THE TALE OF C4LA
SING, O MUSE, OF THE SQUAD OF C4LA.
4:48 · 1080P · C4LA-SQUAD
Homer's Iliad, sung with total sincerity, about one Friday night of Battlefield and Halo. Five books: the rage of Hitless, who charged a tank and lost to it twice; a catalogue of heroes; the ships, and a gift on four wheels that killed its own squadmate; the wrath of Shadow Knight, three friendly-fire kills and then his revenge; and a lament for the fallen. Every kill feed and death card in it is real and on screen.

(C4La!) 1:05 Gods on a Friday and fools in the fight, 1:12 Sing, O Muse, of C4La tonight! 1:26 Oh, took out a vehicle or two, 1:30 and then I got taken out. 1:34 Swift-footed Musical, leaping like lightning, 1:40 Far-shooting Imminent, patient and still, 1:47 Elderlan, keeper of every last gadget, 1:53 Elective, the sharpest of tongues on the hill. 1:59 Fate, who went wandering, lost on a side quest, 2:04 Trigger Support, who arrives with the cars, 2:11 Stone Pilot steady, and Shadow Knight raging, 2:16 Who fires at the foes, and his friends, and the stars. 2:23 Sing it!
