Practicum - Zach #1

I am doing network counsel gaming for my practicum. I have an Xbox360 and my username is broau5. Thats the name of the house I live in and most of us play games online sometimes. I played a lot of Call of Duty Black Ops and for my first post I will describe some of the online games that I play. One is called Team Deathmatch, 4-8 people per team, usually 6 vs. 6 and the objective is to be the first team to 7500 points, 100 points per kill (so 75 kills). Another game is Headquartes, teams of 6 or 8 and you compete to control a target that moves around every two minutes. You get points for how long you can control the target, and games last 12 minutes or first to 250 points. These are the two games that I play the most. In regards to talking to other people, it is often hard to understand what people are saying and the game moves too quick to really organize stuff alot. You do notice certain people are good and you get killed by the same people/kill the same people alot. If you kill someone who killed you, you get something called a Payback, which gives you XP and leveling up your character. Kill streaks and your overall play also raises XP. By getting more XP and leveling up you can get better guns and equipment and perks.
