So you're sitting around playing one of your favorite games, praying to get on a decent team but you just can't seem to find it. Your Mic is on mute and you can't find a single useful thing to say because you either can't understand the level of "swag" that someone is talking about or you just don't feel right about being part of the team at all.

Well push that all aside because we're making a weekly community gaming event!

You see, as a community we have all surrounded ourselves with similar games, mostly coming from a backing of Space Marine. Of course we grew here and there, digging our claws into the tasty cookies of Chaotic Spray-and-Pray gunfire of Halo, flying into the void in EvE, and Run-and-Gun tactics in Dust, but sometimes we just want to play with other people in a different setting. Well that's where this little arrangement comes in.

We are looking to not only keep ourselves active and playing with one another (no dirty thoughts) but also try to spike some new income into the community. I feel that playing random games at least once a week in an open environment may help not only build relationships here already but forge new ones with other players who might be looking for a new home within a community like this one.

The idea goes something like this : Once a week we pick a single game. It can be anything from PS3, Xbox, PC, etc. The games will be team/group oriented and can consist of several different titles from Borderlands 2, Minecraft, EvE, and so on. We'll simply play, enjoy, maybe record a little, and say we form a group of 5 people and play a couple hours of Halo, the players we meet we can invite to join us here and thus spike a little activity!

So who's up for this new weekly ritual? I know I am. I'm particularly looking forward to a little Minecraft. Depending on how many we can get interested, we'll start picking games and try to get this rolling asap!

EDIT : 4/28/2013 :

Space Marine has won the first week's poll. My last post reflects information on this. The new poll is now up.

[Draco Ny'ade]

Sounds Good - I'm all for it

[Keiya]

Awesome to hear. I guess I should get some options out there for everyone.

1 : What days would you be available on? I'm thinking weekends might be the best, this includes Friday evenings.

2 : What games would you be most interested in? Minecraft - Halo 4 - Halo Reach - Borderlands 2 - Battlefield 3 - Mass Effect 3 - Dawn of War - Dawn of War 2 - Arma 2 - Gunz - War Thunder - World of Tanks - Dust -

Other games withstanding, we can try to keep things to a point where you don't have to have a ton of time invested to enjoy the game.

[Draco Ny'ade]

i play most evenings - thursdays are best

Halo 4 - Halo Reach - War Thunder - World of Tanks - Dawn of War 2 - CoD Black Ops II + a few more but those are my main games

(interesting you should mention War Thunder - Do you play?)

[Danguinius]

Good idea.

I know a fair few are getting into defiance. Myself included.

Halo 4 is always a great game to play as well. I shall watch this thread with interest.

So what games would people want to play? Personaly I want to see us start out on Minecraft for PC first as well.

If for the (unlikely) chance a PS3 title is chosen I can maybe bring some of my 50+ Sons of The Fallen members if some of them happen to have the game. 

Another brilliant game we could do is Team Fortress 2, its free, the specs aint that demading, its a seriously enjoyable game, and its free (). 
1: Should be available everyday including for late night gaming. Exceptions are most weekdays until 4PM (GMT).
2: PC: Team Fortress 2, Any other free game on Steam, Tomb Raider, Minecraft, DoW 1+all expanctions, DoW2 Retribution, Commander and Conquer Tiberium something Kanes Wrath, Supreme Commander 1, Forged Alliance and 2. Plus some others I cant remember off the top of my head.
PS3: Borderlands 1and2, Dust 514, Battlefield 2, Resistance 2, and loads others that for some reason I cant remeber.

[LeadCrazySam]

We was going to do something about Minecraft for PC (Gothic wars server) but nothing has been mentioned about it, once I get some money I might start another server, which can be our Minecraft server? Run by the community. Ect.

But I do a lot on PC

[Authrix]

I'd be up for weekends, games include:
360
Borderlands 2
Minecraft
Space Marine
Halo 4
Defiance
Assassin's Creed (Brotherhood and Revelations)
Team Fortress 2
CoD (MW and MW2)

PC:
Minecraft
LoL
DoW 1, WA, SS, DoW2 and Chaos Rising
TF2
Planetside 2
Alien Swarm

I think perhaps community games should also look at playing mini games (for want of a better term) such as the infamous "Mike Myers" in MW2.

[Talos Valcoran]

Sounds awesome:

Dead Space 3
Borderlands 2
Space Marine
Mass Effect 3

[Commander Mongo]

Good idea.

We've got a gothic defiance discussion going on in the defiance section, if your getting into it.

I'd be down for this, u would add colonial marines to the mix, as that is best played in private matches...

[dx144]

Games I have:
Gears of War Judgement
Halo 4
Space Marine
Mass Effect 3

Might have some others but haven't played them in a while.

Fridays would be best but I go to Deathwatch Fridays so Fridays are already taken.
Saturday would be the best day as I can stay on late as I want to.

I can play weekdays but will have to come off around midnight.

This is a great idea and if there is a game I can be involved in I would be more than happy to participate.

[TechGerhard]

Sounds good to me, but I only have a few games with multiplayer. SM, Halo 3/Reach, WFC/FoC, TF2(pc) and Section 8 Prejudice.

[ImperialFist66]

This has a lot of promise... I have Borderlands 1/2, halo 4, black ops II, Space Marine, Defiance by next payday, Mass Effect 3, Dead Space 3, WFC/FoC, and only the Emperor knows what else currently serving as an over-priced beer coaster for my xBox 360.

[Authrix]

I'd like to remind people that this will be open to all platforms, not just the 360.

[dx144]

Well for the PC I have....

All of Dawn of War 1 with expansions and the Ultimate Apocalypse mod.
Age of Wonder 1, 2 and Shadow Magic.
Command and Conquer Tiberium Wars Kane's Wrath.
Rome Total War and Rome Total War Barbarian Invasion.
I do have others but they are either missing CD keys, not multiplayer or torrented a while ago.

I am intending to remove my torrented games into bought games. Either through Steam or just with a CD.

Also I forgot I have MW2 and MW3 for 360.

[Authrix]

Honestly, I think we could have some fun with some of the MW2 minigames in particular (You know, Zombies, Mike Myers, etc), as there wouldn't be hacks, trickshotting douchebags, etc.

[dx144]

Mike Myers has always bored me. I cannot begin to remember what weapons I used. Never use to go round Quickscoping. I did use I think the MP5 a lot. I preferred it to the UMP. Did use a Sniper Rifle a lot. I used Scavenger, Stopping Power and Sit Rep. Equipment was usually a Flash and a Claymore.

I think I did use the M240 in some matches. In defensive locations like the building in the middle of Derail a mate and myself would plant claymores at both entrances with back up claymores just in case they broke through the first. We would then just shoot out of the windows with Snipers, Assault Rifles or Heavy Weapons.

I always wished to play against someone doing a similar tactic. Just because I would have got Sit Rep pro so much faster. I also had a USP akimbo on most classes =P

I would be interested in getting Black Ops or Black Ops II just to play Zombies. My guess is the online is awful. Just like Black Ops online was.

[Keiya]

Seeing a lot of the same game titles. That's good!

Keep in mind there are a ton of games out there that are either free or next to it. Something as an example would be Garys mod or Warthunder. Both are great multiplayer games for PC anyone can just dive right into.

JC - as luck would have it I just acquired a PS3 so we should be able to arrange some game time over there.

[dx144]

Well let me know when you set up a game day so I know when to get on and can shoot at things =)

[JC 042]

How about a poll of the 5 most common games people have listed?
