@Helveck

Just an Average Joe...

UPDATE AFTER GAME NIGHT:

Thank you to all that showed! I had a blast but also got my ass handed to me several times. I tried to ensure that everyone who wanted to participate was able to join... Please understand that getting everyone in the same place at the same time was a tad difficult, so we're working on formulating a system for next time that makes it a hell of a lot easier, and faster to organize all who want to participate (in fact some ideas have already been discussed)

As well, I was a bit taken back at how quiet it was to begin with in certain squads. Though when Chickenlittle informed me we should use the "Team Chat" feature, the communication floor opened up and the game felt a lot more Community oriented, which was nice.

There are definitely still some things to iron out to make this all easier and less of a headache for both the organizers, myself, and all of you guys so please put up with our nonsense and we hope to see you on the battlefield again soon!

Cheers.

UPDATE AS OF GAME NIGHT:

For now, to get everyone organized and on the same page I think its best if we set up separate Party Chats. Once everyone is accounted for (or all who can be) we'll all simultaneously hop into an empty server and then exit the Party Chat system.

Some of you may be aware of an already existent group, known as The Community Carnage... This group has existed for almost a year now in order to encourage, facilitate and assist in doing what this site seemingly tends to do best... And that is bringing Members of this very Community together. Like many of us here, at the start of it all their main focus was centered around Halo. But now the years have past and with many of us divided and separated between the various games, it is easy for our once regular interactions through online gaming to fade and so we lose the same connections we might have once had.

Although, all that is about to change...

The Community Carnage, along with bringing events of its own, will act as a central Hub for a number of groups. The important purpose that these other groups will serve, is to provide an even more specific focus for those looking to find people here to share other areas of gaming with. Each group will most likely focus on specific titles, and since this concept is in nothing more than its infancy, future titles and affiliates are yet to be decided. You can read about it in more detail here.

Though as some of you might now have guessed, the first partnership has already been forged...

And so I present to you for the first time, The Bungie Community Army. We're proud to announce the FIRST official Battlefield 3 game night, coming to you this Thursday, January 12th at 7:00pm PST.

Sign up begins here, and let it be known that for this first event registration will be shared with The Bungie Community Army, who will fill eight spots. I open the additional 16 to you, the community.

Please note that the following things should be kept in mind when registering:

1. You may only play every other game night.
2. Please, if you do sign up, show up. We won't reserve spots.
3. It is preferred that you possess applicable DLC.
4. IF you join BCA after reading this thread and sign up in the duplicate thread within the group, PLEASE state you have come here as a result of this thread.
5. If signing up, simply for clarity purposes please post a definitive "Yes" if you are able to attend.

Gametypes:

4 Rush Games (Both sides played)
4 Conquest Games (Both sides played)
1 Team Deathmatch

So, if you're interested in shooting, blowing things up and or a healthy combination of both, feel free to sign up below!

I have been playing Battlefield quite a lot lately, but I don't think I can make it to this event...

That does raise a point. It is never specified whether the event is 10AM or 10PM, I assume PM, but it is kind of confusing. Either way, the time of the event does seem pretty strange though.

Are these kinds of threads allowed here now? Interesting.

Got a question, comment, or concern? PM me.

Wish I could join you guys, but I don't have BF3.

  • 01.09.2012 4:37 AM PDT

I'd like to sign up, but I'm not sure if I can play. If I can come I'd like to run a live stream.


You probably want to do it earlier in the day. :)


Helvick is on my friend's list.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

Of course! Community Carnage events and events affiliated with the Community Carnage (like this one) have been approved to posted here in the Septagon to bring the community together every now and then to have a bit of competitive fun! There have been many Carnages before!

I will definitely be in attendance! I really hope Phenomenon is on the other team.

Just for the sake of clarity, by PST you mean Pacific Standard Time yes?

  • 01.09.2012 4:54 AM PDT

How do you even arrange this? The servers are horrible and it's an absolute pain to even get 4 players in the same team at times - so just how are you arranging this exactly?

I may be able to join this one. However, I won't be home until around 10 pm central time.

Good to see that the time has been clarified, but I definitely won't be able to make it.

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

As you waste your breath complaining about life, Someone out there is breathing their last. Appreciate what you have.

If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.

We've played Halo every other community carnage night. Its nice to mix things up a bit.

Playing a Bungie game would be a change for many of you. Thats what kind of irks me about these things. The only time most of you play Halo is when you make a thread about it. Now we have to read about you playing Battlefield as well?

You are right, these threads do draw attention away from far more interesting threads. It's nice for this forum to live up to its name once in a while and engage in community activities.

I'm not saying the "my title is bigger yours" threads, or the "what color did the ninjas poop last night?" threads are any better. But I couldn't get anyone besides TuffJuice or Spawnling to come play if my life depended on it. Every time I see it, community carnage is the same people over and over, and many of them would refuse to play any other time unless they make a thread about it.

I prefer to play with a full party, why can't I make a thread looking for players? Why is this private group considered "Community", while I am not? If we want to be a community that plays together, great, lets let people form parties here. Otherwise, who's ass can I kiss to get that sort of special treatment?

And as always, SEND ME A PM. Please. Or really bad things will happen to you.

I'm with Stevobi here. It's great that them community plays together, but if any other group tried this the thread would get locked. I mean, it's not even about a Bungie game.
