Welcome to the Official GameTZ MVP forum.
We are having "every man for himself" tournaments on Wednesday nights 10:00 pm EST (7:00 PST). I am willing to organize, but I don't know that I'll be able to make each tourney, so volunteers to host would be appreciated.
We'll accumulate points, kills, cash or whatever's appropriate for each game. We'll play for an hour and see who the top person is. We'll play a variety of game types (slayer/deathmatch, team deathmatch, hardcore, SWAT, etc.) All that I ask is please don't kill your teammates in hardcore, lets be sportsmen 
There's no entry fee, but there will now be a prize! 2 weeks GameTZ subscription time to the winner, donated from the website (so we're now an officially sponsored event!). Only stipulation is that we have to have a decent turnout in order for a prize to be awarded (goal of at least 10 participants), and all participants must be GameTZ members (not necessarily subscribers, but have a GameTZ login).
Make sure that whoever is hosting that week is on your friends list (or on mine), that way you could join their party. Please try to show up 10 minutes before the game time. If anyone can think of a more effecient way, let me know. Please add me to your friends list if not already there (or if you're on the Machete/Rayzor's AA1 GameTZ list, I'm there also). If you are hosting, please be sure to document (preferably by taking pictures of end of round screens) the scores so that we have backup to determine the winner.
I've created a Silver membership account for the GameTZ MVP matches. Please add to your friends list if you're interested in playing. The GamerTag is: GameTZ MVP
Since this is now an official event, we will have to choose one game each week. Rhythm games will have to be taken off as they are too difficult to track, and everyone won't be playing at the same time (against everyone else). So, we'll have to limit to shooters and racers, or whatever other game types you see fit (please let me know).
The prelim schedule for September for Wednesday nights and the games will be as follows:
9/3 Call of Duty 4
9/10 Gears of War
9/17 Burnout Paradise
9/24 ??Open?? R6V2, Halo 3, or Uno (please vote if you haven't already) |
These are the top games played on Xbox live, so most should have them. We'd like to keep this between GameTZers. If there's a small turnout, I guess we could invite friends in, but that'll be up to you guys.
Please let me know if you're interested in playing.
Only reason I'm setting up a separate forum for the Play Date & MVP is because I may utilize some sort of voting system.
Thanks,
Rob

Thanks to those who voted. Looks like we'll be playing Gears of War this Wednesday, July 23rd @ 10pm EST
If we get more than 8 players, we'll need to have 2 matches and break up the players (for example 6 and 4 if we have 10, 6 and 6 if we have 12, etc.). Please let me know if you'd be interested in hosting the match (or one of the matches if there's more than one).
I'm not familiar with multiplayer on this game, and have never hosted, but I figured we'd play:
- Execution mode (so there's reviving, not 1 kill and done, like in Warzone). You still get points for shooting/meleeing someone until they need to be revived, right?
- 3 rounds, 5 minutes each, then switch teams around, play another 3 rounds, etc. Play until 11pm. Is there a way to auto-assign teams, or do the players have to choose teams?
- Friendly Fire off
- Reserve 7 private slots
- Maps can be chosen by host or random if available
If you have any suggestions/comments, please let me know. Like I said I'm a newb on multiplayer.
For those who haven't voted yet, please do so, so you can help pick the games we play. Also, if you haven't voted for Gears and would like to play Wednesday, please vote for that game. This way, I'll know who to invite on game nights.
Thanks,
Rob

No, we already played COD4 this month. I need to fill this Wednesday and next Wednesday with games other than: COD4 or R6V2. We'll play COD4 again in August. |

I actually gave you props in another thread when I first mentioned an "MVP" night to GameTZers. The tourneys that were run on this site lasted for months, so I proposed having a one night "MVP" night each week a la Goozex. At first, it was just for fun, but now the site donates 2 weeks subscription time if we have enough players.
Do you know of any other Goozexers that are on GameTZ? I'll be sure to invite you, and any others.
Welcome to GameTZ!

All I mostly play is cod4 out of those games so I'm not going to really play the others so my vote goes to cod4 and I will try to make it next time. I'm sorry rob for the late reply but I've been buzy this summer. |

Gears was a bust. 6 voted, but only 3 showed up to play. Crooked totally owned us, so I guess that makes him Gears of War MVP. And he'll probably keep that crown as I doubt we'll play it again.
Please cast your votes so that we can add some variety to the MVP matches. I'm just trying to get us to play something other than COD4. Don't get me wrong, it's probably the best multiplayer game out there, but I like variety in my life.
Thanks to all who voted, and thanks to Crooked and BloodnBalls for showing up. |

Just so you know, I threw in a few Xbox original titles in case anyone's interested in playing those for our MVP matches. They're all compatible with the 360:
-Halo 2
-Star Wars Battlefront II
-Conker Live & Reloaded
Please cast your vote if you're interested. |

First of all, COD4 is NOT the best Multiplayer game out there.
Second, sorry I couldn't play (I didn't vote for it either), since I don't have GoW. =/ |

Only one other person has voted for that so far; I don't think a lot of users have it yet. But, put your vote in for any games you're interested in playing. The one for Unreal is HERE |

I'm back at school. I can't get online yet because I need to register my 360, and the school's site is giving me problem. Hopefully I'll have it squared away by next week, though hopefully sooner.

Uno this Wednesday!
Please show up on time if you'd like to play, as late comers will not be allowed due to tournament-style play.
Please send me message via Xbox live if you'd like to play: RobAndDiana
We'll also have to have multiple hosts, one for each table. Hoping to get at least 2 full tables.
Not exactly sure how best to organize this one, but here's my thoughts:
If only 2 tables, then we'll play 2 matches to 250 points, and the winners of those matches will go to the final match. If more than 2 tables, then we'll just play 1 match, and the winners will go to final match. If more than 4 tables, then we'll have to have a semi-final round in between.
The way we'll work it is, whoever wins a match (250 points), send me a message via live, then I'll send a message, letting you know who's playing in the next matches. |

I decided to start hosting MVP nights on the site that originally gave me the idea to start ones here (Goozex). Unfortunately, the MVP nights on GameTZ were hit or miss, and mostly misses.
Anyone can feel free to continue the GameTZ MVP nights, and make them whenever you want, and you can still use my personal forum.
For those that have Goozex accounts, check out the following forum thread. We play Monday nights @ 10pm EST. You can win 200 Goozex points if we have 8 or more players (200 Goozex points is worth around $10)
Click Here for Goozex MVP Thread
If you do not have a Goozex account, you can get a free game, and free trade by clicking below and signing up:
Please let me know your gamertag if you will be playing in the Goozex matches, so I remember to invite you. However, as stated in the Goozex thread, if you will be joining in the Goozex matches, then you should send a friend request to: Goozex MVP
Click Here
Still look forward to playing with everyone on XBox Live . . . especially with the new upcoming "Party" feature! |
