HCEL Gamenight: Lets get this party started

[STLRamsFan]

Well guys it's been awhile since we last had a gamenight on the HCEL Server. Since all we have been playing lately has been mostly bungie maps and Yoyorast, we felt that hosting a gamenight featuring some of the older maps would please some oldies. Here are the following maps:

Cliffhanger (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=209), Teletubbies (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=2002), helix_canyon (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1854), , wtc3 (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=414) (15 cap?), c3ll (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=629), H2 Coag (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1095), Camtrack (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=208), and New Mombasa Classic (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=341).

Maybe some stunts sometime after the night but that'll all depend on the mood of the players.

We encourage any past players to return for the night for some fun. Definitely for NMC as that would bring back some memories. :)

Pass: smar

Admin note: I am currently redoing the admin list due to recent complaints in the last several hours. If you have admin, please do NOT abuse it. Fair warning. /hitler, /veh, ect. If the game is fine, do not ruin it. Thanks.

[Boss™]

About effin time.

[STLRamsFan]

As for the time, we are planning on hosting it this Friday at 6pm est.

[Kiwibird]

Ah, I will definitely be there. I miss the old days when I first got into Halo CE when all these old maps were coming out. Hopefully this will bring back some memories.

[Apoc4lypse]

...Helix_Canyon who in the world would be caught dead playing that map /sarcasm

:XD:

[STLRamsFan]

One map I just thought of was Delta Ruins, anyone remember that map? That map was real fun for oddball.

[Cortexian]

I remember back when Nitrosoxide and I were playing with our awesome new ATI X800's on NMC, those were the good days.

[p0lar_bear]

I refuse to play H2 Coag. Bugged all to hell and ugly as sin. :gonk:

[Archon23]

Ew H2 Coag, I'll be there but Ew.

[ODX]

I refuse to play H2 Coag. Bugged all to hell and ugly as sin. :gonk:
:XD: Bad you! I haven't seen anyone go on top of the map in ages! Other than that, it's a great map, bite your tongue![/sarcasm] Selentic was complaining he wants to play Grove_Final, Arteen's maps are always great. I have yet to play an oddball game on Delta_Ruins...am I missing out on much?

[Love De Lux]

How about putting a mapcycle with only this kind of map. :)

[p0lar_bear]

Then nobody will play on the server because it's not coldsnap or CMT's maps.

[FRain]

I'd be there if my Halo would work :smith:

[Masterz1337]

I refuse to play H2 Coag. Bugged all to hell and ugly as sin. :gonk:
IAWTP. If you had the ol dH2CE gametypes it was designed to work with then maybe.

Edit: What about Zanzibar Classic?

[Boss™]

Rams wanted H2 Coag. :P
Zanz. Classic could be fun.

[TeeKup]

I wish I could come. :smith:

[kmg0]

Sweet, I'll try to attend!

[Syuusuke]

Sure thing bob.

[STLRamsFan]

Rams wanted H2 Coag. :P
Zanz. Classic could be fun.

Yea, and I might have to take it off considering the reception it's getting :P
And plus I'll have to test it and see how it functions with the app...
As for the gametypes Masters, believe it or not I actually still have them on my hard drive.

[Corndogman]

I wish I could cum. :smith:

well you might wanna check with your doctor about that:(

[Sel]

pppppppppoooooooooooorrrrtttteeennnntttttt.

[Xetsuei]

Needs moar snowtorn.

[ODX]

Still needs moar Portent....Or Autumn Slay (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=380) :eyesroll:

[Con]

PORTENT OR DIE

[LlamaMaster]

Xetsuei™;223471']Needs moar snowtorn.

[Sel]

PORTENT OR DIE

.

[Verdugo]

This should be fun :D

I'll attend.

[Sel]

This too.

http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1907

[Syuusuke]

What if more than 16 players decide to join.

I don't like first come first serve basis =/

[Jay2645]

Well, you refresh until someone leaves.

