Modacity Night Before Christmas Game Night?

[Ki11a_FTW]

I was just playing Halo CE, and I remembered all the game nights we used to have. Especially the one year when CMT released their MP map. Good fucking times. We need to have another Christmas one! I can't host a Dedi, but I know modacity has a few Servers on Halo CE as it is so maybe we can just change one of them? Anyway I'll list some personal favorite maps.

Zanzibar Classic
http://hce.halomaps.org/images/files/lg/ACF1AC.jpg
A classic map developed by the classic Halo 2 CE team.

No Remorse
http://hce.halomaps.org/images/users/lg/6FD21032-676C-4630-801C2A6BBFE5CB2D.JPG
Another great map, developed by the Halo 2 CE team.

New Mombasa Classic
http://hce.halomaps.org/images/users/lg/E09AB966-1108-4E94-A708FB9D750EDF38.JPG
Yet another map that will go down in history for Halo CE.

Wartorn Cove (3)
http://hce.halomaps.org/images/users/lg/CED72CC0-2D22-4825-B39673B6EB3C91D6.JPG
A great map that goes back to the very first days of Halo CE.

Mystic
http://hce.halomaps.org/images/users/lg/6C9022A3-2BD7-4C5B-A5706EFC2A8C3397.JPG
Developed by the well-known Jahrain, this map is breath-taking to this day.

Portent
http://hce.halomaps.org/images/users/lg/D2B6711C-CD6C-4AD7-BC4E1B7C2EC4FC6F.JPG
A gorgeous well-planned out forerunner map. Need I say more?

Wet Dunes
http://hce.halomaps.org/images/users/lg/CD389332-0ACB-4948-8C3D19D8EEAC8A9D.JPG
A water-filled tropical island. An underwater passage way is an alternate route for flag capturing.

Mudslide Final


http://hce.halomaps.org/images/users/lg/1F69322E-C908-4A3D-84C797AC643FCEA4.JPG
Another Oldschool map. A Great Classic here.

Thank you:) I hope we can do this and have a fun game night like the good old days!
Also, if someone want's to host a team speak server or something that'd be cool too!

Any map requests are also accepted:) I'm not the host, so yeah.

[Con]

Might I suggest swapping out headlong for mudslide?

[Ki11a_FTW]

Done. It's been so long I have trouble remembering the good ones:\

[Lateksi]

I'm in! We don't need more maps than those 8 IMO.

[Ki11a_FTW]

Updated.

[Higuy]

I'm down... gotta reinstall Halo CE since I reinstalled Windows...

Also, may I suggest some maps...?

[sanni]

You need to have Casualty Isle in the cycle =)
3121

[Masterz1337]

replace wartorn3 with snow torn? and I'll be there.

[InnerGoat]

do w4rtorn or whatever it was.



haha.

[Ki11a_FTW]

I actually had a lot of fun on w4rtorn lol. Also, i had launch bay x, siege, casualty isle and a few others up before but i figured it was to much.

[PlasbianX]

I totally want in on this.

[Lateksi]

W4rtorn was fun cause it had the awesome troop hogs.

[EX12693]

I want in on this as well.

[Arteen]

W4rtorn had those awesome rocket hogs as well...

oh wait

[Higuy]

the wartorn posted in op is the best

k

[Disaster]

I will be there. (Hopefully)

[arbiter901]

I'm in on this. (will be nice to play some ce after some years)

[Cortexian]

Edit: Nevermind~

[Ki11a_FTW]

W4rtorn had those awesome rocket hogs as well...

oh wait
you in arteen?
Updated OP. We still need a host:(

[Cortexian]

Determine gametypes, if custom ones are required, let me know.

I can hijack the Modacity Immure server for a day, I'm sure jcap won't mind.

