HALO CE ANNOUNCEMENT

[STLRamsFan]

Alright guys and gals. As you all know, I purchased a 16 player server awhile back for a Reunion for $11.95. Recently, I renewed for another month (which is where we are now). After seeing how the Birthday Bash was a success (with a few bloopers here and there, I gave it some thinking about whether or not I should purchase another month. I then came to this, why not for the summer? In fact, why not host a weekly weekend bash games?

That's right, coming to you this summer (Starting weekend of June 12th and offically ending August 30th), the Bunghole will be hosting weekly weekend bash games. This means, we'll be having a gamenight each weekend. While we'll leave it up to you (see the poll) regarding which days, I was thinking of two days tops. Since having it three times a weekend might get rather old and plus some of us actually have lives :downs:.

What types of maps will be played? Any type of maps, with the exception of the same ol' Coldsnap and Bloodgulch crap everyone can play anytime... Each Monday, a list of maps will posted in a poll that'll last until each Thursday. The top ten maps that are voted the most will be played. Suggesting maps is a good idea since it'll get your idea out there and maybe others will agree with you. The only rules I have regarding the maps are simply this: 1. It must be considered worthy by others. 2. It cannot affect the gametype of the maps following it (see hugeass with driver ejection).

And understanding that some maps are underplayed and unknown to some, there will be 5 maps that will randomly picked. This is so we can get some of those underplayed maps out there and maybe even become a fan favorite for the summer.

As for rec0, I'm leaning towards keeping it off for the most part during these nights since they cause so much controversy. If stunts are planned, then rec0 might be turned on for that occasion but admins will be strictly warned not to use rec0 unless it is completely necessary (/veh is not one of them Sel. ;)

As for your admins, they'll be announced soon. I'm planning on having around 5-6 admins. Figured that number should be fine since not all of them are going to be on forever...

Well, if you have any comments or suggestions, please post away. Anything helps out.

Questions (Optional):

- What days? (See poll)

- How many maps do you prefer?

- Does 7:00pm eastern work for you? If not, what other time do you prefer?

- rec0 on or off and why?

- Are there any custom gametypes that you wish to see? Explain.

- One underplayed map that you are dying to see this summer.

Oh and is that all I have to offer? Nonsense:

*With excitement* First!

Oh, and I'd like to see Metroid Online more often.

[ultama121]

Hells yeah!

[supersniper]

YEAH dude i'm excited.

I say all summer, usually at night because during the day people have jobs, friends, sleeping idk whatever but probably starting at 7 and ending at around 12ish.

[Inferno]

Next Friday a beta with all 9 (excluding vertigo) IMP maps? Since I didn't get to play my own maps during this one... Due to school....

Lawl'n at poll.

Didn't have anything planned next week so it's straight.

[Cortexian]

Do you get your 16 player for $11.95 all the time? That's p gay since I pay $23.95. :saddowns:

[Sel]

rec0 on.

No one really abuses it anymore, and it really lightens up c3ll with /veh when the swordfighting gets tedious.

But sure, go for it. It's really nice having a server that's always available for testing maps, and rec0 is a big part of that, it just removes a lot of headaches for debugging.

Yea, started out with $11.95 and been like that way ever since. It's pretty sweet.

[Sel]

24/7 yoyorast

tbh

[NuggetWarmer]

God no, there's already a bunch. If it was any type of Yoyorast, it'd be V2, but I dunno if Yoyo and Inferno would want it on the server.

[Sel]

Halo Custom Edition League 2009

Uhh, we didn't even finish 08-09 and og was doing good. :|

[supersniper]

it was great until... the DDOS attack.

[blind]

Rams, rcon when I get my new pc :)?

[Stormwing]

- How many maps do you prefer?
load as many as possible, have a 10-15 per-day maplist, but allow admins + players to deviate as they wish
- Does 7:00pm eastern work for you? If not, what other time do you prefer?
Its fine, except i'm usually on later so i hope they keep going
- rec0 on or off and why?
don't care
- Are there any custom gametypes that you wish to see? Explain.
only for certain maps

also, rcon plz :D

[Sabre]

Firin' mah splazor. (Excitement)

I'd like moar BMT Coagulation.

[sevlag]

Next Friday a beta with all 9 (excluding vertigo) IMP maps? Since I didn't get to play my own maps during this one... Due to school....

Lawl'n at poll.i could get on this week and halp test :D
i checked with my relative and i can get on the laptop...yay

[Rescudo]

7pm Eastern is midnight for me, so I'll only be showing up occasionally, but if most people are fine with that time, I can always stay up a bit longer in the weekends. ;)

[blind]

In the reals I think rec0 should be off, rcon given to.. Me (i won't abuse it promise <3), Stormmmm, Arteen, p00 bear, etc. :p:p:p:p:p

[blind]

2. It cannot affect the gametype of the maps following it (see hugeass with driver ejection).

Sneak fucks with ejection too, but its :cool:

[Rosco]

If I have rcon, music guns for everyone :haw:

But I 'am rec0' so if I am on I have it anyway :downs:

[Arteen]

1. It must be considered worthy by others. 2. It cannot affect the gametype of the maps following it (see hugeass with driver ejection).
How about "3. Doesn't cause players to exception 3 times in one match"? :(


And understanding that some maps are underplayed and unknown to some, there will be 5 maps that will randomly picked. This is so we can get some of those underplayed maps out there and maybe even become a fan favorite for the summer.
Good rule. If we play a map one week, it won't be on the following week, right?



- Are there any custom gametypes that you wish to see? Explain.

Let's at least try to get good gametypes for the maps. KotH on Hydrolisis does not work. Too many of the gametypes were 12-person FFAs on tiny maps, too. We also need a banshee-less version CTF for NMC. Also, Race on Tension.



- One underplayed map that you are dying to see this summer.

All of my maps, but specifically Erosion (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1900), Twist beta (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=2987), Augerer (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=3575), and Tempo (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=3603), since I made them but never played them. I enjoyed playing Vestige last night because it was my first (and last?) time actually playing it.


24/7 Arteen Maps tbh
I agree with this post.

[Reaper Man]

Sounds awesome. Looks like I'll be waking up early to play again (whoever heard of such a thing during the summer holidays??!?)

[Sel]

We also need a banshee-less version CTF for NMC.

NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO

please disregard what arteen said (banshees on NMC are awesome)

Vestige
Sympathy
Grove

For this to work though, we need people from here to play on there regularly, otherwise no one will ever be in the server :x

[Sel]

http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=822

Just because it has 40,000 more downloads than the classic version, so it's a whole lot more likely to get played.

[Sel]

Wait, I have an idea, how about we reupload a bunch of good maps, and put cmt_ before the name.

They're guaranteed to be played!

[Higuy]

Duh, cmt just shows how the shittest map can become the best - with just a name change!

[STLRamsFan]

Just making sure everyone keeps in mind that in two weeks, the Summer games will begin. Gotta love Summer.

If I see oblivion in the rotation, I'll be happy.