I just go play another server.

[ODX]

This too.

http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1907
Gawd, that's like, the best freaking forerunner structure evar.

[Botolf]

I can probably find the time to come.


And add Portent!

[STLRamsFan]

And add Portent!

Since so many people asked for it, done.

[Boss™]

Snowtorn was decided against since the cmt one is on most of the servers.

Edit: Rams beat me to it.

[STLRamsFan]

Plus, I felt that it wouldn't make sense to have two maps from the Wartorn series. Also, WTC3 hasn't seen a full game in quite some time, and felt that we should have a full game in there.

[Love De Lux]

Then nobody will play on the server because it's not coldsnap or CMT's maps.

I don't care <:mad:>

Nah, it's just kinda hard to me to get on the computer when it's night in the USA, so I rarely play those maps. <:mad:>

[Botolf]

Can you update the mapslist, Rams? I need to redownload most of these maps :)

[Sel]

Since so many people asked for it, done.

I love you.

[LlamaMaster]

Can we play the forgotten-but-awesome mothergoat maps? I remember good times on anxiety. Corrupted was awesome too. (Immure was killed by the wasp)

Also:

No Remorse
Hydrolysis
Haloball
Siege
Mystic
Hypothermia
New Maboosa
Launch Bay X
Delta Ruined
Quagmire
Helix Canyon

Heh? I'd be a happy panda.

[Syuusuke]

New Maboosa?

[TheElf]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO fun stuffs............... *thoughts of the bunghole* We need a revival in CE.

[NullZero]

Might come if I can make 11 PM GMT :(

[STLRamsFan]

If anyone has anymore suggestions or better yet, gametype donations post away. Otherwise, 4:30 or 5:00 I'll post maps (mapcycle won't be posted just to keep you guys guessing ;)).

[t3h m00kz]

If we don't have the maps in the cycle though...

How about Olympus Mons, No_Remorse and Covenant? I never got to play OM, but it looked incredible, and Covenant was just fucking pretty. (and that's coming from someone who cares so much more about gameplay and balance than graphics)

[Sever]

If you want great gameplay, we should play Majestic (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1296) and MASK (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1475).

[STLRamsFan]

If we don't have the maps in the cycle though...


Oh I'm posting the maplist just not the order they are being played in. You know what I'm saying?

[Boss™]

Um. Teamspeak wise. All Admins should be in the teamspeak for easy communication, but we are allowing everyone in the server to join because the teamspeak is only set for 16 players.
If you plan on joining the server, you can always pop in the teamspeak.

[Boss™]

Rams, it would kinda be good if you get on xfire right now.


Edit:Rams where are you? I can't set the gametypes since I don't know them, and I don't have ftp. Get on now.

OSHI- Portent isn't added to the server.......

[STLRamsFan]

Yea sorry about the hold up, had to deal with some issues.. :X

[STLRamsFan]

Server restarted, lets get this party started.

[Kiwibird]

On my way.

[Sel]

OSHI- Portent isn't added to the server.......

:eek:

[Botolf]

Oh damn, forgot about this, was doing Socials :p

[Kiwibird]

Boy that was fun while it lasted.

Also,

And does anyone remember what Hecktic said his name was on the forum? I forget. All I know is that it was capitalized every other letter.

[Syuusuke]

The dad was the real bastard whom we all hate.
If you need to ask, he's some guy who comes into this server whenever mods around asking "mod mod mod, speed me, 10x, omg turn of fall dmg" "omg im serious mod turn it off, speed me" demanding all this little shit from him.

Sure I demand them too, but I actually do get them...sometimes =/

Anyway some little pics.
This was the first game on Cliffhanger:

CROTCHSHOTGUN someone suggested me to reposition the shotgun here:

OH CHIEF you make me HAPPY when I see you in blue:

[LlamaMaster]

EPIC FAIL. I couldn't make it, grounded. :(

[Con]

The few games I came to were fun, good times :)

(lawl, whored the banshee in nmc)

[STLRamsFan]

Glad to see you all had fun. I was out at a friend's house for a movie night. Definitely have to do this again sometime around the sametime.

