The Halo Thread v5: Kat's Ass Fan Club - Games

I don't have Halo:CE on PC, as I lost my Case with everything inside, and I can't be assed to buy it for the sake of one weekend, thats if I can find a copy of the PC version in stores in town or near home.

[QUOTE=Arachnidus;28605569]Hmm. Perhaps I can. Albeit a US host may be problematic.

Ping might pass 100, but as long as it's under 150, we should be fine. PC specs?

I doubt I will be able to join the PC games. I do have the game (I "borrowed" it off a friend) but my PC is shit and the frame rate is very low. Also it would mean booting into windows so fuck that.

So what sort of maps/gametypes should I put in the server files? Preferably ~mid sized maps with team slayer, slayer or CTF/Assault.

[QUOTE=Beetle179;28607999]So what sort of maps/gametypes should I put in the server files? Preferably ~mid sized maps with team slayer, slayer or CTF/Assault.[/QUOTE] Mid size? Pfft, we're playing Extinction ;D. And, of course, the ubiquitous Blood Gulch.

Well, I say mid sized because I imagine we won't get an enormous turnout. We could try, though. Wait, let's clear this up - are we playing Halo: Combat Evolved PC, or Halo: Custom Edition PC?

Can I play with you guys? My gamertag is MisterCooki3

[QUOTE=Mr.Cookie;28609176]Can I play with you guys? My gamertag is MisterCooki3[/QUOTE] Halo: CE for the PC.

[QUOTE=Take_Opal;28609562]Halo: CE for the PC.[/QUOTE] I wasn't talking about Halo: CE. I meant whenever you guys feel like playing Reach.

I'd be up for Reach tomorrow. I've got the whole day off and nothing scheduled.

Alright. Taking more suggestions for maps and gametypes. So far, all I've got is: [code] Bloodgulch CTF Danger Canyon Team Slayer Timberland CTF Gephyrophobia Team Slayer Death Island(?) CTF Bloodgulch Team Slayer Danger Canyon CTF Timberland Team Slayer Gephyrophobia CTF Death Island(?) Team Slayer [/code] Obviously, that's only five maps with 2 different gametypes alternating throughout.

Hmm...Sidewinder?

Precisely two and a half hours until the Defiant Map Pack is released.

Today I will be a Lt. Colonel, Heh.

[QUOTE=Funky Pickle;28613753]Precisely two and a half hours until the Defiant Map Pack is released.[/QUOTE] Wait what the hell It's being released [I]today[/I]? Shit I had no idea, I'm not ready [I]anyway[/I] Anyone want to play Reach today?

Yeah I'll play Reach in about 30 minutes.

SO it turns out my Xbox live has been banned for a day. Luckily I have been at college all day and the ban is due to be lifted at 10:30. Guess that means no reach for the time being.

I'll be on at 8PM if I don't turn up soon.

So uh yeah maps are out, I've downloaded and played 2/3 of them. They're decent so far. Highlands is sort of cool, reminds me of a certain part of the Halo 3 level, The Covenant (why was it called that anyway?). Condemned feels a lot like Dead Space, to me at least. Small quarters and half-destroyed space station also echo Orbital from Halo 3. Am about to play Unearthed, hope it's like Lost Platoon from ODST!

[QUOTE=Beetle179;28619376]What for?[/QUOTE] Turns out having the word "fucking" in your Bio is a bannable offence. Guess I still have a lot to learn about Xbox live.

NOOOOO Defiant map pack - 800 points Current Balance - 710 points And Im going to be moneyless for another 3 weeks until my new job starts paying me, im on a probation period.

Cannot wait that frigging long.

I'll be on soon

Do you know about the old stunt game-mode? iirc it's a lot of fun, shooting your team-mates with tanks and watching them fly across the map.

[QUOTE=Zethiwag;28619638]...reminds me of a certain part of the Halo 3 level, The Covenant (why was it called that anyway?).[/QUOTE] Because that was the level where you defeated the last of the Covenant Loyalists, silly. Well, except for that Grunt in the last level.
