[Game On] ODST Firefight - Gamertag list! Challenges! 4/26: "New Dawn"

Halo 3: ODST Firefight GAME ON
Halo 3: ODST comes with two discs. One contains the ODST campaign, and a Horde-esque co-operative multiplayer mode for four people called Firefight!
As time progresses, gameplay modifiers are added such as the enemies throwing more grenades or they get double health. If the team wipes, it's game over.
This thread is a GAME ON thread specifically for ODST Firefight. If you want to debate Halo, talk about Reach, or get into normal Halo 3 multiplayer games or Halo Wars, you want this thread.
Firefight Friday Challenges
To add a twist to the shenanigans, each Friday I will post a new challenge for people to complete. A vast majority of these challenges will have a 1-Round time limit, so at most they are a 10-12 minute time investment.
Challenge scores will be sorted by 'divisions', which are determined by your geographical location.
Once a game is completed, you can then submit it.
Firefight Friday Site (note: the site is beta right now, it will be made all pretty like when the functionality is done)
Think of it like Scorehero but for Halo, minus any drama.
Even though it's called Firefight Friday, you can submit scores up until following Thursday night.
At the end of each scoring period, the winning division will be determined. You don't win anything yet.. it's all just for fun. But I plan to offer prizes down the line.
These are all people willing to play Firefight. Gamertags are pre-sorted by division for use on Firefight Friday challenges. If you want your gamertag added, reply to this thread with your gamertag and location, or PM me your gamertag and location. You can also just use the IRC web app to quickly find people for Firefight.

Achievements
You can also use this thread if you want help getting the ODST achievements, like any of the 200k points or the Vidmasters.
Vidmaster Endure is at least a 2 hour time investment, and requires your team of 4 to make it to the fifth set on Heroic difficulty in Firefight.
Vidmaster Deja Vu is about a hour and half time investment. It requires a full team of 4 to make it through the entire final level on Legendary without getting into a hog or tank. You are allowed to get into mongooses or ghosts. The Iron Skull must also be on.
200,000 points achievements are about a half hour to 45 minute investment each on Heroic, up to an hour and a half on Normal, and 2 hours on easy. It's possible to get it within 25-30 minutes on Legendary, but just save yourself the pain and don't try it on anything higher than Heroic.

Submission Deadline: January 14, 2010 @ 10PM PACIFIC / 1:00AM EASTERN
I ask only because I know some non-PAers who I could get to participate, but none of whom are in my division, and would probably never post here. But if they could submit games on oranjive and still be counted, that would be good enough.
I'll add the ability to split scores in the next couple of days maybe, but I've definitely earmarked it.
edit: currently what you can do is submit a game and the total score for your division, like say the game's total score was 1,000,000 but East Division players would count for 450,000 of it. Submit the game link and the score as 450,000 for East, and then the Central players would submit the same game link but the score as 550,000...
I intend to extend a hand of invitation to other communities that play Halo to also participate.
With that sticky primed in your hand.. ask yourself, is the loss of points for a betrayal worth denying someone the rocket launcher?
I keep meaning to do this and then remembering at 4 AM after it's all over. :x
E: Oh, I'm on the East coast.
You talk clean and bomb hospitals, so I speak with the foulest mouth possible
New York.
You talk clean and bomb hospitals, so I speak with the foulest mouth possible
I'll do that.
e: Winning by default hoorayyyyyy
I particularly need Endure and the 200k Chasm Ten and Rally Point achievements, but I'm down for anything.

That you are! At least, I keep seeing your name pop up. Unfortunately, my 360 gave me the one-light-o'-death just last night, so no playing for me for the near future. At least MS is willing to repair it...

and see if it shows up. Otherwise I don't know what to say. Will have to file a ticket with the hosts or something.
...But I'm busy this Friday. Open a door, shut a window...
