While living in Kanata Ontario, and having just moved from Hammonds Plains, Nova Scotia, I decided to get Xbox Live...
The main reason for this was due to the highly underrated game Mechassault. After finishing the single player campaign, the game had become an immediate favorite of mine, as the fast-paced, technically challenging game-play was highly engaging, so I became very exited to try it online. Thus, the gamertag Shiftymcgrif was born, and many a gigantic robot was brutally slain. Who remembers the satisfaction gained when you'd drill down some Mech, they'd get steamrolled into the dirt, and you'd hear that sweet 'going nuclear' noise, indicating that they were about to explode? Yeahhhh.
My favorite Mechs were Catapault, Madcat, and Atlas (sorted by size). I simply adored Javelin Missiles and lasers, though overall I'd have to say that Railguns were my favorite weapons. Playing this game online was very *very* intense at times. It was an online gaming experience that I have yet to see represented in any game since. #nostalgia
