Today’s game is some more Halo. I’ve actually been challenging myself to not do Halo for these just because of how much I do it (plus I’ve been busy adoring Alan Wake which helps). I made an exception today partly because I just wanted to relax with friends.
We did a forge game today that was Rainbow Road from Mario Kart Wii. I think our general consensus was that while this one had merit, the Halo physics just made it not fun to play. It was too faithful of a recreation to work with the physics.
We also did a game mode titled “Get out of my House” where we had to fight zombies off out of the “house”. It was fun, it definitely felt like it favored the defenders though which was a major issue.
Of course, while we did have fun with Get out of my House, we decided to wash it down with something we knew was a good time. Hence that brought us to Zealot infection. I don’t need to say much about this one. The map is basically perfect. The only issue is the roof top area is very easy for people to camp on, and I think I have an idea to counteract that in forge.
I ended up losing by 4 points. it was a pretty close match all around, so even if I didn’t nab second place I think everyone else would have been dangerously close.
That brings us to our final match. Just some slayer on Oni Sword Base. It’s like the White Bread option. It’s reliable, fun, and is just good however you do it. I got payback for the last match and won by 5 points.
That’s about all we got up too, there was a Halo 3 match we did too but that went by so quickly there’s not much to talk about. Tomorrow I think I’ll play some more Alan Wake 2. I have something I want to try out so I’m eager to get back to it.

I should have tried to make my racetrack into Rainbow Road. Now that’s an idea.
