One-Bomb gets simulated in H4
SEspider misses Assault – so he tweaked the Grifball gametype a little bit to bring it back (sort of). There are hardcoded changes he can’t override… but it’s playable. Go read his description, and then grab a copy to play with!(Louis Wu 16:50:38 UTC)

BigTeamBattle.net $1000 Spring Tournament Registration Now Open
From TsengMao x MT:
So, you think you know competitive Halo, eh? I’m sure when you hear the terms “competitive Halo”, you close your eyes and picture maps like Sanctuary, The Pit, Midship, Lockout or the smaller maps of old. What if I told you that you were programmed to believe that’s the only form of competitive Halo when in reality it is much, much bigger? Big Team Battle doubles the meager 4v4 variants and pits two teams of eight against one another, featuring a much more expansive offering of the Halo sandbox. And yes, it’s competitive, too.
BigTeamBattle.net is hosting a prize money tournament this spring with the help of DaveEasily that pits 8 teams against one another for a $1,000 grand prize. Although it’s an invitational, excess teams can battle through a play-in tournament the day before the official tournament on May 4th. Check out full details at the official BTBnet forums sign-up thread.
Matches will be a best of 5 for Round 1 with the latter two rounds as best of 7s, featuring a sampling of game types from the Official BTBnet File Share. Don’t miss your chance to assemble your seven (to eleven) closest friends to create a roster for your chance to compete in the BTBnet Spring 2013 $1000 Tournament!BigTeamBattle.net $1000 Spring Tournament Registration Now Open
