Gather round Spartans, and hear my tale of woe.
I’m a mediocre Halo player at best. In Arena, I will never be the top player. If I kill someone with a sniper, it’s probably luck. But in Warzone Firefight, I generally finish in the top half, mostly because of my use of vehicles. In this particular match, however, I was on fire.
I had hit REQ level 3 by Round 1, and Req level 6 by Round 2, allowing me to pull out a Corp Scorpion to blast away enemies. I passed 100 kills by the end of Round 4, and was feeling damn near unstoppable. When my tank was destroyed at the end of the “Defend the Garage,” I knew I needed something special to continue my win streak: so I used my Temple Banshee – the only one I had, as I don’t have the cert card for it and received it as a daily bonus. I used the banshee to take out two Phaetons and then began Round 5. I took out 2 of the 4 covy bosses and was on my way to attack the final bosses spawning inside the base. It was my best Halo game of all time.
AND THEN I WAS KICKED OUT OF THE GAME WITH THE MESSAGE: “YOUR CONSOLE HAS LOST CONNECTION TO THE GAME.”
That was it. With just a few minutes left to go, I was kicked out. No req points – even though I used a Rare RP boost card – and I lost my sole temple banshee. There isn’t even a record of the game under Game History. It is as if it never existed. My best game of Halo… forever lost to history.
I only have 20 silver REQ packs left before I max out, but… oh the frustration. Can you hear me screaming from here?
