Friday Night FragFest: February 1, 2008 - papi returns edition
By papi blez
Posted on Thu Jan 31, 2008 at 02:58:33 PM EST

So, I'm returning to FFF after missing a week.  Hopefully somewhat triumphantly.

I'm thinking we need to vary it up this week.  I haven't played Halo 3 in forever and I was just talking with someone from Bungie this week and they've put us in the Humpday rotation.  That means that Gearheads will be taking on Bungie at some point in the future.  So the bottom line is that I need some freaking practice.  I haven't played in quite a while so I'm thinking perhaps some Halo 3, COD4 and Gears all in one night, if everyone is up for it.

Sign up below for tomorrow night's festivities.  And let me know if you're up for some practice with me on Halo 3.  I will most definitely be the worst player on the Gearheads team, but I was informed that the admin has to be on the team otherwise they call BS on it.

Re-emerging

Hey Papi,

I'll look to join the Gearheads online Friday.  It's been a while, so you will have to remind me what the official FFF start time is?

See ya'll there!

Ready to finish all the Fights!

I'll be there

but not for Halo3. I traded that in a while ago. But i'm in for some CoD and Gears (as usual) :D

by RoBBins0096 on Thu Jan 31, 2008 at 03:31:18 PM EST


Yeah, I might try and borrow

Halo 3 to play with you guys.

But for CoD and Gears, I'm all in! ("He's bluffing!")

Playoffs?!? You talking about... playoffs?!

by ajABE on Thu Jan 31, 2008 at 03:34:56 PM EST


Heh.

I just played Bungie last night!  In Grifball, at least.  And not with the likes of Luke or Frank, or even Sketch (oddly, the captain of the Bungie Grifball team.  He had a "conflict" to deal with, and couldn't make it.).  You guys are lucky you'll be able to play with the "big guys".  It was nice having someone from Bungie on my Friends List while it lasted though..  Luckily, Sketch says he's interested in having us playtest some of his Forged maps with him and some Bungie guys sometime.  So I guess that makes up for it.

Here's the game.  There are a few screenshots I took as well (check the "Game Assets" box).

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo3.aspx?gameid=292617733&player=msmajorsilva

As for FFF, I'd be honored to host a Halo 3 room.  I got all my router/connection problems worked out, thanks to Savage Injun on here and Master NOODLE from.. nearly every Halo site on the internet.  I could offer some tips/strategies that could make the fight against Bungie pretty easy, papi, whenever it comes.

I have quite a few gametypes, ranging from the standard to the crazy, to the mundane, and everything in between.  

If anybody is interested, either send me a message on Live or a note on here so I know who to send invites too.  I'll keep my Grifball team online after our game with HBO if anyone's interested in playing that to start things off.

Go time brotha

Sadface.

I know it's relatively early, but I keep seeing "New Comments" being posted, but none in response to mine.  Nothing on Live either.

Oh well.  I'll still keep the party open for anyone who wants to come.  

Hopefully I can at least get in on the Humpday, given that I'm one of the few on here who actually still own Halo 3.  It's also good that Bungie allows for 6 people - you can get a better selection of the community on this site because of that.

Hopefully I can pop in for some COD4 tonight, but there's no guarantees.

You're definitely welcome

to be a part of that Humpday.  We're going to need good players to pick up the slack for my terrible playing.

[ Parent ]


Cool.

I'll use my amazing MLG skillz.  Heh.

Just make sure we don't play on Sketchtrap.  That's the map that spawns the Bungie team with access to the best weapons, vehicles, etc.  It's more of a joke than anything else.  

Any idea when this thing will happen?  I'm guessing it's not, next week, for instance, but I can't imagine it's too far into the future.

This should probably be kept relatively secret, I suppose.  Imagine if word got out about this - how many people would join just to ask "canz i pleh bungee wit u guyz??!?".  

Although... it might boost the member count substantially :).

Papi

You ain't as bad as you say you are man.  We all have off days, just start to think of all the good days, then forget the bad ones.  Then you'll see, you're not that bad.  Unless, you really are that bad, then, nothing will help you...  LOL, JK

I actually am that bad at Halo MP

But surprisingly, I'm pretty good at the campaign.  I just get owned in Halo online.

Not nearly as much in COD4 though (well, sometimes I do).

by papi blez on Fri Feb 01, 2008 at 06:02:49 PM EST

well

we'll just have to see I guess.  There are plenty of tips you can use to up the skillz.

Actually

 I totally STINK at Halo MP.  I get my butt handed to me whenever I play, oh I guess that's not helping my chance of getting to play with the Bungie guys LOL.  I bought the new maps a while back and I played on them once, I need to try them out some more I guess.

Hey, if you guys need extra help

my two boys can pull their own weight and then some.  They are fierce and they play together like the Orges so they have chemistry, too.  Watchin' those two go for the flag on a Mongoose on Valhalla is a treat.  I am almost disappointed they got Smash Brawl this week.  I loved knowing they were kickin' butt in the Halo universe while I was at work.

papi, I think they are even on your friends list, at least Johann Nishiki is.   Ah, I am crazy proud of those guys.   ;)

I would definitely

be in for some Halo 3 and Gears if I can make it Friday night- I'm pretty sick right now so we'll see =)

By the way the fact that we are going to be able to play Bungie is AWESOME! They support their community better than any other gaming organization

I'm totally in

for some Halo 3, since it's been a while since we've talked...  I'm not the best, but I'm good.  As for playing Bungie, you can definetly count on me.  I'm also down for whatever else as well.

I might.

Make it.

by HELLFIRE V1 on Thu Jan 31, 2008 at 04:48:56 PM EST


Can't make this one.

Really wish I could.  Have a great time and I will catch you all next weekend  (8th-10th) for which I plan to be on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday!  

Congrats on snaggin' a Humpday.  Bungie really does community support like no other, and they don't lie about their release dates either.  And finally, Halo 3 is polished like a Plebe's boots.

Well i might be in

if anyone on the east coast is on at a reasonable hour, ie 7-10ish because i have an interview at like 7am across the state so i have to be up early. The interview is to be sponsered to go to a 6 week program over the summer called Governor's Honors. Ive been nominated for my mathematical skills. And if im elected then i get to go to the program for free, and pretty much am automatically allowed into any college i want.
