WE’VE GOT A NEW KING!

Epic connection problems with Halo : The Master Chief Collection resulted in unplayable games. Parties were torn apart from each other, then hidded, locked, pushed into new parties. It was a disaster! Luckily, we were prepared. It took only a few minutes to connect our three remaining Xbox 360s up and the tournament began in earnest with 16 matches of Halo 3, followed by 8 matches of Halo 4.

Our first batch of players: Nick Phoenix/Nick, Lady Cake Ninja/Janel, Ivan0003/Eddie, VK Meatball/Cruz, VK Guppy/Josh, VK Heman/Jonah (AKA Herman), and VK Eggroll/Rob.
Recuring Juggernaut and Free For All matches were used to gain points and determine team captains. Team captains took turns choosing the remaining players to fill out their rosters. Players then collected points based on team wins. This format worked well to create a good parity of teams.

Reinforcements arrived two thirds of the way into the Halo 3 round. VK Guppy was replaced with Brady, VK The Dude/Isaac, VK Hippo/Paul, and VK Your Face/Aaron. They fought furriously to make up for lost time, but when Guppy announced, quite harsley, “Last game!” an epic match ensued. Team Blind Yellow Lynx defeated the Green Bob Cat Bears Things 600pts to 590pts. a difference of 1 kill.

In the end Eddie won the trophy with 14 points, Paul and Isaac collected Halo posters with their 9 points each.

Now on to plan the next one, and hopefully Halo MCC will have been patched up and be ready to go! My only regret is that we did not get to play Husky Raid. Next time.
