We're Alive Community playdate 04/02/11- Halo: Reach

[StepLaugh]

Hey everyone,

If you guys remember a couple months ago, Kc and Grayson held a Community Playdate Event on Halo: Reach?

Well let's do it again.

Let's round everyone up, and have an awesome night of good times, laughs, and well...killing of course.

Here's how this is going down.
Since my friend's list is all full. I'll make a We're Alive Gamertag that people can add, and we can use the Friends of Friends method. Which is just like a whole new set of friends list.
Account: (Forge Friends, at least for now.)

Be sure to "sign up" with your gamertag below, so we can have a rough count of how many people to expect.


Information:
Game: Halo Reach (xbox360)
Date: Saturday April 2nd
Time: Starts at 8 pm EST (5 pm PST) - Until whenever.

This is just another great way that this wonderful community can get together and know each other more, and of course show off your skills. Also if you're not that good at the game, don't worry we're not going to play to win every time. BTW get ready to play some Zombie Gametypes.

Sadly I'm not sure if Kc will be able to make it this time due to working on the latest episode, but who needs him anyways :p

Also if this works out, we can keep doing it every/every other week, or once a month and do it with different games/consoles.

Well if you have a ps3, then some week soon we might play a game on that. Though I don't have one personally.

[Hellbringer]

Do we need to have the latest map pack for the playdate? I haven't played Halo in about a month or so, thus my not buying the Defiant map pack yet. If all goes well, my son and I can jump on

GT (mine): Hellbringer X
GT (his): Treecko Master

[itsallgoodie]

I dont think we are playing with the new maps at least not this time. if we are, Im boned.

I dont have the map pack either, so we should all be ok.

I might end up buying it anyways.... just got an ad from Microsoft. Basically, it gives the Defiant Map Pack for half price. See below:

Buy It, Play It,
Get 400 Microsoft PointsPurchase Halo: Reach - Defiant Map Pack or Halo: Reach Games on Demand from April 1st to May 15th, 2011 and get 400 Microsoft Points.


hmmmm.... there was HTML and stuff in there, but I guess I copied it wrong.

[ObamaCat]

Does everyone have the Noble pack at least? I remember I panicked and bought it for the first Community playdate :p

[Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo]

i would be down to join later in the night after the mlg broadcast, add me: TrggaMan

[Hellbringer]

I have the Noble map pack. I'm looking for more details on that Defiant Map Pack (whether we play it or not, 5 bucks for 3 maps is fine by me).

[Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo]

personally, i like the defiant maps more than the noble

[ObamaCat]

Just got the defiant map pack today. I also think it's better than noble.

Yeah I'd get it. I think it's a great deal. Plus you can spend the 400 points on Undead Nightmare (50% off till April 4). At least that's what I plan on spending the points on....

[I The K Train I]

I have no map packs -_- haven't played Reach properly in a while and I don't have the funds to buy them today. I hope thats not a problem.

Damn alcohol ruining my funds

[Anghil]

If there's still room I'm adding my friend to the roster

irish saint jim

[Hollomandious]

I like the idea of this community playdate thang. Just wish it was for something I play/own.

Sad me.

[I The K Train I]

Balls!! I thought it was happening at 5pm EST? Just read the first post there again and it's 8pm EST it's starting. I wont be able to play guys, thats a bit too late for me. It'll be like 1am here at that stage. I have work in the morning, unfortunately, otherwise I'd well stay up and play.

Maybe next time :(

Thats too bad, Ill take you off the list just so we can see the total of people that we have. We will play earlier next time!

[Hellbringer]

We didn't play with any map packs last time, but I'm ready if we do for this play date. Just downloaded the Defiant map pack... and there went my "completed game" status. At least for now.

[StepLaugh]

Alright guys, 30 more mins!!!

[itsallgoodie]

you got it im on now.

[AdrianHD]

Darn =/ I got plans tonight and I just seen this. I'd love to join next playdate though.

[Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo]

I'm on now if you wanna inv me

[itsallgoodie]

I'm on now if you wanna inv me

add me and ill invite you. itsallgoodie

[itsallgoodie]

well dare I say that was a huge success. We should do it again soon, I'm thinking we should shoot for weekly playlists. if not, bi-weekly. if not then can we all agree that we are all bi-winning?

[ObamaCat]

well that was fun, I think we should shoot for weekly playlists. if not, bi-weekly. if not then can we all agree that we are all bi-winning?

Agreed to all of those statements. I'm thinking next time we should do some Black Ops so we can include more peeps.

[itsallgoodie]

Black Ops

no has. im game for MW 1 or 2 though?

[ObamaCat]

no has. im game for MW 1 or 2 though?

Either of those work for me as well.

[Hellbringer]

Either of those work for me as well.

I had fun last night, and I can dust off any of the CODs to play. Definitely got to do it again.

Would love to go for Left 4 Dead, but I think the max we'd ever get to play on a server is 8. If only Fifa 11 had a zombie mode.

[itsallgoodie]

I would be down for L4D problem is that like you said it would only be for 8 people and that could be bad, i say we leave it as a back up if we want a "playdate" and not many people can make it as for fifa if i had it i would play but i dont and probably wont get it. =\

[ObamaCat]

I have L4D2 but not the first. Perhaps we should start a thread and see what games people have and plan playdates accordingly?

not a bad idea. would you like to start it or would you rather i do?

[ObamaCat]

Don't mind if I do :). I'm guessing this would be under the Everything Else section?
