If you can get MLG on board, that would be epic. Gotta keep the peace!

There's always peace

Seriously though if this gets done with would be a tremendous step forward for tournaments and possibly a playlist. At least viewership would be across the board.

 

[Reagan's BR]

Progress!

I just got in talks with:

• Diesel
• Arena Gaming
• European Gaming League
• Australian Cyber League
• ForgeHub
• BTB.net
• The Halo Council

They are all on board to work on a set of competitive rules. I'm hoping that MLG/GB/Ghost join us, this should be a united front.

I'll nominate myself as the HaloGAF rep.

343 isn't just a game development studio, they manage the entire franchise. I'm sure a fair chunk of those 300 or so people (if that number is correct) didn't actually work on the game.

Didn't they hire as they were going too? It sounds like they were short on manpower for a big chunk of development.

 

[TheOddOne]

Ghal, hope you are ok.



Shit, that sucks.

Somebody said, that you can do the commendation in SpOps. If true, this is a lot easier, then messing around in MM.

I was wrong about that. The vehicle category does say Campaign or Spartan Ops, but the splatter commendations specifically specifies "enemy Spartans" and that takes precedence I guess. Which makes sense I guess but is still a bit confusing.

 

[Fracas]

Ghal, hope you are ok.



Shit, that sucks.

Oh damn. Hoping he's alright.

 

[BlueScrote]

Well my usually SpOps crew are online tomorow. Figure we could farm 75 splatters pretty quickly. (have not played this week SpOps yet what is best mission)

Ill report back tomorrow confirming either way. Hopefully you can

Splatters in Spartan Ops don't count towards the splatter commendation.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Stealth package, if you're struggling with PV-users. Certainly not something I've ever wanted, but if you like sneaking around, there's a package for that.

You still show up.

 

[Aggrotek]

Then why do the Wheelman's?

It needs MLG to collaborate and adopt the settings though.

Where did Ghost come from with all this stuff? I'm pretty sure he disappeared during Halo Reach and now somehow has position in MLG to pull these strings? What did I miss here?

Also matched against him and Defy in Slayer Pro today. Had a pretty epic match but we lost by 3.

edit: Also, Trey, Cabbie, can you guys get on for the league match tonight?

I don't know how he got on, he did have a stint with THC but he went away so that kinda faded. My only issue is how "in touch" is he really with the community now.

 

[op_ivy]

Oh damn. Hoping he's alright.

hes on twitter. hes fine.

ghal, take it easy.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

IGN's top ten Halo maps.

 

[Tashi]

I just need him to be open. I don't expect him to be reading forums and shit lol. I do expect him however to talk to community leaders, current pros to nail down these competitive settings.

If there is a playlist, it's gotta be called, "Competitive" or something like that. It can't be tied to a single organization. But yea this is good. A unified set of gametypes and maps is key.

edit: No Midship!?! IGN is dead to me forever. Wow

 

[thezerofire]

IGN's top ten Halo maps.

Exile and Last Resort, LOL

 

[Digital Limit]

You still show up.

In the same way that active camo users "show up" the same to everyone?

You'll be lucky to be noticed by a PV user if you're not glowing red.

You're the last one out on that. Get the lights!

 

[Plywood]

IGN's top ten Halo maps.

Exile, Last Resort, Ivory Tower, Ascension...

 

[Fracas]

Exile? What

 

[Tashi]

You're the last one out on that. Get the lights!

I held out hope because they have Naomi Kyle

 

[Merguson]

IGN's top ten Halo maps.

Where's Midship?

It's better than Lockout.

EDIT: Hope you are okay Ghal.

 

[CyReN]

I thought that was a Onion article.

10)Exile
9)Guardian
8)Last Resort
7)Battle Creek
6)The Pit
5)Ivory Tower
4)Ascension
3)Hang Em High
2)Lockout
1)Blood Gulch

 

[op_ivy]

that is indeed a shit list of halo maps. jesus. i think only lockout, guardian, and the pit would make my top 10

EDIT: i like exile, doubt it would be in my top 10 though.

 

[Havok]

Having Last Resort on there instead of Zanzibar is hilarious enough, but then you also get: "We Recommend: Team Slayer, One Bomb, Assault, VIP, Infection, Capture the Flag"

I believe the phrase is "lol IGN."

Plus, Battle Creek over Beaver (when Beaver was a big layout improvement), Blood Gulch over Coag (see previous), and having Exile on there at all when it's just a clusterfuck of tank and Banshee explosions with some Gauss rounds thrown in.

Ascension isn't a top ten map, and Ivory Tower is pretty questionable as well.

 

[op_ivy]

you left out infection in your bolding

 

[Fracas]

The fact that the Pit isn't top 3 is terrible enough. Also how in the hell is Midship not even on the list?

 

[Havok]

you left out infection in your bolding

I avoided Infection like the plague in Halo 3 (get it?), so I wouldn't know how bad it was on there.

(you're probably right)

 

[BlueScrote]

Then why do the Wheelman's?

I think it's because Splatter says:

Splatter Enemy Spartans with a vehicle

whereas Wheelman says:

Earn any of these 4 medals: hijack, roadtrip, skyjack, wheelman

 

[neoism]

Ghal, hope you are ok.



Shit, that sucks.

[Fracas]

Why does anyone take IGN seriously?

They're like the Dollar General brand of game sites

 

[Enfinit]

ahahaha, brilliant post. surely ign forgot gemini in the runner up list though?

I thought Chiron-34 would've been mentioned in there somewhere.

 

[Ryaaan14]

That list seems pretty fair to me.

¯\_(&#12484_/¯

ahahaha, brilliant post. surely ign forgot gemini in the runner up list though?

The fuck? That's honestly one of my favorite maps.

 

[op_ivy]

...I liked Gemini.

 

[enzo_gt]

IGN's top ten Halo maps.

Exile? Already?

At least they didn't put shit like Waterworks or Burial Mounds on there, so I guess it's not that bad. Crisis averted.

 

[Poker Face]

trueskill seems pretty bad in team games when you go in alone. i dont know why i even bother :/

 

[HigherLevel]

This game could be so good if they would just get rid of random ordnance, instant spawns, and flinch.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

what in the SHIT

Exile!?

Last Resort!?

Ascension!?!?

BACKWASH AND EPITAPH FOR HONORABLE MENTIONS!?!?

[enzo_gt]

I love how it's Last Resort and not Zanzibar too.

Not that I'd put Zanzibar on that list.

The game needs a mercenary playlist, such a huge oversight.
