[b]Game:[/b] Halo 2 (Xbox) [b]Start time:[/b] 4PM PDT on Thursday 31st May [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=72348477]As promised[/url] a Halo 2 carnage event will go ahead. It was delayed as result of divine intervention, to allow Big Black Bear to play. Same spiel as before still applies, sign-ups have however been cleared (although those that did sign up last time will be prioritised if places are oversubscribed).

Grit your teeth, it's worth it.[/i] [b]ENSURE THIS IS SETUP WELL IN ADVANCE AND UNDERSTOOD FULLY BEFORE SIGNING UP[/b] (the thread has been posted early to give you plenty of time to sort it out) Step 1: [url=http://www.xbconnect.com/index.php?topic=networksetups]Check you have a compatible network setup[/url] ([url=http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081218070231AAVF56m]Help! My laptop/PC is wireless![/url]) Step 2: [url=http://www.xbconnect.com/index.php?topic=downloads]Download XBC client[/url] Step 3: [url=http://www.xbconnect.com/downloads/WinPcap_4_1_2.exe]Download WinPcap[/url] Step 4: Run XBC (create account), switch on Xbox and begin searching for system link games on Halo 2; provided you have correctly completed past steps your console will synch with your PC.

Note that as before you enter a legally binding contract in doing so. Should you fail to attend your mother is fair game. If we are already aquainted we'll throw in a video. If you are unconvinced PM me for links to a montage involving Apocalypex's mother.[/quote] [b]Maps and Gametypes[/b] [quote][b]Game 1:[/b] Team King on Midship (Let the carnage flow through you) [b]Game 2:[/b] Tower of Power on Ascension (I would rather play Phantom Pistols on Waterworks, but tradition dictates we play) [b]Game 3:[/b] Team Ball on Lockout (having made half the party rage quit, I am hypocritically throwing in the most overplayed map in the history of Halo... with an Oddball) [b]Game 4:[/b] Zombies on Foundation (we'll be playing with honour rules; if you do not change teams a mother video will also be disclosed, only warning) [b]Game 5:[/b] One Flag on Burial Mounds (I was honestly at a loss choosing the gametypes as Halo 2 has too many bloody good launch maps. I decided to go for something underrated for the last bout of the evening) *And yes all games will have BR starts, because the SMG is god awful.[/quote] [quote]Red team 1.