[Ki11a_FTW]

Heres what I'm thinking

Zanzibar Classic: 16 players Team Slayer (30 minutes or 100 kills)
No Remorse: 16 players Team KOTH (30 minutes) (5 minutes to win)
New Mombasa Classic: 16 players CTF (1 hour) (3 captures to win)
Wartorn Cove 3: 16 players CTF (1 hour) (5 captures to win)
Mystic: 16 players CTF (30 minutes) (3 captures to win)
Portent: 16 players CTF (1 hour) (5 captures to win)
Wet Dunes: 16 players CTF (30 minutes) (3 captures to win)
Mudslide: 16 players CTF (1 hour) (3 captures win)

ALTERNATIVE OLDSCHOOL MAPS:

Siege: 16 players CTF (30 minutes) (3 captures win)
Snowcast: 16 players Team Slayer (30 minutes or 50 kills)
Launch Bay X: 16 players CTF (30 minutes) (3 captures win)
Casualty Isle: 16 players CTF (30 minutes) (3 captures win)


Mystic, Portent, Casualty Isle and NMC could have a Team RACE alternative gametype (3 laps, 30 minutes)

[Cortexian]

I would prefer to play Cliffhanger over Mystic or Wet Dunes. Cliffhanger has done really well in past game nights.

[n00b1n8R]

replace wartorn3 with snow torn? and I'll be there.
nobody gaf nerd

[Arteen]

To be honest, I've never been a fan of Mystic, Portent, or Mudslide (and never played Wet Dunes). They're pretty maps, but not particularly fun. I'd much prefer other classic maps like Cliffhanger, Nightcamp, Casualty Gorge, Fissure Fall, High Low, Lost Cove, Needleosity.

Alt suggestion:
1. schwinnzno1_alpha01a
2. Wartorn Cove
3. Wartorn Cove 2
4. Wartorn Cove 3
5. Wartorn Cove 4
6. Snowtorn Cove
7. Wartorn Cove Strider Vega Core Edition

8. Green Canyon (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=525)

[DarkHalo003]

Sign me up! I hope I remember. Is that 10PM EST (I know GMT can be ambiguous depending on the user) or PST?

You should also add in a CMT map just to add some non-classic variety. I' mso glad you put in Portent, No Remorse, and Mystic.

[Higuy]

I AGREE WITH THIS POST

[mech]

I plae haloe todae :downs:

[Cortexian]

OK so apparently I don't have the ability to upload via FTP to the servers???

jcap fix your shit!!

[Cortexian]

jcap fixed his shit.

maps uploaded.

killa_ftw, you should totally, like, make the gametypes so that I can upload those too. I'm totally not lazy or anything but the last time I made the gametypes for a gamenight everyone yelled at me for doing it wrong. That will probably still happen, but do it anyway.

[Con]

It would also be nice to have some variety. We play Cliffhanger every time. I think Mystic is too big of a map, though. Also, we don't even have any small maps. Chiller, anyone?

[Ki11a_FTW]

I made the gametypes, how do you want me to transfer them?

[Rosco]

Hi,

checking in

put sapp on to ensure no lead! <3

[Cortexian]

Ki11a_FTW, zip them up and upload them to mediafire or somewhere so I can download and upload to the actual server.

Feel free to add me on Steam for quick contact: lancer852

[Rosco]

also list the maps here for quick d/l, sorry but halomaps is not efficient for quickness.. haha

rather enthusiastic about a possible last heave ho with recognisable faces

oh and

This.

Also, gonna PM them to you in a sec freelancer.

E: Should we put a password on the server to prevent those spanish fucks?

[Con]

implying they play good custom maps if any

[Rosco]

implying they play good custom maps if any

I don't see the need to - I only ever see them on extinction/hugeass/immure/yoyorast/cmtsnowgrove

not implying the last three are bad but they're not mentioned in this game night lol

[Masterz1337]

So where are the maps, when are we playing?

[Con]

if you don't already have every map mentioned in this thread then you're a scrub

[Cortexian]

So jcap sucks at FTP permissions apparently.

