The next step now that we've decided we want a server and we can have a server for Halo and Halo CE is to decide when and what we're going to play. Everyone who posts in this thread should answer the following

#1 - What game will you play Halo, Halo CE or both?
#2 - What maps do you want?
#3 - What gametypes do you want?
#4 - When do you play? (days of the week and times)

The Maw servers may only be up part of the week, so we need to know what times are best to have them on.

1. CE
2. Area 53 on organized events (very fun with a group), otherwise H2_Zanzibar, Red Feather Ranch, W5rtorn Cove, etc. All the good ones!
3. CTF, TS, CTF, TS
4. Friday, weekends, random times.

#1 - Both
#2 - The more classic originals, damnation, hang em high, rat race, and of course H2_Zanzibar for the halo CE
#3 - What gametypes do you want? CTF, Team Slayer, Slayer, Juggernaut, Reverse Tag, Ninjanaut ( juggernaut with an invisible juggernaut), Sniper Oddball (works well on Hang em high if person with oddball runs really slow), Team King of the Hill (not crazy king. in a small map like wizard)
#4 - let me put it this way, I don't play when I'm sleeping or eating... lol I'm on during the day usually 8am PST to 5pm PST during weekdays, usually play longer on friday and sat and sun

EDIT: in regard to my number 3 yes I want all of those gametypes but primarly stick with having it MOSTLY CTF with the others thrown in to mix things up (so no two ctf games would be played one after the other. I'll put up MY servers .init file so you can see what I mean.

dangercanyon "SniperCTF"
bloodgulch "Classic Reverse Tag"
ratrace "crazyctf"
wizard "Classic Stalker"
bloodgulch "Classic Accumulate"
hangemhigh "Snipers"
dangercanyon "Classic CTF"
hangemhigh "Snipers"
beavercreek "crazyslayer"
bloodgulch "CTF"
hangemhigh "cstmoddball"
timberland "CTF"
longest "InsaneKing"
damnation "onelife"

1. I will play both but mostly PC.
2. I am fine with most maps, but Infinity is the only map that I don't like. For CE I would like to see Frost used atleast for a little while cause I haven't seen it being played in.
3. No shields snipers. Thats what I like. I also like odd ball matches, and of course you need the rat race, no shields, infinite grenades.
4. I play between 3:30pm and 10:pm eastern time randomly on week days. And when ever I feel like it on week ends. As long as its not in the morning or during school I don't really care when its up.

Davis and I have made the decision that the servers we set up will be on CE. This will work best for us, and for those that play. Davis and cannot keep our servers up all the time, so we're having to split the week. Thus, instead of Halo PC for half the week and Halo CE for the other half, we're going to just keep a Halo CE server set up all week. We hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone.

If you have any questions about setting up CE or installing any maps, please ask. We want anyone to be able to play. Frankly, anyone who is able to play Halo PC online is also able to play Halo CE online (except for You3t - cuz he's got a mac - sorry bro...). So be prepared to download the file - you can get it at a site called haloimpulse.

1). Both But you already said it would be two CE servers rotating.

2). Blood Gulch, Sidewinder and Gephyphobia w/ no banshees for CTF; Prisoner, Wizard or Chill Out for Classic Slayer Boarding Action for Sniper Throw in Chiron TL34 Stalker to mess with peoples heads :) I haven't played enough of the CE maps but new mombosa, the wartorn coves, halo Hq, and island hop look cool. I think zanzibar is over-rated but it's like the "Blood gulch" of CE so I will just suck it up.

3) I'd like to see at least one King or Krazy King, and one Slayer where you have specific people to kill( i forget what it is called) and Assault CTF is refreshing every once in a while. I beg you to use a "classic" weapon setup to keep the Fuel Rod Gun out of most maps. If you put Banshees on a map include tanks or plenty of chain hogs to counter them otherwise it becomes a sheenoob fest.

4) I play between 6pm - 1am EST weekdays and weekend afternoons or evenings

Well, its been decided but I still have my input! Whoo hooo!
1. Pc, but I will play CE on occasion I suppose.
2. Big fan of HEH, Prisoner, Damnation, Chillout.
3. CTF is good on all of them. If you put in a sniper only, make sure at least one HAS shields. No shields gets old because its a shot anywhere on the hit box. Try and avoid Heavy Weapons becuase that gets old as well. I dont mind a little Crazy King here and there. I dont play too much besides CTF so I guess Im up for anything.....

That would be fun. I am trying to get a ded server working. It shows up on Gamespy and I can connect to it from the computer it is running on, but I cannot connect to it from my other computer. Can you help me? I have ports 2302 and 2303 open and Halo on the server machine is using 2301 instead of 2302. Its open too. The name of the server is Printing... and its on PC.

EDIT: I fixed it. Now all I need to do is get some people to join and see if its laggy or not. I haven't changed the gametypes but I will do that now.

1. PC. I don't have CE 'cause Macsoft is a bunch of lazy bums (to put it politely).
2. I don't really care. I'm better at Danger Canyon, and Ice Fields, but I'm easy with w/e
3. Slayer or CTF. No Heavies. I prefer w/o shields, cause they teach you that it's acceptable to stand still. No motion sensors either.
4. I'm on usually from about 3:30 (Central) to whenever. On weekends It varies.


Anyway, Agreeing with Munkey there, It's still nice to have input.

A comment on your new sig - You3t:

When Bungie adds a search feature to the forums, Then you can say DON'T POST CRAP! You can't honestly expect someone to comb through hundreds of threads trying to see if what they're asking or talking about has already been posted....

I think he meant in a thread, read the posts don't just reply to the first one without seeing if what you are going to say has been said already. What kind of internet connection do you have Inspire?

1- both, though i'd need to get more maps, i only have 10 right now :(
2- Blood gulch, hangem high, wizard, oh and zanzibar classic ;)
3- anything: CTF,Slayer, including New Mombasa/Zanzibar Halo 2 gametypes
4- Umm while to start off i'm -5 GMT (Toronto, Canada) and i'll usually play any time on weekends, and 4p.m. - 9p.m on weekdays.

The server will be called 'The Maw' or something like it - if you can't pick it out from the handful of CE servers, then.....

I apologize for any inconvenience it may cause that davis and I are setting the servers up on CE. I'm gonna quit the nice-nice and be honest - I don't see how CE is any worse than PC (except it's not made for mac). It's the same game, just better, more fun, and with more add-ons. If you don't feel like dl'ing CE, then I guess you won't be able to play on our servers. CE is fun guys - give it a shot - these will be forum servers - not stacked and hacked n00blet servers. If you have any kind of broadband, the dl for Halo CE doesn't take more than 2 hours.

Speaking of area 53, how do you get out of the jail. It's so hard.

1. Jump onto the concrete platform.
2. Crouch, while crouching jump on top of the covenant transmitter.
3. Stand up.
4. Jump straight up and near the apex, crouch and move forward, continuing to crouch, and land in the vent.

Its the same as PC, your profile will be copied so all you have to do is get the maps.
