The Next Halo Night
left until the next Halo Night
May 28, 2010

john486s-laser-races-stinklikeonions-boostOne of our smaller Halo Nights, May 2010 only had seven players. And, most notably, it was the last Halo Night we'll have at Riley Craven's for a while, as a little Riley Craven is right around the corner. We had a lot of fun, though. And unfortunately, due to some technical difficulties with the Bungie site, some of the highlight screenshots we took were lost.

 

stinlikeonion-sets-a-trapOur huge hit from last time was Mosh Pit on Heretic, so of course we revisited the embattled terrain. This time, there was a bit more strategy, but no less carnage. With the king's points racking up rapidly, there's no time for reservation or hesitation. Most fall victim to a chain reaction of plasma grenades, but those that do not typically find the butt of a rifle against the back of their head. This match has more mayhem than Mayhem.

In this 2-2-3 match, the third person allowed the pink team to dominate multiple positions, eliminating any momentum from any other team before it could get going.
