Game 1: Terminal 1 flag
I’m about sick of this gametype.
We’ve picked this same game for our turn in every match
in this community tournament. And since this is the 9th
game, we’ve had to play it 9 times. The reason we have
picked it every time might be because up to this point
we have won every time. Every match has at least been
stretched to a third game due to it, so on we go……
Round 1: O7AH on D
You’d think that after playing it
so much, we would all have our roles down, but our
lineup has shuffled, so whenever Cozmo and I (T A steve
L L) are in the same game we get 1 less person going for
rockets than usual. So, of course, OcR Envy ended up
with rockets and killed everyone but the wraith and
grabbed the flag. Luckily for us, he ended up blowing
himself up (apparently) after grabbing the flag. So
after this bit of luck we held strong for most of the
round. OcR almost had it out past the tracks once, but
thanks to our ingenious strategy of parking the ghost on
the flag, they never advanced it any farther.
Round 2: O7AH on O
We had our chances in this round
but were unable to bring it home. In our initial rush we
took the wraith out but flipped the car. In our second
rush we had 3 of them dead, but couldn’t get it out of
the base quick enough to avoid them respawning and
raining SMG upon us. For a while we were even in their
wraith, and in the last rush we even brought the flag
back to the front of our base with all four of us alive.
It all would’ve been perfect except OcR Nemesis was
waiting for us at the top of our base. He stuck me in
the ghost which, evidently, flew into Compton and killed
him, and then Cozmo and Nomar were cut down in a hail of
carbine fire. We were all together in death lobby,
watching the counter tick down to zero.
Round 3: O7AH on D
This round was pretty uneventful.
The only time OcR came close was when McDohl parked the
gauss behind the base and shelled us till only Cozmo was
all that remained, cowering, and wetting himself. But we
respawned quickly enough to throw nades out there and
get Cozmo a towel.
Round 4: O7AH on O
This was another round of failed
rushes. I’m pretty sure Cozmo was drunk or on the phone
in this game, because this was some of the worst driving
I’ve seen him ever do. The second car rush he hit the
side of the train and we kind of rolled off of it, it
was really odd. After the four minutes had expired, I
was stuck above the dumpster contesting and waiting for
backup. They sent one guy up to get me, but I was behind
the door and hit him in the back. The next time they
sent three up, so I was forced to tangle with the sword
guy below. I caught him off guard and landed behind him
for the assassination, then I grabbed the flag and
managed to beat down two people with it before getting
killed. The flag bounced in a weird way and Nomar and
Compton couldn’t get close enough to contest.
For the first time, O7AH was
unable to pull off a win.

