Future Halo 2 Tourn.

12/06/06 11:39 am | #1

i know imma noobie around here and all but i just looked at the archive of the halo 2 tournament..i understand its not my place to give orders and that is the last thing im doing here by any means...this is the suggestion forum and well im here to give my suggestion/input...anyways here it goes

by the looks of it the halo 2 tournament was successful as far as regulating it goes but as an AGP halo 1 tournament finalist and a MLG enthusiast (not saying the MLG gametypes are amazing..just the way they run the tournaments) i think that the settings you guys played were...well a bit..lame? to put it nicely...acsension was a good map choice for FFA but waterworks? zanzibar is alright too but the time limit was absurdly long...well now its time for some positive criticizism! lol

in the future i think (as far as FFA tournaments go) it should be the first person to 25 or 50 gets first place obviously and their points and who ever gets 2nd 3rd 4th etc gets their points respectively also..the maps for FFA should be small not amazingly big like waterworks...ivory tower, turf, warlock, ascension, etc those are the maps you should play FFA

the max. people in a FFA should be 10...12 if u wanna push it a little bit but at any rate these are just loose idea's and i dont wanna preach to the choir anymore than i have so if people would like to hear more of my suggestions you guys will ask

other than that i would really like to play a role in future tournaments as far as competing AND organizing the tournament...

and for the heck of it ill throw in a poll for people who think im HEADED in the right direction with my ideas..
~A F 1 G 3~

::EDIT:: eh so i kinda rigged the poll with the option of YES only...i run a dictatorship..haha jk i cant edit the poll and i messed up soo zoboa please edit the poll so the options are Yes No and Eh, sorta

Yup, I put it together and knew they sucked when we did it, and a lot of that was on purpose. The intent was to throw people out of their comfort zone by making them play on the bigger (and less popular) maps with the longer time frame. Because of the bigger maps, the thinking was kills were expected to take longer, so we put in the lengthy time limits so that there were ample chances for anyone to make a move or catch up.

The tournament had a lot of no-shows at the last minute and it was also impacted by the huge Roadrunner outage in Ohio that weekend. In fact, the way we played didn't match up with most of the rules we had in place. The maps and times were accurate, but we winged the rest.

As far as what and why we did it, it was more an experiment than anything. At the time Xbox Ohio was a site pigeon holed to Ohio 360 players with about 12 really active members. Knowing that we were about to evolve the site into its current state, I wanted to see how a tourney would work. We learned a lot to put it mildly. In addition, as we continue to add people like you, Hecktic and Breaker that are very active contributors, we will get more input (ALWAYS encouraged, we are very much a community driven site) to make things better for everyone.

Yea, it was a first tournament and an experiment. Our tournaments should get more and more organized as we go.
