Terrorist doors, 1 – HoC, 0

Stormblade may have his own take on our evening of Rainbow Six coop.

But my version is slightly different.

Its a good thing that Rainbow Six Vegas only supports four players in coop because I would hate to see what more of us could do.

The doors are on the terrorists' side. They are. MoriceRevek proved this during a 3 minute battle with a door when he was the only one left alive. He kept opening the door inward and getting trapped behind it. Sadly for him, we were all watching and providing commentary. "It's a door," "Nice wood grain texture," "move away from the door before you... never mind," "shoot the door! shoot the door," "use a grenade." It turned out that the door was, in fact, harbouring two terrorists as MoriceRevek discovered when he finally escaped its nefarious clutches. I know none of us looked at doors the same way for the rest of the gaming night.

MoriceRevek was treated to a two minute seminar on how to open a door by Coxxorz during the next match when Coxxorz was the last survivor and we were all watching him.

Herd of Cats had two sub-teams of two. There was Alpha team and Loser team. This alternated everytime Alpha team bought it early.

Once our fourth player wussed out we became a three man team designated Alpha Team of Losers. We proudly wore and earned our team name for the rest of the evening.

In GRAW once you die, you can no longer speak to your live teammates. This would be preferred over the Rainbow Six Vegas method where you can still hear your dead teammates after they are gone. They provide all sorts of morale support Herd of Cats' style. If I am ever haunted by any of these guys I won't last long. If I can't find a well armed exorcist I am suiciding and going after them myself... in Hell. Cause face it, that's where they'll be.

Oh yeah:

Clear means not remotely clear.

Secure means terrorists can walk through our perimeter and shoot our rearguard (usually me) in the back.

Rearguard means you don't really have three teammates and should watch all directions if you want to stay alive. Oops, too late.

Arrrggghhh! Means you turned on your night vision goggles while trying to throw a grenade.

GOD DAMN ARRGHH! means someone threw an incendiary grenade and your night vision goggles are still on.

I think I will turn friendly fire ON next time because I can't possibly see how much worse of a cluster-f**k one of our matches could be.

So, we playing again tonight?
