Hey, for the tourney, are people allowed to bring in ringers, or must they be an actual contributing/participating member of the community they play for?

Teams of six will compete in "Halo: Reach" using the Bungie Humpday rules: best of three, only members of your community

Oh, Jironimo, you troll.

Shit, he's right, its in the fourteenth amendment, to whit

ODST looks a lot less good than I remember. :lol

 

[Vanillalite]

ODST looks a lot less good than I remember. :lol

It's better than Halo 3 for sure, but it IS basically just a better looking version of Halo 3 verses Reach where they really made some big changes.

That being said since I've been playing so much Neotokyo and TF2 on the PC lately while they might not be as flashy or pushing tech... it's hard even when I go back to reach with the image quality purely on a resolution level (I normally only run 2xAA so it's not an AA thing). 1080p just makes shit look ridiculously good even on older engines.

PS: I use the same setup for both as I game on my monitor with my 360 hooked up through vga to my monitor and optical to my 5.1 yamaha receiver so it's easier to get an accurate comparison.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Have we discussed what gametypes we want? We should probably practice that game a bit. Whats the actual rules? Never even looked at them..

Also no montages don't get overedited ughh I hate that saying. If you want to watch gameplay go watch it, its on JTV, and Ninja is good, this is a fact. A montage is meant to entertain though. It uses effects, angles, synching. Its angry sex smashed into video.

Finally get online for morning warmups, or for me, my night time raging.

Not sure who decides the first game or what the actual restrictions are, but losing team picks map and gametype and it has to be found in standard matchmaking... Based on the guys we're playing we can expect DMRs and relatively good gametypes.

So if they choose first and we win, we won't actually get to pick? Still we should have a practiced gametype if we get to choose.

Wait Self Induced and Slightly Live are on Ascendent Justice team? Ha so we could potentially play them? Cool.

 

[The Librarian]

ODST looks a lot less good than I remember. :lol

It's not that bad.

I wasn't able to watch this at work today so I just got to it. Hot damn that was amazing. I was utterly fooled with the hologram move at the end. The ending was so perfect. Dude must have jumped out of his seat. :lol

Fantastic.

Yeah that was pretty awesome. Hologram for the win!

A coin toss will happen at the beginning of the match. Winner picks gametype and map.

 

[Crucio]

That hologram clip should have been #1 in Anoj's Top 10 Episode 21! That's where the clip was featured, ya'll should give those a watch there is some good stuff on those countdowns.

I've tried to emulate that guy's tactics but I find it hard to find the time to look down, set the hologram, look back up and walk. In normal circumstances one should notice what I'm trying to do.

 

[The Real Napsta]

A coin toss will happen at the beginning of the match. Winner picks gametype and map.

Does Team Classic or MLG count as standard matchmaking? What about Griffball and Action Sack stuff?

 

[Striker]

If it's 6v6, I would say Multi-CTF DMRs on Tempest. It's the perfect map size for the player count. Boardwalk is, as well.

 

[Tashi]

We need each team to decide what they're most comfortable with.

 

[Hitmonchan107]

Does Team Classic or MLG count as standard matchmaking? What about Griffball and Action Sack stuff?

No. We specifically excluded those gametypes from the tournament to be fair to all contestants.

Teams of six will compete in "Halo: Reach" using the Bungie Humpday rules: best of three, only members of your community can play for your teams and matchmaking game types only (excluding MLG, Team Classic, Grifball and Action Sack variants).

 

[Tha Robbertster]

Man, al this talk about the tournament makes me want to join in but my timezone doesn't work out

But good luck to HaloGaf's team and make a junior proud.

 

[Tawpgun]

Hmm... So we could still have shit like headhunter. Maybe even invasion.

Lets not have that happen...

You might want to prepare for the worst-case scenario.

:^)

Actually, you bring up a good point with Invasion. It can, and often does, end in a tie.

We might have to go back and exclude it.

You really should. Invasion Slayer on Hemmorhage? No thanks.

 

[Crucio]

Wowzers, just checked out Bungie.net forums. Haha, lots of angry people! Wheres the Whammmbulance?

You're right about Invasion, it could disrupt the flow of the tourney. But Invasion Slayer is a good game type. There are scorpions involved however, most kills are done before it even appears anyway. Fun gametype, over powered flak.

Oh! Another L.D. challenge today, back to Winter. Fun!!!!

