There's been something on my mind for quite some time. Here in Lahore we have a lot of gaming meetups but most often than not they've been phadda meetups. Street Fighter, Tekken, it's like these people know nothing else. We'd always plan a Halo meetup, a COD meetup but it'd never come to fruition. I've finally decided to take the initiative and make this thread.

The game of choice will be Halo Reach (This is still a WIP as it's the people that'll decide in the end though I really want to just play Halo, Black Ops is also a viable option)

The venue will be Project X9 in Model Town - alternately Eclectic Vibrations in DHA but I'd prefer the other venue

We could even make it a fortnightly thing if it picks up.

So what do you guys think? If I get enough favourable responses we can try it out this Sunday. If there's no response, this thread shall die in obscurity.
I only need serious people to reply, no "I'll be there most definitely" and then no where to be seen on the day in question.
Interested people pm me cell no.

I literally fumbled with the mouse to click this thread as quickly as possible when i saw "The Halo: Reach meetup thread" written on the latest threads in front of the chitchat section.

I opened the thread, only to find out that the title goes on further...

....I cried inside :'(

No LAN on KZ3 and both locales only have 360s. Anyways I love Halo, always have, never got to play Reach as much as I'd have liked so I thought why not.

That is if it succeeds, I'm not expecting much right now but I hope in a week or two there are some people that get interested in the idea. It would be amazing if something were to happen by Sunday but highly unlikely

when do we do this?
Make it a Sunday.

And Omy, make a list of people who have confirmed they will come. They only have a limited number of X360s at EV. Plus we might have to book the whole place beforehand.

Are there really no people on these forums that play Halo? How is that even possible?!
Anyways had our first session at a friends place, played some 2V2. The game is still as fun as I remembered.
The regulars were there but I want some new people to join in too dammit, I want some 8v8 mayhem!

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
