Drop what you're doing and play Halo CE

[STLRamsFan]

As we got a Wartorn Cove 3 server up.
It's HIV's Chicago Server. Can't miss it.

Go go go!

[CodeBrain]

Question is what version?

Ill be using Version checker :awe:

Ill be there, I bet this smiley I will. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b152/ShadowFireMario/awesome_collection/png.png

[Chainsy]

I would but now I have to go to the hospital for a broken foot.

[Limited]

Chains wheres the dedication man that can wait :D

I'd bit busy making some stuff. I can pop in to test it though. Although I may get banned on sight in the HIV server.

[Bastinka]

Duct-tape has always cured broken things for me, I bet it'd work for bones. :downs:

Too burned out to play Halo CE right now.

[Reaper Man]

Sure thing. School's closed due to AID- uh, tropical cyclone. :awesome:

[Con]

I'll play 'till I gotta go

[Party_Grunt]

Would love to play but TS Fay took my internet. Posting at my grandma's house. Maybe Friday for me if I get service restored.

Where you at? I'm in Bradenton, you know, where the storm was supposed to hit.

E: oh shit, 666 posts. =O

[StankBacon]

conscars :( i didnt mean it i swear i looovvvvee you.

:D

eh?

[Party_Grunt]

Where you at? I'm in Bradenton, you know, where the storm was supposed to hit.

E: oh shit, 666 posts. =ONear St. Augustine. Storm was at one time supposed to directly hit here after going out to the Atlantic, but it stalled at Cape Canaveral.
Funny thing is my grandma lives less than 2 miles away and has her internet (why i'm able to be on now). Just glad I didn't lose power, last tropical storm 4 years ago caused us to be without power for about a week.

[klange]

I would have to switch my KVM, download it, install it, and then download the map. I'd also have to find the nVidia DirectX fixes. I just don't have the time for that at the moment.

[StankBacon]

pfft, spoil sport.

[FlyingStone]

Cum bak bacon D:

[SnaFuBAR]

that was fun

[STLRamsFan]

http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/6060/71922081kl8.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

That was fun, definitely gotta do that again. :)

[FlyingStone]

Server went down I guess, damn that was fun.

[Reaper Man]

Fun. I still don't get how I had two shotguns though :confused2: Also, Llama, I hope you enjoyed your trip off the cliff.

[Pooky]

Why do you gays always do these things when I'm not around?

Gosh.

[FlyingStone]

Get on steam kthx

[Party_Grunt]

That was fun, definitely gotta do that again. :)
This is making me a sad grunt.:suicide: Just hope another game night isn't too far away.

[Bastinka]

I'd go for a Ut3 game session, now that would probably spruce up the section. For those who think the games too fast, l2adapt. Really.

[LlamaMaster]

Fun. I still don't get how I had two shotguns though :confused2: Also, Llama, I hope you enjoyed your trip off the cliff.
It's ok, I got to stab you in the back. :haw:

[Bastinka]

Wait how'd you stab him?..

[LlamaMaster]

-_-

[FlyingStone]

He did it with his mind it was quite awesome

[Bastinka]

No, my mind is gone. Last I remember there weren't stabbing items in Halo: CE, well unless you count the custom stuff there isn't.

[Reaper Man]

It's ok, I got to stab you in the back. :haw:
So did I, repeatedly. With my penis.

[Amit]

No, my mind is gone. Last I remember there weren't stabbing items in Halo: CE, well unless you count the custom stuff there isn't.

He means a simple club to the head or back.

[Con]

That was fun, I wish I didn't have to go so early.

[InnerGoat]

Yeah I missed this. Someone should have msg'd on AIM about it...

[Con]

n, forum more

[Reaper Man]

n, lurk moar
Ftfy.

[Limited]

Shame I had to go early, had to get up in the morning, your all lucky I would have destroyed you.../sarky

[SnaFuBAR]

after not having played for a year or so i managed a triple kill.

[FlyingStone]

I just laughed on how bad I did.


By laughing I mean crying.

[STLRamsFan]

Anyone down for a custom gamenight? Got a few old school maps in mind so if you guys are down, I'll get one started later today.

[Saggy]

Depends on what maps and what time EST.

[blind]

Depends on whether my CE still works Rams.
And whether this turns into an app-night/stunts night.

[Party_Grunt]

I got my internet back, so ill join you.

[Jelly]

If this isn't over by the time I install Windows, Drivers and Halo, I'll be there.

[Rentafence]

Wear your hmc tags, lololol

[Party_Grunt]

Do we have a time or map cycle yet?

[STLRamsFan]

Alrighty guys. Sorry for the delay, just came back from an easy 7 mile run.

Here's the deal. Really would like to bring back a couple of maps that were made famous in CE's prime and the HCEL heydays:
www.hivclan.net/maps (http://www.hivclan.net/maps) (look there for your maps)
Camtrack
Bloodislands
New Mombasa Classic
fissurefall
Lost Cove
Wartorn Cove 3
Cliffhanger
Division Falls

7:15ish just to give everyone enough notice. In a bit I'll set up a new thread.

