Quarterfinals-Halo 3 Junkies(2-1)
[game=806512258]
Hurricanes View: The first game against the junkies on Narrows was really rough for us with them spawing on the mongoose while we spawned in the base they easily naded our 'hog we tried to come back but their vehicle prowess was too much for us.
[game=806531278]
Hurricanes View: Again on the opening spawn they spawned top middle right next to the ball and rockets while we spawned in the back of the base which was really weird when we started all we heard was "ball taken". You could hear a collective "WTF!" from everyone. We managed to get the ball on our side keeping it in between man cannon and lobby and we just kept motoring on to the start of a comeback.
[game=806552898]
Hurricanes View: This one had to be one of the more intense games that I played the entire tournament. Back and fourth lead changes they had clawed back from about 7 down to make the game 49-46. Rockets had just come back which I picked up and as I shoot at a red guy I hear game over. Thryx had beaten me to the kill!
Semifinals-Code of War(2-1)
[game=806595003]
Hurricanes View: First off I was expecting Joshhh to be playing in this but I guess he had intrewebz issues too. This was another one of those weird spawn games where everyone but me spawned near OS and our Sniper while I spawned shotgun. Lost all the power weapons except sniper to start off with but I trusted Thryx to do work with it and he did (gasp! Hurricane without a sniper!) We pulled away in the end when they just kept pushing our side, Thryx engaged beast mode and ended the game.
[game=806617723]
Hurricanes View: One of those curveball gametypes we didnt really have any set strategy just get in hill. They pulled ahead by quite a big margin in the beginning until we started getting our act together we managed to get the lead at one point I believe but the middle hill is what ended up getting us every time they would have a sniper waiting S3 to just drop shields.
[game=806634899]
Hurricanes View: We were still confident that we could do this and win this game, with us spawning right next to OS we were set for a good opening run. We held onto the middle room most of the game and that proved to be the deciding factor.
Finals-Fallen Unity(3-1)
[game=806674955]
Hurricanes View: Another very close game at the end, many lead changes in this but once we got control of the snipe tower in the final run we took the lead and ultimately the win.
[game=806695827]
Hurricanes View: In the beginning we failed to get rockets but myself and ROCKETR were able to kill the rocket guy and take that power weapon out of the game. Our first score came after I just sat above the bubble shield spawn for about 5 minutes waiting for my guys to clear the path and eventually they did. We did the same strategy on the last two bomb plants; Thryx would go through mauler while the rest of us would go through the front to help the bomb.
[game=806708120]
Hurricanes View: Another nail-biter swapping kills back and fourth until they pulled away having rocket control to end the game on a series of kills on the man-cannons.
[game=806731753]
Hurricanes View: We all knew coming into this game that this would be a very close game. They had several opening flag grabs and very good warthog driving/gunning but luckily we were able to keep the flag from leaving our side of the base. Thryx went into their base with ROCKETR and came out through the bottom of the base, when both were killed I went in and killed one guy and FoRk cleared the other one out. I died near the bubble shield on the right side helipad when FoRk and Thryx took over getting the flag to our rocket rock where I juggled it in to our base. During the last minute they had a very good flag push but a blown up warthog had blocked their back exit forcing them to come through the front. We spawned on camo right when they were going past our warthog. ROCKETR killed two guys that were guarding the flag while the rest of us killed the Flag runner and last player helping him. Fitting that the FLAG tournament ends on a Capture the Flag gametype!

We had a great time. Thank you Cavegirls and the FLAG staff! We will do it again next year.
