EVERYONE WHO HAS JOINED THE CLAN NEEDS TO GO AND REGISTER AT BUNGIE.NET
Also: I've created a group for us on Bungie.net that is linked to our clan, which is where the majority of clan activity and info will be in future.
SO EVERYONE PLEASE GO JOIN THE GROUP! (http://bungie.net/fanclub/10161/Group/GroupHome.aspx)
sorry to make you guys sign up for several different things, but unfortunately it doesn't automatically add everyone in your clan to the group (though they'll probably add that feature in the future, at which point i'll feel like an ass).

Question: Can you be in two clans at once?
I second the question.. because that would solve my problems! :)Sadly no. Only one caln at a time, however, you could just use a 2 month trial and have that going for another account so you can be in 2 clans at the same time. :)

We'll try to work this out for you guys once all of the clan features and more things like that are revealed.
We really need serious players, so the more players we get, the better this clan will go, hopefully. The RS3 BA clan didn't work out because nobody was playing it, but that shouldn't be as big of a problem with Halo 2. :)
Will Halo 2 come with an XBL trial? because if so then I'll join the clan.It probally will since Microsoft is really going to be pushing XBL with Halo 2. :)

Like I've talked with some of you before, I'm probably gonna have my own clan because I think it'll be good for helping promote competition. We can have CAG vs. my clan matches. My clan will be created when I get back in the night the game comes out, just not sure what I wanna call it yet. If anyone is interested let me know.

This is what makes Halo 2 so interesting. The ones who aren't active can be booted and it won't affect the clan. Also, the founder of the clan can assign certain members to recruit new players so that the clan stays active and flourishes.
I will only be a part of this clan if I can be assigned to a spot where I can recruit talent to keep the clan flourishing, and I know some good players from playing Counterstrike so damn much (my kill ratio is higher than my death ratio in 2,000 matches)
BTW, I like the name CAG Elites.

yall might see me with a guest from time to time, my wife is throughly addicted to halo 1, and I think she's looking forward to halo 2 just as much if not more than myself
as far as clan experience goes, I was in the #3 quake 2 ctf clan for a period of time way back when...damn those were the days
anywho, if anyone is upto some halo 1 via KAI or xboxconnect, send a pm sometime

I can't promise anything at this point, but if you'd like to reserve a place now regardless please post your Gamertag. We'll probably start making people recruiters down the line if we're having trouble filling matches, but I don't think we'll need that for quite a while.
Also, what does everyone else think of CAG Elite (or CAGE for short)?
I like it, but I'm a bit hesitant since that implies that we're fairly damn good, and I know we have a pretty wide spectrum of skill level here. Thoughts?

10-21-2004, 05:20 PM
I vote just CAG for simplicity. My copy comes in on the 16th. I preordered the special edition but missed the first cutoff by a day or so. I was promised no later then the 16th though...
SteveMcQ
10-21-2004, 05:29 PM
I vote for CAG Elites since I brought it up.
Doesn't matter if we're not the best. Perception can do you some good.
Opens up possibilities for inter-CAG clan matchups. The Elites can be the ones that actually participate on a frequent basis, then we can have other CAG _insert sub name here_ group. You know, instead of each and every CAG starting a league, at least we'll know who's a CAG. Makes the games a little better knowing they're part of our community. Besides, if they screw us over we know where to harass 'em.
Ledhed
10-21-2004, 05:29 PM
I vote for the simple CAG as well. Due to the large size limit, I don't see a need to break it down by region either. I fear having to explain the acronym though. What first jumps to your mind when you hear the phrase "Cheap Ass Gamer"? :lol:

Apparently, you did not own Black Arrow, which was the first game to implement XBL 2.0 and clan support. It has all of those features that you just mentioned. Booting players does not mean that you will have people playing. Out of the 25-ish people that signed up, the most we ever had online at once was 8. The amount of people frequently active was much lower then that.
And it seems CAGE will be resurrected in Halo. Good to see. [CAGE] your_name_here !

