A friend picked up a copy of Halo MCC yesterday, so we introduced him with Halo 3. We got a group of 4, and eventually 5 together and did a multitude of different game modes. One of the first we did was Juggernaut on Epitaph.

The entire battle ended up staying contained to the little balcony in the screenshot. We’d spawn in, make a break for the balcony, and then kill the juggernaut before having it stolen from ourself.

Our match ended with us all accidentally killing each other at the same time. I hadn’t even noticed this until going back through the theater for screenshots, but i thought it was a pretty cool coincidence.

We also did One Flag on Guardian. This game was a lot of fun because being separated into teams we had to strategize really hard. Grenades seemed to hold dominance here too as they could be used to clear a hall before the enemy got to us. Combine that with the AR and short hallways and it was a fun challenge.

The winning point ended up being scored by me, as i flanked around the back and led the other team on a drawn out chase, using the geometry to put distance between us. They didn’t realize i was making a break for the half of the map we didn’t really go on this round, and by the time they did i was already to the point.

The final match we did was Assault with one bomb on Last Resort. We didn’t get off to a great start as my time, who was on the offensive, forgot to grab the bomb. We turned around though and grabbed it without wasting too much time.

We ended up going for the high ground and used the fan blade to ascend up the building. We made a break for the landing and made a slam dunk into the point and deployed a bubble shield to hold it.

Sadly our victory was short lived, as when we were on the defense, We got so preoccupied with one of the enemy team players using themselves as a diversion that we didn’t realize another one of them was flanking us with the bomb. By the time i had the thought “Oh shit, i bet he’s flanking us with the bomb” he had already planted it. We tried to rush over to defuse it but were too late.
