I'm not touching the preview beta program.

Running a BETA operating system on your ONLY piece of hardware is extremely risky I don't recommend it.

Even a couple people in here who have had it it messed up their gaming experience a couple times

Will you be able to stream pandora while playing games?

Assasssin's Creed 4



Diablo 3

 

[ijumpmani]

Last night went from deep and philosophical to down right raunchy

I'll be on tonight around 9 if anyone is down to run a few games

With that said, I'd like to get the ball rolling on the Halo 2v2 tournament. I'm not too sure how we want to handle which Halo we would play within the tourney, I say we play H2C (BR start, no radar, etc) but I know some people love H1, H3 and non-"MLG" settings. Based on the turnout, we can decide if we will do a round robin or bracket. Suggestions are appreciated.

If interested, leave a message

Thanks everyone!

 

[shottadru]

Highly doubt you will be able to steam and play...if you can the app will probably havre to be snapped.

You can snap it to the side and play. But it won't play in the background

 

[davizzy]

^thanks guys. Background music while playing would be

Playing Diablo 3 solo would make me depressed.  Coop is though

If interested, leave a message with the following (only one per team please):
- Team Name
- Team Members
- Time Zone

Thanks everyone!

The last one I signed up on had H2 and H3 gametypes that went into a voting pool of three gametypes so you'd get three choices, Lockout BRs, Guardian BRs, or Sanc BRs. If theres a deadlock then the first option wins just like MatchMaking. 

Best of three series with alternating hosts.

The random teams thing is still an idea that should be used, letting people pick teams is just going to lead to stacked teams and ruin it for everybody.

I feel like you'd have to play with radar on too. Playing with no radar would just cause people not to want to play

There will never be a consensus on this

I'm in for a tournament with CE and 2 only. Pair me with whoever (read: Antidope)

Thanks man, I appreciate the insight.

I agree that randomizing team and maps (across all 3 original games) would lead to more balanced play. As for radar and starting weapons, I'll let everyone post their thoughts.

 

[AEA18]

I gotta figure out why I can't get into a match, definitely want to get in on a NT tourney

 

[stick]

I'm down for a Halo tourney. I'd prefer H2C, H3, BR starts, Radar ON. A 2v2 game with no radar just seems like it'd be a little stale imo.

 

[Velle47]

Pandora...gonna have a good time with that. I need info on that popcornflix no additional charge thing like dru said

For what its worth, if I had a say in it, there would be no radar.

I'm convinced its player population.

I wish they'd show the numbers.

But its probably embarassing

Will move xbone to bedroom if I can do this.

In for a halo 2v2 tourney. Haven't played since launch.. Sorry whoever is my teammate.

 

[xxpizzo]

I'd be in for a 2v2 don't care who the teammate is as long as I'm having fun win/lose

 

[blastercombo]