I'm going to wait & see how the competition plays out. From what I've heard you cannot switch clans after commiting to one. Which would be a pain in the ass if I ever wanted to switch...
rocksolidaudio
10-22-2004, 12:25 AM
I really really doubt that you're stuck with one clan after you pick it. Bungie doesn't seem like the type to add restrictive features...
manofpeace20
10-22-2004, 12:31 AM
Its only one clan at a time. Either way, if you are worried about it, don't commit. There will be plenty of slots a few weeks after Halo 2 is released.
31 people already. I still think that we'll need to have more than 1 clan, since we should have alot of people wanting to join this. As I told rocksolid, we can also ask guys to "sub" for one clan if they're short of guys online. We'll just see how this plays out. This thread will either be very successful, or a complete bomb.
Halo 2 got a 9.7/10 from OXM for the people who live under a rock. Looks like the multiplayer will be very good.

I'm excited for this clan thing and Halo 2, but one thing has me worried... http://xbox.ign.com/articles/558/558570p1.html
Matchmade games are ranked games, where you have almost no control over the type of game you play, whom you play with, or what maps you play on.
How the hell do you have clan matches when you can't get together and play against another clan? Sure there are unranked matches, but that kinda makes the whole clan system kind of pointless...

clan matches will be different than matchmade games. our practices can be ranked or unranked (unranked if we want to pick the level specifics, ranked if we just play together as a "party" using random map choices), and as far clan-vs-clan matches, i'm sure they'll accommodate. no one needs to worry about the specifics, i know bungie has big plans for clan support, and i'm sure it will work better than any game yet.

I'm sure there will be a way to quit the clan, but you can only be in one clan at a time. It wouldn't make sense if you couldn't quit, or someone could just boot you.
rywateska
10-22-2004, 05:23 PM
But if your booted would you be able to join another clan? Would it hurt your rank? Etc...?
I'm suprised there hasen't been as much information given out about this.
rocksolidaudio
10-22-2004, 06:08 PM
again, i really wouldn't worry about this. i don't know of any games where you can't quit a clan, or where quitting a clan affects rating. this clan system will be at least as good as the best ones out there now.

i just did a bit of research, and it appears for now all you can make on bungie.net is a "group" in the '7th column' section, which is in a transitional period of sorts. i know that integration with halo 2 and live is the idea, but i think soon enough they'll have a very clear, specific way to start up a clan page and member list and such. i think we should give it a week and see what changes, if not i'll just start up a group. pm me sj41 and we'll organize a chat time again.

If a 2 month card comes with Halo 2 I will be sure to set up XBL. Not sure about a gamertag yet, since I have to share it with my brother.
I checked the Bungie site, and I have no clue how to setup our clan. Do whatever you can, rock.

I don't believe Bungie will actually have the clan feature up until the game launches. Like rocksolid said, we can only make a 7th Column group. We'll just have to sit tight until launch.

everyone up to this point has been added. our clan name will henceforth be, simply, "CAG", unless someone comes up with a better one before launch day. also, i'm hoping that next thursday when i go to the chicago ilovebees thingy i'll be able to talk to a bungie rep who can give me the complete lowdown on clans. either way, we'll have everything set up a couple days after launch by the absolute latest, most likely before that.
as for the question about the keyboard/mouse combo, i will now quote my own website for an answer:
"Jonah asked me tonight whether I think the SmartJoy FRAG, a new keyboard/mouse adapter for XBox and PS2, will ruin online gaming, specifically Halo 2. It's a good question, and it seems the gaming community has been buzzing about it since yesterday sometime. Fears of people dominating Halo 2 unfairly, hot dogs being snatched out of open hands, and general grey-matter implosion might be commonplace, but not to worry. What people seem to be forgetting en masse is that Bungie already has counter-measures set up for this by way of their online ranking and matching systems. Based on your performance, you're placed with players of a generally similar, slightly higher skill level from your second game onwards; the more you play the more accurate it will get, one can assume. So even if the keyboard/mouse combo does give players a significant advantage, which I don't think it will (more on that in a second), they'll soon be playing in rooms populated solely by their cheat-attempting douchebag brethren. That, and the people willing to shell out $75+ for the whole package will be the vast minority of Halo 2 players.
Though as I said, I don't think that this will give people an advantage whatsoever when it comes down to it. The movement and look speeds will still be limited by the game settings, and any good player (such as my immodest self) knows that when you want to go somewhere or shoot something, you do it. The limitations and challenge come in the form of reflexes, knowing the level and your weapons, and anticipating your opponents. None of that changes with a mouse in your hand. If anything, I can move my thumb a hell of a lot faster than my whole hand, and more subtly too. So that's that. No worries. This game needs to come out already so we can stop coming up with reasons why it won't be awesome."

