Staff vs Community
What is the Staff vs Community?
I'm glad you ask. As most of you may know the staff here at Halocustoms host the infamous Staff vs Community. The Staff vs Community is when a number of Staffers ( normally 5 but it can vary ) and community members go head to head in a pit for glory, bragging rights and the chance to victory crouch over the reds and oranges alike. It also uses a course of 5 pre-selected competitive maps that can use anything from Slayer to KoTH to Oddball.. well you get the point I'm trying to make here. The Staff also like to cycle out the community members to get as many members of the community as the can to enjoy the amazingness ( and stressfulness ) that is the SvC.
The History of SvC
As alot of you may not know the Staff vs Community has been going on in this site since last year after its founding. The Staff however went on a victory spree which they have yet to lose a single match since the SvC began ( which by the way at last count was 9-0 SvC playdates ).
Why has the community lost so many SvC's and not won a single one?
Now this is where it gets tricky. There are several opinions that come into play here but I'll try and name a few;

Now this is where it gets tricky. There are several opinions that come into play here but I'll try and name a few;
- The community members not playing the maps to help prepare against the Staff which of course leads to not knowing weapon placements, what vehicles there is etc.
- Lack of communication on the community team. This is a pretty big factor when it comes to the actual event. The community, for the most part, have bad communications when it comes to call outs and things like that.
- The community does not have a team prepared to defeat the Red and Orange over lords.
How can I help end this tyranny of the Staff?
Well this is the simple part that I'm sure you've guessed from the title of this thread. What myself and several others have been looking to do is to help start a team or several teams that will help end the Staff's victory streak. The goal of this thread is to, in the least, make one team that can help defeat the Staff. If this thread happens to gain some popularity then it will allow for teams to be rotated around so that we can get as many Community members into the SvC as possible.
How can I join a team?
By entering how much you play Competitive game modes ( Slayer, KoTH, Oddball etc ) weather they are played in Match Making or in Custom Games as well as your Gamertag. After doing this, it would help in knowing the some of your most memorable experiences to use as an example before you can be put into a team. And lastly ( though not required ), enter your K/D ( Kill/Death Ratio ) to help with verifying your competitiveness.
It would also help to mention an other person(s) that may want to join your team or any person(s) that you would like to join your team. Teams should be between 5-6 players maximum. You can tag them in this post by entering the following *@-enter the persons name here-*. Once a team has been organised you may want to assign yourselves a team name as the generic "team 1" and "team 2" is just a little bit boring but I'll leave that part up to you guys.
When will I know about an upcoming SvC?
Well if for what ever reason you do not see or notice the event posted on one of the media stream posts, then I will update this thread so that you get an alert. In the off chance that this also fails, I will write a post on each attendees profile. After the event is announced I'll ask whether or not you are able to attend the upcoming event. SvC's only have a certain amount spots open for community members due to team size restrictions though this may vary depending on how many staff members will be able to attend.
Tip*
Just remember guys communication is key. If you do not communicate effectively then it is highly likely that you will lose. This has lead to several arguments/debates in the past so remember to talk to each other!
