The End

‘The conscious is cancerous if allowed to linger’

"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."

Game: Halo 2 (Xbox)
Start time: 4PM PDT on Thursday 31st May

As promised a Halo 2 carnage event will go ahead. It was delayed as result of divine intervention, to allow Big Black Bear to play.

Same spiel as before still applies, sign-ups have however been cleared (although those that did sign up last time will be prioritised if places are oversubscribed).

Setting up XBConnect: Hopefully this step-by-step guide will leave you mostly unscathed by the many wires and words. Grit your teeth, it's worth it.

ENSURE THIS IS SETUP WELL IN ADVANCE AND UNDERSTOOD FULLY BEFORE SIGNING UP (the thread has been posted early to give you plenty of time to sort it out)

Step 1: Check you have a compatible network setup (Help! My laptop/PC is wireless!)
Step 2: Download XBC client
Step 3: Download WinPcap
Step 4: Run XBC (create account), switch on Xbox and begin searching for system link games on Halo 2; provided you have correctly completed past steps your console will synch with your PC.
Optional step: More in depth guide; ensure you can hear others in game & host matches of your own.

_____________________________________________________________ ________________

Awesome, how do I sign up?
All you need to do is post your XBC username in this thread and confirm you can play. Note that as before you enter a legally binding contract in doing so. Should you fail to attend your mother is fair game. If we are already aquainted we'll throw in a video. If you are unconvinced PM me for links to a montage involving Apocalypex's mother.

Maps and Gametypes
Game 1: Team King on Midship (Let the carnage flow through you)
Game 2: Tower of Power on Ascension (I would rather play Phantom Pistols on Waterworks, but tradition dictates we play)
Game 3: Team Ball on Lockout (having made half the party rage quit, I am hypocritically throwing in the most overplayed map in the history of Halo... with an Oddball)
Game 4: Zombies on Foundation (we'll be playing with honour rules; if you do not change teams a mother video will also be disclosed, only warning)
Game 5: One Flag on Burial Mounds (I was honestly at a loss choosing the gametypes as Halo 2 has too many bloody good launch maps. I decided to go for something underrated for the last bout of the evening)
*And yes all games will have BR starts, because the SMG is god awful.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

You guys should use Halo 2 VISTA, xbox connect never works right with me.

The way this is phrased, it makes it seem like you think xbconnect is at fault.

What are we supposed to be discussing here?

Oops!

Goddammit. I still don't have a Halo 2 disc.

He'd have instantly stopped and knelt down, one fist on the ground, hoping to be impervious to the officer's attacks. When this would have failed and he's in the back of the police car, he'd blame his predicament on his friends for not being team players.

Wait, we have to have Halo 2 for the xbox?

If so, man, I just downloaded all that stuff for nothing.

I need the answer.
Well, you could try using a Halo CE disc, it might be a little hard to play Lockout.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Do we need map packs? My game won't pick them up from the HDD. (forgot which maps the game shipped with/ what came out in DLC).
