Forum:Black Ops II Community Event

I suggest that we have a community event for all/either PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. If there isn't enough signed for one platform, we might cancel that one out and use the platform with the most users signed up to it. There hasn't been one in a while (I think). As the name states, the event will be in Call of Duty: Black Ops II, in a private match. The event will be held on a date selected by the community. The teams can be made by a trusted user, or by the leaders themselves.

I hope you all agree with this idea for an event. 08:31, April 21, 2014 (UTC)

"either PS3 and Xbox 360", Why not both? I mean, if we held one for 1 specific console, it would alienate everyone that doesn't own that console. And even more so to those that have it on PC. 08:42, April 21, 2014 (UTC)


 * I originally thought that there wouldn't be enough players if we held the event on both consoles. I'll change it right now to both consoles. 08:46, April 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * Why not just let people sign up for any platform they want? If there isn't enough people for a certain platform cancel it for that platform.  Magma-Man  00:38, April 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Good idea, but as Sam said before, what about people who have only one platform? Such as myself (PS3). 06:29, April 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * That's what I was talking about. You could sign up for PS3 and assuming enough others sign up for PS3 you can go ahead and do it, same for PC and Wii U, although admittedly those platforms have a much smaller chance of working out.  Magma-Man  01:13, April 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok, I see what you mean. 01:17, April 23, 2014 (UTC)

I wouldn't mind if my PS3 could update Black Ops 2 (or any other game). I think a simultaneous event for Ghosts and Black Ops 2 would be good. I'm guessing there won't be a lot of people that would want to sign up for Ghosts though unfortunately. Kylet357 ·  talk  10:48, April 21, 2014 (UTC)

I'd have to upgrade to Xbox Live Gold again but I'd be all for it, had a great time with all the previous community events I've been to. As for Kylet's mention of Ghosts, that may not be a good idea, A simultaneous event for both games would under-mine both events since you'd have to choose one, that would also all the more ensure this event not working out just as several other community events have in the past. Furthur split-up would also happen due to several people just buying Ghosts for X1 or (as I have) PS4 and not getting the last-gen version. On top of all that Ghosts has also generally shown to not be a popular entry in the series, so I feel Black Ops II is the best choice.  Magma-Man  00:36, April 22, 2014 (UTC)

It would be nice to agree on a time for the event before signing up. Some people (like me) have weird work schedules and would be nice to see if I could play before I sign my name somewhere. 01:26, April 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * What would be a good time for you? 01:27, April 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * My college semester ends May 7th, and until then I can only play on the weekends. After that though, I would be relatively free. I guess pick a date and we will see if it works for everybody? A weekend though would probably work best for most people (just don't pick May 10th, i have an airsoft game) 20:35, April 23, 2014 (UTC)

I'm down to play BOII but unless it's after May 6th, I won't be able to. Joe Copp 16:47, April 23, 2014 (UTC)

What about PC? 19:17, April 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * Compared to PS3 and Xbox 360, PC doesn't have as many players. 11:36, April 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * So, I shan't be able to join then. 11:40, April 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry, thy does not hath console? 12:01, April 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * I have a console. However I play BOII on PC currently. 12:04, April 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'll add a section for PC. 12:07, April 24, 2014 (UTC)

We need to choose the leaders for the teams to be chosen, or a trusted user to make the teams or leaders. Who do you think the Leaders/Trusted user should be? 12:16, April 24, 2014 (UTC)~

Why BOII and not Ghosts? I'm not complaining or anything, just curious. Conqueror of all Zombies (talk) 03:36, April 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * I've already addressed this in my earlier comment, CoaZ. Please read it because I'm not reposting.  Magma-Man  07:51, April 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ah. Okay. My bad.

I'm game for an event. I know we haven't had one in some time. Pcthomas2


 * "The event will be at 2 to 3 pm." Pacific time?
 * Australian Western Standard Time. 07:56, May 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * So in other words 2AM Eastern Standard Time. Pcthomas2

Date
Ok, so I understand that we all need to agree on a specific date before voting for console, so I have a suggestion. We could have in the next two weeks, either on the 3rd, or 4th of May.

If you have any suggestions for what date we should have the event, post them below. 12:12, April 24, 2014 (UTC)

Time Suggestions:
Damac can only join in on Xbox after the 13th so we could probably use that as the earliest. Also it may be better if we have a bit more time to organize this in general. As for me personally I can come at almost any day or time.  Magma-Man  07:55, April 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * So maybe the 11th? That allows us about 2 weeks or so. 12:12, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * Though I'd like to participate, if it's easier to plan for a date before the 13th don't let me inconveinence Can't spell the event. 16:32, April 27, 2014 (UTC)

Times, Dates and Other things
Since its the 20th of May, I've decided to go ahead and choose the dates and times for the event, based on everything said in this forum. 08:54, May 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * The event takes place 30th of June (Sunday), allowing us about 25 days to organise the teams and things.
 * The event will be at 2 to 3 pm AWST (Australian Western Standard Time).
 * If we aren't able to hold the event for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 because there are not enough players, or for some other reason, then we might "cut-off" a console.
 * If we do have enough players for all the consoles, then we could have it either on the same day, or individual days.
 * The leaders will either volunteer, and then I will select the teams, or we could have the leaders select the teams.

Other Ideas:
Quick question, 2-3 pm in what time zone exactly? Conqueror of all Zombies (talk) 07:31, June 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * "So in other words 2AM Eastern Standard Time." 07:47, June 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Not too helpful. Can you state the timezone in the actual list so it can be converted easier.
 * Sure, but I'm moving the date forward a bit until we can get more people. 12:20, June 9, 2014 (UTC)
