I managed to get on for a few hours last night -- before I once again got cut off by a power outage! We had just finished our pizza break, and the lights started flickering. After about 10 mins, they went off for good. The wind that had kicked up during the storm caused a branch to hit a power line and apparently blow a transformer somewhere down the line. The lights did come on after a couple of hours, but it was a pretty nervous night for Reibo and me.
What gaming there was was pretty good. It was fantastic to get together with Reibo and Matt64 again after our long drought. I was pretty sucktacular in a couple of games, but we were short 2-3 regular players during the whole session. I managed to get a lot of challenges done, tho, including one sweet Ninja Pro challenge where an enemy player literally walked into me around the corner just in time to eat a burst from my SCAR-H. Because he was close enough to kiss, it counted as a Ninja distance kill. Woot! Another sweet moment was a flash bang impact kill from 5 feet away on Favela. A dude was running up from the playground area and I was running down the stairs and thoomp! he took the grenade in the chest!
A little over 2 weeks before the Modern Warfare DLC release! Despite my many disappointments with the glitches and cheaters of MW2 multiplayer, I'm still excited, especially if a couple of my favorite Call of Duty 4 maps are revamped for MW2. Although many folks prefer only new content, I really like a mix of the old and the new. UT was always good at achieving that mix. Either Epic would have touched-up classics pre-loaded or the mapping community would whip them out in short order. After all, what's UT without Deck 17? I couldn't find video of the classic Unreal Tournament Deck 17, which was teh awesome, but here's the UT3 PC version:
