[quote name='zewone']I like the idea of trimming and getting some more strategy in the clan. We are a good bunch of players, but we never seem as cordinated as the higher ranked clans we play. And we are finally getting some more communication going which is great. I'm starting to become familar with the way a lot of the clan members play and I'm sure you guys are picking up on it too. As we go along we will get better as we have shown.[/quote]

We didn't do too bad in the CTF match you, jugster and I played in, did we? It was a squeaker, 1-0, but it was a win. :D

The bombing game wasn't as good, but that was the first game us three had done together.
 
Being the opportunist that I am, I'll gladly take the abandoned if you guys reduce your clan size. :)

If your group is really large you might wanna consider reducing the size so you have some built in competition. That's one reason I haven't joined a clan on some of the boards I frequent.
 
Im not in the caln, but I wouldn't break up the clan, I mean 97 people is great cause when I was in teh clan, lots of people were never on...
 
On smaller maps, I'm pretty reliable for kills. Since there are fewer distance weapons in Halo 2, I lose my luster the larger the map gets. I'd like to think I'm a good communicator, especially during objective games like CTF and Assault. I can't drive vehicles for shit though. I used to be pretty cunning with the hog, but without the fishtail I never get it to go where I want it to.

Basically, as long as I'm not driving, I float pretty well. I don't think I really exceed at anything, and much of my "skill" is based on luck.

The more I trust another player, the more aggressive I feel I can be when grouped with him. When I have really reliable players like zewone at my back, I feel I can afford more chances and try things I wouldn't normally try alone. This kind of connection and communication is what makes the difference during objective games. If you walk into a base thinking you're going to die, you will. This is why communication is important. The more we all play together and the more we communicate, the more comfortable we can be when trying to organize a strategy.

Like rock said, we don't need to be hardcore, but we do need to comfortable with one another and be ready to organize ourselves when the time comes. The more we play together, the more close and comfortable we naturally become. Everybody keep up the good work. :wink:
 
[quote name='rocksolidaudio'][quote name='CheapyD']Breaking up the clan would be a big mistake.
The best part of the clan, IMHO, is that its so easy to get together with 4-8 guys pretty much anytime.

Break up the clan and you throw that right out the window.

yeah, i have to agree with that as well. it's nice getting on and almost always having someone familiar (or at least not a douchebag) to play with.

i appreciate all the work and ideas you're bouncing around mookyjooky, but there's a couple problems. only about a sixth of the clan (at most) shows up to practice as it is, and splitting it up further would just make it tougher to play together at all, nevermind have serious strategical practices. i think that's something for down the line a bit, when we have less members (those who don't participate will be cut soon) and pretty much all know one another's limits at least a little bit.

for now, i think playing together with whomever you find online in team slayer or big team battle or whatever helps, just to get people communicating and making sure people are on the same page as you. people certainly have to come to terms with their own strengths and weaknesses, but as someone said, they should be doing that in-game anyhow. i do like the idea of assigning roles, but i think that's also a month or so away while we weed out the people who aren't really interested in this and get the serious players playing together more often (more practices?).

i guess i'm just trying to keep this somewhat casual, because i enjoy playing with everyone and having people to play with online whenever i get on, while starting to inject some modicum of strategy and order into our matches. i've been promoting a lot of people, and i expect them to lead their respective games and not hesitate to give orders. as i said, the member list will be trimmed very soon, and those who are never seen online (or never play with the clan) will be gone. the smaller our clan gets the more serious it will get, just by virtue of the people playing the most wanting something more out of it.

just some thoughts. what does everyone else think? maybe i'm wrong about all this...[/quote]

Don't be too quick to cut people, I know I for one have been too busy with papers and studying to play lately.

That's been the case for many, including myself. The holiday break should reveal the faithful though. Still, unless we have a huge waiting list at some point, I doubt anyone will be cut to begin with.
 
Didn't read all the pages but I'd like to join the clan my tag is Soulja874. The only problem is I don't have a mic and won't get one til I get my car fixed. If there is $$$ left over I'll get the 12 month pack.

well, i actually would like to start cutting people soon. no one who participates obviously, but i'll put up a list of people who are on the chopping block and if no one can vouch for them (or vouch for themselves) within a couple of days, they're gone. i just don't see the point of keeping them on if they're never even online, and it's already a hassle managing such a large list.

Good point. The less work for you, the better.

