"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

Hey everyone!
The idea of running Gamebattles for Halo 3 over Bungie got a really good response, but we have a lot of things to work out first. This is a roster of all the players who signed up. If you're officially signing up, just leave the XBL account you'll be using. I'll put it next to your name so the members of each team can friend each other. I already know the main tags that some of you use, but I'll let you fill it in just in case. If for some reason I have you on the list and you can't participate, just let me know and I'll take it off. Sorry in advance. I'm sending out a PM to everyone who expressed interest.

Signups are going to close on Wednesday of this week at 11:59 P.M. EST. If we still need players to have enough for balanced teams, you can still enter until we do. Then season 1 is closed, and I'll figurre out teams sometime this week. If you're intersted in participating and we're full, leave me a post or PM and I'll make sure you get in for Season 2.

Edit: Actually, I'm fine if we can add a full team with each addition. I just don't want to only have 1 player and be forced to wait for 3 more. If you can run a full team (possibly 3 or 4) then PM with the tags.

Now we've got that out of the way, we all need to decide what game modes and settings we'd like to use. I'm going to say now that MLG settings are required. I don't remember what version of the MLG maps is currently in rotation, but we'll just be using the version that comes up in the playlist, unless anyone objects. Here's a list of maps and modes I was considering:

Construct: MLG Slayer and KOTH
The Pit: MLG CTF, Slayer and KOTH
Narrows: MLG CTF and Slayer
Amplified: MLG CTF and Slayer
Onslaught: MLG CTF and Slayer
Heretic: MLG CTF and SLayer
Guardian: MLG Oddball

So what does everyone want? Nothing is set in stone; we can even add or remove some weapons if we want. I just want to know what we're using, and I'll edit the post when we have everything officially set.

Finally, we need to figure how we're going to make the teams. Being a nerd, I thought I could just use D&D dice and randomly distribute players, which would at least be fair. I'm really not sure if that's best though. We'll set up times and who plays who later; this is mainly just a signup/discussion thread. So what does everyone think?

I was going to make my own team from my friends list, but this is fine too. If someone can't make it, can I sub in friends?

I can't see why not. If your friends have accounts here, they're welcome to sign up. If not, you can just tell me the Gamertags to post. How should we assign teams?

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

I think rank the players individually, then put the worst with the best, so (if we took 16 people):

Team 1:
1st - 16th - 5th - 12th

Team 2:
2nd - 15th - 6th - 11th

Team 3:
3rd - 14th - 7th - 10th

Team 4:
4th - 13th - 8th - 9th



Just as an example, it might be too hard to organise though.

edit: this also wouldn't work with people bringing their own friends in.

Maybe people just organise their teams themselves?

It would make it fairer on people like me though. I have a feeling I'm gonna die a lot. Still I love playing games like this.

The version that the MLG playlist currently uses is v8, I believe. I have all of the latest versions except Guardian Oddball v8, and Pit KOTH (because it was dropped).

To be honest, I don't mind who's on my team. I'd rather have the less-abled so I have an excuse to do badly! If friends are online I'll invite them in because we enjoy playing.

I'll happily not be a captain and be on someone else's team, but I have exams coming up and I'm 8 hours in front of most of you (+0 GMT) so I might be asleep when the games are scheduled.

This is a great idea for keeping it balanced. After all, a team of all 5 stars is no fairer than a team of all legit corporals. What does everyone want to do? I'm fine with all the people on the list just getting together and making teams. What do we want?

P.S. I hate that map

I think we should do the ranking thing. It's more fair.

I'll add your friends to the list once you know if they're down. I already added you though.

Yeah, timezones are going be an issue..... I think we'll just make an official schedule for the games of each team against each other one. We'll try and work out the times so they work for everyone.

Ok. I'll do the best I can to balance things out. I'll make another thread soon with the official teams.

Pretty sure it's in the rotation. Do you honestly dislike Amplified?

Next two weeks are sort of bad for me coz of exams as well. I usually still have a couple hours a day though.
