Fri, Jun 20 2008 03:38:09 EST Fireworks for Independence Day

On the 4th July this year, the RPWS will be holding a special FFA match to celebrate (among other things) Independence Day (For a full list of occasions, see the end of this post). And what better way to celebrate it than with fireworks? And what better to use as fireworks than rockets, Spartan lasers, missiles, and other heavy weaponry?

This July 4th at 8pm EST, a special 1-hour free-for-all match will be held on a heavily forged Valhalla, filled with heavy vehicles, lasers, rockets and other big beefy items. To make things more fun, each player spawns with a rocket launcher and another random weapon, and spawns in a sealed location filled with goodies on a quick respawn timer, before venturing out into the open to celebrate with mindless carnage!

And to aid in the celebrations - the winner will win a 12-month XBL subscription card (to be purchased after the match, since I’m not entirely sure whether European codes will work on US accounts and vice versa) - so there’s even more reason to celebrate! More prizes will be made available if there is enough demand and if there is room on my credit card!

If you wish to take part, simple reply to this post with your Gamertag. First 15 to reply (obviously I’m in spot 16) get first invites on the night, and then the party gets opened for anyone else to join. The winner is the player with the most points at the end of the hour.

Gameweek 5, taking place the weekend of 5th-6th July on Foundry will still go ahead as planned!

Gametype and map forging updates will be posted between now and Independence Day. Have fun, and hopefully this will be a great 4th July!

Think about it, how else do you think you’re gonna send them the news? How are you gonna contact them?

Ah forget it, you probably can’t figure it out from that.

From the looks of things yes. There’s a few technical problems on my end, but I should have them sorted within the hour.

Sorry for the delay, but these things happen!
