Galactic Brotherhood stopped into Mid-World, and brought some fightin’ words with them. Halo was their game, and they aimed to thrill! Check out Oboe’s write up for the details.
Galactic Brotherhood vs Tied The Leader
Written by Oboe
The men and women of the Galactic Brotherhood challenged us to a three game event, and how could we say no to a group who’s ideals match our own: honor, duty, respect, and an awesome time on Halo!
Results: TIE 1-1
Don’t be fooled by the score next to my name, the hard work of getting that flag out of the base was done by Booster and Laskan. With excellent coverage from Testa and the rest of the team backing them up our quick rush was fantastic and netted us our single flag cap. GBs flag cap came after a long round of holding off wave after wave, including terrifying sniper fire from the ironically named ShotgunChief. We kept our heads low, but one sneaky invis attack got the flag out into the open, and our heads were no match for her sniper fire. Second rounds for both teams were brutal affairs where each team learned from their mistakes and managed to keep the flag in house. Good game!
Results: TTL Wins 50-33
This game was an intense mixture of fun and insanity, with the score and lead constantly back and forth. The final results don’t show how close the game really was, as GB actually had more people finished on time before we did for much of the game. Fortunately everyone did an excellent job of passing the ball around for time, meaning we weren’t done but no one was far off. And Tortacular arrived at Snipe 2 with the game changing bubble just when we needed it. That bubble allowed us to get within two seconds of the win, and after a final mad scramble closed out the game. Good game!
Results: TTL Wins 100-63
Zeuz won this game for us. True, our team work and team fire was outstanding, and everyone had some amazing saves…but Zeuz took the OS and nabbed their sniper in the first 30 seconds of the game. With 16 rounds of sniper ammo on our tower, a good set up, and a few minutes not having to duck and cover from their insanely accurate sniper fire we took map control and the lead. Then it turned into a simple game of covering our side and each other’s backs. By the time power weapons had respawned we’d gained a sizeable lead, and despite a ferocious comeback by GB managed to hold out for the win. Good game!
So TTL wins the challenge 2-1-0, but the real fun came afterwards. With the main event done we indulged in a little mixer to relax and enjoy each others company. After all, what better way to end an intense challenge than with a silly zombie game? The Galactic Brotherhood demonstrated themselves to be nothing but happy, fun, friendly people who love a good game as much as we do, so the opportunity to play WITH them instead of ducking from their team BR fire was too great to pass up. Good game!
Thanks to everyone who participated in this challenge; Testa Killz, Booster, Laskan, Tortacular, and Zeuz Patter. Also thanks to our challenge practice and backup team who provided invaluable assistance in preparing both by playing in team practice and participating in strategy threads; Monte, Kylie, and Tiz Miz. And thanks to the Galactic Brotherhood, who offered everything we could hope for in a good game!
