LANsanity Part 2: Halo 3
18 years ago
General
Screw online gaming! I hate most of it anyway because of the honorless play and "winwinwinwinwinatallcostsevenifIhavetoplaysupercheapordownrightcheat" attitude!
(Note to anyone who shares my view: Play with friends you know. Only. Password your games. Talk about the game rules first. And to avoid all unpleasantness? PLAY CO-OP GAMES. I highly recommend Halo 3's co-op mode, or the co-op from any of the Halo games for that matter.)
Anyway, I am writing this addendum to the LANsanity journal to bring you the Halo 3 version of my squad's infamous destruction derby!
Meet Mongoose baseball! Set up the game as detailed in my last journal, except also throw gravity hammers into the mix. Gravity hammers have hilarious possibilities; you can deflect grenades and even rockets with them, I'm told! They really send players flying, and the Mongoose is the perfect vehicle to combine with their blast! (Ghosts don't work so well because they're hover vehicles, and warthogs are a bit too heavy.) So get on a Mongoose and charge a buddy with a grav hammer - and have him send you flying at the last second! Whee!
But wait, there's more! See where you can get a Mongoose for an even more ridiculous jump! Remember the big turbine in Zanzibar (now called Last Resort in Halo 3)? Get a Mongoose up THERE and launch it with someone aboard! Serious air time!
We drew a bit of a crowd doing this at the local cybercenter. See how many people you can convince to join the stupidity!

We need an 8-man Demo Derby for sure Lynx, THAT would be more fun than you could shake a stick at! Or, 360 controller. >.>

Oh good heavens... the scary thing is we could actually pull it off at the Cybercenter. That would be... pure... insanity....
