Before I explode into all out rant mode, I’ll just fill you in on some back story… For the past 4 months, Erika and I have been playing away at Halo 2 on Xbox Live, scratching and clawing our way up through the rankings all the way into double figures, she was a 12 and I was an 11. We were just noting how, since we moved past the 10 ranking threshold, we’ve not had to put up with, shall we say, fucking idiotic players who like nothing more than to betray their own team mates and games were actually comptitive and enjoyable…
Well, that said… Bungie, the games makers, have just released a patch to help with bugs and 4 new maps and yesterday they reset the stats so cheats never prosper. So the last 4 months of hard work and determination has been for pretty much nothing. Don’t get me wrong, new maps are cool, but being lumped back in with the “fucking idiotic players who like nothing more than to betray their own team mates” again is more than I can stands…
Case in point being tonight, our first chance to play new maps, first of all our internet connection was being a pain and kicking us off at shitty times… Then we were just getting shit matchup after shit matchup, seriously, it’s like the Battle Rifle is now the weapon of choice, and I hate it… PASSIONATELY! Then came the crowning moment… During one of the games my team was getting well and truely pwned, Erika and I are usually golden when we play together but tonight we just sucked, and over the headset come the faithful words “are you guys noobs or something?”
Gah! Too many subtle changes have been made to the gameplay and now it’s sucked the enjoyment I had for it out of me… I really need this weekend away now, not just from the computers and modern technology, but from civilization it’s self!
Noob, please… Makes me want to choke a bitch, all because of a game…
