no cod4 or TF2?

Hi,

I've added COD4 to the list however we're not sure what the prizes for the competition will be at this stage.

TF2 seems to require large (8 or so) team sizes which don't seem to be very popular however we will be running some organised games of TF2. Not sure whether we'll run a TF2 comp at this stage.

Give the CS:S winners some case fans and give the COD4 players the 500

agreed

[BM] - because MOAR!

COD4 is a better game but im pretty sure there are way more CS clans/players at these lans. TF2 works fine in teams of 6, thats what we did last time and we had about 5 or 6 teams

yeh... but im shit at CS

should be some good competition tho im looking forward to it

i'll probably get a few nc games going as well, i'll see if i can get it put up on the EMS to let ppl know that they will be held, but its may be that they will be spur of the moment games.

needs more epic TF2 action

yep

TF2 comp would be nice, its all about teh time it takes tho, and how many people want to play obviously

tf2 ftw

4v4 for cod4. played last time and there were alot of teams cash prize for sure:P we won lol

But sucked at the same time rofl

This is great!

Do the comps always run with the latest version? wanting to install everything before the lan - so wanting to know what patches to use.

Yes

Flatout 2 run 1.2 or something? I have seen a patch around... whats the version i should run for flatout 2?

It specifically states that Flatout 2 will be on Saturday. Can we get a rough time on that? (like do I have to be there on the opening hours of the event?)

And is it going to be a race or a destruction derby? (racing is more appropriate for a racing wheel, so here's hoping)

Thanks

Time is TBD but it wont be 10am saturday, most likely in the evening

In terms of version, we will not be using a patched version of flatout 2, for the following reasons

Most people use it unpatched (when in doubt go with the majority)
there is no severe issue with the unpatched version

If, i find that most people have patched up their flatout 2 installs for V7, this may change, but rest assured ill figure out an easy way to roll out the patches

Hope to see you all saturday

Yeah I'm over the destruction derby it needs to be a class moderated race.

race requires more skillz
