The New Special Events Thread
We're way overdue for some. Ideas, proposals? This is the place.

Wizard Needs Food, Bad.
How about alternate between all the gametypes with Wizard and shotguns?

So why don't we both either stand up and fight
Or at least together we'll call it a night.

I think Pelicans in Death Island would be cool. Imagine 16 people and you blow up a Pelican transporting 8 people.

Big neon Xmas trees on top of each base, and smaller tree-shaped flags!
And a sound effect like needles falling off like on "A Charlie Brown Xmas" for everytime you nab the flag.

Re: The New Special Events Thread

Icks needs to set things up, I assume.

Re: The New Special Events Thread
I need to know what I'm setting up, first.
Then keep in mind that I work until about 6pm Central on Sat, so it'll have to be after that.

I don't see anyone bettering my suggestion in the first 4 posts here... the only problem is Macs crashing on Overpower when the map changes. If we address that somehow, we're jake, I think, altho DD on Infinity as well as NMC would be great. (I still wanna try Scorps on Infinity someday... 
)
Overpower on NMC or Infinity [envisions chaingun rocket volleys on NMC's freeway...]? Team Race? The possibilities we've never exploited... they're unlimitless! Let's settle on something and do it.

Re: The New Special Events Thread
I remember the Mac Halo crashing problem finally being resolved. But then again, I don't remember why I just came into the room. So... never mind.

You do? If it was, then we should be able to run whatever rotation seems best.

Re: The New Special Events Thread
Maybe I'm remembering that the map was changed to make it work for the Mac after an initial run of not being able to see the shots or do damage to anyone on a PC.
I'd settle for the Overpower Blood Gulch with a crash at the start. It's a freakin' great map.

Re: The New Special Events Thread
Yeah, that's what I remember- it works, and keeps working if the map doesn't change. You have to restart the map everytime Overpower starts, so a rotation is a pain... maybe BG/OP could be set X number of consecutive times, then a change to other maps? Much less inconvenient.
Anyway, Icks should be home by now. Hello out there in IA?

Re: The New Special Events Thread
Damn. I thought Icks was to be home at 6?
Well, no special event tonight. Hopefully some regular play yet tonight? (I could be ready in a bit...)
As I've suggested before, I suggest again we make weekends special events on a regular, perhaps rotating, basis... I'll look on the fileserver for the maps soon, try to post links.

Re: The New Special Events Thread
Apparently the great centralized info thread needs reconstructing, too... you can check the server status at
http://www.nontent.net/halo_query/index … ;port=2302
...or by means of one or 2 or 3 desktop trackers folks have posted (and need to repost).

If you look in the Important Stuff thread at the top I posted the desktop tracker info there. Mac only, though the same links and options should carry over to PC
