Team [Housewares]

United Offensive

Hey look, it’s Mac. Long time, I know.

Anyways, real quick employee meeting.

As Ash mentioned earlier, we have switched to Call of Duty: United Offensive. In order to play, you will need to:

Make sure you have the 1.51 patch installed

Make sure you have the CoD_UO Map Pack installed

If you need either of the above items, they can be downloaded at http://callofduty.com/uopatch/

Make sure you have the latest Punkbuster update

If you need a Punkbuster update, go to the Punkbusterwebsite

Have fun, I’ll have more stuff later.

For Immediate Release

Effective immediately.
The Team Housewares server has dropped the Heat of Battle Mod.
We are back on original Call of Duty.
Stay tuned for further updates.

Bash Ya Later!

End Of Year Stats

Welcome to 2006, Team Housewares!

We had a great time in 2005. Team Housewares turned one year old, and we had a chance to play with a lot of internet folks. I would like to thank everyone that comes back week after week to join in the funtivities.

Since it’s the first of the year, the stats have been reset and we all get to start fresh. Below are the end-of-year results for Team Housewares 2005. Please note that the stats are for active Team Housewares employees only. Even though a non-employee may have higher stats, they are not listed here. View the Total Stats for full results for each and every player that played at Housewares during 2005.

Now, for other important news. It has been decided that we will be returning to regular Call of Duty, dropping the Heat of Battle mod we implemented earlier. So, starting next weekend, please DO NOT use your HoB shortcut to launch the game. Use the normal CoD shortcut. We will be returning to our previous configuration of no pistols, movable MG-42’s, normal maps, etc. I am sure we will be making further modifications as the year progresses.

Thanks for playing everyone, and see you on Saturday!

Turkey Day

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all Team Housewares employees!

I would like to give thanks to each and every person that has played on Housewares this year. It’s been a lot of fun. Thank you!

It is also time to say ”Happy Birthday to Us”. That’s right. This month marks the one year anniversary of Team Housewares. We’ve had a great time playing with everyone, whether we had our asses handed to us, or we did the ass-handing (that doesn’t happen too often). We’ve went from CoD version 1.4 Rifles Only, to CoD version 1.5 Rifles Only-no pistols, to Rifles Only-moveable MG44s, to our latest mod, the Heat of battle.

Ash is poised to break 2000 bashes for the year.

And remember, the stats will reset in January. Who will come out on top for 2005?

We will see you all on Saturday!
