Smackdown
Yeah! We had a good crowd on Halo 3 last night. I’m starting to get the hang of the multiplayer.
Donald and I dominated King of the Hill in multi-teams (four teams of two). We had quickly fallen to fourth place before we realized that we didn’t have to stand on the glowing point to maintain ownership of the “hill”, just to claim it. (In KoTH you get 1 point per second you own the hill.) We came back from a pretty heavy deficit (and fourth place) to claim our victory. It’s all about the teamwork.
Then Bud and Joe (Terri’s dad and brother-in-law, respectively) logged on and we switched to big team battles (two teams of 4-5) where we continued to lay smackdowns.
One of the really nifty things about Halo 3 is that you form “parties” of your friends. So Donald, Bud, Joe, and I were able to stay together as a group even as we switched game modes, servers, etc. The way it works is that one person is the party leader and the others all join. Then the party goes where the leader selects. So we could all go into theater mode and comment on fun replays, or all go into multiplayer, or all go play the single player campaign, etc. Very nice.
