It has been mentioned on these hallowed forums of a possible EURO v USA match. I for one would be up for such a match if we can organise a suitable GMT\EST time period thats not too early or late, depending on where you live :-)
Suitable time for me would be a late Friday evening, say 23:00, so thats 18:00 EST ??, yes, no ??
Any takers for such an event ??

We would need a server that suit's both side's ping equally. Or mix both team's.

Or do it like the Davis Cup in golf. One match in on a US server the next is on a Euro server. There is a Jolt.uk 16player public server that usually empty. We just wouldn't be able to change maps, kick or ban. Or find someone willing to lend us their Euro server. We could call it the Halo Davis Cup.

Sounds very interesting! Just find yourself a team of other good Euro players, and I'm sure it will be done. The Euro-US-Euro server sounds fair to me, but I'm wondering, would it be the US-8 against the EU-8? If so, then is it anyone who chooses to go in? Should we have a password to balance the number of EU and US players?

Yea, sorry, but I am a rules and info guy, so I always just have to ask these questions.

Once more thing, how about same time, but on a Sat. night? I always play at 23:00 Sats anyway, so it would be great!

Sounds like fun!

Can I be Tiger Woods? You know, the guy that gets all hyped up because of how good he is, then gets smoked by all the other EU guys that he never really gets to play against?

Put me down for this one please

The ping is not too bad on the Bnet Maw server for me but then I dont do much sniping as I focus on CTF. The alternate server idea is probably the best way.
I am at the very top of the UK and I ping 160ish to the Bnet Maw and 50ish to the Jolt server just as a guide
Friday nights sound good to me

I played the Jolt public server tonight and it was packed out, met some familiar names from the EU bungie servers. MRA, BBC-Lefties and others. It is a standard CTF map rotation BG, Sidewinder, Timberland, Danger Canyon.
It might be hard to get a free for all slot?
There is a Jolt Halo forum but it is pretty dead, www.halo.jolt.co.uk

I would be up for it, but since my ping is only decent on European servers and Americans´pings are only decent on American servers, I´m afraid that this is technically impossible.

Btw, my idea of decent is <100.

Somebody needs to install a Halo server on the Azores.

Lets start something anyway and worry about winning later, winning is overrated especially when you are as bad as I am.
We need more Euro players to sign up before we can go at it.
In the last two weeks I have been playing as regular as I can on B.net Maw and I am far from the best player or lowest ping most of the time. But Iggwilv has well balanced maps and weapons and more importantly most of the players play well and fair. The TK is low as is the bad mouthing abusive talk. Unfortunately most of the real action happens when we are in bed so it would be great to match up sometime.

So if you know good euro players who want a friendly give them a shout and get them into the forum.

I think it would have to be a password game otherwise there would be chaos
Any one for an argument about who gets to be Red. LOL

Here are the Maw members that have indicated they are from EU:

Adduxi
IceIceBaby
FarNorthSurfer
Spartan012
SCZero
Kiwi2k6
Mr. B

I haven't seen Mr. B in a while but he used to be active on these forums(constantly hammering on Bungie to fix HaloPC and the EU servers).

I suggest you guys hang out on the Euro server and recruit people to come here and then we can set up a EU Maw gathering as one of you suggested earlier.

Once we have a solid EU community here we can entertain a Halo Davis Cup tournament.
