There is nothing like putting a face to the people that you game with online. I traveled from Delaware (8 hours) and would do it again in a heartbeat to hang out with these people.

Now we can look forward to next year and where to hold it….

Also, you’ll be able to select a custom event skin for each weapon!

Maverick – Lancer
Viper – Retro Lancer
Goose – Hammerburst
Iceman – Gnasher
Jester – Sawed off

Everyone have a safe and happy holiday and enjoy that 2x XP!
