I’m a sore loser

by jimmy on December 23, 2004

The last thing I wanted to end a nite was to be beaten not once, but three times straight in a match-made Big Team Battle. For the non-initiated, that is one of the reason why Halo 2 is such a popular game on XBox. Big Team Battle allows a maximum of 8 guys in a team to challenge another team on objective-driven games, like Capture the Flag, Assault or the no-brainer, Team Slayer.
Team Slayer as its name refer, basically you try to out-slay your opposing team. Kill as many and die as little. No brainer.
Assault and Capture the Flag are a wee bit more challenging. You need to work together as a team to attack or defend.
Cut the story short, my team got our asses kicked 3 glorious times and I had enough for a night off ass-kicking and went off. Maybe the opposing team played together much longer ( we unfortunately were paired up twice ) or we just sucked. The only game we won that night, we almost lost too. Was yelling my head off for support and only after some friendlies came did we managed to pull one win today.
Man, I hate to lose. I lost a rank straight after gaining one.
Maybe I’ll just pop in again to beat some crap out of some people before going for a good night’s rest.

We will win tomorrow, just you wait and see.
Maybe we should stay away from Big Team Battles until we get familiar. Looks like small team skirmishes fare better. Jedixus, kidster, Stoener and I played a few rounds after our getting asskicked, and did manage win a few.
We shall persist, we shall prevail.

totally understood the frustration. I lost to a bunch of kids at Winning Eleven 8 at sim lim tat day. And that brat walked away after thrashing me 4-0 ! i din even have the chance to kick his ass back. Comprehensively beaten in the only game i took pride on being rather good at. Argh.
