Adam

Interesting........but what numbers are actually expected?

Korvanica

Hmm, sounds cool. might try muster up a team.

Huge session on the night of the 19th yea ?

Strawberry Oreo

I'm definitely going - Ardiko

Also, are these teams seeded (picked on the day teams) or premade 4v4 before the tournie?
I also suggest a 1v1 tournie to run parallel to the 4v4 comp/ffa

Oh definitely!

@Ardiko

Haven't decided on the teams yet, will probably have to have a mix of teams that people want to play on, and then teams made up of the rest.

Premade teams are welcome as it takes the hassle out of our job but I'll talk to you later on XBL anyway!

Strawberry Oreo

Cheers! I won't be on Halo till next week but talk to you then.

Momento Mori

Interesting... Would totally go if it was Halo 2/3 ;P

I'll see what I can do guys. Either way, great to see the Halo tournaments happening again! I'll spread the word.

Smartly Dressed

I'd be interested in this but I really don't know if I'd be available because of co-op. I'll keep it mind.

Adam

What is this co-op people speak of?

Work experience as part of the college course.

this looks like good craic!
I might have a team!

VivGrise

Just to keep you updated,

The hotel has agreed to allow us to stay in the room overnight, so bring sleeping bags and there won't be any extra cost renting a hotel room there.

Unfortunately there will be an extra cost for renting the room, so the cost is €20 per person for the weekends gaming.

I'll be sending on the updated list of teams to Mickeroo today so you can see how many teams have signed up!

Lol... There won't be much sleeping happening.

Is it cool to come even I am not on a team ?

Can we bring our own booze ?

Yeah and is it lan only or will there be a bit of live?
whats the deal with routers/cables/wifi ?

+1 on the byob!

VivGrise

Ya feel free to bring your own beer. I don't think there will be any live, the internet isn't up to scratch from the last time we were there. We will bring all the necessary hubs, just being an Ethernet cable. We will have the room set up and ready to go for you when you arrive, just set you your xbox and away you go.

@ Korvanica, We have a good few people not on teams and we'll try and form them up before the event.

maximoose

Interesting... when you say 19th and 20th, what exactly is the schedule? Wouldn't be able to make the Thursday but could be tempted to the Friday!

EDIT: never mind me, just realised I was looking at Jan 2012 calendar

Mickeroo

Teams & Players list updated there.

Right,
Just heard back from the last of the lads,
Were in!
full team
Really looking forward to it now!

Team SixTwo Hade-TBA-TBA-TBA

VivGrise

Up to around 9 teams with those coming from the north still to be added and the few free agents to form teams, shaping up to reach 12 teams I reckon. Should have good prize money aswell.

Bellerophon 13

I have to say it is fantastic that an event like this is being organised on our shores and hopefully it will be the 1st of many events like this. I do have a couple of questions that I was hoping could be answered.

1)Are you allowed to use custom controllers, i.e. Scuf, Razer Onza, Homemade (pretty much identical to a scuf).

2)What settings will be used? AGL are using v5 settings (by diesel) for their event at the end of January.

3)Will there be a vote to determine gametypes and maps? There is just a ridiculous amount of gametypes and maps floating around at the moment.

4)What is the schedule for the 2 days?

5)Will it be best of 3 or best of 5 matches?

I do understand that some information will not be available right away but any information would be greatly appreciated.

VivGrise

1) Any controller MLG approved will be alowed, onza Scuf etc. Depends on the custom controller. Can't see any problems with controllers tbh

2) Settings will be determined the first week in Jan, testing a lot of settings at the minute including the AGL settings, but still looking at the minute.

3) There will be 4 groups, with each team playing everyone in their group. Best of 3. Then there will be a double elimination tournament, best of 9.

Maps will be predetermined for the group stages, and then you play all of the maps if needed in the double elimination. With each team deciding in what order the maps are played when itis their turn.

4) Schedule will be announced in Jan, but I would imagine arrive at 10. Set up and register by 11, practice games until 12 then group stages. Break for food by 5/6 then start the double elimination. Play a round of double elimin, and then FFA.

Finish the tournament then on Sun.

5) Best of 3 for the group stages

Pullo

Our Team:

T1tus Pullo + Luc1us Vorenus + II Pand3mic II + HURRICANE333

Hey, ya to be honest space will be at a premium and we'll need teams only, try and get as many teams to the event as possible.

We will have a bit of time for social games and other games other than Halo when the tournament is over.

Mickeroo

Teams/Free Agents list updated.

John_McClane

Has any decision been made about map variants/game settings yet? Getting short on time now, would be handy to be able to practise with the right settings.

VivGrise

The gametypes will be

KOTH - Cella

SLAYER - Simplex, Cella, Haven, Lockout

CTF - Lotus, Simplex, Solace Slice,Relay

EXTRACTION - Station 9

ODDBALL - Haven, Lockout


These will be the AGL settings and the maps and gametypes will be available to download on my gamertag in the next two days.

Also due to limited space, spectators will NOT be allowed into the venue, and all teams that plan to attend need to send me a message confirming ASAP.

BlizzardFury

@VivGrise, in regards the teams entered so far, I'm just double checking that we have been added to the teams coming down from the North to play, 4 of us from Derry, Team Name is 22.1

VivGrise

For convenience and fairness we've decided just to stick to the AGL settings in full.


The gametypes will be AGL settings and the format will follow the format on the Arena Gaming Website for the Chicago Event.

http://arenagaming.u...hp/chicago-2013

Sign up will be from 11 A.M.

Warm up games will be from 12-2 and the tournament will start from 3p.m. with group stages until 7p.m.

Brackets will start at 8 until 11p.m.

FFA sign up will be at 10 and will start at 11 on Sunday morning. And the rest of the brackets will start at 1.


Also due to limited space, spectators will NOT be allowed into the venue, and all teams that plan to attend need to send me a message confirming ASAP.

Gametypes are available on Arena Gaming or on VivGrise file share
