Last night two of my fellow IHS members and I ran a few late night rounds on the TG Server. The members of our squad fluctuated as welcomed pubbies came and went, but for the bulk of the rounds (about six to seven in a row) the squad consisted of Smachin007 (who was the SL), Global.Cooling, chris_hooper, Drennyn, Cavall, and myself.

There were too many rounds to recall all of the action, but I will tell of the moments I liked the best. (These may also not be in correct chronological order either, remember it was late and I was fairly tired.)

One on the best moments of the night was an entire round at Tunis Harbor. Smachin decided, in all his wisdom, that his squad as going to 'Hell in a hand basket.' So, as EU, we drove all the way to Eastern Docks, hopped out and grabbed the flag. We then repelled multiple waves of attacks from PAC forces, managed to hold their walker's attention for a good length of time, and in between attacks, managed to set up a trap, which didn't work.

Our squad was working so well together that we never 'lost' the flag the entire round. In the closing seconds of the match the PAC did manage to bring it to neutral, but they never turned it to their color.

The was also the Cap Out on Cerbere Landing. Of course, it shouldn't really count as the EU lost half their team at the beginning of the round and Smachin was shouting over VOIP, "Go for their flags, they just lost half their team! I want to cap'em out!" So our squad took off neutralizing flags then moving on to the next. We didn't cap them out quite as smoothly as we would've liked, but our team still got the job done.

However, the best part of the entire night was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen on the battlefield. Ok, so that might be a bit much, but it was still an awesome sight. It was a Titan Map, Suez Canal. Smachin lead us out to take and hold a silo. It was relatively easy work, and our team didn't have much trouble at all controlling the silos. When the enemy Titan's Shields when down, Smachin gave the order to Assault the Titan.

As our squad got on the enemy Titan, we noticed that another squad was there as well. Lead by Rage. The two squads looked at one another, smiled, then each took off down a separate corridor. Our squad went right, and Rage's squad went left. Both of the lower consoles were destroyed nearly simultaneously.

The two squads once again came face to face as they ran up to the higher level. No enemy resistance up to be seen. Again the two squads stormed their respective consoles and again they were destroyed nearly simultaneously.

The two squads again came face to face as they gathered to storm the core. The two squads poured into the core room and Assault Kits took up watching the surrounding corridors for enemy infantry as RDX was placed on the core. Boom. Quick, beautiful, a work of pure battlefield art.

The Titan Assault took no longer than two minutes to execute from boarding to destroying the core.

Teamwork at it's finest. Without the use of SL to SL communications, mind you.

Well played to everyone on our team for those rounds! It was a great night of fun.
