Already played Co-op Leg from beginning thru Floodgate with Levi and Jr., on Friday. Played solo some of Sat, Sun evenings, unwinding and getting some chops back.
Meat life is tight, but there should be some room.

Books just realized this afternoon I was back, too, likely accesing from Windows Live.

So, nearly two weeks later, not. Guess that's a negatory, Houston.

You haven't been on since before I got my Box back... are you no longer up for it?
I'm thinking lately that if things don't pick up, I'll just let XBL lapse come December. That's $50 I can find another use for fer sure. And if GoW 2 is all that, I probably have a couple one month cards I can redeem. I doubt I'll ever own many 360 games; I'm just not a console guy.

Re: Clan [MA] Halo Division...fall in!
Otay... things are looking guardedly better on the money front, so I guess I'm likely to renew later. Still looking, tho, for certain H3 action- nothing against a little MP with the right folks, but looking more to the Social BTB/ Co-op kinda dealie.
Also, with MA3 reconstituting like 05-032 (
), some good old-fashioned Halo PC and even H2V should be nice once it [s]wins[/s] gets back online, along with my local Game Node.
(Upgrade action soonish?.. look out, Cleveland
).

Re: Clan [MA] Halo Division...fall in!
Well, I was just going to have a quick session on Tsavo Highway, Rally Alpha when Digi invited me to a game. Got a wicked fun gametype on Sandtrap; Demo Derby with guns- personal weaps just some equipment, 'nades and plasma pistols to augment melee, plus the chainguns on vehicles and mounted. Much fun was had. And a sweet, sweet rocket kill while airborne over the bridge in Team Swat at the end (we lost 50-48).
Still waiting on the BTB (I'm looking at you, Alti, Dhack & Robbie
) as well as the co-op.

Re: Clan [MA] Halo Division...fall in!
Another good session with Digi and crew. With my erratic headset having progressed to complete mic failure, I guess my new nick is "Epic Silence."
And Digi says I should not be allowed near a tank.
(I wonder if any of them know anything about my age & disabilities; they'd hang their heads
).
With Icks apparently playing only with his own homeys, and Chewie off nearly 50 days, Jeap near 40, I guess I regretfully give up on them going forward. I guess it's this, the UT reunion, and a little Halo PC/H2V in future; and possibly something[s] upcoming. Bungie's got their Tokyo Game Show Reveal (Prepare to Drop), and there's the Peter Jackson game. Ah well.

Re: Clan [MA] Halo Division...fall in!
Since no one else remembered (we used to have a Mod *koff* Icks *koff*
), it falls to me (as usual) to mention another reason to fall in...
We're 9 days shy of our 5th anniversary.
Yup. While archiving recently, I came across screenies of our first MP sessions- 5 years to the day, Wed. 1/28/'04. Levi and I invented Demo Derby there on Infinity, then DocB joined; they left one by each for awhile to play UT.. later both rejoined as Ear and GE also showed in various combos for some Slayer action. Got some good shots of Ear getting blown off the top of Infinity by Doc, me rocketing Doc off the upper bridge there (just a flash with his name on it
).. most or all of that session was on Infinity, but another game soon after had Ear and I killinating each other indoors. Good times; I'll try to make some of those available soon. (Time's tight and they'll need converting from Targa at 3MB each).
Maybe we can do some Reunioning of the Halo 1 type sometime soon.
And stuff.

Re: Clan [MA] Halo Division...fall in!
I recall quite a few games with the [MA] group as well! At this point, I'd have too run off the PeeCee**, but I'd gladly re-install & patch to get some vicious Warthog hit-n-runs in too! 
**I probably still have it installed on the old G4, but I'm not sure I can go back that far & enjoy playing!

Re: Clan [MA] Halo Division...fall in!
BC and I went for altitude records... the ice on Sidewinder was great for triple gainers. Death Island, Danger Canyon and the center bridge on Icefields were great. Somehow Chiron TL34 & Boarding Action weren't as good, somehow...
but aerial duels on Gephyrophobia and Infinity were great. During Inf DD, one time BC hit me and I stuck the landing on one of the rooftops. Got screens somewhere. 
The shot on Doc mentioned was especially fun, being from ground level and him running, suspecting nothing until boom. 
The archiving process keeps turning up more. One thing that stands out is how variable scoring was... one game you're teh suck, the next you're best of 10. Go figure. Hot and cold.
I'll prioritize the MP, maybe send a few to Levi. He can maybe convert and post a few of the best.
(Oh, and don't forget Ear's school videos- or Overpower. Awesome. Rocket-firing chaingun Hogs were the best.
)

Re: Clan [MA] Halo Division...fall in!
So, is there a server still available we can convene on & frag the crap out of each other one evening? I'd imagine there are still public ones we could swarm, but then sacrifice control over gametypes or anything.

Re: Clan [MA] Halo Division...fall in!
MA3 is still available last I heard; I'm not sure why it's not up, except perhaps it lost its longtime home and went to Levi's basement. We were going to reactivate it there, but for some reason that still hasn't happened. I'd have to ask Levi. We were also going to have a UT '99 reunion fragfest, but that also didn't happen. Maybe he's been too busy with work and XBL and didn't see enough demand. :shrug:
I'll enquire.

I was just going thru some screenies tonight, and one of the last MP sessions (Sunday, 11/27/05) had a KOTH session in Warthogs. One shot shows you LOL'ing after I upended you and you wound up 20-30' away, daid. 
My connection was down, so I couldn't get in and post on the 5-year anniversary. Ah well.

Well after getting MA3 up, nobody came. 'Build it and they will come' defiantly didn't hold true here. Then with escalating energy costs we've started to only turn on the computers when in use to save on the electricity bill. MA3 is ready but in a powered down 'green state'.

Re: Clan [MA] Halo Division...fall in!
Well theres gotta be some planning involved to get people to play on. But you could post something and 90% of those who would be interested, likely wouldn't see it. Then those who did wouldn't even reply back on their availability. Just don't have the activity anymore around here.

Re: Clan [MA] Halo Division...fall in!
So we plan things in advance. Somebody has to be the sparkplug; I learned that the second half of the Clan's active life (as well as other things like some members staying away when we got too bogged down in the 'spam vs. skilz' etiquette wars), but that didn't stop some of us from getting some worthwhile gaming in, if not exactly every night. I know; I have the screens, complete with metadata. Anyhoo... I didn't expect much to happen without me, and I haven't been well able to game in quite some time.
Keep MA3 green until we organize something. Shouldn't be long now before I'm ready.
With luck we can get the UT Reunion going sometime near that time, while enthusiasm's up. With luck, could become a semi-regular recession-blues fighting thang.
(Speaking of which, I think I just got a PM
).
