    Who be hatin' on Ascension >:(

    Though I'll admit Blue being able to grab rockets within .45 seconds of game start is a bit much.

    Or the fact that once the snipers get entrenched, everyone else in the game just hides behind cover and waits for something to happen.

    Here are a couple of vids from some PA games a couple nights ago. This first one is me and my rocket driver buddy shredding the opposition:

    http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=5312727&player=Ninja%20Snarl%20P

    This next one is probably my favorite thing from the entire evening. I didn't even know what happened until I checked the replay, but it was so very worth it:

    http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=5311513&player=Ninja%20Snarl%20P

    These next two are from other days, but they're Armor Lock clips and those are always worthwhile. Number one is all about hoping for the best with a clenched jaw:

    http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=5009661&player=Ninja%20Snarl%20P

    And this one is an important lesson in making sure you actually kill your target before you drive within easy grenade-jamming range:

    Blue team gets such a shaft for starting spawns on Sword Base. Every time I played that map tonight it was

    always an unnecessary struggle. I disliked it in the Beta and I still dislike it.

    Same, the tacpad and the chest-piece you get at Major are possible add-ons, but my minamalist Spartan with the nice Air Assault helmet suits me fine.

    JFO looks nice, but that's a fair bit away.

    Trust me, Multi-team is the shit for assists. Only took me a few matches to get all the assists I needed last time.

    I got 13 in one game....it wasn't intentional, but I did :).

    I am going to have a hard time moving away from the Air Assault. I am a big fan of it.

    I thought I'd get EVA, but now I am not so sure :(.

    Other stuff tonight:

    - In my first Slayer match for the night I was two kills away from the 23 kills challenge :(

    - Juggernaut came up for the first time and after a few minutes I started thinking about my own Juggernaut gametype and how I'd rather be playing that.

    Then I got the hammer. And a Killtastrophe. So now I'm pretty sure I have all the Avatar unlocks and regular Juggernaut is A OK with me.

    I guess i have been getting lucky... I bounced a frag grenade that i thought was a plasma off of an elite general, and into my teammates chest. He laughed it off...

    that and why the hell do I have to play with some random guy? hate it when I have a party of 3 and we are forced to getting 1 random. So yeah often if we get a chance we'll boot out the random.

    lame, yes, bro code? broken.

    but hey, Bungie, why can't we firefight in matchmaking with the current party only? If there is a way to be in matchmaking with some private settings that I overlooked, well sorry, just haven't seen the options.

    err.... The point of matchmaking is to play online (in the wild) with a set number of people. If you go into matchmaking without the set number of people, you'll end up playing in the wild and that spot will be filled*... booting people like that is kinda lame, especially if they for whatever reason end up eating a 15 minute ban for "quitting" as a result of people that do that kinda thing. just saying.

    You can do firefight outside of matchmaking too, if you only want to 3 player it iirc. Just take your players into that lobby?

    edit: the matchmaking mode assumes you're trying to get a full group for that gametype, in less confusing wordage.
