WTF LAG

So we played our Halo PC assault league match yesterday.
First things first, halobuster ABSOLUTELY dropped the ball.
Completely.
It failed for about everyone in the assault league, forcing gamecam and fraps to be used.
And of course, if your computer was too shitty to use either (I HATE playing at 30fps or just variable fps in general), then you had to basically agree to a no HB no vid capture game, which always brings up the problem of wires and BLUE WALLZ OMGZ.
Yeah sucks.
At least fox didn't play the first week, so rasta couldn't have brought out his xray goggles.

The way assault league works is:
You have 2 minutes on offense or defense, where you try to bring the flag to the opponent's base or stop that from doing so.
When your time is up you switch to the other mode, regardless of where the flag is.
No silly lag jumping with hogs (think the bloodgulch hog gunner throws).
First round, then teams switch colors (this helps on maps like blood gulch, where red has such a territory advantage)
If it's tied in overall captures, it goes into overtime.

ANYWAY, we were vs WTF LAG, who has dole.
Not only Dole, but Dole, stimpy, u No, synide, and st!mpy.
Let's put it nicely when I say each one of these guys could 1v1 each one of our guys and win.
We were running Methos, Naota, Mike, Ziri, and yours truly.
We were going to switch Rathe in but didn't happen =O.
First round we were on red.
Anyway, we hit the rod room first (OMG!) and blasted their two guys in there...but after a while when I got up on their side of the ledge I was killed by psychic nades.
I don't think we ever got control of the middle ever again after that, uNo was just pounding us from the sniper cliff, and stimpy was always in the middle on the temple with a rod, and someone ELSE was always either on OUR rockets or THEIR rockets with a rod.
Oh yeah, stupid Dole wasn't sniping (he's so awesome at it), he was lag capping =O.
We got pincered in the second to last chance they had for scoring, I'm just grateful we held them to 1-0 instead of something worse.

Round two, we go on blue.
MAD capping here.
Christ this game was exciting as hell.
I was capper more often than most, and I was like at 0 12 at one point, which improved to 2-16 or something horrible like that.
I think they actually were up 2 flags before we made this furious rally.
I remember getting really close before getting popped, than Ziri came with this OUT OF NO WHERE save from the tunnels and scored.
Anyway, we took the sniper ledge more often than not, took the middle more often than not, and beat them to the temple rod more often than not.
Round ends 3-2...US!

Overtime. Home team (US) chooses blue.
The way overtime works each team gets 2 minutes for offense, then a lo3 (load 3) which basically resets the map while the other team gets 2 minutes for offense.
If the team that starts on offense caps, the other team still gets a chance.
First team ahead after each pair of 2 minute rounds wins.
Crazy.
We basically kept shutting each other down clean.
I think this is when my mother walked in and was like you're still playing games!
And I was like I'm sorry, it's overtime in a tournament match =O
Anyway, kept gunning dole out of his ghost with rocket and machine gun hogs, and our runner(s) (we didn't really do extremely set positions, so I think as many as 3 different people were flag runners) were basically stuffed before we even went halfway by temple frg or ledge frg or sniper.
This goes back and forth for a while.
I think we got really close once, we had two ghosts well past half way, only dole? was manning a rocket hog, and we had someone on their side tunnels, but the ghosts (I was behind ziri I think) were impatient (oops) and we went early without waiting for our tunnel guy to blast dole away or at least distract.
We could have won it right there.
Anyway, WTF finally pulls a pincer on us and scores.
GGs around.

But WAIT!
Assault league rules state that if each side goes through 3 overtime periods with no score, the game is a draw!
We started rewatching our videos and counting our rounds, and turns out we had all forgotten about the rule and WTF had scored on their 4th run.
So we tied!
They still owned us in kills though, but that match was really fun.

Oh right, had another interview this MORNING, this time with manpower professionals, a contracting company that does work for...IBM.
In short, I have to go through that interview, than basically go through an interview with IBM also.
Bleah, but I think I did pretty well this interview, unlike say tsvgroup.
