Looking for a customs lobby on this site is pointless! It's like going through an endless maze. I have been searching for a good customs lobby for about 2 hours now, and nothing. The huge list of custom lobby gamertags doesn't work because many people are outdated and not even playing Halo anymore. Through the hours of searching it seems as if people hardly play custom games anymore. Except for a few people, everyone is off playing some other game alone. I know the forgers have not ceased making great maps, so what's the deal? The maps are there to play, but no one plays customs. Is ForgeHub dead? I doubt it. But people need to be more noticing when it comes to getting a good lobby going. In regards to updating the customs lobby section on this website, The mods should clean up some gamertag spots and also include a few top contributors to custom lobbies noticeable in the list. These are two ideas to make custom lobbies more accesible; *First, you get a person(s) who enjoys playing lobbies post there gamertag so that anyone looking to find a good lobby can just add that gamertag then look through there recent players and invite many people resulting in a full room in minutes. For example, a gamertag named HALO REACH CUSTOMS, can add many players who are always playing customs. Such as a SCRIMS LIST on Gamebattles but for Customs. *Second, you could post regular game nights on the news board to advocate regular custom games and socialization weekly, perhaps daily. For example, "This friday is Halo Reach game night! Tune in for many lobbies and games!" Lastly, you could put many great maps out there from forgers through recurring custom games. It's a great way to revamp the customs searching in this forum. -ADD ME TO PLAY SOME CUSTOM GAMES! -XBL GAMERTAG: Evslin
For the TCOJ, go to the custom lobby section, for the TGIF, go to the frontpage for sign ups, and for BIOC, you can go to the signup threads located at the custom lobby section.
TGIF is a weekly thing where the host has a line of maps of any category to test. TCOJ is a group that usually plays invasion or btb. BIOC is a group that only plays infection. There is no competitive/MLG testing group.
Well if you want competitive 4v4s and some MLG, my friend DHG Redemtion is usually running testing lobbies. I don't think he'd mind an extra playtester.
What I mean is that there is no organized group that participates in scheduled MLG/competitive customs. There are many people who play competitive customs, including me, but it's more of a spontaneous thing.
I mean this. Don't think I've played Invasion or BTB in the TCOJ lobby ever. It's a 4v4 competitive (not quite MLG, sadly) testing group.
What makes you think I'm complaining? I'm just telling him that there isn't one as of now. Besides, I forge more than I play.
well you havent looked that hard because ive had something up called 'Halo Reach Community Playdate 1' which is on tonight at 7:00pm Great britain time