[STLRamsFan]

Got a new thread going so this has served its purpose. Locked.

[STLRamsFan]

After reading this, I figured I'd bring this back and say, we need to do something like this asap. Anyone wanna get something started soon? Maybe on Saturday?

If I got your hopes up of there being a game tonight, sorry. :p

[Dwood]

SC2 gamenights. owait we aren't all in the same regions :saddowns:

[Pooky]

I've uninstalled and reinstalled CE too many times to count now, but if you can put up a map pack I'll do my best to be there. Been missing CE lately.

e: I had to restart Firefox more than I care to think about, but I did manage to get all the maps you posted from last time downloaded as well as a few others. I was practically crying manly tears of nostalgia downloading maps like Haloball and Launch Bay X again. :saddowns:

[n00b1n8R]

posting itt because pooky made me, lets do this~~

PS. halo ball for lyfe~~~

[Lateksi]

There are so many more that I want to add, and probably more that I've forgotten. This game has way too many awesome maps, and I don't expect anyone to download all of these. This is just to give people some ideas for a game night mapcycle. Anyone else interested in making this happen, post what maps you'd like to see (preferably older maps with classic tags) and I'll add them to my big list here.

Red + signs indicate the first set of new maps I added to the list, now including all of Mothergoat's maps for simplicity.

Orange + signs indicate further maps added by me.

Purple + signs are the maps Teekup suggested.

Green + signs are the maps Sever suggested.

Gray + sign indicates the map Cagerrin suggested.

Blue + signs are the maps Timo suggested.

Teal + sign is the map Snaf suggested.

Pink + signs are the maps RyanFlocka suggested.

[il Duce Primo]

Why don't you play newer maps? When ever theres a gamenight where everyone wants to go back and play ce you always play the same old "Classic" maps. Pick new maps that have come out more recently.

[Pooky]

Because the whole point of a nostalgia party is to bring back old memories, and the old maps are the ones that everyone remembers.

[sleepy1212]

so have two lists. I'll host new maps on my server, fuck it...perma rotation if it's a good list

[Pooky]

Someone else can do new maps if they want to, but I won't be doing it. besides, seclusion is relatively new

Added a couple more maps to the list, as well as halomaps links for Anxiety, Immure, and Corrupted since the ones on mothergoat's site are broken (other maps still work fine).

[TeeKup]

Hydration and Excavation by Bryn Casey, same person who made Hydrolysis.

[Pooky]

Added. Good call on Hydration, I remember some good times on that map.

[CrAsHOvErRide]

When the list is done, someone should rar up all those files and upload or at least put them on some FTP.

[Pooky]

Yeah, I've been downloading them from Halomaps one at a time and it's a pain in the ass to say the least.

[Higuy]

Peril? :P

[Cagerrin]

No Pipe Dream or New Mombasa Classic?

[Pooky]

Peril? :P

Not really from the era I was going for, sorry D:


No Pipe Dream or New Mombasa Classic?

NMC is on there, what are you on about?

Good call on pipe dream though, added.

[Rentafence]

Anyone gonna set up a vent or teamspeak server for this?

[staticchanger]

When the list is done, someone should rar up all those files and upload or at least put them on some FTP.


I can do that, I've got a pretty speedy webserver I can put it on too. Give me a final list, and I'll see what I can do.

[Sever]

CQB Oddball (50% Health, Close Quarters Weapon Set, Fast and Nav Point with Ball) on Chiller (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1723) and Corrupted (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1279)
One-Shot Snipers (50% Health, Snipers Weapons Set) on Solitude (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1562) and Paradise Lost (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1191)
Heavy Crazy King (400% Health, Heavy Weapons Weapon Set, Hill Change every :30) on No Remorse (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1759) and Chill Out

Also, everything that Pooky said.

[Cagerrin]

NMC is on there, what are you on about?

Good call on pipe dream though, added.
Somehow I only read the "here's what we came up with" part.

also Pipe Dream oughta be on some utterly ridiculous gametype, like MAG without the weapon restrictions.

[staticchanger]

Give me a bit to download and zip 'em, I'm going to use the 7zip format, I don't use winrar, If for some reason you can't open it I'll post a link to the 7zip software.

[Pooky]

I would say to wait for more suggestions to come in, but this list is getting pretty huge as it is. If people are really going to download every single map on there, now would probably be a good time to cut it off.

That said, I'd still like to see some suggestions as I'm sure there are more golden oldies that I've overlooked.

[staticchanger]

Fine with me, I'll just try to keep a folder up to date, and then when the time comes I'll zip it and upload. Though not super old How about Autumn slay, or Danger Valley for some big team slayer or CTF?

[Pooky]

Autumn Slay is super old, are you kidding? Unfortunately I didn't feel like it played very well, and the performance is pretty terrible for people without monster PCs.

