After a slight delay due to an extended NASCAR race at Sonoma, the RPWS’s stop at Guardian is over. On a high note, there were three first-time winners in the 3 games tonight. Although turnout was again quite slow, there were a good few players taking some much needed points!

And, before I forget, replays of the matches are available on my File Share, slots 22-24.

Full report in the main post.

Slayer

Gametype: Slayer Duals - Dual-wieldable weapons, SMG start
Game: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo3.aspx?gameid=568875371

Thankfully, for once I got the settings right for the game. SMG start, and all dual-wieldable weapons on the map. Although it did lead to a game of nothing but running around with SMG/Spiker or camping the Mauler.

Action cropped up early with a fight for the lead, but soon Pennywise (playing under CBTS ACE tonight) etched out a lead to hold until the end. There was a 3-way battle for 2nd, with Venom and KageTenshi eventually both finishing on 41, with TheChrisD dropping off for 4th.

Results:

1. CBTS Pennywise1 - 50
2. CBTS Venom - 41
3. KageTenshi55 - 41
4. TheChrisD - 35
5. FearfulMatrix - 30
6. CBTS Blammo - 30
7. i is preacher - 24
8. II S1ckN4sty II - 20
9. Mo Bison - 3
10. Cross713 - 2
11. Hardcore Beast2 - 0
12. MB LandOwner - 0

Objective

Gametype: KotH Shotty Snipers
Game: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo3.aspx?gameid=568900128

First issue, which cropped up quite quickly after the game start was that the weapons were still on the map. That sort of mistake usually would have lead to a game restart, however the majority of players agreed to let the game continue officially. The results anyhow show that all kills, bar one, were by the default spawning weapons, so the game was official.

After a tight opening stint, KageTenshi began to pull away with Blammo and Pennywise trailing behind. Soon, with 60 points on the board, Kage had a commanding lead over Blammo, Pennywise, ChrisD and preacher. However, soon Kage was locked out of the hill and a midfield battle took place.

However, with less than a minute to go, Venom staged a massive comeback with a lot of hill time to claw his way to second place, in front of Blammo and ChrisD, but Kage managed to secure his last few second to clinch the win.

Results:

1. KageTenshi55 - 100
2. CBTS Venom - 72
3. CBTS Blammo - 64
4. TheChrisD - 57
5. CBTS Pennywise1 - 50
6. i is preacher - 20
7. FearfulMatrix - 12
8. II S1ckN4sty II - 0

Custom

Gametype: Superball
Game: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo3.aspx?gameid=568915316

Superball has undergone a few changes since it’s inception, and with tonight’s match it is highly likely to see another change to the scoring. Ball carrying will drop to 1 point per second, and ball carrier kill will drop to 5 points. With the amount of carrier kills in huge “mosh pit” situations, this will balance out the gameplay and extend match length, since this match ended after 5 minutes.

The first minute was frantic with several players getting a good score on the board, while others still yet to get off the mark. Sicknasty with some good ball time, ChrisD with some good ball killing, and others with good carrier kills. Soon though, ChrisD had a huge influx of points by getting the ball, and holding onto it for almost 25 seconds, coupled with 4 ball kills to lead with 126. However, this brought the ball down to Shotgun spawn, which led to a mosh pit seeing 5 gamers beef up their totals.

Another attempted run by Pennywise, ended quickly and saw ChrisD take another short run with ball kills, to go dangerously near victory. Another midfield battle ensued, with preacher getting a good run but would fall short by the end. Another carrier kill and quick hold put Chris within 10 points from victory. Pennywise further secured second place with a run at the end, but the game ended with Pennywise failing to make the grav lift jump to Camo spawn and giving ChrisD the kill for his last 10 points for the victory.

Results:

1. TheChrisD - 200
2. CBTS Pennywise1 - 166
3. i is preacher - 100
4. FearfulMatrix - 78
5. CBTS Blammo - 62
6. Kill Joy 116 - 60
7. II S1ckN4sty II - 46
8. KageTenshi55 - 46
9. CBTS Venom - 30
10. cbts TDUB - 6