Classic CTF on Sanctuary
(Outcast Reborn's Pick)
Bungie.net Stats
Download The Video Of This Game:
This was a marathon; a true war of
attrition. It was classic ctf, as in touch return, and
everyone spawned with BRs, plus there was no time limit.
After the last game ended in a 0-0 tie, we knew this
game could go on for a while because the teams were very
evenly matched. To use Cozmo’s words, “whoever has to
use the bathroom fir…….”, then he died. (If anyone ends
up downloading the huge video, they should listen to the
first minute of conversation, and then jump ahead to
near the end of the video. Everyone sounds delirious,
its really funny.) It’s reminiscent of the old halo 1
days of CTF in blood gultch. (I can’t wait for the next
lan!).
Because I can’t really summarize
what happened, ill just give a timeline thingy….
0:00 – Game Start
5:15 – We realize that this could
take a while
7:25 – OcR rushes right side with
2 guys, 1 with left, and have Envy with snipe cover.
Nemesis grabs flag and makes it halfway back before O7AH
all respawn and catch him.
9:07 – Combo in hand, rush in left
side with Nomar sniping behind and grab flag. We are
both quickly killed and the flag is returned. Cozmo and
Compton follow up on the right side and grab flag again.
This is also quickly returned.
12:30 - O7AH grabs flag again, OcR
returns it in less than 5 seconds
12:50 – Compton does worst Howard
Cosell impression of all time
13:38 – I shoot Knight’s grenade
out of midair
14:30 – Cozmo goes in solo and
brings the flag out while the rest of us kill people in
the middle. Cozmo dies in our rock garden, Nomar takes
the flag the rest of the way and caps it. O7AH leads 1-0
15:00 – Delirium begins to set in.
16:40 – Both teams grab flags. OcR
guy chooses the wrong way and runs into returning O7AH
guys. O7AH guys throw down OcR flag and return our flag.
OcR guys catch up with O7AH guys and return their flag.
18:50 – OcR Envy runs past Compton
to kill me
19:30 – Nomar runs in right
side while most of the OcR guys are on the left. Thanks
to Cozmo’s advice “Throw grenades and they’ll die” and
Nomar beating down the sword guy with the flag, Nomar
scores again. O7AH leads 2-0
19:50 – More delirium
22:39 – O7AH uses strategy of
annoying other team with crazy accents to grab the flag.
Victory appears certain as we have three guys right next
to the flag as its 10 feet from cap point. Nemesis shows
up with snipe and ruins the party by sniping all three
of us while we scream like babies. Nomar runs across
base to grab flag and cap it but also dies inches away.
Madness sets in.
23:18 – OcR grabs flag and tries
to take it through the middle Chinese army style. I run
behind Envy for 10 seconds meleeing, trying to
assassinate him. I feel stupid, but finally do it and
return the flag.
24:00 – Compton yells “Let’s do it
again!” and grabs flag. This time O7AH means business
and quickly runs the flag home. O7AH ends it 3-0

MLG Slayer on Lockout
(Neutral Slayer Pick)
Bungie.net Stats
Download the video of this game
After the second game, it
was getting late and Nemesis decided it was bedtime, so
they subbed in Scorch
The most commonly yelled thing in
this game was, “Where are we going?” The only time
anyone was really set up anywhere was for a brief period
when I managed to escape the snipe tower with snipe and
we set up at BR tower. But that didn’t last long, and
shortly thereafter we were back to being scattered
around the map. Those types of games are really the most
fun in Lockout anyway, and this game was no exception.
The short time holding BR tower
had us at a 15-10 lead. After I ran out of snipe ammo
the team made its way to snipe tower, But we didn’t have
snipe or sword, so we were basically getting constantly
assaulted until we were overrun. Cozmo kept asking, “is
it secure?” The answer was always no.
Once, they cleared everyone out
but me, and while they respawned in BR tower, I kind of
snaked my way around, sneaking up on people for a while
and clearing the snipe tower out. Then everyone spawned
back with me in snipe tower. But as soon as they came
back Scorch crashed the party and sworded us all out.
Then we were back in BR tower with the game tied 31-31.
Cozmo made big play by sticking
the sword guy and living. So for a while he had the
sword running around in snipe tower, while Nomar and I
ended up in the green room somehow. Whatever we were
doing was working, because our lead slowly increased
until our lead was 45-40. We traded kills until it was
49-43. We spotted Knight dropping below lift and I went
into the green room to get a jump on him. Little did I
know, McDohl was down there grabbing shotgun. He shot me
and then meleed me, but the shotgun did to him what it’s
notorious for, it failed him when it was most important,
and the game was over.
O7AH
wins 50-43
O7AH
wins the matchup 2-1 |

Good games guys!
Well, all toll, we spent 55 minutes
playing these three games. By far our longest challenge
yet. And yet, it was one of the best matches so far.
Fighting in a war like that can bring people together,
haha. I feel like I left a piece of myself in these
games. In 50 years, maybe there will be a documentary
where they take players from each team and bring them
back to Sanctuary and make them talk about what
happened, WWII style. Seems like a strong possibility.
Anyways, the OcR guys were really cool, despite us
moaning and whatnot. We should set up a Clan Challenge
later and have a massive 8v8 CTF game to 10 caps or
something. I think that'd be epic. We could make it an
annual thing, that way we could remember the day of the
Great CTF Game, haha.
