Who: You and anybody else who reads this
What: Tuesday Maw Gathering
When: Aug 22th @ 7:00pm EST until whenever
Where: Bungie.net Maw server @ IP 8.2.0.184 password: cortana
Why: Because it so much more fun to kill people you know and laugh about it afterwards then to kill random noobs on public servers.

Maw Gatherings are when the members of these forums get together to wage mortal combat on the Maw server. Then we usually fill up this thread with our exploits and smacktalking. I usually record my pwnage with Fraps and post a montage the next day but lately my wireless has been making playing Halo difficult so I my not be there.

There is a Teamspeak server available for those that have microphones. The address is ts20.gameservers.com:8824.

Rules in brief:
No Intentional Teamkilling
Keep foul language, flaming and random off-topic chatting to a minimum
Keep flag, spawn and port camping to a minimum
Keep the vehicles out of the tunnels and bases
Have fun.

Map/gametype suggestions welcome.

BTW guys make sure you get the teamspeak program and pick up a headset at your local store. (Headsets are like $20.) Download it for free here http://www.goteamspeak.com/.
I was talking earlier and it is SO MUCH COOLER THAN TRYING TO TEXT.

Iggwilv I hope you don't mind I borrowed your instructions to tell everyone how to do this. You expained it much better than I could have.

Installing and setting up the mic. Plug the mic into your sound card in the appropiate hole, I forget what color. A lot of computer cases have mic ports in them so you don't have plug it into the back but you also must configure the system so it knows the mic is installed there.
After it is in connected go into Windows Control Panel and into the Sound and Audio Devices icon. Then go to the Voice tab and hit the Volume button in the Voice recording section. In the microphone column turn the volume up high and hit the Advanced button. In the next window there should be Mic Boost check box. Make sure it is checked. Go back to the Voice tab and hit the Test Hardware button and follow the directions. You should here your voice played back to you, cool huh.

Installing Teamspeak
This is easy. Double-click the exe and take all the defaults. Done

Configuring Teamspeak and connecting to our server
Open up Teamspeak and go to the Setting menu and select Sound Input/Output Settings. Select Push to talk and set the key to something easy to reach from your movement keys. Voice activation is annoying because everytime your chair creaks we hear it. Hit the Local test mode button and press the button you chose and start shouting. You should hear yourself shouting.
OK now you are ready to get on the MAW Teamspeak server.
Select Connect from the File menu. In the local server tab type Maw TS server or whatever in the server name, type ts20.gameservers.com:8825 in the address field. Select a nickname that will be displayed in the server area. Mine is MAW~Iggwilv. Select Anonymous for the login and then hit connect. A nice Female voice should inform you that you have connected. Key your mic and say something.


This makes communicating MUCH MORE EFFICIENT. It is so much easier to pwn and talk crap at the same time.

Oh and Igg make sure you change the address for the teamspeak at the beginning at this post from 8224 to 8225.


If you already have teamspeak than disregard this post.

Does teamspeak decrease your framerate? (I heard it does) But if it doesn't, I am so getting a mic. xD

I don't think so. I don't know that would be a question for Igg.

I was getting a solid 60 FPS the whole time I was playing with teamspeak today. I didn't even think about it until you asked the question. I imagine it may cause a little but nothing major, if it did gamers wouldn't use it.

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

Nah, It should decrease your framerate at all unless you are running with like 256 megabytes of ram, but then again thats not even enough to run windows. and while we are on the subject, running things like aim or msn will NOT lag your connection, they use almost no bandwidth.

But downloading videos from Quakecon (or whatever it was) will ;)

I have a freaky memory. I can't remember very much of what I hear, as I'm so severely hearing impaired, but I can usually remember almost everything that I read.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

Good times. I'm going to try to make it tonight. It's been weeks since I did a gathering.

Yeah I could have had a couple AP classes this year but I decided not to because someone said theres lots of HW. I get all my hw done either before school or during so I dont have to waste time at home.

It's regular HaloPC. I hate ghosts and shees and fuel rods so I tend to keep them out of the maps but I will try to get them in the future.

I see school is starting for most of you so here some advice. Do your homework BEFORE you play Halo and don't rush.. If your grades start slipping the first thing your parents hit is Halo. In college, you don't have parents to worry about but you also have to balance drinking, sex and homework.

My parents would kill me if they saw me playing on my computer before I finished my homework, so I have to do it.

Well I forgot to put the password in so I'll try to remember this Thursday. I really encourage you guys to get a mic and join the Teamspeak server. I was on tonight during the Gathering with Demigod and it's hilarious. Especially when we both see the same scene and bust out laughing.

Well I made a montage but it isn't that good. I used a trail version of Adobe Premier Elements which has much more tools and effects then Movie maker but I couldn't get it to make a descent wmv or mpg file. I didn't have time to figure out title and caption so its a little bland. But better then nothing. You can even hear Demigod on Teamspeak in the background.

Yesterday was a lot of fun....especially FFA slayer on Hang 'em High I did good. Started out the games in 1st after a couple good kills but fell to 4th by the end. Here's 2 sceens from it.

Post-Game

If you saw how i got this triple kill.....

The weird thing is...lately there have been so many new people.....I only know 1/3 of the people there. i'm used ot knowing everyone...but I still had some laughs...like on icefields this guy Darkhalo had a RL and I was on the teleporter cliff, and then I jumped down and he htoguth I was still up there so I shot him from behind.
