Custom Game Nights w/ CHa0s - all skill levels
Custom Game Nights w/ CHa0s - all skill levels
So I thought I'd return the favor since you guys have so graciously included me in several of your Thursdays, and try and let you all know when I'm going to be running a custom lobby by copy/pasting posts in this thread. This Friday we're going to immerse ourselves in the new fan-made Conversion gametype, which apparently plays similar to Invasion. We usually get a mix of solid casual-competitives to competitives, but everyone behaves or gets teh boot.

Where: Halo 4, Xbox 360, wherever you are.
When: August 30th, starting at 7:30pm P/10:30pm E, running a minimum two hours or until we run out of Conversion maps.
What: Gamenight where we gorge ourselves on the fan-created invasion-like gametype, “Conversion”.
Who: This game lobby is open to participants aged 17 and up. This is a guideline: please behave respectfully to all party-goers and do not be loud or disruptive. Party goers who are disruptive will find themselves booted. Please do not take it personal.
How: Send a message to [url=https://live.xbox.com/en-US/Messages?gamertag=AddiCt3d%202CHa0s]AddiCt3d 2CHa0s[/url] on LIVE (the “0″ is a zero…) before the games are to start, the day of. Gamers will be invited in the order of invites received. * Once all invites have gone out, the party will be opened and people are free to join via the chat invite trick (send a chat invite, access profile via invite, see “join” option of party has a spot).
Why?: Because the idea amuses me. Come be amused with me.
Cautions & Warning: I have not played one game of Conversion and do not even know if I will like it. That being said, it looks like a riot, and I’m willing to give it a shot. This event will most probably be captured and put up on YouTube.
* Gamers who RSVP via HaloCustoms.com or post their intent to join in this thread get first priority invites at lobby start.

