What does the Halo Experience mean to you? It is a question with an infinite number of answers. With more than a month under our grenade belts on Reach – not to mention a solid decade in the service of the United Nations Space Command – playing Halo can hold unique expectatons for each of the millions of gamers who spin any of six discs in their tray.
For some, Halo is a universe to explore, disecting every moment and every corner of the story missions. For others, Halo is an arena, with endless possibilities for engagement against sentient targets. Halo can be a foundation on which to build, a stage from which to entertain, or a lounge where one can socialize. The facets of the action play to every specialty – every fighting style. A mutliplayer engagement can be a dogfight, a sniper duel, a firefight between posses, or a street war between sects.
For this gamer, Halo has always been a heist operation. My Halo Experience is about theft and capture. My proudest moments of glory occur without me firing a single shot. The war stories that send my pulse into overdrive are search and rescue operations. My reward comes from my passenger putting a point up on the scoreboard. They don’t pass out medals for that. They don’t need to.
My Halo Experience is intact in Halo: Reach. How about yours?
Wow…I wanna play Halo right now! Nice work.
Marry me.
Well done. TTL is quite the well oiled machine.
Very nice!
Very well done Deej. I just finished watching it for a 4th time.
Get Some!
Sweet stuff! This is the kind of stuff you can tweet about! :)
Deej, have my babies. Let’s rock some big team soon.
Why does this video have to be only 3 min long? I want more.
Nice work guys! Game start, Flag taken, Flag captured, Game over, other team = What just happened? Answer; they got our flag, duh.
Long live Gunslingers.
Team first individual second. The very best it’s been for me is when the odds are against you and you pull off that miraculous win or flag snatch. When you’re down a guy or out ranked. This always has to do with the group playing to their strengths and helping each other out. Clearly mainstays of TTL.
Great display of awesome teamwork! Really impressive work indeed.
Very nice hoggin there TTL! Cool vid too.
So I watched the video before I read your description of ctf as a heist operation and that’s what I was thinking the whole time. That could be because I watched the Italian Job today, though.
Either way, good co-ordination Roadkill and Strike. And good video.
