ive been working on some things chat and company
so ive been recruiting tryin to rebuild the halo community here and the company. ive noticed a few people have joined the company this week so it must be working.
Who ever is in charge of the company??? deep, Assasin, Smooth. keep an eye on the company. also i would add to the description talking about our weekly custom game nights. they have always been the most popular thing in our community with the biggest draw.
finally i have been trying to find away to keep everybody involved with communication during the custom nights since 343 failed to do it themselves. i have started a 2old2play chat channel on the app "discord" it is an app for your phone and also a website. it has an easy to use chat function that will alows us to communicate with everybody in the fireteam. plus it has other functions to help us stay connected while we game or what not. best thing is that there is currently an app being developed for xbox which will allow us to use our xbox mics. if we get a jump on discord now then we will already be set up to use it when it releases on xbox.
you can find discord in your appstore or at http://discordapp.com
here is the invite code to join the 2old2play channel https://discord.gg/0mICXKwUkEt7SwNF its only good for 24 hours so if it doesnt work then its because i havent posted a new one yet still trying to figure out how to make a permanent one
Wouldn't the most practical thing to do is just wait for the XB1 app?
I got so many yeah buts, but I'll just let this play out from the bleachers.
i dont k now what this means
well your a pretty pivotal part in the custom game nights it would be nice if you got ur ass outta tha bleachers and out on the court. its gonna be hard enough to get all you old grumpy men to try something new. it will be easier if deep is doing too.
Yeah I been trying to get people into the company as well. About 10 new members in just a couple days. If anyone plays with these guys: LegendcalledJim, Smoothe212, Bcyclops, Eric 1138, Kenjamin MI, Livereatinratso, Medic113, Vaht Vokuree maybe mention it to them. I have already sent them a message via XBL and sent invites to the company on Waypoint. So if interested they would just have to sign in on waypoint and accept the invite. Mention the company on gamenights whenever possible and explain to them about the armor set that can be unlocked.
Not sure how the app thing would work. Am I talking to everyone through my phone? With my headset on? Explain it more or I'll look at your links later to figure it out.
Discord downloaded to laptop and channel joined. I can see a potential issue though. With a headset on, listening to laptop speakers might be problematic. I can put the laptop nearby, but won't be gaming with it in my lap. Texting will also be an issue for the same reason. My laptop's internal mic is really good (I use it for walk thru videos) so hearing me should not be a problem.
I am hoping that the XBONE app will be available soon. Running it there thru the headset and mic would solve the above issues.
More than willing to try this, even if I am an old fogie, but for it to work, all 202p'ers who want to play the site-wide customs would have to buy into this.
Not pursuing any solution outside XB1. Too much headache if not too confusing.
Of course participation by others could change my mind.
How does Discord work with being able to hear the game sounds and do party chat? My Turtle Beach headset plugs into my adaptor on the controller - the headset can be used with my phone, but then how would I get game sound?
I don't necessarily have any major issue with trying something like this other than:
1) We should not be forced into using 3rd party apps, when 343 should just fix the game. How could this not be a priority?
2) I can't quit playing Witcher 3...lol
Greatly appreciate your efforts to find a work-around. I know its not easy and requires some brainstorming. However, I'm going to opt out of this one as well: I know of at least one regular member who does not access this site, does not own a smartphone, and isn't planning to do so anytime soon. So even if some of us figured out how to use this method, the exclusion problem hasn't been solved.
Okay. Will do.
