Consensus by committee is a much derided form of management – criticisms include a tendency towards appeasement and an easy middle ground. But this week the Clanbase, Crossfire & AEF admins, in partnership with the ET Committee fought back against the trend and made an alteration that caused outrage.

FlyingDJ is a man of astute wisdom and knowledge, a man with many years experience in all things esports - first as a layman, league admin, commentator and later Z list TV personality - and a man who's opinion carries significant weight - but unfortunately, for you and for me, and for the man himself, he's often wrong. He was wrong about Crossfire, he was wrong about Quakecon and by god is he wrong about Groundhog Day.

On the field, this ClanBase NationsCup has been a veritable success. It’s shown us the best Enemy Territory has to offer; upsets, excitement, nail biting finishes and superb gameplay - but it’s also thrown up the murkier side of competitive gaming.

It’s the perpetual question – how to improve the perfect? How to strike that balance between tactical variation, class structure and the ‘feel’ of gameplay?

It’s a difficult question, one that’s puzzled map makers and admins alike for years. Restrict this, reintroduce that, keep this, change that. An endless task of reinventing, reworking and sometimes ruining the wheel.

The world is gazing down the precipice of a new era, a new future - change. There's a shift in the landscape of the laissez faire heading our way – no, I’m not talking about the incoming Obama administration or the credit crunch; but the future of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. The AntiPro developers have created the opportunity for this community to once again shape the direction of their game.

Winghaven dusted off the panzefaust, seec took us to the extreme and violence was in the air. Just who is this years winner of the first inaugural Crossfire Movie Award?
