I'd always throw my Leet AR skills in if you guys would need to fill a spot. However I doubt you'll have trouble filling spots. lol

Unless I'm bad a maths, dividing people up into regions and, if we're going that route, select people randomly within that region, will give each person a better chance of being selected.urk said:

Just incase I haven't made myself clear, I'm totally free to play, 'junior' status and all. ;-)

You're just scared that EuroHaloGAF will defeat you. :lol And if we lose, we will blame the latency.urk said:
I want to play, seems it's every man for himself, so screw those other guys I play with.
I still stand by my statement of snubbing people who have been posting in HaloGAF for 4+ years for people who just popped up for Reach is rather dumb for something like a humpday. /2cents

It'll be 5am GMT, 6am GMT+1. It's actually better if EuroHaloGAF plays the third game.Gui_PT said:

This will definitely happen. Most definitely.LosDaddie said:PLEASE tell me the matches will be recorded....
Uploaded to youtube would be awesome too
Also, I think we should have a cut-off time for sign ups. Let's say...5:00 PM EST? That sound good for everyone?

Wait, will there be a separate euroGAF day, because although I would love to play, 6am in the morning when I have college is a bit too hardcore for me.
True, though it might help the other two teams.urk said:
Of course, Reach's netcode is good enough that it won't matter all that much.
Yes, bad at maths. Order of operations:Dax01 said:
pick players
Then cluster selected EuroGAFers
That way they have the same chance as being selected as everyone else.
Mind flagging the jr's?
I'm going to laff out loud when 16/24 people are people that have been posting in HaloGAF threads for about a month.
I know I'm going to ruffle feathers, but to me, this is something that should go to the long time posters. Who cares if you offend people?
Hey I just noticed I got a triple double medal on Bnet, never thought I'd manage that one.

Don't forget, Halo-Gaf also needs to pick a map to play on. I suggest we throw up a well tested Forge BTB map.
Edit: can't make this one, good luck guys!

Speaking as someone who hasn't been posting in HaloGAF long this is a fair point and if we want to go this way I won't be offended. I'd still love to play in it but it's understandable either way.Ramirez said:I'm going to laff out loud when 16/24 people are people that have been posting in HaloGAF threads for about a month.

I posted in the Halo 3 thread like once or twice a few years ago. :lolRamirez said:I'm going to laff out loud when 16/24 people are people that have been posting in HaloGAF threads for about a month.

But to be honest, 99% of my posts have been in ReachGAF threads and wouldn't be butthurt if a HaloGAF ancient got to play before I did. No hate at your 2 cents.

As someone who has been lurking GAF for a while, just had my account approved last month and just became a Member yesterday, I totally agree. I don't think I should get a chance over people who have been posting at GAF for longer than I have.Ramirez said:I'm going to laff out loud when 16/24 people are people that have been posting in HaloGAF threads for about a month.

HaloGAF is not "long time members". It's HaloGAF. And skimming out jr's will mean the list is mostly regulars anyways.Ramirez said:I'm going to laff out loud when 16/24 people are people that have been posting in HaloGAF threads for about a month.

It's not about offending people, it's about being fair.

I wholeheartedly agree. If there is a Euro team, and I'm needed, then awesome, I'd love to - but not at the expense of a long time gaffer.

I don't mind that, no.GhaleonEB said:
That's the next step from seeing who can play at the prescribed time. We have a lot of people who can play, but who will play? Not to sound selfish, rude, even though I do really want to play, but seeing someone be put in place just for sticking with this thread, such as neuromancer, hugbot, chess, aesop, cuevas, etc, (no offense guys), of one that has been here since the Halo 3 thread (or longer), like Vhfive, Sai-kun, Ramirez, or myself, would be unfair.Ramirez said:I'm going to laff out loud when 16/24 people are people that have been posting in HaloGAF threads for about a month.

Eliminating juniors won't do a lot because a lot of the people who signed up already are members. I think sik is the only junior.
If I were in charge - which I'm not - I'd also use my own personal GAF Ignore list as a filter. Which would knock off a big swath of the "regulars".Ramirez said:
My primary concern is that selection/cutoff not be arbitrary. If you can define "regulars" as something other than the GAF crew you play with, go for it. I don't want it to devolve into the usual cliques. That's so high school (ask Dax).
Yup. That's how I get all of the Firefight challenges.enzo_gt said:

Yeah you can do it. Just choose Crashsite, Sniper or normal Score Attack. The most elites you'll find in Crashsite because at Wave 5 they will spawn about 10 elites.enzo_gt said:

Bear in mind it was the 1% club well over a week ago, and the Challenges have hiked since then. Every game I am in now has at least one other Lt Colonel G3 in it.Disguises said:Just joined the 1% club. Where did my life go?

yeah I didn't even play halo 3 for the last stretch of its life. If you guys see people who have been here since H3 they should definitely play over someone like me who just got here for reach.
We have the Reach gamertags, did you guys have something similar for H3? That would be a good list to start picking from if there is one.

Not sure if I am deserving, but I would love to play in the Humpday. NA here.
Now I was playing Arena and I noticed that assists are really hard to get right now, another guy I got matched up with said that they updated the assist code or something. Now there is nothing that I have found to prove that, but assists do feel different, I have had many points where 3-4 even 5 shots with no kill go un-awarded with an assist even after 5 seconds. It very likely could have been latency issues, but it was over the span of multiple games.
I guess it is easy to test.
On another topic, about Arena, I am working on something that takes your games, what rating you get in each game and compares them to the people you played. Do you think I should have it be, the top 4 scores is a +1 for simplicity sake, and the bottom 4 are -1? I was also thinking that maybe I could also compare scores directly. I would also like to compare them based on what division a person you played is in, but the only problem, there is no history when it comes to divisions. I can't see what they were when you played them, only their past season and their current season if rated. Any input?

I am working on a script that parses your current seasons Arena games and does some calculations on it. Curious if any of you have any input on what you would like to see with it. No guarantees, it is a side project and may never come to light of day.

If it is not too late, I would love a chance to participate.
EDIT: In the Humpday, of course.
