Contest HaloCustoms 1v1 Tournament

OfficialCompetition.jpg​
​

Welcome, potential challenger.
A little while back we mentioned that we at Halo Customs are aware of your desire to test your skill, and face whatever your skilled opponent can throw at you. We spoke of discovering new arenas, and that fiery competitive need that drives every player. That is exactly what I'm discussing with you now.


Today, we would like to announce the HaloCustoms 1v1 Unity Tournament. After weeks of planning we have found what are, in our opinion, the best gametype and the best maps for this event. Our very own Dax, at the helm of his new Youtube channel The Halo Network, has brought in the help of a man known as Doju, the creator of the popular competitive Unity gametype. Doju has made a new Unity, designed for 1v1 battles, with which this tournament will be used.
​
Just like our recent minigame competition, the victor of this tournament will have quite the bounty. Gamermodz.com is full of great people, and they've offered a unique controller design for the winner. Battle your way to the top, and you will soon find earn this Gamermodzcustom, modded Xbox controller for yourself.

Sign Up:
Details:
  • Sign ups for the tournament will run until the end of Friday, July 26th, with a follow-up announcement soon afterword to further explain how the rounds will be set up and run.
  • We'll be capping the player limit to 256 players, so don't wait too long to sign up!
  • This will be a double-elimination tournament, so if you lose one game you still have a shot at the title!
The Maps:
We have selected an array of fantastic 1v1 maps for you all to play, and will be revealing them in the following weeks.
  • New maps will be revealed a week before the round they are to be played in
Prizes:
We love Gamermodz. I think they might have a thing for us too, because they have offered us another controller. We don't really have a need for it though, at least that's what Insane tells me, so one of you guys can have it. I just figure that making you shoot each other for it will be more fun than simply giving it away.

• A unique, Halo-themed controller, courtesy of Gamermodz. The website offers their concentration in custom-built gaming controllers, the one we're giving away optionally modded with their SPS-X2 rapidfire mod.​
• Gamermodz's Halo-themed Xbox skin.​

Let the fun begin
Here's your chance to test your aim and your instincts, and maybe even win a controller from Gamermodz in the process. Pick your weapon wisely, because that's all that you'll have when you enter the arena. I wish you all the best of luck.

Have been gone for three weeks now and I'll be back in less than a week. Hope that makes it even :):

BTW, I don't like the weapon choices placed on the maps such as sticky detonator and railgun. Especially the railgun! Those weapons have nothing to do with skill and could bridge a match! Please take this comment to effect because as I play doubles usually their is a guy with tool of destruction railgun because of stupid aim assist and magnetism combined. One shot kill weapons (besides the sniper rifle) shouldn't be in this.

The gametype and maps are fun and balanced, balanced doesnt mean there wont be any power weapons in the maps.
Fighting over these power weapons and map control will be key to win the match (as it has always been in halo).
As soon as we officially release the maps and gametype we can discuss this in detail ;)

Hey buddy, that is for 4v4's. It's different for 1v1's. Teamwork is involved to push someone out of a location along with teamshot but if you are by yourself attempting to get this guy that has a better weapon then you... then yeah... very balanced. not.

so you are trying to say a 1v1 has nothing to do with map control and fighting over power weapons? if the person has a better weapon than you on a 1v1 you already lost the fight over the power weapon because you didnt have map control, its that easy. i wont discuss this any further until the actual release of the maps though ;)

Exactly! You gotta see the maps that are put on and the ordnances that are placed! Finally an intelligent person I can relate to! Thank you for not arguing and coming to a clean solution!

How do we know who we are battling down against first. Don't just trust a KD...Especially mine because I seem to go afk sometimes where I come back to being spawn assassinated

Dax was kind enough to release a new video on The Halo Network detailing this contest with his not text. Take a peek if you're interested in hearing about the details of the competition. There's also some nice gameplay on a map you'll all need to get familiar with real soon. ;)

SpinCycle014 Please re-read my comment. A GREAT halo player was beat in a 1v1 because of someone camping with power weapons. It is good to have weapon control but when it is used in a 1v1 it is called unskillful. If you were ever in a 1v1 tourney the maps that would be used would be maps like sanctuary and onyx where the most powerful weapon would be the sniper and nothing else except for loadout weapons scattered around the map for ammo. Maps that have respawn timers on weapons like railgun, rockets, beam rifle or any other power weapon shouldn't be in a 1v1 map. But considering that most of the people here play this for fun they really wouldn't care. I really shouldn't either. I'm giving my opinion on what should happen and that weapon placement may have to revised for a better 1v1 experience. It is alot more balanced when it is a fair br battle unless someguy decides to hold rocket spawn all game just so he can rack up on ammo. I'm just telling people from my experience because it is frustrating when you lose to a guy where their TOD was a power weapon with 6+ kills.

Dude, what are you talking about? Weapon control in a 1v1 is unskillful?

Sanctuary has no weapons stronger than a sniper? People used rockets / camo ring 1..
Onyx doesn't even have a sniper.. it has a scattershot and OS.
Bolded sentence makes no sense.

Again: what makes all power weapons besides the sniper unskillful? You're generalizing about this and providing evidence about a couple of power weapons (and others you're just mentioning without providing evidence for at all) but you're missing the point, which is that power weapons other than the sniper don't have to be unbalanced.

To demonstrate my point:

If you've entered, I wouldn't stress too much about getting the timezone exactly right. As long as we know, generally, when you'd be available to play, you're good to go :)
