Halo Waypoint Co-Op Night: Firefight High Score Night

Event
360
Twitter facebook googlebuzz

Friday, November 13th @ 8PM EST 

 

Today we're proud to announce a brand new monthly gaming event on Co-Optimus in partnership with the Halo Waypoint team.  We're going to be running monthly themed Halo co-op nights that will be featured on the Waypoint channel on the Xbox 360.

The first night is Halo 3: ODST Firefight Highscore Night, and the goal is simple.  Your team is trying to achieve the highest score possible on any map, any difficulty.  After the night is over, come back here and post your score, link the Bungie.net stats page and see how you did!

We'll pick two winners each winning 1600 MS points and a 12 Month Xbox Live Gold subscription!  One will go to the top score and one will go to a random selection from those submitting their scores.

Don't forget to check out our Survival Guide for tips on Firefight!

To participate in the ODST Co-Op Night you can add one of our cooptimus ODST gamertags (http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/profile.aspx?pp=0&GamerTag=cooptimus+ODST) or (http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/profile.aspx?pp=0&GamerTag=cooptimus+ODST2) to your friends list and utilize the friends of friends feature to invite other gamers to your Halo 3: ODST session.  The Co-Optimus staff will also be sending out invites throughout the night getting groups together for some good ol fashioned Covenant slaying!  Feel free to use our ODST meetup thread as well to meet other co-op gamers!

Everything kicks off this Friday at 8PM EST on Xbox Live and Halo Waypoint.  See you then!

Update:  we've filled up the first two gamertags.  Now we have a third.  cooptimus ODST3 | link

A nice idea, but why are these always american?

Because they're stupid Americans who don't realise there's a world beyond the country of Amurca. Or maybe it's because Co-Optimus is run by Americans.

Well, the "official" events are run by the staff members of the site and Microsoft, who are all based in America.

As far as contests and such, there are laws in this country concerning where we can send prizes, which is lame as hell.

Also

I can work up export documents pretty easily, if we're willing to foot the $12+ bill to send prizes.
Of course, it may be more than just export laws prohibiting prize items from being sent.

NICE! When and how did the Halo Waypoint team contact you? Or did you spam their inboxes with this idea?

"We'll pick two winners each winning 1600 MS points and a 12 Month Xbox Live Gold subscription! One will go to the top score and one will go to a random selection from those submitting their scores."

Is it the team score or Individual scores? If It's the team score does everyone of that team receive the prize, Or just one person on the team?

Just curious.

unfortunately we don't have enough prizes for the whole team. So it'll be whoever submits the score. The person that wins will just have to buy the rest of the team some beers or something.

Maybe what I'll do is if multiple people from a team submit a score, the person with the highest individual total will get the prize.


Mrxknown_JG

Okay, so each person needs to submit a Team Score and then their individual score?

...

Nevermind, I see "link to the Bungie.net stats page". Which reminds me, I searched and I didn't see bapenquin's Halo stats on bungie.net. Never signed up?

I CANNOT wait for this Friday, the Covenant cannot stand against the power of co-op!

Yeah, I had a feeling you're going to win or at least be a top contender for best score.

I actually beat my score for that Endure match.

Team: 350,449 -- My Score: 144,525

But best Team score goes to the Endure match at Total - 798,668, MyScore--110,945.

Great fun, glad I got to join in.

Congratulations to everyone who got Endure. I'd like to shoot for that one sometime. Anyway: BAPenguin, OrigamiPanther, Pherbear, and I totalled 1,679,642 on Lost Platoon (Normal). Pher and I both got "Be Like Marty" that game.

God, that match took us over 3 hours. My score blew, because I was busy driving the shit out of the Warthog so my gunners could kill stuff. (something like 90% of my points were off vehicle kills, hah)

My wife was like, "I thought you were only going to play for a little."

My response? "Well I was, but we were doing good!"

"You couldn't just stop?"

"I CAN'T LET MY TEAMMATES DOWN!"


Evil The Slayer

Nice, I expected Lost platoon to get the highest score.

Haha yea, Can't Let the teamates down!!, Endure was fun I'd defiantly be willing to do that again. I still need to get "Be Like Marty"


Bakken Hood

Don't get too impressed with my score. By the end, when we had every skull active, I was getting almost 13,000 points for every tank I lasered. The game credits you with three kills when you take out a tank-- the driver, the gunner, and the tank itself-- so you get the triple-kill bonus, and there's another score multiplier for using the laser. The points practically score themselves.

Yeah, Evil, LP by far the easiest Firefight map. I'm surprised you guys didn't do that one for your Endure run. You should get two achievements for making it that far on Alpha Site. Congratulations again.

i had a team carry me to endure and then i had to go ... my wife wanted to play but wasn't ready when we started so i thought i'd get a quick match in. wife wasn't too happy that it lasted 2+ hours... oops. anyway, our final team score was 1,324,641. i'm not sure if the other guys are even registered here, i should have asked.

Bakken Hood, I actually find Alpha Site the easiest map for endure. The Enemies only come at you from 2 hallways and no need to deal with tanks or Choppers. I do find Lost Platoon easiest for getting points though, Those wraiths are awesome. Love being the driver in the warthog though somehow entertains me greatly.

Haha, bad idea to try for a "Quick" firefight match.


Bakken Hood

My condolences to your wife, and my congratulations on that score. Sounds like you'd have taken it if you could have stayed around.

Everyone has Endure except me...
