Today’s game is Halo MCC. I played some 8v8 PvP with a friend. It felt good to be back playing Halo. Halo to me is that game that just feels right to play. I could come home and turn it on and it’s like this deep seated feeling that everything will be okay, because I’m in my place. I think it’s fascinating that a game can produce that kind of effect.
TF2 is like that too. But Halo seems to have captured my heart more recently, with the benefit of my friends liking it.
Anyways. 8v8. I love this game mode because it’s so large it feels like there’s always something to do. One minute you could be charging the enemy base. Get blasted. Then be fending off an attacker at your own base. It’s so full of action, I love it.
I found out for the first time ever that you can drive the elephant. I assumed there just wasn’t a way too drive it. It’s really cool that you’re able too, because I’ve always loved sort of mobile fortresses in gameplay. So having one in Halo is awesome.
I ended off with a 8v8 Assault game on Rat’s Nest. Not my go to map for assault but it was still great fun. I should really play social games more often to get that full 8v8 action, because I miss out on it when playing with my small group.
Maybe I’ll bring them along even to join me. We will absolutely get our assess handed us, but 90% of the experience is chilling and having a blast with my friends so I’m just happy to have them there with me.