Make a list of the potential cuts, and also spam a message to all the clan members describing what you're plans are and what to do to prevent being cut.

will do.
 
I want in, fellas. I just got done for the night, though. Gamertag = Slappye. I have been playing for 12 hours now. Time for CAG.
 
Last night was great. We played until abou 1:15 PT, and most of the time I played with most of you guys, like JimmieMac, Zewone, Ryan W, Harmaket, Shesmovedon, Mrmajicjeff, Dante Devil, AcidFlames, and at the end I played a couple of rounds with Rocksolidaudio
 
Snipers...... I hate god damn snipers!!! Big team battles against another team that all has sniper rifles and Battle rifles is no fun at all..... Ughhhhh..... Snipers SUCK
 
Heh, last night was fun playin with fellow CAG members. Got a few triple kills with the Rocket L:auncher ;).
 
[quote name='Ledhed']Great games tonite fellas. JimmieMac is one funny shaq-fuing guy. His gametypes are even funnier.

Silly bastard. :lol: :wink:[/quote]

:lol: yes he is

It's always funny to be in the postgame stats screen and hear Jimmie tear apart 14 year old kids who think they're hot shit.
 
I couldn't play on Sat even though I was online. I showing my friend how great Halo 2 on XBL is and he's never played before. I didn't want him to noob the place up.

Do you remember that Arikoro guy, im sure I butchered his gamertag, but that guy was A BEAST. I had the fortunate opportunity to be on his team (and win). Go team blue!!!! Last night was fun, but don't you think we should be practicing our strategy for our clanmatches? Don't get me wrong, shottys and rockets on midship is fun and all, but it wears thin after a while.

As many people will have more time during this Christmas season, I will be on more frequently. So see you guys on, my name is My Bee Itches . If you need a good support guy that is excellent in the ghost give me a ring.

He's right, playing custom games is all fine and good but we really need to get some offensive and defensive plays for the various big team battle/team skirmish maps.

Every other game is good practice. Also when we play against each other its very easy to see who excels at what.
 
Oh how could i have forgotten about Arikido, he is a beast and its great how he is now an official CAG, and why do we always play custom games when we are all grouped together. we need to play some team skirmish against each other

I have to agree on that, playing CTF on that 6 on 6 game late Friday night was damn funny with JimmieMac and his commentary. :lol:

I've been trying to track you down in a game, LedHead, and I'm curious to see if the commentary would be the same. :D

I have to agree there, I was happy he was on my side during CTF and assault, and afraid when it was on slayer.

The guy is quite good.

The games you, jlarleee and I were in went pretty well Friday night, when we were figuring out what to do.

I like playing harassment and piss off the other side in CTF to let the other guys do a snatch-and-grab or bomb drop in assault.

I try to be flexible and do what needs to get done. Even find the snipers with the suddenly grown hole in my head.
 
[quote name='JimmieMac']I hate the fact that some of you cats have different names here then you do on XBL.[/quote]

Always nice to have a little consistency around here. :D

okay, RGuth
 
Thanks for putting up with my unskilled ass on Saturday, guys. Whatever you do... don't stop playing for a week and a half. I swear to god that my skills deteriorated back to the noob level.

Anyway, good games - I look forward to the next set of battles.

It's about having fun man, no need to worry about skill level.

Also, sorry for rubbing some of those kills into ya. Usually I try to be very humble about my playing. Saturday was an exception. :lol: :wink:
 
Man I wish my GF would get a new job, ever since she got fired she has been around 24/7, leaving me with very little Halo 2 time. She's got some interviews today so I am crozzing my fingers.

Let's hope you're crossing your fingers that she's going to get that new job, not because you want her to leave you alone. :lol:

No problem, Ledhed. I've been playing games online since the early 90's so I can take a bit of friendly abuse. Good stuff... very entertaining, actually. It added to that atmosphere.

My complaining about my skill level was more of a self realization / cautionary tale thing. Like I said, I look forward to the next set of battles.
 
So, speaking of the ideas of clan training, etc. It'd be helpful for me (and prolly for a few of the other newbies, too) to do a walkthrough of a few of the levels with a more knowledgeable person who could point out where areas of interest (sniper nests, notable weapon spawn points, flag/bomb points, etc.)

I've been mostly playing rumble slayer, so I'm more familiar with those maps. When I go into a team match on a map I've only played twice before I get totally turned around and end up blindly following other people or just being a waste of a body.

So, yeah, anyone want to volunteer for newb tour guide duty?
