CHIP: Chiron Halo International Playtesters

A new initiative by Taxi and me (2310), CHIP exists to beta test and provide feedback on new mods.

To join the CHIPs:

1. Post here.
2. Add [CHIP] to your in-game name.
3. Check the forums/IRC for mod testing events!

To have your mod tested by the CHIPs:

1. Make a new thread with subject "[CHIP] *mod name*"
2. Provide the following details: link to mod thread (if there is one), if you want to play with us, and if you do, what times you are available.

I want to join.

Is there a shorter prefix? Bit too long for my name... Or I could go as CHIPmunk...(bad pun that works)

Is it the same as mt
And can I be both [MT] [CHIP] Pyrhex?

Yo, uh, it's not really the same because MT is more focused on reviewing released maps, while CHIP is more focused on helping modders develop maps.

But, like, actually CHIP never went anywhere because the two founders - me and 2310 - suddenly became super busy and didn't have the time to even write an introduction thread in the new section that monoman added. : (



So hey, i take this chance to officially ask Monoman to delete the board, like, temporarily until either me or 2310 can actually be an active part of it. : \
Sorry if we got your hopes up, peeps. L-like, i promise that whenever i'll get some time i'll start this shit again and do an awesome group.

...providing there will be modders to help and people willing to do so, lol.

People are usually willing to provide feedback when asked, anyhow. There's not much need for an official group.

Well, like, the idea for this group was to have some people that would be able to host and playtest mods alongside the modders.

We came up with this idea because finding testers is not always easy. A group with people that are trained to playtest maps would anyway be better than the random two guys you met on HMD that just say "cool!", y'know.

I mean, the idea was to be able to give constructive feedback and shit like that, while also having enough people to test stuff like weapon balancing and gameplay flow, something that is not easy to do by yourself.

Ohh, I see what you mean. That would be useful.

I could do mod testing. I have plenty of people (regular players) who have been mod testing with me for quite a while now, like back in demo days... I could ask them to do the mod testing...

Are they're still available? If yes: cool!!! If we get enough people we could begin makin' some plans! : )

i would like to join up i mean why the heck not


p.s. hi vader

I believe they are. I have 3 testers always ready. 2 more are lil busy but they may find some time to test them out.
