Halo Night - TUESDAYS 8PM

shoesonwrong · **Posted:** Mon Sep 20, 2010 16:39

Oh me! Me! Pick me! *flails*

That will be 2:30 in the afternoon for me, but I like to be included. Is it okay if I'm terrible? I try very hard to not be terrible, but alas, I am often terrible. This is the first Halo game I've played for more than five minutes, so I'm still getting the hang of it.

My gamertag: girl detective

I take it you need HALO REACHING for to be included in this?

The fact that this thread isn't titled HALO: Bezzie Reacharound is fucking criminal.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Mon Sep 20, 2010 16:50

It's very misleading. I was fully expecting it to be Halo - Combat Evolved. And so, for that reason, I'm out.

shoesonwrong - you're in! And don't worry - I don't think any of us are particularly good, plus we're playing silly custom games mainly where the focus is fun and silliness. Basically blowing stuff up and that.

Everyone else, thread title updated!

It got into the subtitle.

Yeah I thought mine was better.

I'm not reading one subtitle.

(Literally, as I use View Active Topics, which doesn't show them.)

We'd better be playing some proper games like Slayer Pro or Slayer DMRs not just stupid crap.

Are you in tomorrow, Wullie? You seem to be missing from the list but I could swear you said yes...

myp · **Posted:** Mon Sep 20, 2010 19:03

I'm back in the game!

Managed to rejig my real life, and everything. How sad.

In time honoured tradition I will neither confirm or deny

Just now it seems likely, but who knows what the morra will bring.

WTB · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 14497

I'll be on from about 7:30 so I'll start sending invites out between then and 8. Remember, don't be afraid to jump in if you want to, and feel free to add me on XBL if you're not on my list already! It'll make things easier if you're already sitting in the Halo Reach lobby thing, because then you'll show up on my list for easy inviting.

I'm in for this. I'm shit and I've never played Multiplayer Halo.

markg · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 16610

I have and I'm shit anyway. I'll probably be on later, half eight/nine.

myp · **Posted:** Tue Sep 21, 2010 19:00

I'll be online, but am not going to be playing Reach until 8:30-9ish.

kalmar · **Posted:** Tue Sep 21, 2010 19:02

I've not gotten this. Even if I had there wouldn't be a free slot. Yore all gay.

WTB · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 14497

I'm sure there'll be plenty o slots! Usually a few people don't turn up - real life stuff gets in the way (which is totally fine and understandable by the way). Hopefully we'll get a decent number of bezzies though.

Hark at the Axl Rose of bezzie online gaming.

myp · **Posted:** Tue Sep 21, 2010 19:30

Change of plan. I am available as of now.

TheVision · **Posted:** Tue Sep 21, 2010 19:33

I'll be on around 8ish.. Save me a seat.

MaliA · **Posted:** Tue Sep 21, 2010 19:34

I'd like to say that Halo Night on BeeX falling on a Tuesday has made me very, very happy.

I knew chucking all of those bottles would work.

Apologies I will have to drop out of this, I've had a really brain sucking day at work & am knackered.
I'm off to bed early

I can't make this, when is it?

WTB · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 14497

It's going on now! Sorry gospvg hope you make it next week matey!

sdg · **Posted:** Tue Sep 21, 2010 22:48

Great fun tonight, cheers guys! Was great to see so many different people drop in through the night. I may never play again just because I can't possibly top that last win.

I'm also a bit gutted that Jen is better than me :'(

nickachu · **Posted:** Tue Sep 21, 2010 22:51

I take it none of you are playing mw2 anymore then

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Tue Sep 21, 2010 22:59

We're having a fun weekly halo game.

myp · **Posted:** Tue Sep 21, 2010 23:13

That was amazing fun. Really brought back awesome memories of Halo 3 three years ago.

Much thanks to WTB for organising this - long may it carry on!

TheVision · **Posted:** Tue Sep 21, 2010 23:41

What Myp said... that was ace!

Malabelm · **Posted:** Tue Sep 21, 2010 23:56

Sorry for not accepting your invitation, Pegleg. I was doing an offline co-op, and my broadband is too shit to bother trying online at the moment.

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Wed Sep 22, 2010 0:06

We spent most of the night with 16/16 players anyway. Even without your crap broadband.

MaliA · **Posted:** Wed Sep 22, 2010 0:13

I really want this now.

Tell me stories of the epic battles, please?

WTB · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 14497

Even better, Mali! I'm preparing a... MONTAGE! FUCK YEAH! I'll probably do one every week. Stand by - the screenshot uploading process is a bit tedious. Also, people who played tonight - remember if you want any film rendering to get a clip edited in Theatre mode and upload it to your fileshare, then I can render it from there. I only have 30-odd minutes of rendering time, so no 15 minute epics please!

Let me know if that allows you to view a bunch of screenshots. If you mouseover on any player's head, you'll notice they're tagged, Facebook stylee (seriously fucking impressive). I'm also uploading a bunch of the best ones directly to here, and a couple of videos to YouTube.

myp · **Posted:** Wed Sep 22, 2010 1:45

I've uploaded my sword spree and last 20-odd kills of the 102 kill epic to my file share. Do your shizzle, Jonny!

Halo Night One - September 21st

CLICK PICS FOR BIGGER NON-UGLY VERSIONS!

We played a bit of Oddball:

It got pretty hectic at times:

Some people managed to hold the ball for longer than others:

But they all wound up shafted in the end:

I even managed to punch a girl in the face:

Ian Aris had best watch out for that mine:

Too late:

It was the final lap and I was doing pretty well, aiming for a respectable third or possibly second place. But Mr Dave had other ideas for me:

The explosion propels me forward - I might even wind up in the lead thanks to this explosive boost:

(Notice Dave calmly getting back on his Mongoose as I fly through the air.)

But no such luck as I fly completely clear of the next checkpoint:

And I land in a heap at the bottom of the cliff, forced to go all of the way back around to get the checkpoint. I finish in last place second-last place. Thanks Dave:

These are all of the screenshots I have taken uploaded to Bungie.net:

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileS ... er=Jonarob

I'm not sure if you need a gamertag to view them, or even if they'll work for everyone else, but let me know. If you click on the thumbnails to get the larger image up, you can mouseover any players in a screenshot to see who they are.

myp's videos:

If anybody else wants a video rendering, let me know! Else, we'll save the minutes for next Tuesday!

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Wed Sep 22, 2010 2:31

I think that race grenade was my favourite moment of the night. Somewhat born of desperation, having been leading until that sodding mine on that path. As it standed, it ended up with Perkies (who was in 4th at the point) winning by less than a mongoose length from me.

And you didn't finish last. Myp had that honour.

WTB · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 14497

Ha! Myp sucks!

Okay, I've updated the OP to make it all clear and ting. If you're playing next Tuesday let me know and I'll update the list.
