What: Maw Gathering
Who: You(hopefully) and other regulars from these forums
When: This Tuesday night Apr 18 The map rotation hopefully will be up by 6pmEST and I will leave it up all night so you can come anytime that's good for you.
Where: Bungie.net Maw server IP: 8.2.0.184
Why: Because it is so much better to pwn someone you know and rub their face in it the next day, then killing random pukes on public servers

For those who don't know Maw Gatherings are nights when regulars from these forums play together on a server I rent. Anyone is invited, bring a friend. We always have fun, kick/ban the losers, and the next day we share the previous evening events.

I also ask you to give me ideas about the gametypes and maps you would like to see, so I can come up with a good rotation.

I'm also going to be on Teamspeak if you want to chat real-time The address is ts20.clanservers.com:8824.

I second that motion!!!!
I third that notion!!!

Man, no shields team snipers CTF on Blood Gulch is the best!

I have my own gametype: Classic Team Fortress! It's a game of CTF with no shields and human weapons only, and only warthogs, on Blood Gulch.

(Blood Gulch is my favorite map. I'm really good in BG.)

yeah I couldn't remember if it was notion or motion. yeah BG is great. I played CTF with no vehicles up to 3 captures, it took 8 hours because of no time limit. I racked up about 300 kills, because I was in and out. BG is just a spectacular map, symmetrical almost, it's just good

Also, put in some team KoTh, no rat race CTF assault, the blue team just has a TREMENDOUS disadvantage, no rat race CTF at all lol. Let's see.... reverse tag, team phantoms, CTF Texans (50% health no infinite grenades shotguns/pistols) on any map, it is really good gametype. CTF wizard normal weapons, Danger Canyon no covenant weapons, Oddball Sidewinder teams or FFA, team slayer (50 kills! 25 is too short) on Ice Fields with rifles only.

since i couldnt spend that much time on tuesdays gathering, ill do my best to play full time on thursdays gathering =)

oh and iggwilv, can you put in BG default weapons CTF, but with no vehicles? i know it sounds wierd to play on a big map CTF, without vehicles, but i find it more tactical when you can actually concentrate on firing your weapons instead of being paranoid of being run down by a hog, or using a hog instead of firing your own weapons, and plus, the person with the flag has to run on foot to score, so it will require more teamwork to get a score.

Yeah, I'll have to agree with that one. It's not a very wierd idea at all, Ipjuunin, especially in Blood Gulch. I like playing games where I don't have to worry about stupid whining babies screaming "OMFG HOG NOOBZ!!!!" Fighting on foot is very fun, and although I like vehicle combat, sometimes the person who is in the vehicle has an unfair advantage, so fighting on foot really tests you to see who is the better fighter. And you're right, if you go on foot, there has to be a lot of teamwork involved to capture that flag or to take it back. No vehicles is refreshing and fun.

So I'll second that notion.

You guys always come up with gametypes I hate and then vote several times for them so I have to include them. The only reason people have snipers CTF is so they can kill more then 100 because getting the flag is damn near impossible. I'll include it but I'm putting the hogs in so there is a chance of getting the flag and setting the time limit to 15 to 20min. It's impossible to walk across Blood Gulch when its full of snipers.

Then you suggest no vehicle CTF on Blood Gulch. Ugh, who the hell want to trek across that map. Again I will put it in but don't be surprised if I get network problems when they come up.

In addition, I will be getting my new mouse tonight and will have too create some of these maptypes. The map rotation may not be up until 7 - 8pm, so you will have to make do with the CTF rotation that is currently running.

You can't from here. When you open Halo click Multiplayer then click Internet to list the games in the GameSpy lobby. The name of the server is called "Bungie.net Maw Server" highlight that line and click join.

Another method is to click Direct IP and put in the IP address of the server which is 8.2.0.184.

Actually, I've seen BG no-shields games without vehicles that work pretty well. Your team has to give you cover to score. It also helps if the flag must reset on it's own instead of returning when it is touched. It makes for a lot of back and forth struggling as you work it down the field.

I wish you could set up a game where the only way to return your flag is to pick it up and carry it back to your base, but it can't be done.

You don't have to do it Iggwilv. Choose the ones you think are best, we won't mind.

Ditto.

RatRace CTF is totally unfair for Blue, let's not do that.

Also, if I see any more Battle Creek, CKotH, I'll......well, I don't know what I'll do, but you can rest assured that it will be pleasantly gruesome.

I bought a headset with a mic, so I'll be trying the TS server if I get on tonight.

Remember people, if you have TeamSpeak, a microphone, and you want to chat or hear Iggwilv say that he's McKeegan's father while I giggle like a little Japanese schoolgirl, then connect to ts20.clanservers.com:8824.

Make sure your Halo is patched to 1.07. You can download it from microsoft.com and install it manually if you need to. That message comes up when you are running an older version.

Well I got my new Logitech G5 laser mouse and it's going to take me a while to get used to it. The coolest feature is that I can switch the dpi sensitivity in game by pressing a button on the mouse. So for instance the normal setting is 800dpi which is what my old one was. When I pickup a sniper rifle I can hit the button and change it to 400dpi so the aim is slower and easier to track the target without overshooting him. Another cool thing is that I can set custom values so 400dpi is a little slow so I set it 500dpi to get more movement. When I get this thing dialed-in how I like it you guys better look out.

I gave those gametypes a shot last night and I was right. Some people enjoyed them and most stayed but there was enough grumbling that I'm not going to use them again. The Damnation and Prisoner maps dropped my FPS in half last night but I've never noticed that before, I will have to keep an eye on that.

I got some footage so I will post a movie tonight when I finish editing it.

I turned off Teamspeak because I thought might be causing the framerate drop but it turned out not to be so. I'm not sure if it was McKeegan or Master Kim but everytime I said something it got echoed back about a second later. I will keep hanging out there because when we get a few people in there it can be fun trash-talking and even cooperating with each other to get the flag and stuff.

Ah, I couldn't play for very long. But I guess maybe some other time.

Hey, I noticed that the Maw Server is still on. I'm going to play on it.
