Had a lot of fun tonight. We pulled off quite a few last second upsets and had some fantastic team work. I'll regale you with a few stories after I wake up, but here's a quick one. We hear Goldn Gun light up and I advise everyone to hang back and let the enemy through the doorway. Then, this happens:

Anyway, a real enjoyable night. Thanks for the games, guys (And share your own stories if you get the chance!)
Indeed!

Actually, I think your words were, “Bait them through the door, I’ll backstab ‘em!” You can’t see it from your angle, but I creeped as close to the door as possible without getting myself shot, then pulled back so they’d chase me. I can’t believe how well that worked.
Oh yeah, and then there was this:

I had lots of good clips that I should have recorded. It has been an excellent IB week in rewards, stats, and just all around good times with the crew.
This is the only thing I've recorded so far, just because of how far I killed this guy with the lowest impact/fastest fire fusion rifle archetype. Granted mine has range finder and rifled barrel but still...

That was one heck of a shot! :)

I probably could have recorded a few more clips, but here's one that's notable not for the ho-hum GG Triple Kill, but for the extremely persistent skip grenade that follows:

That's ridiculous considering Swarm grenades would have stopped following you about the time you got out of the hallway. I'm not sure even an Axion bolt would have tracked you down that far!
Holy!

Axion Bolt with extended range might have made it to the center room, but they're much slower and he'd have regenerated health before it landed.
That's just crazy, though!
I'm glad I could jump in and turn your losing streak around

On one of our final games we had some pretty epic battles with the enemy for the interior of Black Shield. Early on we traded Supers back and forth. Like, a Golden Gun countered by a Nova Bomb countered by a Blade Dance and so on. Beorn showed one of our crazy wins there. We had another one that was similar where we won in the final seconds thanks to another heroic comeback. That one ended, in part, to my epic cloaked Arc Blade sneak in through the middle, long run from the back right to the left side of the heavy weapons tunnel, and finally two or three Super kills before various timers ran out.
Lets see, what else...
- I did well with my Bolt-Caster. The most epic run with it was on Widow's Court where I had a good five or six kills stretched out over a few minutes. I was just campin' A with my sword and cloaking. I think the enemy only killed me after I ran out of ammo, and I had stopped using the ranged attack when I had 6 charges left!
I just had good luck with my sword in general as well:

And even got my first "Sword at a Gun Fight" medal!

- After a slow pathetic start, I also remembered how to use Arc Blade effectively...

...and sneakily. (Note that that Sunbreaker was the same Titan I'd killed across the way. He came looking for revenge but got served <something much more clever...>)

Then there was this very strange attempt at a Backstab. I can't get over how smooth it all happened!

Anyway, sorry about having fewer stories about the others. I was just a part of some fantastic wins, comebacks, and teamwork. It's just slightly harder to remember things I have not done. :p
