Don't think I've played with any of you guys before, but I think we got ourselves a solid team here. Was it decided to use arena settings for this? I knew it was talked about but I never saw a definite conclusion.

 

[Fracas]

I say we leave the scrimmaging up to each team.

If Bregmann and Aggrotek are on tonight, Franklinator and I are available for scrimmages. I don't get off work until later though, around 11 CST
^yep arena settings

 

[OverHeat]

How are we going to choose host for the custom games? Location? Bandwidth? Ping? Etc.
P.S. My team add me up to your friendlist so we can play a few games together before the tourney.

 

[Risen]

Your team may be too stacked as well

I have no objections to how you arranged folks, but in the interest of those who have yet to play with them... Jazzy and BigShow are both tier one folks in your grouping of tiers. Stats are meaningless...

 

[Navidson REC]

Does the Summer Break not start in three weeks?

Yeah, but that's three weeks of no life and no Halo.

But from the looks of it, the tourney won't happen within that time frame. Hope isn't lost yet!

 

[thezerofire]

so is there still an issue with me and op_ivy's schedules or has that been resolved?

 

[Zoso Achilles]

Sup team.

I can be on pretty much every night, a few schedule exceptions notwithstanding. EST time zone, by the way.

 

[dangerbyrnes]

nope, cant say i have played with you. not surprising, I'm pretty new to HaloGaf.

anyway, i'd say our team is solid. no low low tier players =P

 

[Fracas]

He said not to worry about it. I can change it up if you want though

What's Arena? 85% bloom, normal running speed? Is it basically Super Slayer?

I'll make room now... I'm not sure how much I'll be on during this week. My headset died and playing through ear buds means I typically can't hear voice chat and sound is terrible. May pick up a cheap replacement in a day or two though.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Yeah regular TU settings. Sprint and Hologram are the only armor abilities you can have though if I recall correctly.

it's cool, as long as it works

Good anyway its better if you dont hear me too well, because of my thick french canadian accent

 

[op_ivy]

i just would like to get in a few hours maybe friday with the whole team before we play.


unrelated, where is game history on waypoint!?

[TheOddOne]

Wait, I thought this tournament was just around the corner? If so, after my forced family vacation, I can rejoin.

 

[op_ivy]

lol, get matched against kittens - but its on pinnacle. i quit before i realized it. sorry kittens, ivy doesnt play on pinnacle

 

[Barrow Roll]

Barrow your new team is fine.


I got nerfed to oblivion.

That's why we belong together baybee.

I'm probably better than my stats suggest, I've had archaic internet so there's times where I've gone into Grifball and gone double negative because of lag. Hopefully that won't be a problem in the tourney. Also I play with a couple of very good players (H3 50s) which means I get truskilled up with people better than me - not saying I can carry the team or anything, but I'm not a total spaz.

I'm in the UK though so I don't know how easily that'll marry up with you for practice sessions, I can play between 8pm and 2am BST, which I think is 3pm-9pm EDT.

Sounds rad. Another reason to bring back the old roster.

Might be a good idea to do a test game in Matchmaking with the team, that is if we can find Devo from whatever whole she has been hiding in. Basing stuff on stats isn't always reliable, which is what my entire previous assessment was based on.

 

[squidhands]

How are we going to choose host for the custom games? Location? Bandwidth? Ping? Etc.

Host is chosen for you by the game; you only decide what to play and when.

 

[Sanjuro]

I haven't seen Yeti or Sanjuro post in a long time. I better not have no-shows on my team, this Halo tournament is serious business.

You better not out-no-show me.

 

[OverHeat]

Even in customs? I was sure it was the guy who made the room.

 

[Risen]

Even in customs? I was sure it was the guy who made the room.

Nope... not in Reach... can't pick your host, game will decide.

 

[The Real Napsta]

What's our team name boys?

How about the Van Buren Boys?

 

[Buddermilk]

I guess Over is your new captain.

The google list has you both listed.
Buddermilk reporting for duty!
Team name: Team heckfuCkUup

 

[Bregmann Roche]

^yep arena settings

I am ready! I made a new gametype for us to practice with, I call it "Griffball Jetpack Ghost Zombies". I think you guys are really going to like it.

 

[Barrow Roll]

Do we have a team name Barrow?

Something with Wolf or Wolves in it. Maybe keep it simple, "The Wolfpack."