[NullZero]

Yup, good night last night. Next time Rams, make it one hour earlier ;), so us europeans stand a better chance of staying through most of the games :)

[Disaster]

Who agrees that Rams should keep this server up. The maps played on the server aren't played enough and I want to play them. Keep it up plzkthx.

[Sel]

Just portent.

[Love De Lux]

Who agrees that Rams should keep this server up. The maps played on the server aren't played enough and I want to play them. Keep it up plzkthx.

Yeah please, keep this server with good maps :(

[LlamaMaster]

It should stay up, but we should all still have meeting times. If we don't, it'll just go unplayed.

[Boss™]

Well, Rams nor I have yet to touch the mapcycle (I think), so it will stay up unless one of the admins touch it. But it is in the init so it will keep restarting with that mapcycle.
I'll probably keep it running but playing those maps alone can get very boring. D:

[Disaster]

True, so you should edit them to have some different maps every now and then.

[STLRamsFan]

The reason I have never touched the mapcycle is due to the fact that no one plays the server whenever I change it up a bit... One custom map that's not coldsnap, Yoyorast, or a CMT map is enough for everyone that's new (or clueless about how to get a custom map working..) or whatever to leave. Shame that the daily message has NEVER been fixed. It would have been great to see "Welcome to Halo Custom Edition, custom maps are available at halomaps.org" or something like that.

[Boss™]

If it's ok with Rams, I was thinking about making a new mapcycle, maybe every other week, with custom maps, and make a thread saying which maps are in it.
I mean, people should join if they want to have a little fun from the past. But I will only do this if the server turns into a pub a few times.

[stankpot]

it will never be a pub if you put custom maps on it tbh.

[Syuusuke]

Unless its CMT_snow_grove or coldsnap (are coldsnap servers still abundant?)

[Con]

mostly grove

[Sel]

Im happy with snow grove, and regular grove. :o

[Ignite]

My graphics card is fried right now but I'm considering getting a new, cheap one just for this. This game was the bomb. I miss it. How often do these go down?

[Sel]

My graphics card is fried right now but I'm considering getting a new, cheap one just for this. This game was the bomb. I miss it. How often do these go down?

Im guessing because rams is so downright awesome, these will happen every week.

If hes feeling awesome :3

[Ignite]

Yes. We'll finally have 16 player games in the good maps. I desire for a Sniper Canyon Redeux 16 player match. It's a bloody huge map but sooo ill and I never got to play it with more than 4 people... I bet 16 would be freaking sick.

[Con]

A party every Friday night would be sweet

[STLRamsFan]

A party every Friday night would be sweet

If you're feeling it then sure. Although I'm working on Friday and won't be able to make it. :(

[Sever]

My friends and I have been playing the map Mask recently, and are LOVING IT. I mean we won't even bother to play any other maps whenever the guy who can host is on. The fact that the random Energy Sword (which can oddly and quite comically kill players in turrets and vehicles) will always spawn, no matter what the weapons set, adds a bit more fun to the map. We've played FFA Slayer, Shotgun CTF, Sniper Assault, Oddball, and many other variations therein, and have yet to be bored with the map and its intricate, yet logical and flowing layout.

So, to sum it up, everyone should download Mask (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1475), take about 15-30 minutes and look around the map, and if you like it, demand that it be played on the HCEL server.

[Con]

If you're feeling it then sure. Although I'm working on Friday and won't be able to make it. :(
I do volunteering on friday nights sometimes too, but I can still make it I think. If anyone else has stuff going on each friday, maybe we could move it to the weekend or something?

[Jay2645]

Agreed. The weekends would be best for me, too. Every Saturday?

