I am looking for people who are interested in switches. I am going to start a group of people who are either switch makers already or are interested in learning how to make switches. This group will be a group interested in working together to invent, create, and discuss switches in Halo and will be the forefront in developing and expanding the world of switches. My intent is to create a decently sized group of people well versed in switch making that can work together in working with switches. If you are interested in joining this group please fill out this simple form and post it in a reply and I will contact you when I've gotten further on forming this group. Also, feel free to contact me on Skype if you have any questions, Skype name: chingchongkid
Gamertag: WWWilliam Experience: Know how to make all switches from halo 3 and how use them effectively. Own: Halo:3 soon Halo:Reach Contact: ForgeHub I have Skype but I've never used it Questions: Does it matter if I want to play MM for first season to get Onyx before everyone goes pro? because it seems like it wouldn't take to long to learn them all and It would probably be to late for me to help. Suggestions: I was gonna put this in the other thread but I thought it would be better off here, Few things might/might not already know for a new "fuse" switch you could use the Grenade launcher holding it down for as long as you want, Movable kill balls, setting movable objects to unmovable(but not vise versa), teleporting zones that teleport vehicles(unknown if works unmanned)
Gamertag: x1134 Firex Experience: I Do not know how to make many switches in halo 3 mainly because i never bothered looking. but the ones i have looked up i grasped insanely easily and i would like to help you. Own: I own halo 3 with all dlc, and im getting reach. Contact: Im on forge hub about every day and of course xbox live. Questions: Will we be having required meetings or will it be lax? Suggestions: Have teaching days where you teach the group or select members switches that you would like them to know.
Gamertag: B3NW Experience: I make switches, I have very good knowledge of switches Own: Halo3 & Reach when released Contact: FH, Skype, MSN, Xbox live Questions: N/A Suggestions: When Reach is released, we get straight to work. I think that teaching before it comes out will be useful in finding new and old switch techniques in Reach
Alright guys thanks for showing your interest in this, we're getting going. And I've taken down all suggestions made. B3NW, how do you suggest we teach before its release? Do you mean in Halo 3?
Gamertag: LRMAN0989 Experience: I've made a lot of switches lately just for my own personal fun, most of them already done, some just made up. I still have a good amount that I'd need to learn if it's Halo 3, but Reach is a whole new game, so starting when it comes out would be great. Own: Halo 3 mythic disc, and I'm pre-ordering Reach Contact: Forgehub (I go on it every day), and Xbox Live (I'm on it from 7pm EST to 12 pm EST, but 7pm EST isn't always the same. Sometimes later) Questions: As Sniper asked, will we be required to have meetings on a schedule, or will we have a rather relaxed schedule for the group? Also, are mics required? (Please say no) Suggestions: N/A
Setup maps with examples for each switch type, get a group in of people and show them. Makes it easier if there is a team of people finding switches in reach rather than a few people. To do that they need to know the basics.
As some of you have asked this group will be lax (not a clan or anything). I'm considering having a forum of some sort where we can discuss things so no, mics wouldn't be required, although it does make it easier. As for the pre-release teaching deal; I'll make up some maps with the different kinds of techs and a few complete switches. Then we'll get a group together to check it out and ask questions and stuff. Although if you are new to switches I suggest we have a private game together because I've learned from experience its hard to teach switches in large groups.
Ok ching. Well you might want to private game me (nubby ) Yea a forum would be nice...please dont do a "group" on FH those never worked out for me
Gamertag: Valor1204 Experience: Learn To Own: I own Halo 3 and preordered Halo Reach Legendary Edition Contact: Forgehub, justtyler1204@aol.com, Skype: Valor1204 Questions: None, I might have some during the teaching. Suggestions: None.
Gamertag: frog on stilts Experience: No experience, I've only made observations Own: I own Halo 2 and have preordered Halo Reach Standard Edition Contact: Forgehub, chasethayne@gmail.com Questions: None Suggestions: As someone who likes to design competitive and casual maps, I'd like to explore the practical ways we could use switches which are maybe not too eccentric or puzzling (the puzzling ones are best for the puzzle maps. Har de har-har.) So the switches I've seen you do before that perhaps apply to me more are things like bridges or gateway entrances (temporary or otherwise). So basically I'm looking for switches that: Have a role in a slayer or objective-based game. Aren't too secretive to be noticed. And are potentially aesthetically pleasing enough, or at least tidy. (If not, I shouldn't let it get in the way of creating a great map). If this isn't the sort of thing you're looking for in a group member, I completely understand.
Gamertag: ICI SH4D0WZ IDI Experience: I have DL a few switches and taken them apart to see how they work but other than that I want to learn. Own: I have Halo 3 and will be getting Reach ASAP Contact: FH and Xbox
Gamertag: IxFlashPointxI Experience: Moderate Experience Own: I will own both Halo 3 and Reach Contact: Xbox,forgehub,xforgery,thecustomexperience,youtube Questions: None Suggestions: We/you will need to teach members how to make switches and such.
Gamertag: fluffyroks2 Experience: I know how to make switches and i've used them before. Own: Halo 3,Halo Reach when released. Contact: Forge hub, Yahoo, Gmail, X box live. fluffyroks@gmail.com/fluffyroks@yahoo.com Questions: N/A Suggestions: I remember from one of the Q/A's on bungie.net they said you can make fusion coils and other stuff immovable instead of holding fusion coils in a spot to make elevators you could just have them float, because they'll still blow up but will stay in the same spot. Could also make a good bridge/draw-bridge. May be helpful in making new switches come Halo Reach.
Gamertag: Alligator88 Experience: Deployable Bridge;Vehicle Deployment;has the capacity to create new and innovative switches;can teach others how to make basic and complex switches Own: Have every edition of Halo 3 and pre-ordered the Limited Edition of Reach Contact: ForgeHub and x-box live Questions: Where is this group going to be located?(Will it have it's own website,be on an existing website such as b.net,etc.) Suggestions: Make sure there is a forum,as it will make communicating so much easier.
Okay guys, everyone who has expressed interested has been written on a list and I will be contacting you all as soon as I get a little further on developing the plans for this group. I would prefer to have a separate forum website if possible but I'm not really the web development type, so if any of you could help with this let me know.
