[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).
[quote][b]Setting up XBConnect:[/b] [i]Hopefully this step-by-step guide will leave you mostly unscathed by the many wires and words. 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.

[quote][b]Awesome, how do I sign up?[/b]
All you need to do is post your [u]XBC username[/u] in this thread and confirm you can play. 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]

You guys should use Halo 2 VISTA, xbox connect never works right with me.

Wait, we have to have Halo 2 for the xbox? If so, man, I just downloaded all that stuff for nothing. I need the answer. [Edited on 05.28.2012 7:33 AM PDT]