EVERYONE WHO HAS JOINED THE CLAN NEEDS TO GO AND REGISTER AT BUNGIE.NET
Their clan features will go live next week (assumably monday night) at which point I'll be setting up our clan and adding everyone. To take advantage of all of their features and awesome stat-tracking, you need to be signed up and have your Gamertag linked to your name. If you already have hotmail i suggest using that .Net info, it makes it easier to sign up and such.
And if you doubt the coolness of the things you'll be able to do, check out this example of a screen you can view after every game showing where you were and what you were using when you kill/were killed.

the problem with many smaller groups basically comes down to people showing up. an eight-person group pretty much needs everyone there for it to be fun, which rarely happens. also, we will play tourneys, but against other clans - that's the whole idea. we might split it down further than it is, but we'll determine that once we see how it goes with everyone, especially since we don't know specifically how their clan system works yet. don't worry about it, we'll make sure it's fun for everyone even if we have to change things to do so. finally, people need to stop saying "i'll join the clan if blah blah blah happens". i really don't care if you go your own way, i started this to have fun online with whomever else wants to, and we don't need your membership.

- log in to bungie.net, go to 'my profile' and go to 'live friends' - if everything is set up right, you should see your friends list
- they need to recognize it to track your stats when you're playing
- the clan website will be on bungie.net next week
- the purpose is so we can organize matches and communicate with each other online, as well as track our stats and performance individually and as a clan

Never mind about the Clan deal, I have the info from Bungie's FAQs:
"Q
How do I create a Clan?
A
To create a Halo 2 Clan, log into Xbox Live and then hit "Y" to bring up your friends menu. If you press right, you'll come to a tab called "Clan." If you're not already a member of a clan, you will have the option to create one. Your clan must have a unique name."
"Q
Can I be in more than one Clan at a time? How many people can I have?
A
No, you can only be in 1 Clan at any given time. Each Clan can have 100 members."
"Q
What can I do with my Clan on Bungie.net?
A
Once you have a Clan in Halo 2 on Live, come to Bungie.net to create a home. Visit the Community section and create a group. We use the term group to refer to the various fansites that exist within Bungie.net - whether they are Halo 2 Clans or 7th Column Chapters. Create one and you and your friends will have a little place to call home complete with your own forums, news, databases and more. You can then link your newly created group page to your Clan for easy access to your clan stats."
rocksolidaudio
11-08-2004, 02:28 PM
yeah, the stats page has been up for about a week. they're going to be launching a whole new site though, including clan stuff, assumably tonight. so no, we won't likely be playing our first game together tonight, but definitely some time this week.
cronnos
11-08-2004, 02:33 PM
One thing from the FAQs is not very clear to me still though... ok, you (rocksolidaudio) are going to create the clan from the Xbox Live menu in the game, but do we have to be in your friends list already to be able to join? After created, can we join through Bungie.net?
rocksolidaudio
11-08-2004, 02:42 PM
i don't think, and i'm hoping, that it doesn't have anything to do with your friends list. i'm assuming of course, but i imagine that i'll create the clan on bungie's website, which will then be accessible through xbox live. this is all a shot in the dark until the specifics are revealed, but i'm sure it will be intuitive to set up and join, and i'll do all of the legwork i can.

If it is done like Rainbow Six BA a clan is created online in the live menu of the game. You then can invite anyone to join your clan. Just type in the gamertag of the person and it will send them a clan invite. Just accept and you'll be part of the clan. It is pretty simple, kind of like send someone a friend reuqest throught the dashboard but using the game to do it.

That seems correct according to Bungie's FAQs about clans, which I posted a couple of posts ago. rocksolidaudio, I think you are gonna have to create the clan on Xbox, and then send invites, seems tedious, but we are only 57 or some members.

Rock and SJ, realize you can appoint admins or deputies to assist you in your clan creation work. Everyone should link their live tags and have thier stuff organized up and running today.

Do you have a .NET Passport? You need to link your tag to your .NET Passport (which you should have if you registered at bungie.net). After that, you can track your stats online.

