Bu buh! Ba da da bu BUH! (Recruitment)

What's the most awesomely amazing flag return you've ever taken part in? Yeah, that's cute. Tonight our Bungie.org team experienced one 9.79 times better. Imagine, if you will, that funny little island on Forge World. The one past the long slanted tunnel near Blood Gulch, with the mountain in the center, and the beaches and hilly green space around the edges. Now imagine playing a decently, satisfyingly difficult game against an enemy who you scored once on and who scored on you once in return. Now, and this is the key that will prove that we had 9.79 times the fun you had, imagine a group of very enthusiastic Bungie.orgers humming, chanting, and otherwise abusing the classic, upbeat portion of the Halo theme. It was one of the most glorious moments of my Halo multiplayer career. I mainly handled the high end of the "bu buh's" while others took on the challenge of preforming the more central "da - da da da - da da da da da da - da da da da da da's" that form the core of the theme. Video Games Live had nothing on us. Nothing at all. Soon the flag was captured and a few minutes later victory was ours. While sweet, it was just one victory among thousands, but our “exquisite” rendition of the Halo theme will forever live on.

This was perhaps the greatest moment of the night by far! Eight guys blasting out the halo theme while capping the flag is something that will live long in my memories.

Let's see, other highlights of our Reach game night included:

- We had a lot of quitters playing against us. It was common for us to play against teams of half strength and I'm fairly certain we never played a full enemy team.

I always feel a little bad just slaughtering teams who are smaller, but it lead to some pretty hilarious singing and victory laps around our Hemorrhage base!

I also apparently my team's warthogs have an attraction to my body...

NEXT WEEK: Halo Wars or Singularity! ;)

Meh. That's all I can specifically remember right now, but in general we had a great time playing Reach multiplayer. I still think it has the best pacing, weapons, grenade power and physics, and just overall feel out of all of the Halos. I had a lot of fun and as a result stayed up too late. Thanks guys!

I agree, Reach is my favorite, and it's even better with friends!
