SUPER FUN "COMPETITIVE BUT NOT TOO COMPETITIVE" CUSTOMS!

Host gamertag: o Nondual o (and Nondual Customs is my overflow Gamertag)

Customs Thursday night! (1/4/13) (this site automatically shows you the correct time in your time zone, just make sure you're signed in!)

For about 3 hours

The types of games my friends and I enjoy playing would fall somewhere in “middle ground” between minigames/infection and MLG. Basically what we play is similar to what you will find in matchmaking. But with different twists to make things fresh, balanced, and above all more exciting with lots of explosions.

A couple of examples would be:
-One flag on abandon, complex, or a custom erosion map that I made
-KOTH specialized for different maps with lots of vehicles, and weapons balanced to take vehicles out..
-Neutral bomb (griffball with weapons) on Solace (or pretty much any of the symmetrical maps.)
-Slayer and Regicide with different and awesome starting weapons on any given map.

I have a bunch of different maps and gametypes I’m working on, and I’m always on the lookout for more amazing stuff. If you want to play something, I’m always open to requests.

However, even though I don’t mind a little bit of infection and mini games, many of my friends do not like them at all. So in general we stay away from them. A couple of MLG type games aren’t too bad either. But mainly we like to stick to the above mentioned “chaotic” gametypes.

I am open to helping people test out their maps. That is one of the main functions of our custom games. I have a couple of maps myself that we will be testing.

The DLC maps are encouraged, but not required.

Having a mic, and being funny is also encouraged, but not required. (If being funny was always required, I’d have to kick myself out most of the time.)

There is an age limit. A good rule of thumb is that players should probably be at least 17 years old. Most of the guys we game with are in their 20's to 30 and we just prefer gaming with people older than this. Sorry youngsters! (However, if you don’t have a mic, and always listen to what you’re suppose to be doing, then no one would know how old you were : )

HOW TO JOIN:
Ummm, this is the tricky part. I put a lot of effort in to making games fun, so they are generally pretty full with my own friends. But usually we will have an opening here and there throughout the night. The best way to get into the games would be to post below and RSVP that you are available. And then send a friend request before games start to my overflow gamertag Nondual Customs. (My main gamertag o Nondual o is full) I will then check that friends list and invite people in the order they post below.

If you have questions please post below. It takes too long to check messages sent to me on Xbox Live while games are going (yes seconds matter, lol) I will have this thread open while the games are going, I can answer questions much more quickly here. I will also post updates with how many people are in the party and if we’re looking for more.

I’m sorry it’s not easier to get in. Like I said though, games are usually pretty full.

I also have several of the guys here on the site on my friends list (Vincent Torre, Teetmare, and Insane54.) So you might be able to get into these games through them as well.

Above all, I'm all about having fun in a constructive, polite and sometimes drunk environment (usually things are pretty ridiculous.) :titmar:

Here is a video with some of the highlights from our last customs session:

Just wanted to drop in and say I'd love to be a part of this, especially if it's going to be a recurring thing; the whole "casually competitive" is right in my wheelhouse. It seems most of the custom games I join are all Flood variants - which is fun sometimes but I wanna play some KOTH, Oddball, or even just some Team Slayer on some new cool maps damnit.

I'll send a FR to your overflow (GT: k0llateral) but I probably wont make in on till 8:30-9 due to work. Lookin forward to some interesting games!

NonDual can you put your King of the Hill variant in your file share. I want to verify it will work with his map before tonight.

needdabisket is your map in your file share?

Gametype is up Bizz. Is your most recent version of Invading Jupiter and Blitzkrieg in your file share? What time do you have each round of Blitzkrieg set to? I don't know if you remember our conversation about 6 minutes a round probably being ideal . . .

Do you think you'll be able to actually make it tonight? That would be awesome.

Sounds great man, looking forward to having you in the games. What time zone do you live in? Just so I know more when you'll be on, and I'll do my best to make sure a spot is open for ya.

Also, yes these games are recurring. I host about once a week right now. The night varies, because everyone's schedule varies. Usually, Thursday, Friday or Saturday nights. You can keep an eye on the upcoming games here on this website obviously. I also have a facebook page to help notify people as well. Facebook.com/nondualcustoms. : )

I will post it to my file share when I get home

While I'm gaming, I cannot accept friend requests on my overflow account. I just accepted a couple of friend requests, and I will do my best to get you guys in. Kollateral, I didn't get a FR from you dude, so just send a message to my main account o Nondual o when you're ready to get on.

CUSTOMS. JUST. KEEP. GETTING. BETTER. That was seriously amazing. A big, big thanks to everyone that made it. We ended up playing an hour longer than I expected because we were having so much fun. It was like, 4 hours of continuos explosions! Lol.

This website is awesome, I got a ton of messages from people wanting to play. Sorry I couldn’t get all of you in. Having people message my main account, definitely works better than people sending friend requests to my overflow account. I’ll probably do that from now on. I learned a lot, and next games will be better. Hopefully it will easier for people to get in.

THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE! And a huge thanks to Insane54 for coming and playing for a couple hours. It’s always legendary to have you in the games man.

Hopefully I'll have another highlight video of tonight's games to throw up here in a couple days.

We’ll see what’s going on next Thursday or Saturday! : )

It was epic indeed! Never had that much fun getting my ass kicked. Thanks for the invite, but i'm blaming the 3 cups of coffee I needed this morning on you guys, lol. Also, you guys had some great maps and gametypes. I'm inspired to polish and finish my forge projects for next time.
