Well pretty simple question. We already have a Halo PC gathering hosted by Iggwilv, so i was wondering if you Maw people were interested in having a Custom Edition Gathering. I see no downside to this. If you haven't gotten it, go here. As well, check Chewy's Sticky on Halo Custom Edition for more info.

We could give you guys a list of maps to run on the server for you to download for gatherings. The IP would be the same, except the server will run on Halo Custom Edition.

What do you guys think?

You should have put in a choie for "Occasionally."

Add me to your friends list if you haven't already. It's a lot more fun to play with people from The Maw and people I know than random noobs.

Yeah, I think it's a great idea.

In fact I had this same idea, but I hadn't talked to Iggwilv about it. Why not? Just make sure that you post the maps, and it would be helpful to post a link to DL them in case we don't have them.

-EDIT-
I would've voted for "sometimes"

I'm actually surprised that the Maw days [b]aren't[b/] for HCE. The beauty of HPC is HCE and all the custom content and maps. I vote yes, but we should also discuss which maps and which gametypes.

No, we don't have it for Custom Edition because when people see the message in the Game Lobby in HPC, they see "Go to bungie.net/Maw for the new dedicated server URL" or something like that, and when they do come, I don't think they'll like the fact that they have to spend the "dial-up day" to download and install Custom Edition if they haven't already.

I don't mind it at all. Despite the fact that most of us only play multiplayer, and thus, would be better suited for CE, we still don't play it more often for some odd reason.

CE FTW!
Suggested maps:
Beryl
Epsilon
Fissurefall
Grove_final
Hugeass
Soli Deo Gloria
Yoyorast Island
I'd also like to see a gametype I've cooked up, I called it Rat Race, because I thought it would be good to do on that map. Obviously, if we're doing CE, no Rat Race. Just substitute in a good indoorsy map, or do it SDG with vehicles on. Any way:

Game Options:
Scoring: Maximum: Each team's score is equal to that of their highest scoring player.
Race type: Normal: To complete a lap, you must reach all the flags in order.
Laps: 5
Teams: Yes.
Time Limit: None.
Player Options:
Number of Lives: Infinite.
Health: 150%
Shields: Yes
Respawn Time: 10 seconds.
Respawn Growth: None.
Odd Man Out: No.
Invisible Players: No.
Suicide Penalty: 5 seconds.
Item Options:
Infinite Grenades: No.
Weapon Set: Rifles or Classic, your choice. I prefer Rifles.
Starting Equipment: Custom.
Vehicle Options:
No vehicles. (hogs 'n' ghosts on SDG)
Indicator Options:
Objectives Indicator: Nav Points.
Motion Tracker: All or Friends.
Friend Indicators: Yes.
Team play Options:
Friendly Fire: On.
Friendly Fire Penalty: 10 seconds.
Auto balance: On.

Flame me.

-EDIT- Wow, I took so long to type this up. I clicked Reply on Widow's post when there wern't any others. Anyway, If you put 'Custom Edition Gathering' as the server name, everyone will know.

Why should there be a password when barely over 50 people (I assume) are playing CE at any given time? Why not let people in if they have the maps? It would mix up the server list and not restrict them to playing on just non-dedicated servers and the regulars (FBI, MFD?, SW, CMT, DIESEL, MIB, and others I'm sure). There would be no problems because if there's a belief of aimbotting you can just load up sightjacker and ban the botters.

unless host has an aim botter detector, and also because some modders come in and screw up the game for us.

Well, K121 said that his clan was going to run the server I guess so a member of his clan would be able to boot/ban people. Also, he could just give a trusted/ more well known member of this forum the rcon info and such so that they too would be able to make adjustments to the servers attendence issues.

At least some of the time, there are far too many great maps that are never played. Getting some servers to move for some time would definitely help.

Ha, barely over 50 people? Try 400 last time I checked.

Well then, that proves I haven't been playing custom edition very much. I admit it because I'm sick of playing ctf on gulch where it ends up with me lagging badly everyone with a clan tag ending up with over 35 kill because they didnt try to CTF. Hugeass and coldsnap got boring to me after my first week of playing them, I don't really think screwing around on a laggy map is fun. In addition, you may see 400 people because you have many maps, where I only have a few (maybe 25-30 custom maps). So in CE everyone sees the server list differently.

That's a filter option. You can fix it.

You should see all maps, regardless of whether or not you have them. Your problem is either that you are unupdated, or you are running a crack. By the way, CE does have all original maps, Rat race and the others are still there.

So were debating about this again eh....

I'm all for it, but my controll scheme in CE is messed up, it won't let me put melee on the mousewheel with the zoom and weapon switching....

And if we do, NEVER EVER EVER SAY THAT HUGEASS OR COLDSNAPS SHOULD BE ON THE ROTATION. THESE ARE THE TWO MOST OVERATED MAPS AND AREN'T WORTH PUTTING ON THE SERVER....

Sorry, I just can't stand those two maps....

Yeah, and THIS many people agree:
Hugeass: 39812 downloads.
Coldsnap: 20544 downloads.
As of right now. And that's just from Halomaps.

400! Concurrently?!! Unfortunately I would have to see that to believe it. CE never had more then 150 players when I played it on and over for about a year. As for a CE Gathering your going to have the same issues as always. Players getting red cards and ejected from the pitch because they don't have the next map installed. Player not willing to download several 10-15MB map files.

If your going to do it, clearly state the map rotation well before the Gathering and it would be a good idea to put links directly to the download pages for the maps in the rotation. That way there is no confusion as the proper map. i.e. there are 4 versions of Wartorn Cove, a couple versions of new mombasa and Zanzibar and I once spent three days looking for the tsc map, it was right under my nose The Silent Cartographer.

I can't find the button that moves the server to CE.... Anyone know where I may do so?

Sorry for the bump.

Some people either hate Custom Edition, doesn't have enough room to install it, or etc. I myself is all of the above. But I'm excuse #1 the most. I hate Custom Edition with all my heart. I think it ruins HaloPC's name, IMO.

Master Kim is right. "Occasionally" is the right word.
