Normal Halo thread OP to return after birthday celebrations! Until then, here's a nice mini-OP:

How do I get into games with TBK?
Send a FR to 'A TBK Clan II' or add a gamertag from one of the people that post in this thread. Be online. We'll send you invites. Then games will be played.

Do I need Legendary to play with you?
No, we'll just switch to non-legendary required playlists or customs. Although since about 96% of us have Legendary, you'll be putting your 600 ms bux to good use.

    -Land Grab Snowbound
    -1 Sided anything (except for territories on Last Resort)
    -2 Flag SWAT

    CONTEST IS OVER!

    2) Pull up your file share or search for your gamertag and go to your file share

    3) The screenshot or film will have a clickable link that leads to a page with just it on there (like the map and gametype above). Copy this link.

    7) winners will be announced in december

    8) prizes will come as soon as possible, at least in time for the Mythic Map Pack

    9) If I was not in a TBK Birthday game that you were in, PLEASE EMAIL ME AT LEAST ONE GAME THAT YOU PLAYED. Otherwise I will not give you a raffle spot because I have no other way to tell you played a game.








    Rules spoiler'd
    While we usually play Halo 2 on Nov 9th, it's really hard to get anyone to play it anymore. Not only does it take forever to set up the maps, but the online is a wasteland of douches and superbouncers and whatnot.

    So for this one I think we should focus on Halo 3, since most everyone will probably be on Recon next year.

    So what is the haps?

    On November 9th, I'm going to post a special map and a special gametype. Play this gametype/map with a lot of other people. And then you can win prizes!

    LAY THOSE PRIZES DOWN ON ME

    Category: most accumulated points throughout the day
    Stipulation: only games with at least 6 people will count, and only some of your highest scoring games (the number of games I count depends on the turnout)

    Prize: 1200 (15$) Microsoft Points sent to you via PM, in time for the Mythic Map Pack


    Category: best screenshot
    Stipulation: screenshot must be from one of your games. You MUST upload the screenshot to your fileshare to prove it came from one of those games (it'll show up as a media file when looking at the game)

    I'm looking for comedy here. Bonus points if the screenshot has an elite in it. It's my fucking money, my contest decision!

    Prize: 1600 (20$) Microsoft Points sent to you via PM, in time for the Mythic Map Pack
    OR
    3 Months (20$) of Xbox Live GOLD membership sent to you via PM

    Category: best film clip/highlight
    Stipulation: Film must be from one of your games. You MUST upload the film clip to your fileshare to prove it came from one of those games (it'll show up as a media file when looking at the game). Not accepting gamevee submissions.

    Get an awesome killtrocity? Did you surf a hog into the moon? Show it to me and try to impress me! Bonus points for good directorial work in-engine.

    Prize: 1600(20$) Microsoft Points sent to you via PM, in time for the Mythic Map Pack.
    OR
    3 months (20$) of Xbox Live GOLD membership sent to you via PM


    BUT WAIT THERES MORE
    Entering any of these categories will earn you a spot in my Awesome FyreRaffle for a free copy of

    HALO 3: RECONZ

    which will be ordered and shipped to you as fast as humanly possible upon release.

    You can gain up to one spot in the raffle per category you enter, for up to 3 entries! I will be holding more opportunities throught the year to earn more raffle spots, this is the probably going to be the easiest ones to get though.


    FINE PRINT MOTHERFUCKERS READ IT
    I reserve the right to not award prizes. Microsoft Points may come after Mythic Map Pack release. I reserve the right to switch out prizes with one of equal or lesser value. Halo 3 Recon will be replaced with 3200MS points if MS is going to charge 60$ for it. Must be 18 or have parent's permission to enter contest. Enter as long as you have a way to redeem United States prepaid codes. If for some reason I cannot give you a prize due to location/legal issues, I will make a 20$ donation in your name to either Child's Play or the Brian Morden Foundation, your choice. You must have a account on the PA forums with a registration date of no later than October 1, 2008. Multiple accounts = banned from contest

    So I just recorded myself. I jumped into one of the side-Man Cannons on Avalanche during a big team slayer match.

    I had just picked up rockets, and as soon as I jumped in the cannon I noticed something. A Hornet!

    I shot it down while I was in the middle of the cannon jump. I felt pretty great.

    Going to try to upload it on Gamevee.

    it's hard to read the ugly ass quotetrees over there, if you can figure out who actually said it i'll fix it

    but it's not like plat is about the truth anyway

    like you know, calling me a power hungry person when 99.9% of my moderation history on the forums is thread sticks/unsticks and edits and only 1 or 2 locks

    but I guess it's more fun to just make shit up while people sit around and think about days gone by because they are attached to a fucking internet forum

    Alright gents, I concede; I am buying Rock Band 2, though no earlier until I get my holiday gift cards on Christmas. I do not require the Rock Band 1 disc since my friend has it on the 360, and he'll be back from college for the winter then. I can just borrow his.

    Also I'll be up for some Halo soon since I'm skipping out on my super-early class tomorrow in favor of a) sleep, and b) voting. Prof doesn't even take attendance, so half the class has never shown up anyway outside of tests. And I somehow manage to get B+s on the tests with very little notes taken and no studying at all.

    Alternatively, examine storing everything in handy lockers, cabinets, trashcans and the like - nobody searches those things for items except you. Unless they do.

    Again, thirty bucks for a game that cost 170 dollars is not worth it. Hell, I got over 100 for my PSP when I discovered that the only game I was ever gonna use it for was War of the Lions (I seriously had not used it in about 10 months after I had beat WotL), and that only cost 30 more than the whole Rock Band. And if I ever want to play Tactics again, I could probably find a copy of the PS1 version for thirty dollars.

    Plus, I figure I can move the PS3 to the living room and let my sister and her friends have control over RB1, while I preserve RB2 to myself and my friends. That'll shut her up about me never letting her play it.
