Seriously that singing was priceless!

Community Tourney Match

vs.

-Written by Cozmo23 (1-17-07)

Well we started off the Community Tournament against Podtacular. I have seen them featured in Bungie write-ups numerous times, but didn’t know much about them. It took a few minutes to get both teams organized and a member from Pod graced us with some singing while we waited. Half way through his second set he mysteriously vanished and the game was underway.

We choose this game a lot because its one of the few games we have a set strategy for. We all have “Roles” as Compton would say, and do the same thing every time. I made a seemingly devastating mistake about 10 seconds in to the game. I flipped the warthog over and thought they were going to drop in on us from the ledge. We managed to recover and Compton took out their wraith and Steve got a triple kill on the Guass. Chevelle65 bravely held us off with the rocket launcher, but we “Chinese Armied” (See Definition on forum) in to the base for the score. On defense we managed to keep the wraith alive and they launched some harsh attack on us, but could only get the flag to the tracks. Round 2 we drove in guns a blazing and happened to get to them before they could get their defense situated. Pod used an amazing strategy on their final offensive round. They were having some trouble taking out the Wraith, so they used it against us. They jumped in grabbed the flag and I quickly betrayed half of our team. This allowed them to work it out of the base and into the garage. Unfortunately the wraith is just a big hairy American killing machine and would not let them get it out of the garage. It was a good match played well by both teams.

O7AH takes it 2-0

The Pod guys went with this because they said that they played it in the humpday challenge with Bungie. Lucky ducks! It sounded fun so I was excited to get in the match. The pod guys really came out swinging and put the hurt on us up front. We lost the race to the OS, the rockets, and the hill. They had about 6-12 seconds on all of their members and we barely had any. I think the only thing that saved us in this game is we only got one guy in the hill at a time. This allowed us to get two of our guys their minute and have them cover the other two guys. Although this was easier said than done, you could set your watch by how Pod was constantly blowing up the hill. I think it took me 4 lives to get my last 2 seconds. In the end

O7AH won 1:00 - 0:19

Pod switched its roster up for the third game and let JVN come in for chevelle65.  I didn’t have the video for this game and to be honest I wasn’t paying a lot of attention to what was happening. I grabbed the sniper and just protected it the whole game. I couldn’t get very many good shots, those Pod guys are very elusive creatures. Before I knew it the match was over.

O7AH takes it 50-16

Good games guys!

Well it was an intense battle. I would like to thank the Pod guys for playing us. They were good sports and showed us a really awesome gametype. We will look to set up another match in the future. Check out their site at www.Podtacular.com
