I think it would be more important to show GRc in a good light rather than win. Although winning is good! When I said best of the best, I meant the friendliest :wub:

There is always the Rock Band Tournament :shifty: That one might be harder to organise :cry:

Yeah, just a bit :(

One of my friends is incredible on Halo (It's literally the only thing he plays). I might try and get him to sign up here if you really need good players.

Yeah get him to join GRcade! 8-)

Don't let him join forums like HotUKDeals and the AVForums :shifty:

I'm interested and I'm sure some of the other RF! members would be too. Just don't make any games on a Friday or Saturday evening/night, I should be able to make most other nights (Halo Tuesday suits me).

I assume this is going to be teams of 4 or 5 each?

I have no idea :oops: I gave my copy away to my brother so haven't checked out what is what online. But something like that yes.

It will probably be in the middle of the working week sometime too as I imagine that's best for most people.

In. Though if the other forums are paying for mercenaries I can't guarantee my loyalty. :shifty:

Fake edit: Maybe get this moved to GGC, no one looks in here.

I'll probably post another link in the Reach topic after it's calmed down a bit. I did a few days ago but that topic moves at 100 pages a minute.

My friend has said that he'll sign up, he just doesn't know how to :shifty: I'll point him in the right direction, though.

Until then, you can admire his stats: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/Default.aspx?player=Jabowoki&sg=0

Disclaimer: I don't actually know how good or otherwise he is. All I know is that he's better than me, which doesn't take much

Good question :oops: something I forgot to mention.

Each team pick a home map, so a round on each of the two maps.
As for gametype I was thinking about starting on a simple default team vs team deathmatch, first team to X kills.


Originally I had planned a CTF game but I think it could get too complicated? I'm open to suggestions.

8v8 is a bit much. I guarantee the full 16 players won't turn up, taking into account subs. Plus it leaves less room for tactics etc, unless you're doing an objective game.

Halo is best in 4v4 imo, and it would be easier to organise and find players for.

What are the default CTF settings like?

There is a fair amount of interest from HUKD and I would imagine GRcade could get a team of 8-10 together. The other forums aren't showing much interest right now so maybe a 4v4 would be better in them instances.

I'm in!

I've not played with y'all that much, but I know you love me to bits so I don't mind being vice captain. :)
