MW3 Release Weekend LAN Party at Westwood College

The standard drill people…..Bring your system, power cord, cables, connection ADAPTERS, screen (less than 32″), headphones/speakers, controllers, batteries/chargers. AND THE GAMES!!!

If you do not have a portable enough screen you can always go to a rent-a-center and get one for the day.

The same goes for copies of the games. Hit up gamefly or Blockbuster or Redbox.

It looks like we will have about a THOUSAND DOLLARS in prizes to give away! And, we will run a 100 square pool for a 4 hr match as well…so bring some cash and maybe go home with up to $200.

Bring your energy drinks and snacks; however, there are several vending machines in the game area for drinks, snacks, sandwiches, ice cream and a Red Bull machine!

We will be taking breaks for lunch and dinner so bring cash for one of the many nearby restaurants.

The college is located at 1551 S. Douglas Rd in Anaheim,Ca 92806.

From San Diego take the I-5 North all the way to Katella Ave and exit toward the Honda Center (Westwood is right next to the Honda Center)

From local areas take the 91 to the 57S and exit Katella Ave and make a left.

Enter the parking that is AFTER the college building (parking before the college may require a fee or a college decal as it shares the lot with the Honda Center)

What can I say about this game? I Love It! Its like Team Fortress 2 meets your favorite tower defense game. Robots, Explosions, and Ninja Assasins makes for some awesome arena gameplay. I have not messed with the single player too much. I played through the tutorial so I could unlock a sweet Avatar head.  I also played through the exhibition mode and season mode to sharpen up my skills with a few of the six classes you can choose from. There is also a Co-Op mode that you and three other players over Xbox Live can tackle including an infinite mode that throws robot after robot at you until your money ball is destroyed.

The part I like the best is the crossfire 6 v 6 versus mode. The objective is to destroy the opposite teams money ball, but that is no easy task. Your robots have to drop the defenses so you can go in and get it. Around the Money Ball, are turret stations that players can upgrade by using cash that they accumulate from taking down another player or destroying CPU controlled robots that the teams are sending out to break the defenses. Each class sends out a certain type of robot that has a specific duty it performs. On top of that you also have to take out the players from the opposite team. With all this going on you have a lot of different strategies you can use to succeed. Some send out lots of robots early to overwhelm while others use sheer skill to run in and pwn the other team before they have a chance to get a foot hold. All and all it balances well and really does rely on teamwork from the whole team.

This game is hilarious. Those of you out there that like dungeon crawlers like Diablo or Torchlight will love this. The voice work is great and the main character is awesome. I have not played a lot but what I have played is really fun and funny. There is not much else I can say about this. I will leave the laughs to those of you that are going to give it a shot.

I just wanted to say thanks again to everyone who showed up too the lan party and a big thanks to Dre for giving us a place to nerd out for the day. Good Food, Good Games, and Good Friends always makes for a great time. I am still gonna headshot each and every one of you online. And don’t forget to never leave your house without these………..
