Everyone heads out, knowing what actions they must take to strengthen our offensive efforts. I sprint to the location of my specialty, the sniper rifle. I quickly scan the area as I snatch it up, always wary of enemy presence. Sparhawk, one of my trusted teammates, is fast on my heels. I make my way towards the Ops Center, dropping below to the hallway to grab a coveted Overshield. My rifle is zoomed, looking for enemy resistance that will surely be on their way to fight for this power up. I see the lower half of the enemy descending their ramp, the rest cut off from view as they come towards me. Still zoomed I proceed forward. I line up my sight, the gunshot echoes in the narrow corridor and the bullet trail leads to their head. The enemy is down. I switch to my trusty battle rifle and feel the benefits of the Overshield overcome me. I hear the unmistakable sound of sword on flesh and the cry of death as Sparhawk takes out yet another enemy from above me.
Ghost is battling over the much needed rockets, finding he is outnumbered two to one. Peeking in and out from cover he tosses his grenades to keep them at bay as long as he can. Meanwhile Boulder had his objective to fulfill. He headed straight for the Invisibility, and now makes his way to flank the enemy and support his teammate. Rounding the corner he tosses a grenade on instinct, and lowers the unsuspecting enemy’s shields. They turn to meet the new threat and focus their attention on him, invisible death. He steadies his battle rifle and opens fire, dropping one of the enemies at once. Ghost, waiting for this diversion rushes to grab the rockets. Following the sounds of gunfire, he hones in on the enemies location. He sends a single shot of destruction down on the remaining enemy.
We all proceed to our areas, to provide support to each other. We have eyes everywhere; no enemy can present themselves unannounced. Before they take their second step to do us harm, they will meet three battle rifles. All the while I have the sniper rifle scanning, looking for the sweet spot. Now the fun begins.
To describe the joy of playing Halo with trusted teammates is a futile one. Some only know of going into Matchmaking as a mercenary, playing with three other strangers. The lack of communication amongst strangers normally equals their defeat. Sometimes their pure Slayer skills pull them through to a victory. Still others round up a few friends and blindly jump in. With no plan and basic communication at best, their fun quickly deteriorates as the defeats pile up. If this is all you know, then describing the feeling of everyone being on the same page, everyone giving you much needed details over the mic, everyone making a plan come together; it will all be foreign to you. But until you have done this, in my opinion, you have never really played Halo at all.

Tearyeyed I have to admit...I haven't really played Halo at all!!! I wan't to do it...but I just haven't! I envy you who can and I wish you the best of luck Shogun. Give all other teams hell, me...well...I'm off to TS with three randoms as usual...pondering who will quit first...someone on their team or our team...for those of you who haven't experienced this scenario...it's a true nailbiter!!!
