Never Surrender!!

Time for another Halo 3 video. The video below is also taken from one of my early games of straight deathmatch (or Slayer as Halo 3 calls it). By the way, in case you are wondering, the video is highly edited as there were only 3 players hence a lot of time was spent running around looking for the other guys!

Also, I uploaded the video twice - once in Blogger and once in YouTube. The advantage of YouTube is that you can go to YouTube and view the video in fullscreen (although the resolution isn't very good). The reason I uploaded twice is so that I can see which one loads quicker. Let me know which version you prefer and I will stick to that version in future.

Anyway, I started off this game really badly and before long, I was down by 15:6 (ie I had 6 kills while the leader had 15). At the time, I remember looking at the score and thinking "Man, I'm crap!".

Despite the shitty score though, I never gave up. And somehow, I started to fight my way back into the game. During my comeback, I managed to get 2 Killing Spree's (a killing spree is getting 5 kills without dieing) and 2 double kills to tie up the game.

By far the best part of the comeback came at the end. With approx 10 seconds till the end of the game, I'm still down by 1 kill. At this point, I'm running across an open platform when someone starts shooting at me from above. I immediately deploy a bubble shield to try and hide in. Unfortunately, the guy is a lot closer than I realised and he runs into the bubble shield and assasinates me from behind. Now, I'm down by 2 kills and thinking "this game is over".

However, I respawn close to where I died and notice the other two guys having a shoot-out in the open platform area. With literally seconds to go, I chuck a grenade and wade into the fight. Amazingly, I managed to get a double kill and tie the game at 22 kills just before the game ends!!

As you can imagine, I was so pumped up at this point that all I could do was jump around the living room screaming like a madman! In fact, the only reason I stopped was because the missus came out and gave me hell for making so much noise!!

PS Not sure when my next video will be. The grab function in http://www.geevee.com/ (which is what I used to transform my Halo 3 clips into video) has been down for a month for upgrades and there is no timetable for when it will come back up.