[STLRamsFan]

Yea I wouldn't mind going that actually, so Saturday it is this week. As for Mask, I like that map. It was real fun the last few times I played it. So consider that one in. Anyone object having any of the H2CE maps in there? Just to bring back some old times. ;)

[Kiwibird]

Aww, darn. I can't make it Saturday. I've got to spotlight for a play. Maybe next time.

[LlamaMaster]

Can we play the forgotten-but-awesome mothergoat maps? I remember good times on anxiety. Corrupted was awesome too. (Immure was killed by the wasp)

Also:

No Remorse
Hydrolysis
Haloball
Siege
Mystic
Hypothermia
Launch Bay X
Delta Ruined
Quagmire

Heh? I'd be a happy panda.Yes? No? Maybe a few?

[Sever]

Immure with only the Warthogs spawning for CTF works well, along with no-vehicle 1SK (50&#37;HP, no shields) Team Snipers on Solitude, and FFA Heavy Weapons Moving Koth (150%HP, shielded) on Corrupted AND No_Remorse is quite fun. Assault on Siege has been known to work. FFA Slayer on Delta_Ruined is quite hectic (and thus VERY enjoyable).

[LlamaMaster]

I made a quick non-dedi server for whatever map if anybody wants to come.

Edit: Not any more.

[StankBacon]

did this happen already?

i need to fix my pc :'(

[STLRamsFan]

We're doing another one on Saturday so get it fixed fool. ;)

[Sel]

I made a quick non-dedi server for whatever map if anybody wants to come.

Edit: Not any more.

I came, and it was laggy, so I left :downs:

[LlamaMaster]

I came, and it was laggy, so I left :downs:
Nobody else complained. :smithicide:

[STLRamsFan]

Ok guys here's the deal:

Mask
Zanzi (updated)
Delta Ruins
Grove Final
STC
prodigy
quagmire
anixety
corrupted

Currently uploading a couple maps, so hang tight for the moment

[Sever]

Great! All I need is whichever version of Zanzibar, and I'm good to go!

[STLRamsFan]

Just look for Halo 2 Zanzibar updated.

[STLRamsFan]

Restarting, so lets get this party started!

[LlamaMaster]

I'll be there as soon as I finish downloading the maps. >.<

[Sever]

So, where is the server now...?

e: nvm - Delta Ruins not Delta Ruined

[LlamaMaster]

I can't join anymore for some reason.

[LlamaMaster]

How come hardly anybody came? Did everybody forget or something?

[Sel]

Should have a new topic each time, I didnt know there was a new one until you told me, also, lulz.

http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l42/selentic/rams.jpg

[Sever]

It sucked, with all the "big team battle" maps, and no big teams. Also, all those extra /wtftext commands kinda ruined it. I went and had my own game night with my friends - we played short-range weapons oddball on Mask (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1475) and 400&#37; hp heavy weapons crazy king on No Remorse (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1759). Next we'll be adding 1-shot-kill snipers on Solitude (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1562), and 400% hp heavy weapons crazy king on Corrupted (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1279). PM me if you want to join us - we play anywhere from 5-10 PM EST on weekdays, and from mid-day on on the weekends, and are always open to map and gametype suggestions.

[STLRamsFan]

Eh, at least myself, Sel, and Mod were able to chill and mess around on Zanzi and Mask. Shame no one else (apart from a few no bodies) was able to make it.

[Disaster]

I was going to come but I couldn't find the game night server.

Hey Rams, Just a suggestion. How bout having another one tonight since not alot of people could make it lastnight.

If not, Im going to have a server up with mainly NMC for masterz, portent,mask,cliffhanger,and maybe a few others if anybody wants to come around 5.

[LlamaMaster]

Poor planning was probably what killed it. For each game night you should have a new thread, and the date and time set in stone. With this one you didn't even have a time, just a "k servers up".

[Disaster]

Hey guys the server for my"gameday is up because its sunday. I have most of mah friends coming if any of you want to come. The map playlist is
