Halo 2 HTF Clan - Page 2

Halo 2 (the LE at least) comes with a 2 month free trial. Since you're using a free trial I'm guessing you don't have the headset, right? I don't have Live yet and haven't tried the trial since I thought it would be pointless without the headset. How's it working out for you?



I bought an El-cheapo HIP GEAR headset for $20... it works great for now, I don't know how it compares to the official MS ($30) one though.





That said, I often play Burnout 3 (racing) on Live without the headset. I can hear the chatter through speakers, but don't feel the need to talk to anyone really.





Still, FPS on Live without a headset is probably not a good idea. I did it for a day or two but you need one to enjoy the full experience of team work and such.

We really should combine these Clans, if someone truly is running a HTF clan.



As for the headsets, I actually sprung for the new in-ear headpiece (Halo 2 edition) and I gotta say the improvement is unreal. I love this thing, I wanna be a telemarketer and just talk to people on it. lol. Anyways, it is 50 bux and you need the communicator piece to plug it in, so it isn't cheap, but if you find the MS one to be uncomfortable, it's a formidable option!



Hope to see you guys on Live.

All right so it looks like well have a competing clan on the board that should be fun. Some have suggested combining both clans. I suppose that we could or we could just compete against one another. I donÕt really care. Anyhow to answer a few questions. First the way the clan works is that we form a big giant team. Different people on the team can be assigned different roles. Right now I am the Admin. I have no problem relinquishing control to someone who might be more involved in the future. As of now IÕm just trying to get as many of us as possible organized and if anyone wants to take over or wants to Co-Admin the group let me know. I will assign people to the position of being able to send out more invites to our clan as it can be tough for just one person. After we have all accepted the invites we will move on to some games and develop our clan a bit more. I have grad class tonight but after I will be adding people to the clan.





IÕd like for the future of the clan to be able to arrange some time throughout the week so when we can all meet up and play together online. If anyone has any ideas on what times are best let me know! We are also going to need a place to post all of our information. I donÕt have a web site so I guess for now we can just post any updates, questions, and information here. I believe bungie.net will provide our clan with a small page. I will set this page up hopefully by this weekend. Once we get a little more organized(hopefully by Friday?) we can all get on live and play some other clans! IÕm not a crazy serious player I just like to have some fun and compete with other people. So I guess if your life is devoted to Halo 2 24/7 this would not be the best clan for you.





So I would like to take any advice any of you might have. Also If anyone wants to come up with some type of logo or something that would be cool. If you have received the invitation just click to accept it. IÕll do the best I can to get them out as quickly as possible but anyone that wants to help would be great. So IÕm going to say IÕll probably be on playing tonight around 8:30ish eastern time. So if anyone wants to meet then for some informal gaming and conferencing that would be great! WeÕll just party up together and play a few rounds and discuss the clan. Hopefully we can arrange some HTF vs HTF2 matches or some HTF2 vs DVDTalk matches....hahaha.... See you all tonight!!!

Maybe there should be two HTF clans...perhaps HTF East Coast and HTF West Coast clans. It may be easier to set up clan matches this way, both intra- and inter-clan matches. 9:00p PST online gaming is pretty late for us in EST or CST time zones.

Michael, looks like HTF clan was started by HTF member right about the same time.

That link seems to be dead. Perhaps the two threads were combined? Considering we can have up to 100 members in a clan, why not just have one for the HTF folks?

Ditto what they said. I'm all about getting better and fragging the shit out of my opponent, but I don't think Halo works that well as an ultra-competitive game. I really am enjoying the stats stuff that's available at Bungie.net.


Michael, I'll volunteer to help you invite/accept/organize clan members. (Considering how neat the stats are, I'm rather intrigued to see what the Bungie clan page looks like!)


I'll drop you an instant message when you log on later tonight.

I agree about one clan. I'm sure that we can handle splitting ourselves up amongst the clan itself regarding Coast's, and I'd hate to see us split up once other forums come a'knockin!.



Ditto about not being Overly serious, just friends having some fun.



I know a little html too and should be free this weekend so if you need help with that webpage Michael I can help out.



Or I'll set up a geocities site with whatever news / player lists / etc. you wanna put on it. Not gonna dedicate my life to it, but I can def. help out a lot.



Will try to be on tonight, and if not def. tomorrow night.



Happy Halo-ing

As follow up to the East & West Coast clan recommendation, may I also suggest a good dividing line to use to determine which clan a person should join/belong to be the Mississippi River, i.e., if you live east of the Mississippi River, then you join the East Coast clan. Conversely, if you live west of the Mississippi River, then you join the West Coast clan.

How do you join the clan? That is if they are already created. Do you go through the Bungie website or through Live?

East Coast Vs. West Coast works ok but I feel that a unified HTF clan will work better.

Perhaps we could compromise and unify to make one HTF clan but than play play East Coast Vs. West Coast games against eachother sometimes.

I've already requested to have my gamertag (Cletus Vandam) invited to the clan, FWIW I'm on the East coast.

I agree Keith, re: a unified clan. But the best reasons for the split of East/West is 1) the time difference, and 2) server performance.

I am not sure how live works, but once I am in the clan do all of the other members get put on my buddylist, or do I have to enter all of them?

I'm not sure about how Clans work, Im only 3/4 the way thru the game so far, and I havent even tried to go Live with it, but I'm definetly down. Im pretty sure my gamertag is B1oodthirst (the first L is acctually the #1) and Im on the East Coast if its gonna matter.

If you wanna split up teams via East coast/west coast, you could just do Blue states Vs. Red states. (United States of Canada Vs. Jesus Country) [img]images/smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Just Kidding. I think we should just all group up together, cause I think we can split up to do battles anyhow, plus if annother clan wants a piece, we wont be split up.

Did the two threads get combined?

BTW, I dont live for Halo, which means Ive gotten my ass handed to me quite a few times using XB-Connect. But Im not a beginner, more Intermediate. But I play for fun.

The good news is, we're getting a lot of members. Once you join, a new page is added to the friends section, called Clan. This lists every member of the clan and who is online, etc. This shows up automatically, so don't worry about adding people to friends lists, b/c you really don't even have to.





The bad news is that me and Michael (Mixie189) played our first minor clan match last night and pretty much got our butts handed to us.





IF you want to play as a clan, you must get a party together of only HTF2'ers, and then change the game type to Minor or Major Clan Match. Then, you will become a team and play against people from another clan.





To check the stats for the clan online, use Bungie's website or this link should work: HTF2 On Bungie Anyways, I have the day off today so I may pop in from time to time, and if not during the day then def. at night. If you get a chance try to play with the clan members a little to get some teamworking going, so that we can increase that record.





Happy Halo-ing

Guys I want in, my tag is DreadMantis.







Started playing a few games last night and it was not pretty. And I was dissapointed with how long it took just to get in a game, only to have the game last all of 3-5minutes.

That's okay, as long as you had fun, that is all that matters. Just next time try to get at least one kill[img]images/smilies/smile.gif[/img]







Clan matches might be fun, but I think playing with other HTF-ers will be cool. That way you are not always playing against random people.
