Join the tourney, fool!

Persuade Xand and Tashi! If Odysseus joins as well, we'll have even teams.

I'll join

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Lollipop Chainsaw instead of HaloGAF tourney? Is it possible?

Very possible. He loves blonde white girls.

 

[Franklinator]

The best sport is football. Amurrcan football.

There's nothing wrong with vanilla.

What a fucking goal. Regardless of how much this guy sucks as a person, you can't deny Ronaldo's talent.

It was pretty amazing. Really can't expect to save a ball with a bounce like that. That's Master Pong tactics right there.

Sorry to be a pain, but could someone link the tourney list again?

[Franklinator]

pretty sure i'm top tier

king of halogaf

 

[Barrow Roll]

Can't argue with wolves.

Nope, or face your punishment.

Didn't he said "Messi" to the camera and threw a kiss?

Dude need to be smacked in the face

Speaking of which, is there a reason the tournament is going to be the TU gametype, possibly with bleedthrough, when:

a) most of the entrants played Team Slayer a majority of the time

b) the TU gametype with bleedthrough is, for the most part, an abberation; it was only around in MM for a few months, and has been gone for months

I am a biased voice on the matter, but I think it would be fun to do an MLG tourney. Most of us haven't really delved into MLG, and I think it would pretty novel to just dive into MLG as a large group.

 

[dangerbyrnes]

I'm going to laugh when i find out I'm right smack in the middle of the rankings. sometimes good, sometimes bad, always average.

 

[Hydranockz]

I certainly won't say no to MLG settings. I'd suggest people play customs though. Knowing weapon spawns helps.

Anything with Zero Bloom and DMR starts. That's all I care about.

cuz it's better, duh

 

[Overdoziz]

MLG all the way.

MLG settings on vanilla maps.

I started reading this and was thinking "holy crap shoot this man" and then you wrapped it up and I wanna give you an internet hug.

 

[BigShow36]

MLG all the way.

While I would definitely be happy about base MLG settings (no bloom, faster movement, no loadouts, DMR starts), I think we could get away with expanding the map/gametype selection for this tournament.

 

[HiredN00bs]

Yeah, I mean we could have scrims with our teams in parties of 4 or 8 in the playlist to practice and learn the maps/gametypes. There aren't that many.

Throw in some Invasion on Boneyard and I'm in lol

 

[Xand]

Very possible. He loves white girls.

Fixed that for ya.

 

[Barrow Roll]

I'd be okay with TU Squad Slayer settings with no bleedthrough for the tourney. Bleedthrough in Reach is demonstrably broken. I mean, health pack glitch, the fuck is that.

 

[Fracas]

No one likes Arena settings?




^that too

*quits tournament*

As your lawyer, I ask you to refrain from altering my posts.

Pretty sure it's going got be best of 3 anyway so we won't need that many maps.

Arena is currently Sprint/Hologram only right?

I'd prefer that actually.

 

[Overdoziz]

Sprint
Bloom

 

[heckfu]

Sprint

I think it's kinda dishonest to bring up playing Team Slayer a majority of the time when TU settings haven't been around for a majority of the time.

But I do agree with making it MLG.

 

[Fracas]

Yep, so AA abuse wouldn't be a problem.

This is what we're currently looking at:

Each round is best of 3.
1st match: Arena Slayer on Zealot
2nd match: 1 Flag CTF on Powerhouse
Tiebreaker: 2 Flag CTF on Refuge

 

[thezerofire]

Personally I don't agree with 1 Flag being in any sort of rotation at all, and much less on Powerhouse. As much as I like that map (in relation to other Reach maps), the spawning can be pretty broken, spawning the defending team right on the capture point at times.

Should be Slayer and 2 Flag, and MLG Zealot, not Arena Zealot

 

[Overdoziz]

Yeah, not a big fan of 1-flag either.

 

[daedalius]

A tournament with 100% bloom is a tournament I don't care to play in.

 

[Fracas]

Is 2 flag okay?

 

[Franklinator]

so we're all in agreement that the first and third rounds should be grifball, right?

 

[Gabotron ES]

What are HaloGAF thoughts on the promethean knights design? I personally love them, specially the ones with the holographic crown thingy.

 

[Xand]

As your lawyer, I ask you to refrain from altering my posts.

I don't pay you for this.

 

[Fuchsdh]

So in regards to this tourney, what actual times would these matches be going down?

 

[neoism]

anybody ON..?

 

[xxjuicesxx]

You guys should do one classic, one MLG, and one TU, one Heavies.

That way the winner will be the person with the highest APM (Adaptions Per Minute)

 

[Fracas]

So in regards to this tourney, what actual times would these matches be going down?

What time zone are you in? We should be able to accommodate everyone.

 

[Overdoziz]

Is 2 flag okay?

I'd go for:

Slayer
2 flag
Slayer


Especially considering the fact that most teams will probably not have played together that much so working together properly in CTF (especially in 1-flag) could become a bit cumbersome.

 

[Tha Robbertster]

I'd prefer MLG settings too.

 

[Franklinator]

I'd go for:

Slayer
2 flag
Slayer

I agree with this if we're really gonna rule out grifball as an option.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

I don't pay you for this.

You pay me in beans.

Also Fracas/Kittens, may I suggest, you nail down a selection of modes and game types and present them to us, so perhaps there can be a vote?

 

[The Librarian]

What are HaloGAF thoughts on the promethean knights design? I personally love them, specially the ones with the holographic crown thingy.

I'm pretty neutral on the new enemy designs. When they were first revealed nothing about them jumped out at me and made me say, "I like that." On the other hand, nothing about them made me react negatively and think, "I don't like that." Eh.
