Welcome to the Classic Playlist Organization Thread

So, obviously there are TONS of supporters for the Classic/Oldschool Playlist idea. Who knows if Epic has heard us, or if they're thinking about adding something like this ... so you know what I say? Let's just get something together and enjoy it ourselves until we get an answer!

The Purpose of This Thread
To schedule times for Classic games of Gears of War 3 using the Lancer and the Gnasher Shotgun, omitting the Sawed-off Shotgun, Retro-Lancer, and (optionally) the Hammerburst II. Players can post in this thread with what they'd like to play, whether or not they can host, and when they would like to set the game up. If you'd like to host, I'll put your name under the corresponding section along with the date(s)/day(s) you are gonna play it, to include your gamertag, and we'll have a regular classic playlist game night. To see the Oldschool Playlist v2 thread, click here (http://forums.epicgames.com/threads/828784-Old-School-Playlist-v2)!

For example, your post would look like this:

Hosting TDM / <Gamertag / Wednesday Nights at 9PM EST or Wednesday, October 5th @ 9PM EST

Be prepared to receive messages/friend invites if you volunteer to host the classic playlist on your night!


RULES


1. No Sawed-off Shotgun.
2. No Retro-Lancer.
3. Vote on the Hammerburst prior to starting.
4. All maps are allowed.
5. All gametypes are allowed.
6. All other weapons are allowed.
7. Violators of rules 1 and 2 will be booted from the match and not permitted to participate in future Classic Playlist events.
8. Be Respectful of other players!
9. Have fun!

PLAYTIMES
Because everyone is going to want to play a different game type, we will have sub-categories of groups. Post here or send me a PM if you're willing to host and I'll try to update the main thread with your game night.

Yep, here's the link on it: http://gearsofwar.wikia.com/wiki/Hammerburst_II

"Currently, the Hammerburst II has largely replaced the previous model, the Hammerburst Assault Rifle."

They weren't fundamentally changed. The Lancer and the Gnasher still perform like they always have. In Gears of War 1, the Hammerburst was a burst fire weapon, kind of like the Gorgon Pistol in Gears 2. After it changed to the current "model", upgrading both design and function, it was named the Hammerburst II.

Eh, not so well. Just about no one showed up (or registered for that matter), but its just starting. The more people that wanna organize something like this the better off it'll be.

****ty to hear, I'm sure it'll pick-up though. Not too easy getting 10 players together to be able to do this...

Harro

Yeah that's true. I mean I've done it in the past and it was awesome, I think people just are habitual in logging on and finding their own game.

I'm still on the fence with the Hammerburst Idea; not sure how the oldschoolers feel about having it in the game or not. I think the idea is to have the DBS/Retro out of it.

Hey guys, we had a blast last night. We didn't have a ton of people show up but if we can get more together, then we can really get this going! If you're serious about an Old School Playlist, then you gotta stop by for one of these events. We're trying to do them as often as possible, so post what time you're free, what game mode you wanna play, and we'll try to get it going for ya!

I don't mind playing anything either, but unfortunately we wind up just playing regular games if not a lot of people show - but its still fun to kill off guys in TDM or Execution
