Surprisingly enough, CoD had half the crowd than last year from Modern Warfare 2. But all in all, a very good turnout. It peaked out at 300 numbers given out to hold a spot in line, and an estimated 60 stragglers that came at the last minute.
The numbers were given out, which started at 6pm, and a steady flow of customers came to pay off their game. Number 1 was sitting outside our door at 2:18pm. He was most determined, especially with how hot it was outside. To keep the energy going, NOS provided free cans of their awful energy drinks. No offense NOS, but they weren't being picked up fast.
Around 10:45pm, 190 numbers were handed out. The 1v1 tournament was the highlight of the entertainment. I followed Mr. 190 out the door to watch Modern Warfare 2 being played on two small flat screens. A good kill, and all you'd hear are loud "Ohhhh's!" and occasionally, one random guy waited for the right time to mutter out "U mad?". The maturity was definitely showing...because the teens outnumbered the young'uns and adults. Not that I don't mind the occasional trolling at least. You could see the serious business going on. Some matches were very one sided. A brutal game ended up 4-1 within 3 minutes of the time the match started. I would say it was worth the "Put your game face on." attitude. The winner walked away with a free copy of Black Ops on 360.
Midnight brought shit-eating grins to many faces. I highly doubt not one guy picked up his game, just to go home and sleep. No. It was time to pull the trigger...
