you know those little kids that scream like nails in chalkboard and yell obsenities at you??, i met one in real life, it was the bicentenary here in MX and i went to a party in a friends house, and some kid starts bragging about Halo reach and his "skills" so i came up to him and asked him about the game (never played it) he told me everything, he asked me if i played, i said "yeah, Halo 3" and he asked me my rank "huh... idunno, i think i was a gunnery sergeant or something" (dont really play that much online, mostly against friends in the same room)
so he went ahead and told me "HAH!, I BET I CAN KICK YOUR ASS", i laughed it off, but he would not give up "what? afraid of a little kid?" so on so forth
so i said "ok, lets play" turns out he was the brother of my friend, so he plugged the XBOX and placed reach in the console, there were like 5 kids watching (all his friends i think) and laughing he started the game (1 VS 1)
i was perplexed at the difference on the controll scheme, all i managed to do was turn up the sensitivity to insane as i always play, but that guy actually didn´t told me the controlls had changed
he killed me 5 times in a row without effort
so obviously, it started "you are a noob, haha i killed you, gotcha!" and so and so
then i got the hang of it, i went up to him and flew above him to assasinate his ass
i stuck him with a grenade
headshoted him 3 times
and shotguned his face
to say the least i oblivierated his ass and he never killed me aside from those 5 first times... i was actually quite impressed never played the game in my whole life and halve the time i was thinking "what did i just do?? woah! i can fly!, is that a sticky??, how do i reload?, i want to pick that up but i cant!!, WOAH! AN HOLOGRAM!!"
needles to say i was satisfied, and he was so angry he started cursing and such, all i had to say was "u mad?" and he dropped the controller and turned off the game
"YOU SAID YOU HADN´T PLAYED HALO REACH YOU "#$%"#$%"#$%"#"
i was just staring at him and chuckled, his sister (my friend) came in and pulled his ear "DONT TALK LIKE THAT!" then proceeded to take him to his dad who was already half drunk (did i mention it was the bicentenary) and gave him a slap in the face... not a "hard" slap, just enough for him to feel it, he started crying, everybody apologized to me(mom, dad, sister, aunts, uncles etc etc) i was so surprised!
so... yeah, that little guy had it comming, but i never thought they would all apologize, and i still think the slap was a little too harsh... well he was yelling at me and cursing at me, but i actually didnt cared, i just went to play with him to see how was the game
also, the guy wasn´t that bad, i was actually lucky to play like i did.
(on a related note, i didnt liked the new way of things, it feels to slow and i didnt liked the powers, the weapons all sucked and felt really heavy, i dont know what it was lacking but i hated the game in those few minutes, and i was expecting to buy it in the next week, guess i am not gonna)
