Whatever the weather, Customs Night is coming again. Customs Night, if you're unaware, is a weekly get-together in Halo held by Community Customs where everyone present plays custom games. This happens every Friday at 9:00 PM US Eastern time and continues until most everyone doesn't feel like playing any more. At Customs Night, we play custom and standard gametypes on custom maps (and sometimes a standard map or two), ranging from simple to complicated, from old to new, and from competitive to silly. If this sounds like fun, why not join us? You can do that by simply replying to this post with your gamertag. If you do, you'll get a message when we're starting.
Things to keep in mind:
- we pretty much play whatever the people present want to play, but we try to mix things up from game to game or at least every two or three games
- we don't run modded content because of concerns over the present and future risks of bans
- one of us admins (a group including iHyokin, ShadowoftheVoid, and Gnrl Vagueness) will have party lead all night (to ensure consistency and fairness, among other things), so...
- if you want to play something we don't already have, you'll have to tell us where we can get it-- if you do this in the lobby, we prefer that you have it in your file share, but giving the gamertag of someone else that has it in their file share is fine too
- we enjoy talking, and it's important to running Customs Night, so please, talk, just don't talk over anyone, OK?
- bringing maps and gametypes is highly encouraged, whether they're yours or someone else's, but it's not required
- other things you may want to bring: a snack, a friend, a joke, a story, something enlightening or interesting
- that time again is 9:00 PM EST this Friday and the game is Halo 4-- I hope we see you then!
Customs Night Questions

In Community Customs and Customs Night news, we're considering changing the line-up of when we play different Halo games. As it stands, we play Halo 4 most of the time and we play Halo: Reach the first week of each month, with Halo 3 thrown in occasionally. We're considering playing Halo 3 on a regular basis and reducing or possibly even removing Halo 4, and maybe changing how often we play Reach too.
This consideration is being driven by the amount and variety of custom maps and gametypes; in Reach there are more, and some people see the ones in Halo 3 as having higher quality. The consideration of this is also being driven by just the amount of fun people have with different games.
It comes down to what people want to play, and that comes down to opinions, so I'm asking for the opinions of people that play, and people that will play, or very strongly consider it, if we change our line-up. What do you think? What schedule would you like to see? Would adding Halo 3 or reducing or removing Halo 4 be a deal-breaker, and make you not want to play? Do you even care?
While I'm at it, we've stuck with 9:00 PM EST on Fridays for a long time, but I've noticed the last year or two people's schedules seem to have dis-aligned with that, they're now busy during that time and have different free time, so what would be good for you guys?
