3 further slots available

Attention, candidates! Feel free to add yourself to the bottom of the growing list. Then, put a dash next to your name, and add your highest level and in what category.

Also, I want to lay down the ground rules right now. The key to winning this match isn't being good with one weapon or one vehicle... It's being strong on all levels. I don't want to hear "Im good with the warthog, or I can use the sword decently", honestly who isn't? I want you to know, in your heart, that your strong enough to compete on a level thats higher than normal. This is something people work for, and we're getting an oppurtunity. It's once in a lifetime people, treat it like that... CaptainAdamGraves 22:24, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

See below for how to get in. =D

How To Get In

Procedure

There are six slots, and three openings left. This is how it works to get in.

Tonight, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time (otherwise 1:00 PM Western Time), there will be the first challenge match. Whoever wants may join. The moderator's gamertag is Relentless70. Send him a friend request, and then join the game. NOTE: Relentless70's friend list is full, so instead send a friend request to GPersonyThingy, at least until RR cleans up his friends.

It will be a total FFA game on Lockout, Ivory Tower, or Ascension. However, the moderator, Relentless70, will only be observing. If anyone kills him, he/her will immediately be disqualified. Okay?

The winners will be considered for entrance into the team, but remember, there will be more challenge matches, as probability states that the more samples, the greater chance of an accurate reading. Even the losers of the first match, if they do well in the subsequent and as-of-now unannounced matches, will be considered into entrance into El Team. Actually, there's a 37.5% chance fo making it, so feel warm and fuzzy...there's hope you can play with one of the gods that rule Bungie! =D

Message RR at his talk page for further details! =D ;D Hope to see ya at 4:00, or whatever time it's for you!

Godspeed,

RelentlessRecusant 16:53, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Ideal Candidate
Requirements
  • Halopedia member
  • Good Halo 2 player
  • Has Xbox Live
  • Can play sometime Wednesday night
Favorable Traits
  • Friendly, good attitude (including NOT killing the moderator during tryouts...ahem...)
  • Proficient sniper
    • Long-range (i.e. across a map)
    • Medium-range (most important: player must be able to provide coordinated tactical support for team mates with sniper at range)
    • Close-range
  • Tactical...TACTICAL...TACTICAL! Communications...COMMUNICATIONS...COMMUNICATIONS!- People that think first before aiming and shooting (not a camera). Extraordinarily important. Example: someone, who, upon a chanced glance, spots a sniper at the Sniper Tower of Lockout, will say, "Team, be advised, sniper at snipe tower. GPersonyThingy engaging.", and afterwards, doesn't goes in guns blazing from the center platform, but will consider crouching up the ramp from the Grenade Room or making the leap from the central platform to the sniper spawn ramp. This heavily includes CROUCHING when applicable and also two other major objectives: recon and stealth. Let's emphasize that.
    • Communications
    • Recon
    • Teamwork
    • Stealth (includes crouching)
  • Leadership - Someone who can lead a small team in taking an objective, like a flag, or conversely, in defending a location. Example: someone who can rally one or two other people to take the sniper balcony on Ivory Tower.
Example of an Exemplary Player

For you dudes that REALLY wanna be on the team, an example of a player that we're looking for. A rather painfully blatant example, but kk. An example game and player follows:

Red Team (Owner [the person in consideration], Pwner, and Crzzy) vs. Blue Team (Dude 1, Dude 2, and Dude 3) @ Ivory Tower, Team Slayer

Blue Team holds the Sniper Balcony, to be referred to as El Base. Red Team is scattered. Owner decides that it would be tactically advantageous to take the base, and while skirting around the palm trees at the far end of the map from the base, sees that Dude 1 has a sniper at the snipe spawn at the base. He immediately crouches and moves outta the line of sight of the sniper, and tells Pwner, who's at the air vents, to take the shottie and crouch up the ramp to be in a position for immediate assault. When Pwner says that Dude 1 might turn to the left and snipe him at the ramps, Owner begins indiscrimanately spraying SMG fire from long range to get Dude 1's attention. Meanwhile, Crzzy takes the BR from near the Overshield Spawn, and under the command of Owner, crouches his way to the elevator leading to the rear of the base.

