yibble’s First Time Win in Quake IV
Not that I make a habit of blowing my own trumpet (I can’t reach, for a start.) But last night was my first time back at a number one spot, on a Quake IV public FFA server. Bloody hell! It was an exciting game, full of chance (aren’t they all?) and a little bit Quad-love.
The map was Firewall, and started with some stroke of chance mayhem from myself. Within the first 5 minutes I’d been awarded three Rapage medals. Then, as I shifted out of the zone, the rest of the combatents started to catch up. The match ended (for a breather), as _PSYLEE_, and myself were neck and neck all the way from 46 frags to 50!
Yes, the match went to Sudden Death! Just 1on1, _PSYLEE_ and I. It’s a big map, so we both started gathering up stock items. Then _PSYLEE_ grabbed the Quad’. I thought it was over, but I managed to avoid him till the Quad faded. Two minor confrontations occurred in which _PSYLEE_ backed out of. Then the Quad came up for grabs again, this time, I nabbed it.
I saw _PSYLEE_ by the RA, and I let off a volly of Quad Rockets. A little bit of splash damage, and he stepped down to the arena floor. This is where he made a fatal mistake, he then made a dash for the jump-pad to come back up. I loosed my few remaining rockets, and he took a little splash damage. Then he hit the jump-pad, vulnerable at the apex of his jump, I Quad Railed him in mid air… Game Over!
What a rush! :D
