Today’s game is Halo. We got our group back together for a game and did a few matches on Coagulation. I watched some episodes of RvB and really wanted to do a few games of CtF on that map.

I learned a fun new thing I could do in Halo 2, which apparently I can just let the enemy team get in the Warthog with me. We used this and had a few funny moments together where I got some friends in the warthog with me and I helped them get the flag. It was a private match so it was just us messing around.

My personal favorite part was when I got stuck in the enemy team base, and asked one of them to give me a ride home. They then drove me home in the warthog and dropped me off.

Speaking of Coagulation, this is an interesting map. I feel like it’s part of a rare breed of map that’s just weirdly large in a good way. Even I feel like its counterparts such as Valhalla are fairly small in comparison. It’s an interesting thing I thought about, though it’s entirely possible I’m forgetting a map.

Of the final match I’ll detail, we did Sandbox CTF. I think I mixed up the maps though. This one was an interesting experience. I don’t usually do Halo 3 CtF. This one was an interesting map for it because you have those slopes on each end, so you have to climb down the slopes and then backup on the other end. Then you have the open flat area with rare cover to cross. it just makes for an interesting game overall. I kind of want to see a take on this though like what people do with TF2 maps where they ramp up a certain trait of the map. I’ve seen it done to a few maps before but I’d love to see it done to others too.
