I recently participated in the intitial qualifying match for the Halo Winter Season tournament. My team did fairly good, had fun, and dropped out, though we'll be trying again at the next qualifier. I've blogged my report of it, playing Team Slayer, 4 vs. 4 on Hang 'Em High.

It was a tricky scenario. They held the high ground, and had superior marksmenship anyway, so we always came out on the bottom when we tried to knock them off from a distance. When we tried to get close, theyТd have plenty of time to saw us down while we approached. And if we did nothing, they killed us as soon as we spawned.

A classic siege situation, and we were stuck, watching them pull away in score. It wasnТt a matter of superior skill as much as superior strategy, and we lacked the key to take it away from them.

But we figured it out.

Read the full report to get all the goodies.
