TTL Gunslingers

For the last month or so I have been doing my online gaming with a clan called the Gunslingers. Two of my good friends have been members for a long time (Halo 2). So I have been playing with them off and on since. I never became part of the clan, and now that the clan has such popularity in the Gaming world, probably never will. However, since I have been playing a bit more regularly with them, I have been having a really good time.

They play as a team, everyone has a job assignment, and work together to accomplish the goal. They strive to be good sports and keep the talk clean. They also are very communicative as to where the enemy location is, so that they can fight as a unit. In the 4 hours or so that I played with them last night, we lost only once. That Loss came only when we were randomly hooked up with another crew from TTL.

It is becoming more fun as some of the core members are becoming familiar and friendly with me, rather than just my personal two friends. Last night a member joined us and said, "Hey Bearded haven't seen you in forever!" etc. To play with this crew, you have to want to get better, but be willing to follow the team. Even if following the team means you don't share the glory of the win. The example that bears this best is the job Honor Guard. The honor guard are a couple of guys who protect the base from being raided. This is a no glory job, but if not done well, then you can lose the game quickly and without warning. (From the other team getting the flag or whatever).

Although I prefer to play with Dem and Sword, last night was the first time I stayed on after they left. It made for some good gaming times. BTW my picture is my xbox-live avatar.