I've never heard of Danger Valley, and it's from 2008, so I don't think it really fits in with the theme of 'Classic' maps.

Thanks for the suggestions, though.

[Timo]

I'm not seeing Needleosity. Should hit up Danger Canyon at least once as well, that map owns. Shotguns no shields on DJW Delta Station is also pretty neat too.

[SnaFuBAR]

island hop

[RyanFlocka]

schwinnzno1

why use updated cmt versions of maps? delta ruins > delta ruined
Frost? ground_base? needleosity? og camtrack?
come on guys.

I have delta station, and considered adding it, but didn't. Doing so now.

Good call on Needleosity, can't believe I forgot that one.

Also considered this, but didn't at first. Will do.

[/SIZE][/SIZE]

I have frost, but forgot to put it on there. Delta ruined isn't a CMT map, and it's better than the original.

Can't seem to find links for the other maps you suggested, except shwinnzno1 which I don't really want to add.

shinier doesn't mean better, and no its not.
fuck this gamenight if schwinnz isn't in it, it is the greatest map ever made.

[Pooky]

Oh no, what are we going to do!

[FRain]

Do we at least have a Wartorn?

Cove 3. Check Pooky's list.

Okay, then we should be good.

[RyanFlocka]

wc3 is much better than schwinn, sorry about your nostalgia.
it is for normal games but everyone always bitches on gamenights because of camping the teles, sorry about your stupidity.

[Rook]

on schwinn everyone complains about having to walk a mile to get to the action, sorry about your stupidity. :)

[Siliconmaster]

Precipice. :downs:

Owait. Still have to finish it. Funny how that works.

[tythespy]

Is someone gonna make me a .rar for this?

[Pooky]

staticchanger said he was going to be making a .7z of the map list we came up with, so you should be fine there.

I don't know what we're going to do about the server, I was kind of hoping that Rams would have got back to us by now with that information.

[CodeBrain]

I pm'd him yesterday asking about the server info (more like ftp info, since I had it before) and he hasn't responded to it yet.

[staticchanger]

Is someone gonna make me a .rar for this?
Ready when you guys are, I'll 7z it up and put it on my server. When we gonna do this?

[rossmum]

eta this

someone steam me i barely check ~this gay forum~ anymore

[n00b1n8R]

You heard it first guys, ross is too cool to come to our gamenight. Nobody invite him! :parrot:

[CrAsHOvErRide]

You heard it first guys, ross is too cool to come to our gamenight. Nobody invite him! :parrot:
though he is right about the part being gay +rep xD

Can somebody finally upload this god damn map pack?

[staticchanger]

though he is right about the part being gay +rep xD

Can somebody finally upload this god damn map pack?

Is the list final? If it is I'll go ahead and upload it, which will take some time ~ hour or two

[Pooky]

Is the list final? If it is I'll go ahead and upload it, which will take some time ~ hour or two

I would consider it done at this point, no one's posted any new suggestions in a while.

[staticchanger]

OK great, I'm compressing it now. BTW LZMA compression owns!! With solid compression I think I'm going to get all fifty-six map files (1.40GB) to well under 300MB. I'll post a link and a mirror in a little bit, as my server seemed to be having problems, it finishes some large downloads prematurely in IE mainly .zip files. If I use a download manager it works fine. .7z files seem to work fine though. I'll put up a MD5 sum too just in case.

Here's the first linkhttp://staticchanger.com/downloads/maps.7z the MD5 is A9B1A165422409EBFA407EFF49A1EFB4 I don't know why, but apache seems to be terminating downloads early, using a download manager seems to fix the problem. I'm sending in a support ticket to try and get it fixed. Nvm It's fixed.

Here it is in torrent form if anyone cares about that http://staticchanger.com/downloads/modacitymappack.torrent

[CrAsHOvErRide]

7z already has CRC afaik.

[RyanFlocka]

schwinnz.

[staticchanger]

Alright people the link above is fixed, I have uploaded all the maps to my dedicated server, when we gonna do this?

[ghk]

is it a 16 person dedi static? if so just set a time and date and see if anyone shows up

[STLRamsFan]

I'm going to see about talking to someone about donating a server. Been a little caught up with things so sorry about the delay. We'll have this thing going soon.

[sleepy1212]

I just pulled my test maps off my server and replaced them with some others:


z_sanctuary
no remorse
dichotomy
needleosity
ganymede_swing
wizz_test
bune
arida
immure
ancient_sanctuary
tactics
portent
h2_zanzibar
hydro_generators
solitude
cmt_tensity
orion_final
IG-WYS_beta


we're having some pretty regular clan nights probably on this list through this weekend but afterwards I could change it. (I have to make and host map packs to get the members the right maps, 3 days isn't long enough to get everyone situated)

so yeah, I'll donate just give me a list and time to set it up.

[TeeKup]

I'd like to play these, I hate going into random pubs now-a-days. I was in realworld and small world servers last night and it was pretty bad.
