nomis drove into a bad neighborhood, and got robbed by the MK V Marauders : gang (aka Revenant + Padraig) : : It was caught on video. : : Stabbim was also the victim of an unfortunate car accident. : : : It’s Red vs Red, and Blue vs Blue. It’s I against I and me against you…. : : : Look! It’s Snipe! And he’s doing something other than sniping! I have proof! : Snipe and Paddy taking RC Master to safety, flag secured. : : Meanwhile, ScaleMaster keeps us guessing where our flag is : : My team…it was like deer caught in a headlight. There was no where to run : from ScaleMaster’s murdermobile : : Snipe doing his best to make sure I stay out of his teams way. : : There is a video of him and I in a DMR jetpack duel but its too terrible to : show here. It would be embarrassing for us both. : Snipe ending both of my tank sprees…. JERK : : A really fun game was Neutral Assault. My team managed a 2 point lead. Blue : team was able to rally a few times for some solid drives into our : territory. : Korny refused to get into Slowa’s hog. At the time Paddy and I couldn’t see : why. Clearly, Korny knew what would happen and wanted no part of it. Sorry : RC. If it makes you feel any better, we bailed on him as soon as you died! : : Here they are, gearing up for something… : ScaleMaster led this drive to Red base. Very clever having the escort hog act : as a decoy for the objective hog. : : And here is how that plan went, viewed from the eyes of their gunner, : iMonkey: Do a barrel roll! : : You may have noticed that our teams warthog appears to have caught some of : those plasma rounds… well, it did. Oh, Nomis, I’m sure Paddy is sorry haha : : Padraigs view aka blow up ALL the things! : : I tried to stay in the middle with the Plasma launcher, hiding in the rocks : hoping to block their vehicles before they had a chance. Well, The thing : about the PL is that it’s slow, and stupid. So slow, that its target was : taken out faster by MoltenSlowa, and stupid that it couldn’t stop itself : once he took over my target. My bad, slowa. : : We played a hell of a match of Assault on Mt.Lam Lam. IDK what the eff Lam : Lam is, but I can tell you that blue team was just mopping the floor with : us kill wise. Znite and ZaneZavin were the bane of my existence that game. : Neither team could arm the bomb, but those two had us pinned to about a : 3rd of our half of the map. It didn't help our team that bones had to : leave, or Slowa’s questionable driving. For example: Me: I got the bomb, : lets go! : Slowa: YEAH!!! BACON!!!1!!!11!!! : Me : what what are you? no no NO NO NOOooo : Slowa; BAAaaaaacoonnnnnnnnnn : : IDK who that blue guy is, or why he followed us to a grave of stupidity. : That's all I got. If you want to check out the larger versions of the : screen shots or download the video clips check out my recent screenshots : and file share. : http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/Default.aspx?player=Revenant1988&sg=0 : It’s not often we fill a full party of 16 with HBOers, but when it does : happen its pretty special. : That was a lot of fun. Thank you everyone who came out to play, and to those : who saved and rendered films from that glorious evening. I had a blast and : I can’t wait to do it next week. : Comment and discuss! Or yell at the ones who wronged you! That was a lot of fun! I remember my Ghost splattering. Before each hit I told myself Armor Lock would blow me up but it never happened.