Is it an invite through the game? Or is it supposed to just be an XBL friend request? I don't have the game yet...and I also don't have any friend requests.

I registered on bungie.net last night and clicked the link gamer tag link, it took me to the xbox website with no option to do anything was that right? I hope so.
Do you have a .NET Passport? You need to link your tag to your .NET Passport (which you should have if you registered at bungie.net). After that, you can track your stats online.
All the info you could possibly need is right here (http://www.bungie.net/Help/Page.aspx?section=gamertag&subsection=main&page=1) .
Cool, I will check it out when I get home from work. I have had a .net acct since way back in my Asheron's Call Days. Can not believe I remembered the password.

Im pretty sure my gamertag is linked at bungie.net, but how do I tell for sure? Since I just signed up for Xbox live today, I don't have any live friends, so i can't check that way.
Edit: I am linked. Did a search for my name and my gamertag is linnked.

cool, im in the clan recieved a clan invite from audio. It is easy, all that I did was move over with the R button in the friends list to the clan list. If you aren't in a clan you don't have anything there except create a clan. But if audio sends you an invite you will join the clan. The clan is called cheapassgamer.

Thanks a lot, you jerks. I was playing and got kicked. I don't know what happened. It showed red players (my team) as the enemy, and the aliens as the green team. I killed the red guys, which apparently was my team, and I was booted. I couldn't hear anyone else talking and everyone else was just floating around. I guess I had some kind of bug or something. I remember accidentally running over Stealthy, and I said sorry over the mic but I heard no response.
So yeah. I played, comcast died on me, I came back, played a few rounds, then it showed my team as the enemies and the enemies as my team and everyone was floating around. So sorry if you guys got pissed off at me.

I lagged on blood gulch and I was riding on the warthog while a guy who was driving was lagging. My cable modem has been just.. randomly disconnecting like every few damn minutes for the past two or three weeks and i'm almost ready to take a 12 gauge to it.

I just played 14 straight hours of Liveplay on this game- my thumbs hurt but its totally worth it. Thanks for the invites.
I'd have to say I like CTF on Zanzibar, Swords on Lockout and Assault on Headlong- I love the new maps.
Also got to teh 5th chapter of campaign and the story is interesting tho much of the gameplay and levels feel similar to the original.
Hope to see more of you on tomorrow.

When the credits start rollin', that's a good sign that you've beaten the game. You'll know when you're getting near, you can feel it.
Disappointing, though. The game throws TONS and TONS of enemies, ALL AT ONCE. There's the chewbacca things, the mini guys, the flying fuckers that have guns.. but you can run right past them. I think I died.. once? in story mode. Granted, it was on easy, but even on easy, it's pretty hard. It just.. ends rather abruptly.

He didn't ask "when can you tell that the game is over," he asked "how can you tell how far you are." I'm glad there is no number assigned to the levels. I don't want to go into a mission knowing it's the last one.

also wanted to say that i had a ton of fun playing with everyone today; playing with people from CAG made this already awesome game even better. the wheels for proper clan play are in motion, so bear with us as we get accustomed with the way the system works. about half of the people on the list have accepted their clan invite, and i imagine most will have by the end of the week. in the meantime, i have a question for anyone - what clan options do you have from the main clan menu? it's hard for me to know the normal options given to a clan member since i'm overlord, and i'm just trying to figure out what i can do at this point that you guys can't (besides invite and boot people). so, details please.
Ledhed
11-10-2004, 03:00 AM
what clan options do you have from the main clan menu?
The only thing I've noticed is the option to invite other people into the clan. I'm not sure exactly how it works. I don't know if someone can immediately join after I invite them, or if it sends a request to you (overlord) which must be approved. Either way, anyone who wants to join can simply post here.

No, it tracks the stats of everything you play on Live. Only ranked matches count towards you rank though, obviously. But every kill you make, where you kill, what you use to kill, medals, flag/bomb routes, everything is tracked and archived. I can't believe this feature was never really touted in the press, because so far its the most amazing thing I've seen from the package as a whole.

I know exactly where you're coming from. I jumped on Live for about 45 minutes last night, and I was a just-slightly-better-than-500 player, where I used to be well above it. I think I need to up my look speed or something.