He gave me write access to the maps and config, but not gametypes.

Server is at the point where I can just upload the gametypes and click "start server" though. So once he fixes that the server will be online.

Here are the maps:

if you don't already have every map mentioned in this thread then you're a scrub

[Rosco]

which modacity server is being utilised?

e: didn't read

but still, i assume name will contain hints at a game night :downs:

[sanni]

The event starts in 2hours right? Just to make sure I don't get confused with the time zones xD

[Con]

yeah, 30 min now

[Lateksi]

Oh mother of god's dog. I need to sleep. But maybe i'll see you if you play too much :)

[Cortexian]

Haven't heard back from jcap about that FTP issue yet...

Blame jcap he grinched your server!!

Anyway, server will be named "Modacity - GAMENIGHT" and show on the 1.00 server list I believe... IP address will be: 173.61.31.35:2005 so you can direct connect.

[Arteen]

gj Christmas is ruined

[Con]

All I get is retrying... for that IP, and it's not in the list either.

[Ki11a_FTW]

So is it up?

[mech]

gj Christmas is ruined

:smith: can't connect to that IP

[Disaster]

What kind of game-night is this?

[Con]

WHERE IS HALO??

[Cortexian]

OK it's up!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD GAME NIGHT!

[Arteen]

At least put it on an all-Wartorn rotation or something.

[Cortexian]

OK so apparently the FTP isn't even linked to the CE server. The init changes I've made took no effect so it's obviously not linked together properly at all.

jcaps shit is extremely borked.

[Cortexian]

I said screw it, in order to get a server up without jcaps weird server who-ha...

LancersEdge.net NoLag is now running this game night!
184.64.54.104:2308 (http://osvex.com/halostatus/#s=184.64.54.104:2308)

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD GAME NIGHT!

[Con]

gg all who joined

[Ki11a_FTW]

/gamenight

[Arteen]

Fun stuff

[Ki11a_FTW]

Now we need to plan ahead for new years;)

[EX12693]

Indeed. Was late due to unexpected plans but this was fun. 9/10 would play again.

[Ki11a_FTW]

Anyone want to contribute a map list for New years? I know Launch Bay X and Siege need to be in there.

[Con]

Here's my map cycle suggestion for new years:

Cliffhanger CTF
Launch Bay X TS
Chiller FFA
Castle 2 Castle CTF
Needleosity FFA
C3LL FFA
Games should be limited to ~25 minutes or so.

Also, it shouldn't actually be on new years because most people have plans then.

[Ki11a_FTW]

I think we forgot about this one:

http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/9550/haloce2012122502524847.jpg

[Rosco]

ended up being too late for me.. uk letting me down >:(

[sanni]

For the next event we should make two alternative mapcycles depending on server population. It seemed that yesterday we mainly played big 8v8 maps when we only were about 6 people. Rather would have 3v3'ed on e.g. tempo than the 3v3 on Mystic. :)

[Con]

Yeah, the maps should generally get smaller over the course of the gamenight.

[Cortexian]

Agreed.

[EX12693]

And hopefully I won't be late this time.

[Cortexian]

Server started about 30 minutes late anyway, since jcaps system was completely fubar.

[Higuy]

I really wanted to come but it turned out I had stuff to do. Hopefully I can make the next one.

[PlasbianX]

I like I started drinking and forgot >.>

[DarkHalo003]

I got home at 11PM and was pretty drained. Saw the server got up 30 minutes prior. Wanted to play LoL for a bit. Didn't want to deal with Modacity :dramabomb: in these games. :ugh:

[Lateksi]

Can we do gamenight on a normal day? Most people were doing something else than playing computer games on Christmas. I guess that's how it's going to be for new years game night too...

[EX12693]

How about Friday or Saturday?

[Ki11a_FTW]

Yeah i cant do new years. Friday or Sat would be good.