Owner chucks a frag from long range, sparking the shields of Red Team and giving them a smokescreen to advance. Crzzy arms himself also with the PP at the elevator, and when he gets to the 3rd floor, fires it, taking out the shields of the guy perched at the top, waiting for him. Then, Crzzy jumps off, shooting a BR on the way down, scoring a headshot and killing Dude 2.

This distracts both Dude 1 and Dude 3 (armed with a PR/SMG dual combo). Dude 3 jumps down to the bottom floor to flush out the noob comboer, while...ahh...WTH? The point is - be smart, be tactical, DO NOT JUST GO IN SHOOTING WITH AN SMG VS. A POWER WEAPON DUDE! =D

Actual Participators & Initial Assessments
The almighty Emperor of Da Halopedia Dudes, asked for players' tactical thoughts during a game, evaluated the playaz
Individually not very powerful, but great when integrated into a team. Helps to contribute to a team's overall tactical strategy a lot.
Shotgun
Very tactical and skilled. Gives some leadership to other team mates to coordinate strategy.
Sniper
Skilled in team matches, excellent in FFA, although doesn't coordinate strategy in team games. Very innovative, however, in personal strategy, utilizing turret to provide suppressive fire, and using a variety of novel weapons techniques.
Sword, Battle Rifle
Good with the sniper, although hesitant to engage in rough-'n-tumble fighting.
Sniper
Skilled in both FFA and team matches, although doesn't coordinate strategy, like Gzalzi.
Battle Rifle, Grenades
Good in fire support in team games, has a grip on tactics
Overall

  • 66.82.9.47 13:05, 4 February 2007 (UTC) (tentative) - RR on another computer that has problems logging in...
  • J!MMY8806The Legendary difficulty level icon. 14:09, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Very proficient with sniper, and very kill/death ratio-wise efficient, with an efficiency normally over 1. However, since he wasn't given command of a team, didn't really show leadership, but that's to be expected, as he wasn't tested in that category. Oh, and used teh word "mate" - bonus points. =D ;D
Very kill/death ratio-wise efficient, overall a good kiddo. Good with sniper, BR, and carbine, and from the looks of it, good with suppressive fire and also, conversely, defensive fire.
Pretty good, especially with weapons like BR and sniper.
  • Shoe shot 16:30, 4 February 2007 (UTC) I'll be there even with the SB on TV
Very kill/death ratio-wise efficient. Old school, too. (i.e.:SMG + frag 'nades FTW!) Furthermore, can be trusted with a team command.
Shows very good potential for someone that's just gotten XBL. =D
  • Gzalzi 18:23, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
THE sniper. THE sniper. When given command of a small team, showed skill in getting the team 'round. Furthermore, good at suppressive fire at medium ranges with sniper, and also with BR.
  • SPARTAN-387 Comm 18:45, 4 February 2007 (UTC) - depending. only until kick off LETS GO COLTS
Pretty good. Often showed intelligence by not charging into the fray, but doing a brief recon, asking for reinforcements or warning away team mates from the fight, and then either jumped in or didn't. Tactical.
Who's this?
Who's this?
Very good, very competent, especially in command. Could be trusted with command of a 6-man team or a 3-man team, compliant in communicating desires of the moderator to team mates, showed charisma in getting them to listen to him.
  • TheWax 21:57 4th February 2007 (UTC) I think I missed it...
Kill ratio is pretty good, proficient with close-range weapons such as shotgun and sword.
  • Fragg3d 22:37, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Very kill/death ratio-wise efficient. Good with BR and CQB (close quarter combat) weps (i.e. shottie).
A sniper gifted with exceptional talent, and with a very good kill/death ratio.
