After playing a style of Sumo wrestling with Mongooses and Warthogs on Halo 5 (thanks to Mr Cat), I thought it would be great to have a central place to collate all the different game types and maps that are worth getting on Halo. So if you come across an awesome map for multiplayer, or unique and fun game types (e.g. Sumo wrestling on warthogs) then post below and a few of us admins can add the best ones to the OP to make it easier for people to check them out!

PS. Add as much info as possible to make it easier to search for them when in Halo. I have edited this post from a Halo 5 focus to Halo in general, so as to include the Master Chief Collection and Halo Reach (although Halo Reach is supposed to be included in the MCC in the near future). So anything Halo that is a bit different to the usual game modes and online multiplayer match making.

Maps:



Game types/modes:

The purpose of this thread will be to keep track of our mini games that we play during track days and other social events.

Roster last updated: 11/01/16

Nail the Apex:
In "Nail the Apex" drivers take turns attempting to thread the needle between two cars on the apex of a corner. Each time Nail the Apex is run a different corner is used to keep the challenge fresh. Cars making the "barriers" must leave approximately a car's length between each vehicle to allow a space wide enough for a car to fit through.

Reverse Challenge:
Anyone can drive a car forwards, but how do you go driving in reverse? Find out with the reverse challenge. A random car is selected (a stock vehicle so an unowned vehicle can be picked) along with a random circuit. Vehicles must be travelling in reverse at all times.

The Tumble Dryer:
Mixing things up a little bit, the tumble dryer sees drivers travelling both clockwise and counterclockwise on a circuit on alternating laps. The race starts with drivers travelling the alternate direction to the circuit for one lap, then travelling the pit lane and completing two laps, they must then enter the pit lane again, and on exit run the alternate layout for another lap. Repeating the process until the laps are reached.

Hadron Collider:
In Hadron Collider teams take turns running laps of an oval circuit to a time limit (default: 10 minutes) with best distance scoring. It is the opposing teams mission to run the opposite direction and stop the forward running team from reaching an unchasable distance. In the second round, roles are reversed, and the team which set the distance must now defend it and stop the opposition from travelling further. Best played with A or S class vehicles.

The Powerslide Park:
Two cars leave a parking space just wide enough for you to fit your car into, can you powerslide into the position?

For those looking to get in on some Halo 5 action, just post below if you want to join us!

Thursday 7th January
From approx 9pm AEDT

At this stage I think we can muster up at least 4, maybe 6 players.

This thread is mostly just Caderz, Woebe, and myself working out who's doing what stints for TORA's Daytona 24 Hour race. We'll probably also use this thread to keep you up to speed with livetiming and stream threads should the be available.

Stint 1 (1am - 3am AEDT):
Stint 2 (3am - 5am AEDT): Caderz not available
Stint 3 (5am - 7am AEDT): Caderz not available
Stint 4 (7am - 9am AEDT): Caderz not available
Stint 5 (9am - 11am AEDT): Caderz not available
Stint 6 (11am - 1pm AEDT):
Stint 7 (1pm - 3pm AEDT):
Stint 8 (3pm - 5pm AEDT):

Stint 11 (9pm - 11pm AEDT): Scav probably not available
Stint 12 (11pm - 1am AEDT):

Stints in bold are the night stints.

I was just wondering who would be interested in another Worms social night sometime soon, it was great fun before and I'm starting to miss the laughs created from it.

Hi all, I'll be hosting a social night on Friday the 18th to test out all the goodies that will come out in the update that'll hopefully be out by then. We'll do some custom games, mess around with everything new in forge and try out some of the new maps that are coming out. I'll look to start the party at around 8:45pm AEDST. Let me know if you're available

Hey everyone,

Over the next couple of weeks at game nights and race meets we'll be looking for some great footage for use in Screwed Gamers and CANZ intro videos. These will be used at the start of all videos that will go on the Screwed Gamers YouTube channel. Here's what I have in mind:

Screwed Gamers 45 second intro to go with the length of the old podcast intro tune.
Screwed Gamers 10-15 second intro for shorter videos.
CANZ 45 second-to-1 minute intro similar to the old RGL one, would be used on full race replays or live streams (i.e. run the intro while retiring to pits and getting into spectator mode in Project CARS).
CANZ 10 second intro used in any highlights packages and generally shorter videos.


Given we are, at the moment, quite limited in games that we play I won't restrict it to anything in particular, but funny moments from GTA V, or intense battles in Halo, and wheel to wheel action in racing games. Anything you think would make for good intro content. It doesn't even have to be from a game night, any time you have a moment that you think would make a good clip for the intro sequence (or even just a funny moments video in general) grab a clip of it and fire it through.

Hey guys,

First Project CARS hot lap competition right here, taking out a car we've not used before, on a track we haven't used very often yet. Set you best in the Ford Capri Zakspeed on Brands Hatch for your chance to take home this fortnights points offering. This lap time challenge will be closing on Tuesday, December 8th.

Requirements: Must be Ford Capri Zakspeed, tuning is allowed.

1st place gets 1000 points
2nd place will net themselves 500 points
3rd place will get 250 points

Don't forget to send me your lap time evidence via Xbox Live or post a screenshot of your time(s) here.
