5on5 or 6on6 now?

by Ethr • 10 Jan 2011, 14:19 • Journals
Yo crossfirebro's,

With all the talk of 5on5 v 6on6 I'm wondering whether its worth getting another player for #normality.

At the moment we have 5 and its pretty stable, except for the xmas break, so getting one more player shouldn't be hard except for some changes to tactics.

But is it worth doing in terms of finding opponents, cups etc... obviously there isn't a 6on6 ladder at the moment but thats not a big deal.

what should I do? recruit a 6th or not?

<3 Ethr

peace.

Actually you won't find many servers with 6o6-configs. And 6o6 with mobile MG sucks.

why does it suck?

I personally do not like it. Makes the rifle extremely important and is sometimes pretty frustrating when you just get shreddered. There are enough powerful spots for it.

Found a nice quote which pretty much explains what I mean:
Quote by wacoDizzy
I abused MG42 a lot, and it was totally insane.
- SD2 you could start with mg and setup behind the first tree you pass when going up. This would usually give you 2-3 kills, you just had to make sure to dodge the first rifle being shot. You'd never stay in that position for longer than one spawn, but it was a great opener which put pressure on defence straight off the bat. I raped bullvox heartbreakers in oc 2nd div finals ages ago. They lost flag the first spawn. He still hates me for it.

- grush you could put mg42 below bridge. Take gold + put mg42 below bridge = 4-5 man kills. I have shitloads of demos where I took down +4 guys without putting any effort into it. Just position a sec or two before spawn and theres not much they can. The position below the bridge was so hard to shoot by smg you could even stay there assuming you had some guys camping 2nd arch to take care of a potential rifle attack. Guy at first arch could kill you if he used spawnpoint 2 + forward at spawn and used the spawnshield as protection, but then again we usually had one guy blocking / controlling first exit of spawn. In a worst case scenario you still have 1 kill - 1 death.

Yes you can take down mg42 with rifle, but theres plenty of spots on maps where it is tricky for a rifle to shoot you AND he needs to know where you are. Grush you could also put mg42 on top of tank instead of below bridge, bremen had 2-3 nice spots. When MG42 was used as a panzerfaust it was dominating. Its all about setting it up in a surprise position like radar on fake radar and kill 2-3 on west. It was overpowerd and abused by noobs like me. I still miss it, but it really made sense they removed it.

True, but as there aren't too many 6o6-teams yet and some guys just want to play on their own server. It just wouldn't be as easy as in 5o5 I suppose.

No. You can play 6v6 for fun, but 5v5 will stay if you want to take it serious.

he asked about cups, ladders, etc, which is more serious than random mixing

dexter 10 Jan 2011, 15:23
call me if you're going to have a 6on6 lan, with decent teams and so, before that, stop replying me :P
Parent

Enigma 10 Jan 2011, 15:26
you also one for 5on5 with as only argument: there are lan's?
Parent

dexter 10 Jan 2011, 15:29
No. I'm with 5on5 because I like it more. That fits my gamestyle better, and it has less spam, which I also prefer.
Parent

Enigma 10 Jan 2011, 15:30
what does that have to do with cups, ladders, etc you were talking about before?
Parent
▼
dexter 10 Jan 2011, 15:33
Nothing. I said that they shouldn't take more player to play 6on6, because 5on5 is more serious.
Parent

Enigma 10 Jan 2011, 15:37
so first you support 5on5 because of more liking it, now you don't want people to support 6on6 because 5on5 is more serious...oke?..
Parent

dexter 10 Jan 2011, 15:42
I support 5on5 because I like it more, and I just gave my opinion about 6on6. Said that advice that they shouldn't get 6th, because 5on5 is more serious.

Then stop bullshitting against 6v6 without reason, if you like 5v5 more great nobody blames you everybody has his own choice.

The fact is 5v5 is better for lans ofc, the other fact is that the only competition at this moment are better for 6v6, since all of our cups will host almost all the best teams in ET combined with prizes comparable to EC or better.

dexter 10 Jan 2011, 16:07
I am bullshitting against 6on6 because you're going to divide the community. If you stay hosting cups, its great with such prizes and stuff, but less more people will play, I mean, half of players will stuck at 5on5, and other half are going to play 6on6 again. I hope it won't...

vib 10 Jan 2011, 18:49

you 5on5 fanboys are extreme egoists