If I'm on I will join for a bit.
Read the directions, noob. RSVP like a boss.
Heh heh, if there's room anyone is welcome ^^ RSVP is only for those who want to make sure they get in.
Same here. I'm up for it if I'm around tonight.
Just send me a message if you want in. I'm not on any 202p FoF lists yet, but I have DEEP, Edie, LegendCalledJim and Double T on my friend's list if you have any of those guys.
(plus there's a link to Xbox.com to message me on yer PC in the first post of this thread)
What am I - chopped liver?
I actually appreciated the idea behind Invasion and the game was fun IF you could get past those initial spawns on Boneyard. The Elites were always fun to play, but got wrecked by the DMRs.
:p You haven't been coming to the Thursday nights, so I forgot you were around here. Ya gots ta remember: I'm pretty much a newbie here ;)
And yes, you are chopped liver.
Sure. What the hell. After the baseball game, I'll hop over.
My evening started out okay and then Live started dropping me. It was good while it lasted. :)
:( Internet woes suck royally, especially when it cuts into Halo! Well, it was a pleasant surprise getting party-bombed by a herd - er, murder - of 202p folk. I'd rather play with you guys than randoms from Halo Customs who come in with no mic and t-bag my friends :/ the least they can do is get to know them first! lol
Thanks for joining up guys, it was fun.
I don't usually get on any nights but Tues. and Thurs.
My internet got screwy. I had to reset my MTU and then it was golden. Funny how you can play for a month at max MTU and then it decides to crap out when you're having fun :(
Invasion always felt like a gametype that was an interesting concept, but never really fleshed out. Clearly, some folks like it, because I've seen a handful of people on Reddit bemoan the lack of its existence sporadically, and, apparently, dear Chaos is one of those folks. It was nice to play with you guys, but I don't like Invasion much at all. Wake me up for 4v4 MLG customs, or whatever they're calling it these days. Now that, I can play (and have played) every day for 4 or 5 hours every night.
I don't know what you're talking about. I have never bemoaned on Reddit ;p
Well, one of the problems with that gametype was a Bungie problem of not being able to identify a better starting weapon than the Battle Rifle. I distinctly remember a few Invasion games, on that one huge map (ha), where the Elites never even got up onto the ship. they were all annihilated where they spawned in because they got team shot by a mass of DMRs from the hull of the ship off their spawn. Bungie spawned Spartans with DMRs and Elites with Plasma Pistols. At range, the Spartans, especially if they're working together, will win about 100% of the time, and it won't even be close. Finally, They made it so you could spawn with a Needle Rifle and you could at least defend yourself. Now we have a smorgasbord of good, starting precision weapons to use off the spawn, so that's progress.
Invasion might have had an interesting end result to it if it were more fleshed out. Hell, it could/should have even been Spartan Ops, where you have to fight through a stage or two with a partner. 343 either didn't want to do anything with it, or didn't have the time.
I was going to attend your Forge night but I had a huge migrane. :(
Eeeew! Migraines are the suxx-ors. Glad you stayed away, those freakin' things are contagious! Just kidding, sorry you missed it, and sorry you were inflicted with one of those bastards. Friday was kind of crazy, and I've gotten feedback to hold the lobby to a milder tone, so the next one'll be better anyway (games should be up on YouTube today). Just remember they're every other Friday.
This coming Friday might be a Modded gametypes lobby or Modded maps lobby, or mini-games, haven't decided. (to anyone who hasn't heard, there is a video of Frankie saying people will not get banned for playing modded games, or even having them in their fileshare).
(I thought I already posted about this?)
This Friday is Spartans' Playground: Forger's Showcase. It happens every other Friday:
Every Other Friday 7:30pm P/10:30pm E
Come share and experience top-quality, competitive Halo 4 maps by Forgers from various Halo communities across the ‘net. Maps will be played on default War Games gametypes and settings. Map sizes will be determined by party size (max 14). Customs will run at least two hours or until we run out of maps.
PLEASE READ:
HOW TO JOIN:
To join in on the fun, send a text message on LIVE to: *
AddiCt3d 2CHa0s (the “0″ is a zero)
and I’ll shoot out invites in order received as spots open up in the party.
Once I’ve sent invites to all requests, I will open the party. Feel free at any time to use the chat invite trick: Send me a chat invite, then access my profile via the invite. If the option exists to join I’ve opened the party and there is room so jump on in.
Looking forward to exploring new maps and shooting you in the face, see you there!
* Mini games and other “crazy customs” maps occasionally get featured in this lobby. Let me know what you have and I’ll let you know if we’ll run it. Remember: the key word is “quality”.
** There will be a lobby set up at HaloCustoms.com, gamers who RSVP there will get first invites
Please message me here or on LIVE if you are interested in being part of a map critique and video feature team.

What time does this happen on Friday?? (Eastern)
10:30pm and usually runs for two and a half to three hours. You should come share some of your maps, I haven't seen any in your sig except the Un iron Oxide one. We do limit the number of non-competitive maps tho, most people show up to playtest competitive. It's nice to take breaks and see something more fun.
Some of those maps looked really good...nice and clean. Ill try to drop in one of these nights
Awesome ^^
By the way, I realize with my ranting about craving more competitive gameplay in the "are there clans" thread might make some people not feel welcome, so please let it be clear that all skill levels are welcome at these game nights. If I get to running competitive-only nights I will put them in a different thread. I'll see if I can change topic title to add that.
If I can get on I would like to try this.
Sounds good! You can find me through the silver tag: A1Halo2o2p and send the "inv?" message. Also, after I get everyone in who RSVP'd I cap the party and open it and anyone can join in at that point.
Hopped on to play some new forge maps only for Chaos to drop 349852 times. :( Didn't know anyone else in the party once Lou left so I split. Maybe better luck next time.
Yeah, it was only three (such a drama queen! lol) but such suck!! Doesn't happen all week and then has to happen while I'm recording Forge features :/ but it was good seeing you guys. CRAZY in there, tho, really hard to keep track of everything but I'm sure I'll get better.
