AVF Halo Tournament No 1

Is there any interest in a small, fun Halo tournament.

I know the "usual lot" won't be interested (you know who you are ) , but this could be a good chance to get some fresh blood in and make some new friends

Not sure what the format would be - depends on numbers.

I know there is a Gears tourney in progress but I just wanted to gauge interest just now.



============================
(Munkey Boy edits follow)

Overview

There are 4 squads of up to eight players. Game types will vary according to round, and maps vary according to fixture.

I'm guessing people will keep dropping out, so we are still open to new people who want to play.

Points Scoring

Each fixture is 3x maps, winning criteria based on game type. Points are scored:

8 points for a team winning all 3 maps.
5 points for a team winning 2 of the 3 maps.
2 points for a team winning 1 of the 3 maps.
A bonus point for a steak dinner win (win by 20 or more kills in slayer to 50, or similar for other game type).

Round 1 (Team Slayer)

Fixture 1 (Construct, Highground, Last Resort)

Squad 3 48 - 50 Squad 4
Squad 3 50 - 37 Squad 4
Squad 3 35 - 50 Squad 4

Squad 1 50 - 45 Squad 2
Squad 1 50 - 43 Squad 2

Fixture 2 (Snowbound, Standoff (free Heroic Map Pack download), Guardian)

Squad 2 42 - 50 Squad 4

Re: AVF Halo Tournament No 1

You can provisionally put me down but work is all over the shop and baby likes to wake me up when I get some kip.

If I'm around when you're playing, I'll play.

MAJOR POST EDIT: I have [in the end] decided to give Halo 3 another go, after buying a mint Ltd Edition copy from the trading section for £14 delivered

Soooooo, after much deliberation, please keep me signed up for the tourney.

Re: AVF Halo Tournament No 1

I rebought Halo 3 two weeks ago off this forum as guys at work were keen to try it out online. I resold it a few days later.

I really wanted to enjoy this game but it bores the pants off me (and bored the guys at work too who all preferred the GOW & COD4 sessions - including two big Halo fans).

Loved the Co-Op Campaign though. Good luck with this tourney

Re: AVF Halo Tournament No 1

I'm back in -got a good deal in the trading section, and Halo3 should be arriving with me shortly

Am I right in thinking there's some DLC available?? And if so, is it:

a) essential
b) well priced

Re: AVF Halo Tournament No 1

heroic map pack is free 600 points for the legendary
the map packs are good because it gives you a new game mode in ranked team swat as soon as seriously pops up im going on a swat run as its a quality game mode and a must play.
You can play swat on social so a try before you buy session is i order for you

I thought that Bungie had confirmed the legendary pack will not be going free. However, I've not been paying as much attention lately so I may well have missed it. Although Shishka (Bungie forum mod and employee) said on the 12th June in a forum post:-

Quote:
There is no plan to make the maps free. If you're going to try to wait, you'll be waiting for a very long time.

TBH mate if you are going to give halo a good go I would recommend these maps as they are definitely worth it IMO. Black out is a great map, as is Avalanche although it hardly gets played due to it being too big. Much better value than the Heroic pack was anyway.

well it is only a rumour said to be hopefully free sometime in the autumn, whether they do or not remains to be seen.

i may just get the maps, not a lot of points really.
