Bitmob Giveaway/Game Night - Halo: Reach

Tuesday, September 14, 2010

It's been a few months since we've last had a Bitmob Game Night. If only a new multiplayer game would come out that would let the Bitmob staff and community shoot each other....

Oh wait, Halo: Reach is that game! Now that Reach is officially out, join us this Friday, Sept. 17 at 5:00 pm PST/8:00 pm EST for some stress-relieving/stress-inducing (depending on which side of the kill-death ratio you tend to fall under) fun. We might try some of the modes that Bungie recommended to us here, but chances are, with me hosting, we'll get a little bit crazy with the game types.

See below for more details on how you can join the fight, plus a screenshot/caption contest where one lucky winner will win a Halo: Reach briefcase that we'll be filling with a few random goodies...from our pile of random goodies.

(UPDATE: the screens, the captions, the winner!)

 

When: Friday, Sept. 17, 5:00 pm PST/8:00 pm EST for about two or three hours.

Where: Xbox Live. Join Gamertag "Bitmob Shoe" -- or "B Bretterson" or "Bitmob Demian" for any overflow lobbies.

Contest: Using Halo: Reach's in-game tools, take a bunch of screenshots of Friday night's action, then post them to Bitmob along with accompanying captions anytime before Wednesday, Sept. 22. Tag your article Reach Game Night, so I can find them easily. Later, we'll compile the best and funniest ones into a front-page post and pick our one favorite to win this thing, which we'll stuff with some TBD swag:

Apologies for the non-iPhone 4 quality of this photo.

Note: As with all Bitmob Giveaways, you must be registered on this site with your full, real first and last name to qualify. For this contest, we can only ship within the continental U.S. (the briefcase ain't light, and we ain't rich!). If an out-of-towner wins this thing, we'll offer him the option to cover shipping and handling via PayPal. Otherwise, we'll pick an alternate.

See you Friday!

I could be down for this. I'm by no means good at "teh Haloez" but I'm all for having fun. Sounds like a plan to me.

@Shoe: I always worry anyway. Not huge on public embarassment, though I suppose embarassment in front of Bitmobbers is better than the alternative, eh? ;P

Still, I'll spend the week honing my skills...

@Rob, wait, dammit, if you're going to be practicing, then I'll have to practice to keep up, too!

@Shoe: No worries. I'm the most gracious winner you'll ever meet.

I'm an even better loser though. More practice at it, you see. ;)

I'll show up for a few matches, but I got pretty frustrated last night getting my ass handed to me by obvious halo deathmatch veterans. I'm just now getting back into HALO as I just only recently finally got around to getting a 360.  Last time I played halo was in the Halo 2 days, and even then I never played online so I'm sure I'll be easy points for all you halo vets.

Sooo...if Shoe's no good, and he consistently beats me, what does that make me? Crap, I better start practicing.

@Brett I think this might be the first Halo game night where you have all the map packs.

So if the goal is to take the best screenshot you can bet your BR I'll be teabagging everything in sight hoping for some crotch-to-head collision detection snafus.

Oooo this could be fun.  Don't know if the timing will be right, but I'm going to try to be on for this.  Played some Rocketfight and Flaming Skulls last night, and it was wicked fun.
