Officially Unofficial Gamenight Thread 2

<em>OP IS ALWAYS UPDATED WITH LATEST UPCOMING NIGHT</em>

Well then, I took long enough, didn’t I?
Welcome one, welcome all, BACK to the Officially Unofficial gamenight thread. Last year, I was lucky enough to get into the swing of things and host Halo gamenights every other Saturday. Then, the Great Journ-- er, the Xbox One craze increased, the MCC released, and I was left on my 360. So, I hung up the gamenight hat, one day vowing to return and press ‘begin match’ again.

Well, that day has come, and you’re invited. I’ve heard mixed reports on how well the MCC treats custom game lobbies. So that’s a gamble right off the bat, unfortunately. The File Share isn’t up yet as well, but I’m willing to try and fetch some maps through that ‘backup’ elongated process.
And if you still have a 360? Don’t worry, I still plan to jump the gamenight back to the last gen as well (granted the attendees are fine with that). So, here’s the basics:

WHEN: Saturday, March 7; 5:30 EST
Notice: Time and time ARE subject to change. But this is what to plan on right now. Cancel all family outings, friend get-togethers, what-have-you, you’re committed now. (I’m kidding, of course.)

HOW: Quite frankly, I don’t even know yet. Depends on how fritzy the MCC decides to be. Halo 4 on the 360 is always open though. But the routine no matter what is I shoot you a invite close to starting time. If you have any gametypes or maps you’d like to play on, please don’t hesitate to pipe up. I normally go one or two matches as official host. Then people you actually know how to do it take over.

WHY: [REDACTED] and pickles.

So… yeah. I have no idea how many of the original gang is going to show. But I really had a blast doing these in the past, and enough people did as well to keep it going for a good while. Simply drop a message requesting an invite down below and I’ll put you on the roster. If you’re unsure you’ll make it, then you get written up on the notorious ‘Maybes’ list.
And if you don’t show, I send a SWAT team to track you down.

Well hai then. Is the (and this is a fairly illogical and weird question to be asking) time, 5:30 EST supposed to be AM or PM?

Oh yeah, right. drops invite request

Errors happen. Double posts happen. REDCATED.

See above…

Oh, it actually posted. I submitted this the second the forums went down; I was left with an endless spinning circle.

Alright. Time to actually make the roster.

Alright… I think every is set straight. Yeesh, Waypoint. Why you gotta be so lag?

I’d be down on other saturdays, might be late for this saturday.

I would be able to play but only on the MCC. Don’t own a 360 :confused:

Perfectly fine. Don’t have to own both.

This may be a stupid question, but what’s the population of Halo 4 on the 360 compared to that of Reach? I’d almost rather play Reach…if the pops are comparable.

Put me down as a maybe. It’s all up to if the MCC decides to work or not IMO.

As far as the 360 games go, we’d probably stick more so to custom matches, since we have an arsenal of them over there. As for population… I’d say that they’re pretty much the same. Not sure. :stuck_out_tongue:

EDIT: Actually no, I’m not coming.

I may…

Only the MCC though…but without a file-share…I have my doubts.

I know. We need Lizking or Cizlin with their bag of tricks. I’m trying my best to get gametypes via the backup methods. I’ll give a heads up tomorrow at how that goes.

Hey comic remember me I don’t really have much to do now so invite me to a game night I have xbox one and 360 so I am ready

Update:
Having a bit of luck with MCC customs. Having to friend the person, search the leaderboards, and or wait for them to get online is a bit of a hassle, but hey, it’s working. I just hope the MCC will handle the lobby well…

P.S. Userlink is a hassle itself to use. Not even sure why I use it.

I’ll just keep silent during the actual gameday, maybe using Smartglass messages or something to communicate, since I don’t have a mic.

I should have a bunch of Halo 2 customs. I might even have fat kid in Halo 3 as well. Doesn’t look like we have enough for Tower of Power, unfortunately…

I can’t be the only one who doesn’t have an idea of what either of these are. Seems like fun, though, I guess. :confused:

Whaaaaat!! Tower of Power is probably the most fun gametype in Halo when you have at least 12 people. Fat Kid may be a default gametype in the MCC actually, but it’s a version of Zombies that’s a blast.
