2fort5
The first map was 2fort5, 8 v 8. Playing
for Loki were Mil, Fenrir, rj Strafe, KaiZen, Shilka, Camper
(formerly known as Mirage) and Grimm. Vic was in London, Z was in
Hong Kong, Karl and Mic were off getting a life, Tetsuo was
spreading the word of Loki across Sydney via 88.5 FM, and Proto
was still missing in action (or inaction). Hezter was delayed a
little because of his wife and daughter, and ended up spectating
the game.
Things started off very well for us, with Shilka getting the flag
out in the opening minute. Unfortunately he didn't get to cap it
as he got killed just before he reached our top supply room, but
Fenrir obligingly took the flag the rest of the way to the
balcony, finishing off a good run by Shil.
Not long after, Grimm got the flag, but managed to hammer himself
to death before he got out of their flag room. :-) Fortunately
Camper was not far behind and scooped up the flag. At this point,
we were at 20-0 and doing well.
This was, however, to be our last capture in the game. Their
attackers seemed to help out with defence a lot of the time,
making life very difficult for our attackers. We also didn't form
up too well together, a problem that we seem to have trouble
getting rid of.
In defence, we were using a very new combination of people, as
most of the regular 2fort5 defenders were unavailable.
Nevertheless, it stuck together reasonably well for most of the
time, but we did let one cap in against us.
When the game ended, we had their flag
at the bottom of our balcony, but we couldn't cap it in time. If
the game had lasted just another 10 seconds we would have scored,
but that's the way it goes.
It was certainly a tense game but one played in good spirits by
both sides.
