Support NeoGAF

[Hitmonchan107]

Tashi, will you be livestreaming the event? I want to post it on the HBO front page for people who can't participate.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Want if multiplayer is done right.

I predict it will feature Reach's multiplayer suite, with remakes from past games in the series, ala ODST and Halo 3's game. (But all on one disc.) (Gimme Headlong and Waterworks, please.)

 

[Lazslo]

Tashi you gonna stream any of those tournament games? I really would like to see "Super Team" destroy in real time. I'll render any videos after if ya want. Good Luck HGaf.

-Also I'll be on for customs tonight if there's room-

 

[Kuroyume]

A Halo game in HD? About time.

No just give me halo CE HD and Halo 2 XBLA exactly how they where gameplay wise, no Reach crap/

 

[Bread]

I'm pumped for the tourney tonight, and I've been playing pretty well after a crappy start to the day with tawpgun and choco. If anyone is getting on to practice before it starts, send me an invite, I'll be back on around 5.

 

[Kibbles]

Mmh. OXM has "Halo HD" on their cover. http://forums.epicgames.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1941&d=1306597011

Pff if it was real news it'd have much more of a notice than that, probably just going to be a run-through of rumors and what they expect, as it always is with these things.

Wherever this is from did the guy open it up yet?

How about options in the gamemodes to switch them into CE/H2 settings exactly?

fine that works.

I really like the Halo Reach Classic mode playlist.

I always forget how fast paced the classics were, and I wish more people would be playing on that playlist.

[The Librarian]

Sending an email out now to Team Captains/Community Leaders, but basically you send a message/invite to one of the 343 gamertags and they will send you a party invite back. That way our volunteers don't have to type out a hundred gamertags.

If the tournament gets along smoothly Hitmonchan or I might start another Customs lobby halfway through. In that case we'll probably send out messages over XBL. (Something like "Reply to this message for a party invite.")

This entire tournament is just an elaborate ploy to get BTB testing in for my Boneyard map variant...

Spoiler

No, of course not. It was Hitmonchan's idea anyways. But I have made some good progress on Bone Patch...

What are the gamertags for the volunteers?

[Captain Blood]

So our first game is at seven. Do we have any kind is schedule for after we beat six feet deep? I won't be able to watch the first match which is bummer.

 

[Tashi]

Ok sorry, I just got out of work now. Gonna take a quick shower cuz I'm all stinky and hop on Halo in about 20 minutes. I will be live streaming the warm ups and the matches as well. Just know that there will probably be a lot of sitting in lobby and just bullshitting. That's just the nature of these types of tournaments. I'll post the stream link in 20 minutes when it's live. Also, I want to apologize for the low quality stream. It's the best I could do with my current set up. The menu's aren't legible but in game it's pretty good and the frame rate is rock solid. (Stream frame rate, not Reach ) Expect a better stream by the end of the summer

Good luck to everyone tonight, do the right thing and destroy the enemy with love.

[MrBig]

Throw me an invite whenever the customs start up. I'll be switching between forge and mm.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Will try join customs later, if people are willing.

Knock 'em dead guys!

Can I see the entire bracket/roster before I head out to eat?

 

[ncsuDuncan]

Bracket is here:

I don't have the roster online anywhere right now. It's a beast of an Excel file and I really need to go eat right now; I'm gonna be too busy to eat in an hour!

I've got a leftover Pizza Hut Meat Lover's pizza and half a 2-liter of Pepsi.

My Arizona Tea ran out. :^( ...actually, I might run and grab some before this thing starts.

You just need an all-Rush mixtape and you're ready to rock.

Neogaf v HBO/CC in the finals.

Believe

 

[Plywood]

How does this tourney start? The NeoGAF is confused.

 

[Ramirez]

Where are you therm, omlet, and nutter.

 

[MrBig]

I just got 45 kills in a BTB hemo flag game. And lost. 0-2.

The best anyone else on my team could do was +4.

 

[Plywood]

Seriously, half of Team 1 is missing.

You didn't go for the flag.

I feel your pain.

GAF needs to message Duncan.

 

[MrBig]

Spoiler

No, I didn't go for the flag. But I was in control of their base for most of the game but still people were content to sit and stare out our flag and waste vehicles.

 

[The Henery]

Anyone want to run some games before these customs kick off?

[The Librarian]

I hate to say this, but all of a sudden I'm not feeling too well. Not well enough to play Reach. I dunno what's going on.

I'll be watching Tashi's stream though and cheering HaloGAF on.

 

[Domino Theory]

Where are you therm, omlet, and nutter.

I'm on.

 

[blamite]

So how are customs going on? Are we going to get invited off the list, or do we have to message someone for an invite?

 

[Tunavi]

oh god the anticipation

 

[SpudBud]

Just stopping by to wishing you guys good luck.

 

[Plywood]

Let's do this shit.

 

[Hydranockz]

Tashi muted them all... aww

 

[Booties]

Not on the team? You're destined to lose. I'll be here when it's all over

 

[Tashi]

Shit on them guys!

 

[Tunavi]

Game 1 has started

 

[blamite]

Do us proud, team 1!
