Leaving rules up to discus until the weekend

[Logann]

So wait, does BR Spawn = Only BR weapons on map :S lol?

[Deadishot]

now its just means you spawn with it as your main weopon.



i think, specailly cuz no one else is throwing any rules out, that we should just use mlg type rules.

MLG v2 has been out for a lil while and they are trying to drop 3 before the new years.


you can download and read about them here:

Version 2 Changes

Before getting into specifics, here are a few general things. Firstly, MLG game types are always a work in progress. New strategies, discoveries and constant testing change the way we play the game and our settings will reflect this evolution. Secondly, the assault rifle and shotgun have been removed from v2 gametypes. We felt that both weapons were too powerful. The assault rifle diminished skilled shooting and overpowered the Carbine/BR even at mid-range. The shotgun had no equivalent at short range and, especially on a map such Guardian, was completely overpowering. The Mauler remains in the game and should turn out to be an important weapon to control.

Onto the details. Remember these are the highlights. Players will find more changes as they get in and play these game types.


Overall Changes

* A custom overshield has been added to The Pit and gives players 3x shield which is similar to the Halo 2 shield, increasing default Halo 3 power.
* Shield recharge rate is now 90%. The maps are relatively large and after testing for some time we found that too often players would seek cover after taking fire and recharge their shields before enemies had time to pursue an advantage. By making the shield recharge rate slower, the game takes on a faster pace.
* Damage Modifier upped to 110%. This makes the Battle Rifle slightly more powerful (one fewer bullet, 11 instead of 12, to kill) and the Carbine is now seven instead of eight shots (with a headshot) to kill. This change also means that less shots are required before or after a melee in order to kill. Again, this alteration makes the game faster-paced and encourages skilled shooting.
* Player speed increased to 110%. This speeds up the game play and makes targets harder to hit because strafing is slightly faster.
* Melee damage dropped to 50% when carrying the flag or ball. Holding the flag or ball and meleeing is now only slightly more powerful than a regular melee.

those are basically the rules, its pretty straight forward and much better than default rules, and it provides rules for our tourny so we dont have to make them up becasue by the looks of things, no one really wants to voice their opinion on anything

Fuck it okay we'll do that, I guess.

So the only question remaining is 2vs2 or 3vs3?


I'd like 3vs3 but what about the rest of you? Or should I just post sign ups and see how many we get? then allow everyone to sort into teams

[Deadishot]

i like 2v2's but 3v3's i dont mind either,

we defntly will need a sign up though, im not sure if everyones still interested becaue no ones been postin at all

[Deadishot]

is their anyway we can play the fourth or fifth of jan, im just wondering cuz thats the last week im home for vacation and my home connection is wayy better than my shitty wireless at college and theirs alot less drunk people to come in and annoy me.

it doesnt matter really when, i would just prefer those days, its up to everyone else though, it dont matter one way or another to me that much.
