We have been flying fairly under the radar the last few weeks, but with just one month left until the start of our Summer Season, we're turning up the heat.  Looking forward to seeing a lot of old friends from our Media War Memorial Auditorium days as we start running events in Drexel Hill, PA.

We announced our Halo 3 gametypes today.  And in a move that will surprise some PHL Old Heads, we have decided to use MLG v5 rules.  We explain the decision in a post over at Clantacular.com.

 With one month left until the start of the 2008 Summer Season, Philly Gamers is pleased to announce the finalized ruleset and maps for the Halo 3 Doubles Division. For the 2008 Summer Season, we will be using mlg v5 TS rules and maps. To avoid any possible confusion, we will use v5 rules for the entire Summer Season. A decision for the Winter Season (which we expect will begin in October), will be made no less than one month prior to the season. We are still only running 2v2 events, and will only be using Team Slayer. After playing several different gametypes, we decided that the most competitive ruleset available to us was the mlg set. We also acknowledge that many of our dyed-in-the-wool PHL players dedicate many hours every week to practicing on mlg maps. We do not want to put any player at a disadvantage, and since mlg games are available in match making, they are universal enough that any player with any interest in tournament or competitive play, or even a casual LAN experience can familiarize him or herself with the gametype and maps prior to the first event of the season. It is our hope that by using the widely accepted mlg ruleset and maps, will help to establish PhillyGamers as the Delaware Valley's premier console based eSports league. This decision is the latest, but by no means the last we will make to ensure that our players are playing the most competitive maps and rules available in the Halo community. None of this, however, changes the fact that Sundance DiGiovanni wears stupid ass track suits. We will need a few players to bring HDD's to faciliate the v5 map set which includes DLC maps. (Please PM me or Saint for details.) The season starts in one month. Make your plans. Philly will never be the same.

Keep checking back over the next month for more information.
