England vs China (Halo 3 style)

This evening, I truly realised that we are the Halo house in the area. For this blog, I will write a version for those of you that understand Halo, and a standard member of the public version (Italics)

Me and Ollie set up a local area network in his room and configured a link between Dickson's Xbox upstairs.
(We magically gained the ability for ollies game console to tell Dickson's one that we are here)

We then decided to play Halo 3 and agreed on a team slayer on gaurdian, standard weapons, Greens v Reds. No tricks.
(We both played a shooter game at the same time, as if by 'magic'. We played it without any 'magic' rules on a pretend place called guardian where there are some things. I was on Ollies side, and Dickson was on Sams side.)

The game started well, Ollie used his stickys cleverly and i managed to snipe out Dickson and Sam as they charged with SMGs. We started building up our kills, but none of got sprees of any kind.
(Ollie threw some 'magic' bombs that stick on things. I used a good gun to shoot the bad guys, and it was all going well for our team. We were winning, but not by a silly amount.)

It was getting tense. I was taking them out with the grav hammer quite a lot, but I found it didn't spawn often enough in the right place. Most of the time both sides were settling for sly beat downs. We noticed that Dickson and Sam kept camping together to try and double team us.
(I had a 'magic' hammer and used it to hit the bad guys. The 'magic' hammer didn't 'magically' appear very often though. I was sad. Bad guys kept sneaking up and punching us. The bad guys kept staying in the same place.)

We eventually lost by 50 kills to 48, so very near. We got a bit complacent with the grav hammers and lulled them into some easy kills with the Battle rifles and needlers, where in hindsight we should have gone for some more ranged attacks.
(we lost. It was 'magic' though)
