This seems like a logical idea for sorting out teams: there are 72 players currently in, divide by 4 (the number of players per team) equals 18. So that's 18 teams.

Take the 18 best players - all from Tier 1, and the remaining from Tier 2, and make them the captains/leaders of each team. That means the better players aren't going be together, so you're not going to get a situation like in school where people choose the best players because they know they'll win.

After that, I don't know. You could randomly draw teams, or you could work down the list, assigning players while moving through each team. So for example, you'd send Zoso Achilles to Team 1 and Mister Negative to Team 2 etc. while moving down.

Forgot to say, lanned Halo 3 for about 6 hours yesterday from casual to competitive settings. Game still holds up very well despite some minnor issues with the BR spread, and jumping was weird.

 

[BigShow36]

I still think the tournament should be zero-bloom.

Are there really people here who actually prefer bloom?

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Wait, I thought the tourney was in Halo 3...

There's no way you can keep everyone happy. Fracas should be given lee-way to come up with what he thinks is a best alrounder. Getting obsessed with which Bloom to use... could end putting a dark cloud over the thing.

Not trying to point at you, just don't want it becoming some Bungie Vs HaloGAF Humpday madhouse of everyone getting upset.

Hey, that ended really well too!

Any ideas as to why the netcode has gone to pot since the new year? Mulitple games in Reach sessions now are yellow/red bar, increased latency etc.

Decreased population is obviously a factor but there's over 2000 in snipes now, I always prefer good connection and I'm still playing 2 yanks on greenbar whilst everyone else is amber.

 

[Overdoziz]

I bet the people who want bloom are in peasant tiers anyway and who cares about them?
Zero bloom for everyone!

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Make the tourney 300% speed and jump height. Also stream it on Twitch so I can watch,

 

[CyReN]

Finally came, yay.

I assume right after the poster arrived?

You like doing this, don't you?

We haven't been told there is no customizable HUD. So the disappointment from building up hope at this stage is potential disappointment.

Would be very nice though. The Campaign has a different HUD to Infinity. HOPE.

It was heavily hinted so... HOPE.

I still think the tournament should be zero-bloom.

I prefer ZB (locked rof DMR) to 75% bloom and 100% bloom but most people here have played more 75 and 100% bloom to ZB, it just makes more sense.

 

[Tawpgun]

Kyle does have a point on map distractions. Been watching some Halo 3 gameplay and everything looks so sleek and clean.

Haven is doing a good job at doing this, but Adrift is atrocious.

What would be cool is if we got a suite of arena style, symmetrical maps with simplicity in mind. I'd love another training facility like The Pit.

I prefer MLG settings. It's literally everything Reach got right and none of what it got wrong. But most people don't play MLG. I think its only fair we make the tourney TU settings. Whatever we do, its not going to be 100% bloom.

 

[Falagard]

I'm going to play Halo 3 until Halo 4 comes out. Game is so much better than Reach.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

I completely forgot how funny, clever and downright informative this was.

This is so true. Should we play tonight again?

 

[ArchedThunder]

Customizable HUD?
In a console game?
Unlikely.

The Conduit.

 

[Falagard]

Would but I'm out of town till Sunday. Every other night though, fo shizzle.

 

[CyReN]

I'll be on later if you guys want to play (10/11pm est)

Yeah but Halo 3 isn't immersive. Halo 4's multiplayer maps are immersive.

We played your haven map yesterday, fantastic job btw.

Someone who was playing the game with us, and already has played on Haven, says it was quite accurate, in terms of everything bieng where it should be.

Although the scale is closer to Guardian, nevertheless, great job.

Wu, Nathan and Ellis are looking awesome there.

Did the 15 gameplays not do it for you?

 

[lybertyboy]

This is not a multiplayer vidoc.

Are you telling me I have to pull something out of a swamp before we get a multiplayer vidoc? Well I better get on that...

Fantastic seeing Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk there.

Ellis, you're looking good, man.

Overall, a great showing and presence.

 

[Gabotron ES]

Was that a forge piece in the trailer?

Also, someone make a gif of the promethean shots pls!

No? It was more a part of Haven.

 

[daedalius]

I'm going to play Halo 3 until Halo 4 comes out. Game is so much better than Reach.

It has some bad stuff too, but I don't think as much bad stuff as Reach does.

Narrow FOV, crappy netcode sometimes, inconsistent BR...

but then you compare that to bloom, nuclear grenades, awful vehicles, the banshee, sprint double melee, derp rockets, easy sniper (well not for me), etc

MLG Halo 3 settings are amazing though.


Good video.

 

[ArchedThunder]

I don't think so.

Lol, I still find that freaky.

How do you know it's not the other way around?
