Mythic or Mithic?

Yeah so it's actually spelled "mythic", but I've seen a lot of people being lazy. Anyways, this past Saturday I went to the local game store and pre-ordered the collector's edition of Halo Wars. You all probably know that it comes with an early download code for the Mythic Map pack for Halo 3 plus some other goodies. Well, unlike a few people I know, I am not just getting it for the maps. I actually enjoyed the demo when I played it and thought it was a really good game. Yeah RTS's really aren't my style, but this is one that I like. It has simple controls and great gameplay, plus I can use the Scarab when I want to in Skirmish. I have a feeling that I will be playing the Skirmish mode more then the actual campaign in it. I really don't know what map I will play a lot and I don't know all the maps, but the instant classic map from Halo: CE makes a return in it, Blood Gulch.



Also you may take note that I changed the background of my blog, hope you like it. I liked the Guitar Hero one, but I thought it was time for something new and saw this one. Now if only there was either a Grunt or Hog one, now that would totally own.



Some of you may know that recently I reached my 1,000 kills with the Warthog chaingun turret(see below post). Well that's the first 1,000 mark that I am aiming for, I am also trying to get to 1,000 wheelman's. Though with the way I have been driving recently I hardly see that happening anytime soon. I guess I have been getting better, but not to quickly as to get the 447 soon.

I was recently introduced to Squad Battle which is a Ranked 6v6 with slayer and objective games in it. It's pretty fun from the few games I played of it. It's got the covies variants which I haven't played in a long time and back then I used to swear by it and thought it was the best gametype. It's a good playlist, but I like Social Big Team much better though. I find it more relaxing and not so serious, maybe it's just me I don't know.



Anyways, time for some good games that I had.

Multi Flag CTF on Valhalla. This game was great, me and my driver got into a hog at the start and made hit and run attacks on their base to clear them out. Well it worked and got me a Killing Frenzy, but no one would get in there and grab the flag plus no one was at their base while we were doing this also.



Now with these next two games, there is a certain order in which they will make sense. This first game was Multi Flag CTF on Rat's Nest. Yeah this game we got spawn camped just a little bit. I mean yeah you could say that they kept us out of our base, but that wasn't the case. We got shut out, but this next game tells the tale of revenge.

Multi Flag CTF on Sandtrap. Yeah this game is the exact opposite and we faced almost the exact same team from the last game. Okay so me and CX4(I need to find a new nickname for him) started out this game by going on the attack. It worked and we get the early lead since no one stayed at their base. Lots of other things happen and we manage to return the favor and shut them out this time around.

More Multi Flag CTF on Valhalla. This is a good example of base defense once the team gets it together. I'll explain that a little more, the game starts everyone on our team goes out and assaults the other teams base for the first few minutes. They then sneak a mongoose in through the metal wall side and take our flag(Granted we spawned at the lake front base not the waterfall one). They get no further then the center before our entire team is on the poor guy carrying the flag. They repeat this same tactic several times again before part of our team finally stays back and defends the base. That's where the Sniper Spree and Killing Frenzy of mine come in, plus the Killing Spree of my friends' come in. I still can't believe we got our defensive game together and won.

Here are a couple older games that I found with some searching.
My first Social Running Riot and two Overkills. Yeah so this game I got my first social Running Riot plus two overkills on the Hog turret. It gave me 29 kills with to go along.
My First and only Social Rampage. Here is my first and only social Rampage I got in a game of VIP.

Okay, finally here is a short little clip I took this past weekend of how to take a Hog out in under 30 seconds. Click me. Yeah, it's pretty sweet so check it out if you have the time.
That's it for now, Halo Wars is coming out soon so expect me back then.
