On Sept 24, 2013, HFFL will turn 2 years old. To celebrate this, I invite you to a special daily challenge.
From 7-8pm Eastern time HFFL will be looking to start a new record. Most gamers to play in one specific Halo game in one hour. To do this gamers will only be allowed to game for a maximum of ONE MINUTE during the whole of the hour if the 16 person partyl is full. If not full, you may continue to play. Once the lobby is full, I will ask someone to leave to make room for an other gamer. No guests will be allowed as I can’t account for them being separate gamers by gamertag during this event.
Please do not come back into the game so we can allow for more gamers to participate. The potential for this is 960 gamers in the same one-hour game of Halo if each gamer plays only one minute’s worth of time.
Now given the dropping out of the game when we reach the 16 person limit and I ask someone to leave to make room for another, it’s likely we’re going to experience LAG. How that will affect the time played, I’m not sure. So the game will be ended at 9pm regardless of actual playing time. To do this, I will be handicapping the potential amount of gamers by being the ONLY one to stay in this game the whole time. This is to also facilitate booting people out of the game if they are staying longer than they should be…
So with all that said, PLEASE get the word out! Message your friends on XBOX, text, tweet, facebook, e-mail, call, skype and whatever other method reasonable you can to tell them about this event!
I’ll have the party open during this game, so you can join in freely.
Search for gamertag: HaloFanForLife1 at that time and put yourself into the queue to join.
Let’s see what kind of record we can set!
(I’ll be honest, it doesn’t matter to me how many show up, though the more the merrier of course. This is an event that hopefully will start a chain of repeated events of this that other Halo communties will attempt to top.)
