When I think back to our first couple attempts at this, they seem rather comical. Such a struggle and LOTS of frustration. The last couple of attempts were vastly different. We actually had fun. We struggled far less on those sections leading up to the last stand. Inventory management actually became our biggest struggle. We simply had too much stuff.
Last night was the first time in our many attempts that we had base Majini during the last stand. We weren't accustomed to stun rods and machine guns being used on us at the last stand. The last stand only took a couple attempts. We were caught completely off guard when the Executioner showed up. We died pretty quickly. On our second attempt, we took out the first Executioner, we took out both bugs (Reapers). And then it got rather comical. It went something like this:
Elevator opens up and there stands an Executioner.
@Kbeau73: Heavy sigh . . ."Oh no."
@JohnPicklewilly: "What do we do now?!!"
@Kbeau73: "I don't know. I'm almost out of ammo."
Executioner jumps up to our location.
@Kbeau73: "RUN!!!"
We run a full loop around the map and end up back at our original location. JPW is reloading.
Executioner catches up to us and takes a mighty swing.
@Kbeau73: "RUN!!!"
@JohnPicklewilly: "Do we just keep running?"
@Kbeau73: "I'm thinking so."
We run one or two more laps around the map dodging Majini and keeping our distance from the Executioner until the clock runs out.
This is one of those moments that will forever be etched into my gaming memory. Kind of like the "Hey Greg . . . look at Mitch" moment.
Good times. Good times indeed.
