WaW Redux

It's Thursday, I'm home from work, the kiddo has gone to bed and I'm able to sit down and  fire up the 360 to play a little MW2 online for a while. I'm hoping a PCP member  is on and I'll get into some clan games but if not, I'll just work on learning the maps and try to finish up a weapon challenge I'm in the middle of.  I,m playing a bit and plip! I get an invite from Mr. Sleestak (by the way thanks!) to play COD.  Now I about to display my noobery so bear with me.  I didn't read the invite closely enough when I hit accept. The message screen says something along the line of do you want to quit this game? I'm thinking Huh? I've never seen that before. I hit the yes button and the screen pops up and says (or, what I THOUGHT it said) insert Call of Duty disc. Now, I'm really confused. The disc is in the machine so, I hit continue and I go back to the main MW2 screen and jump back into the lobby and go back to TDM.  I'm thinking oh shit, somethings wrong with the disc / machine or both. 

A brief distraction..

Just as I'm in the pre game lobby , my daughter comes down stairs to report there is a spider (HUGE !  according to her) on the ceiling in  her bedroom. Well, I have a strict spider policy in the house which is, ALL SPIDERS DIE ON SIGHT  so, upstairs I go and slay this tresspasser and rescue my kid from certain spider attack in the middle of the night. No sooner do I return from that engagement than my wife alerts me  another GIANT spider is lurking in the kitchen. (you may notice a certain genetic trait here)  Obviously, the backup for the one upstairs that I had smushed and was even then  carting to the trash can for proper burial. I guess since this was the first warm day in about three months the spiders were active and moving about.  The one in the kitchen was technically,  bigger than the one in the bedroom and it did appear to be menacing as it held it's ground. This standoff  lasted about a second before I showed the spider who was on top of the food chain.  Now, my manly duties done for a while, I'm went back to more important matters.

Where was I?  Oh yeah ...

Since the title of this is not spider slay'n, let me return to the point. I get another invite from Mr. Sleestak and this time I actually read the whole message and it says its an invite to play COD World at War.  World at War? wow, I haven't played multiplayer on that game since probably 2008. I hit accept and the disc message came back up. Ah! that's what it meant! O.K the 360 isn't going on the fritz, good!   Again noobery abounds, I didn't know you could invite someone to play a game different from the one you are currently playing. I learn something new every day.  I get out the WaW disc and put it in, and badda bing,  I'm in a lobby with Mr. Sleestak, Wipsy, Bishop and some other PCP folks. Yay! it works!

The first game was bolt action rifles no scopes (I forget the name, Iron and something) on cliffside. I had never seen this map when I was playing this game before.  It was GREAT.  No, red dots, ACOGs grenade launchers, Stabbys air strikes, anything. Just rifles and aimed fire. What a fantastic change of pace. I really enjoyed playing not only the games but with people who aren't  acting like their Ritalin prescription ran out.

The only downside was I didn't have any of the DLC map packs so I was out of the zombies matches but, I have since upgraded and next time I will have  the maps.

Again, thanks guys for the invite and the games. I look foward to a future  WaW night.
