Many members from the OC community will be taking part in a game night on our Dallas game server. Anyone else from the Halo community is welcome to join, which of course includes you guys.

We will be playing this Sunday at 1pm PST/4pm EST/9pm GMT

Sounds interesting. Maybe I will show up, but I'm not usually interested in playing weapon/vehicle changing mods.

They're well balanced, beyond that of the stock sets at least

Hey look, it got moved all the way to announcements. Now, no one wil see this thread =p. Balanced is debatable, although it was still pretty fun.

I don't think I understand the reasoning ...sorry?

Something you have to get a feel for, like any game. Glad you enjoyed them though.

Tell us more about Open Carnage.

It wouldn't be appropriate for me to discuss on another forum.
Though if you're interested, of course feel free to check it out =]

I asked, and so it's appropriate. The rules here at MGM might be much less strict than on other forums; we typically only follow a set of common ethics rules. Since it seems like you're taking the stance of "outsider", I invite you to explain the purposes of the other forum you mentioned. I looked for myself before I asked, but was unable to ascertain an answer. Therefore, I asked here.

Always weary of the trick questions from a community I don't personally know, so, sorry for initially dodging the question. I guess I've had too much experience with Modacity =p

We're a fresh community with most all of our registered users active daily, primarily users who would frequent modhalo before it was hacked. It was down for a couple months because most of the administration which could have done something were inactive, so we ended up starting another forum as sort of a refuge for the community. Following some drama with the administration after the forums came back up, I decided to keep opencarnage going, and the community ended up staying due to our activity and lack of silly drama.

At the moment we don't really have a big niche like modding that brings in fresh users like modding resources and support, we didn't have any interest to compete with modhalo so it's stayed as mostly a community forum. Users are able to submit specific news articles they find interesting on just about any subject, with a specific usergroup that goes through and checks them out to be posted to a specific section for discussion, which gets mirrored and synced to our front page to help attract new members.

We have a dedicated Minecraft server with dynmap that syncs to our forums and often run gamenights on Halo or TF2 about every week on our other servers. At the moment our Minecraft server is down as we wait for Bukkit to release RB 1.2, though we expect it to be back up soon.
In general we're a friendly community with a mature staff whom are all interested in seeing our forum grow.

Tell them about HaloDemoMods.com, the wiki which I started for MGM. I know you folks would enjoy the resources we've put up there. I would also appreciate contributions to that halo modding wiki. It's quite self-explanatory if you consider it a modding wiki.

There's also a shortcut to the Halo Demo MGM forum using this URL:

With the imminent release of Pearl 2.0 which can convert demo/CE maps to Full, you'll see more effort on my part in making a page for each mod and attaching the halo full version of each demo mod to the mods' pages.

The Mod Database is mostly for use by HDemoLauncher, where the list of all the mods is published on a single page. This should ideally be a template, so I'll have my work cut out for me there also.

We're kicking off another game night for old times sake, I've updated the OP with the new details.
Anyone here interested?