The L.D. Challenge payouts are comically small, especially in light of the weekly Challenge. Sprint through a mission on Heroic with one skull on, 9,000. Do it on Legendary with no deaths and four brutal skulls on? 5,000.

I agree, there is definitely a lack of consistency with the challenge payouts.
"My mind to your mind!" Maybe that would help us understand.

 

[Ramirez]

:lol :lol

Seriously, I vote we just let your GB team and 2 other guys go into this thing then.

Also, I believe in the tourney we should go all objective games with these guys when we have the choice, it's pretty clear all they do is slay in games, so I'm doubtful that they could string a victory together in a flag match.

King of the hill. Their natural instincts will keep them from actually standing in the hill.

This, Slayer Pro and DMR's are fine.


When you beat the other team and they pick a game type you guys have not practiced at all... well.... I told you so .

I'm not saying play elite slayer and shit, but I would say invasion is a likely hood.

 

[Bread]

lol
You guys were on the same team. Oozer was on my team and I'm pretty sure you guys were stealing the flag when he dropped.

hahaha I forgot we were on the same team, I thought he was with oozer for some reason.

I can dig it. We just need one with no drop shields and 25 minute reset times...are there any? Lol

The Pro variants have a quick return time and no AA's except Sprint, is that one allowed? It's in MM...

Who on that list is not a part of our community? Dude, I can't believe you're even concerning yourself with our team.

 

[Ramirez]

lol!

Since they don't have to be part of our clan or exclusive to AJ, I've recruited some really good players to play on our team.

Herpa derp.

You say yourself that you went out and recruited them. I've been checking out a lot of the communities that we would be playing should we win.

I think the best part is how bamboozled the rest of your community is when you present them with your roster, heh.

It was the first time I played it on my HDTV, so it looked different than I remembered.

Still some spectacular views in there, though.

I hope you guys are playing ODST if you're talking about it. Awesome campaign.

 

[Jironimo]

lol!

I get that you want AJ to be relevant again, but c'mon.

All that says is that they don't have to be in our clan (our clan is a small amount of people who see our private forums), or be AJ exclusive. When I say I recruited, it just means I asked these dudes to play for our community and not another one. I didn't pick any randoms, I just asked the best players from our forums and people we play with regularly to play on our team.

Ram, are you really that concerned about this tournie that's just for fun? It's not like there's a serious prize or anything.

 

[Blue Ninja]

Yep, that's true. Played it today, to make some panorama's for a not-so-secret-project. They're awesome, if I do say so myself. You'll probably get to see them in a few days. :lol

If it's just for fun why didn't you use your members instead of recruiting ringers? You asked guys that weren't a part of your regular community to carry you, at least be honest about it.

 

[randomlyrossy]

I'm constantly saying I need to replay it, such an awesome game.

Just don't have the time though, too many other games to play. I'll get back to it some day though, I love it too much not to.

Yeah, but there still are prizes that people donated. Not very respectful to them and to those who put the work in to this thing. Just follow the rules...

It's not a matter of being honest, you're jumping to conclusions about things you know nothing about. Everyone on our roster is part of our community and play with us regularly. Just because 2 of them don't post on our forums all the time doesn't mean they're not part of our community.

 

[Plywood]

Obviously, the best way to represent your community is to grab people that aren't actually part of it.

We should all chip in and pay a Pro team to play for us.

 

[Tawpgun]

You really should. Invasion Slayer on Hemmorhage? No thanks.

good point with this. Elites in invasion slayer? Lolnope.

 

[Hypertrooper]

good point with this. Elites in invasion slayer? Lolnope.

Everyone at Team 3 will hate Invasion Slayer on Hemorrhage. It is still in my mind. Luckily we had Team 2.

 

[kylej]

OK guys following Jironimo's rules I've recruited some people from outside the community. They aren't NeoGAF exclusive which should be fine.

Team 1:

Pistola
Neighbor
Ogre 1
Hysteria
Heinz

Team 2:

Roy
Lunchbox

Those guys play with you regularly? Really? I'm not going to go through your game history, but I saw you playing with that Hero guy the other night, it was the only time I've ever seen you play with anyone aside from us or some AJ bros.

No one on your entire forum had even heard of the 3 guys in question, give me a break.

I'm getting on to play some Arena now if any Team 2 guys (or anyone, really) wants to play.

lol, you guys are really stretching to argue your point.

Truth is you don't hang out on AJ, so you have no idea who is part of our community and you're being petty about a tournie which is just for fun.
