Locked and loaded! The Podtacular season is under way.

The first week is over and this is the season update to let you know what went down and what you should expect for the following week.

Well, we didn’t have many surprises in the first week other than Dangle Snipes shutting down Mini Boss by 2-0 to set a nice and strong start for week one. If you have been following the Season Predictions topic you know that MB is one of the favorites among some of the members of the community. Well they will have to work hard for a good second week in order to keep their hopes up for this season. As many of you know only 2 teams from each group will advance to the second round.

The other nail bitter came from Team Supremacy vs Team H2SO4 taking a full series of 3 games to decide who would take the 3 points home. You can check the third game of the series in this week’s featured match to the right of the screen. Just click on the video to check out how it all went down!

So if you want to check out how the groups look like, just click on the group’s link above this page!

Well now some reminders and more information to make week 2 even more enjoyable.

I’d like to please ask all of you who are submitting your matches to use the following format on the subject line.

Team 1 (win) vs Team 2

It just makes my life easier to know who the winner is and who the matches were played against.

Well for the host. Please be sure to run a quick host check slayer match. About 30 seconds to make sure that the host is reliable, in order to avoid problems down the line. In order to answer all of your host questions please be sure to check this amazing link created by Kiaffex. In order to get there CLICK HERE

**** Also keep in mind that we are in the groups round, where you are only required to play a best of 3 matches. Meaning that if a team wins 2 in a row, there’s no need for the third match to be played. If you choose to play the last match, PLEASE do not submit it to me. I don’t need to see it. I just need the matches that are important for the point count.

And for the part you were all waiting for… Here are the matches that will be played this week.

NOTE: This week we will be using the winning map of the podtacular map contest. MLG REVERT. If you don’t have the map please be sure to download it HERE – SLOT 6

The format for this week will be: Objective – Slayer – Objective

• CTF on MLG Revert (Please use GB CTF Ons for this gametype)
• MLG Slayer on Narrows
• MLG Ball on Guardian

Thanks everyone for playing your matches. And let’s see an even better week 2!
Good luck everyone.

As the first week of the season is being played out, i would like to come and mention a few points that will help with some questions surrounding some of our players.

First of all, the host rule. As many of you know, the host rules is not nearly as bad in Halo 3 as it used to be in Halo 2. Due to that fact we leave up to the teams of the season and their common sense to pick the first host and also choose the colors (Red or Blue). Therefore when doing those things, please be courteous and let’s avoid unneeded fights and arguments. Do a quick host check and jump into the fun. All right?!?

Second, i would like to address some changes made by MLG to some of our maps. They can be found [url=http://www.mlgpro.com/?q=node/204656]HERE AT THIS LINK[/url]. Since we’re not using Onslaught this week, im not really worried about that. However in case Onslaught is being used next week, be sure to download the most up to date version or it.
Now for “The Pit” the change they made to it is very minor and i won’t hold teams accountable for downloading the most updated version or playing in the previous one. If you have the updated version, GREAT… if not, then not really a big deal. Just be sure to download and use it for upcoming weeks OR TILL V5 IS RELEASED. Which is when we will be switching the maps and gametypes to the most updated version.

Also just a reminder, be fair when schedulling your matches and try to make an effort with your team mates and oponents. Let’s make this easier on all of us.

Have a great rest of the week and be sure to PM me your results using the format described in the [url=https://podtacular.com/node/6749]Season Update 1[/url]

Thanks again and Keep on Fraggin’ Trucks!
