[Announce-gamesoc] Massive Halo 2 Tournament!

by Stephen Courtney

Hi all You've probably already seen the posters by now for tech week, but if you haven't we're pleased to announce a massive Halo 2 tournament tomorrow(Wednesday 2nd March) evening in the seminar room in the hub. We'll have four linked X-Boxes, four projectors, and lots of refreshments for your enjoyment. Business gets underway at 6pm and will run throughout the evening, with both teamplay and deathmatches. It should be a fun night and a rare opportunity to try Halo 2 the way it's meant to be played. So I hope to see you all there. If you've got an x-box we'd appreciate it if you brought along a joypad because we're short a couple, but if all goes to plan we should have full 16 player up and running. Regards Stephen Ents, DCU Gamesoc

[Announce-gamesoc] Counter-Strike Selection Match

by simon.kilroy2＠mail.dcu.ie

Hey folks, As some of you may already know CSD have challenged us to a game of Counter-Strike to celebrate the beginning of our Lab Gaming this year. And so this THURSDAY at 7pm in C206 in the Henry Gratten Building we'll be having a Tournament to select our 5 man team to go up against CSD. The tournament will run as follows... There will be a number of 5 man teams randomly selected who will face off against each other. The top players from these matches will then progress and new teams will be selected. At the end of this process we will have chosen our 5 man DCU team. While the games are being played people will be able to either watch the game being played on the projector or play any of the other games on the machines, hence you guys wont be sitting around doing nothing... For those who don't want to enter the tournament there will still be the regular selection of games available for play during the night... It promises to be a great evening so we'd encourage you all to make an appearance... Hope to see you all there, The Games Soc Committee
