For later weeks, when you want to start pulling out the crazy stuff: Rooster Teeth and their Game Night series has a lot of great ideas (well suggestions were given to them) for games.
I believe the other room took part in Speed Halo last night, which is always a good time with a full room.

Definitely will look at these. I'm going into this slowly and get a feel for the crowd's needs. The slightly crazier games will be saved for evening close out so we don't lose customers early.
I know Kenjamin is a track builder. I might get him to pull out his best 16 player track eventually.
Spying Scissors is an excellent map maker too. I'm sure we can fit one of his in soon. I think several Clans are playing one or two maps of his every week. They probably do not even know they are his.
OMGLaser has a bunch of Big Team Battles official maps. I know the more competitive players will like one of those in the mix. I think I saw one in Fire's party.
I have to be very careful some members don't get the idea this is not the Halo they know and love. Barring comments about REACH that is.
We've got 12 weeks of this event before REACH gets replaced with Halo 4. It will be great if we can send it off feeling good about it.
I don't mind a mix of crazy, casual, and competitive maps. For me to leave it means playing one of those 3 types over and over again. I want variety on clan and community nights. :)
I don't know how I missed out on all this- I looked to see if I had a private invitation message from DEEP, but I guess you were too busy I don't know how I feel- waiting seven years to be part of your weekly group and then two months before my 50th birthday you open up a night for EVERYONE Just saying...
I did try once to get Wam and Achy to play with me on a small team, so I guess if they're going to do this instead I'll jion in. Hopefully everyone I haven't played with in awhile can handle a girl kickin' their you know what! See you on Thursday, boys and girls...

You almost got a personal reminder but the XBL msg limit is 100 and then I can't remember who I did and didn't already send to.
The Over 50 is still there on Tuesdays and you have a permanent invitation now. Use the tournament tag or any of your FL to find a way in.
Same with the Thursday night Site Wide. I will be on every Thursday night no matter how many people turn out. Some of the usual characters will likely be hanging with me and the party is Friends Only. If ou still can't find anyone just send me an XBL msg with Inv in it and I will pull you right in.

Damn, Nirvy I never saw the invite or even you online. If I had I would have invited you in. Gonna keep my head down next week
Here are suggestions based on FUN for a large group of varying experience. Please offer others. Test these yourself.
Stupefy by CoookkieMonster - Standard Mongoose, wide track, room to pass. May need spawn tweak for 16.
CoookkieMonster and Goldman 010 have some excellent race maps.
Trollercoaster by KSI Milk Man (sp?)- Standard Mongoose, narrow track, fast and hazardous. Lots of falling.
THE MAW RACE modified by LotsaToBlErOnE - Standard Warthog or Mongoose, replica of the CE ending level 'The Maw.' Fun, but may get too crowded with 16 warthogs though?
I have two of mine that may work, but are NOT the smooth-rolling rollercoaster-type tracks that everybody likes. So...?
RACE: Loopy Runes or RACE: Hemogoblin - Both are best with Standard Mongoose, and do have traffic intersection areas for chance collisions.
I found YouTube videos for some of these, but most of the music they used was so awful, I could not ask you to bear it.
LALA Speaks the truth
The only gametypes i had were MLG and old 2o2p Comp gametypes we all came up with a long time ago. Next week I will have a plethora of gametypes.
But....that IS fun!

FYI. New people do read these posts.
Someone new to me asked to play with us.
he's probably new to you because you don't get out much...

That's a tough one. I personally like Exile and Fortress the most. However, both of those are forged so if you prefer a default map with slight changes, our Tempest variant is good. I'm not at home to upload the maps and gametypes to my fileshare but here's the link to btb.net's official gamertag: http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/haloreach/Official%20BTBnet/fileshare#!/?section=MapVariants&MapId=&GameMode=0&SearchDate=7&SortBy=2&view-select=Tile&tags=&startIndex=0
if that doesn't work, just go to halo.xbox.com and search for the gamertag: Official btbnet
I'll be in tonight. And I have a handful of Wacky 2o2phalo custom Gametypes. No Hog Mania though, that one's special and we'll keep it to ourselves
I'll be on tonight for a while, before I join my regular clan night.
Same for most of Profanity. Had a good time last week. I'm thinking we make it up to 3 rooms tonight.
I had a great time last week. Lots of GTs I havent seen in a looooong time. I'll do my best to make it tonight.
For future Wacky consideration... Race!?

I should be on tonight I'll look for familiar faces. Maybe if I beg the wife she'll let me stay on later.