;_;

Sorry bro, trueskill doesn't play favorites! We'll make sure your match against us is quick and painless.

Okay, newer revision. Gave Sai-kun back to Karl, buffed Barrow Roll's team with wwm0nkey, and moved TCKaos over to Computron's squad.

Looks legit. Shadders, send me a friend request, you're the only one I don't have. wwm0nkey, report to the wolfpack for active duty. Devo, leave Timedog alone for 5 seconds so we can practice. And stop having strepthroat, just tell it to go away right now.

 

[Fracas]

So you guys are happy with these teams?

I see a couple that look pretty strong, but I think they'll even out.

 

[squidhands]

Nope... not in Reach... can't pick your host, game will decide.

I thought it might have been the same way in Halo 3, but I'm not really sure any more.


anyway, you guys talk a lot. Welcome juniors, Prometheus sucks, etc...

 

[Hypertrooper]

It's so freakin' awkward to read Ringworld by Larry Niven again because I always imagine Louis Wu as our Louis Wu. haha.

 

[Risen]

anyone have Tha Robbertster's GT?

I don't know...

I don't know, not gonna argue.
Sooo..... how about dem practice games?

 

[ZalinKrow]

I sent you a FR Slightly Live, but I couldn't send you one Fyrewulff :[ Hydra has you both on his anyway though, at least.

 

[a zoojoo]

I can be on 9pm est+ today if wanted.

I think that's good by me. But if you can make it earlier, there is a greater chance i can be there.

 

[Sanjuro]

So you guys are happy with these teams?

Because I was picked last, means I'm going to the best team in the league? RIGHT!?

I always wanted to be a Yankee.

 

[789shadow]

What's our team name boys?

I'm still partial to Team Weak Only to Bullets, but I'm open to suggestions.

 

[heckfu]

I hate to do this to you, but as your whole team are not officially sanctioned members of the Wolfpack™, I'd request you changed it to The Wolfpack featuring Shadders, etc.

 

[Fracas]

I am ready! I made a new gametype for us to practice with, I call it "Griffball Jetpack Ghost Zombies". I think you guys are really going to like it.

I like your style, Bergmeister!

Aggro, you down for tonight? I'm available every night between now and Thursday after 10:30 pm CST. I can actually play now if you guys are on. Next week, I'm pretty much free every day, with a couple exceptions.

 

[CyReN]

Looking at my Halo 2 stats, on the first full day I first got Halo 2 (I didn't have XBL at H2 launch) I played 58 games in 1 day. Wtf..

 

[daedalius]

We should get Halo 2 vista customs together more often.

I need to be friends with Tashi, he plays Reach the best way. (his stream is laggy tho, what a scrub)

 

[a zoojoo]

My power went out for an hour, a first world problem, if there ever was one.

But, just got back from Halo 3 with 789shadow, if you go into social playlists today, you're gonna have a bad time. My ear is still ringing.

Team Warwood it is. I think i'll make a logo.

I am so sorry.

But that Standoff game was total BS. Holy crap, that was the definition of dongblain.

 

[The Real Napsta]

I'm still partial to Team Weak Only to Bullets, but I'm open to suggestions.

So we aren't weak to rockets and plasma? good to know.

Send me a f/r team members, GT same as GAF name.

Here's the gametypes we are doing. Best of 3. Arena settings.

Round One-Arena Slayer on Zealot
Round Two-1 Flag Capture the Flag on Powerhouse
Round Three (tiebreaker)-2 Flag Capture the Flag on Refuge

Shortly, I will be sending a PM to all captains concerning scheduling.

edit: Over, which version of Refuge? I see two.

 

[a zoojoo]

TEAM WARWOOD!!!!

you like?

 

[heckfu]

I'm going to need Team RealityFU to PM me their twitter accounts or emails. It'll just make it easier and less spammy on GAF to get in touch with you that way (and quicker as there arent notifications when you're not on GAF of when you get a PM, or I'd just do it that way).

 

[Franklinator]

I am ready! I made a new gametype for us to practice with, I call it "Griffball Jetpack Ghost Zombies". I think you guys are really going to like it.

Finally you get it. That gametype is what the history of Halo uas been building up to. We have reached the pinnacle of fun.

Also, tiebreaker should be slayer, fracas.

 

[kylej]

does anyone want to play custom games tonight 4v4. Hell even if people can't get their whole teams on I just want to play customs. I know B 2da ooties and myself will be online.
