6o6 or 5o5?

CB announces 5o5 leagues.
Crossfire announces 5o5 lans

Community wants 6o6 leagues
Community wants 6o6 lans.

Atm, things have to be solved. What is stronger? who wants what. This is killing ET.
We are talking about an almost dead game, wich is parted in 2 sides.
Decicions need to be made now, or it will die finally. Finding wars is just impossible when 50% searchs 5o5 and 50% searchs 6o6. And it was allready hard.

To be honest, i dont care about 5o5 or 6o6, i like both. as long as et is fun, i'll play it.

Need your opinion.

Create pool.

If 6v6 win, lets change to 6v6. About the Cic8, too bad... we can't make changes thinking about a 3 day offline event for 50 persons? We need to think about the majority, pretty easy decision.
*i want to believe*

It makes sense for me, i don't give a fuck about lans so.

*poll

and the polls on cf are bullshit, most of the people just randomly bash a choice
Parent
oops :D engrish

though they are kinda accurate.. we can always create a poll at cb :P
Parent
6o6 cause more ppl on vent ! :)
5 lans a year > 6on6 ofc
I don´t have a money for 5 lans moron..
1 perfect lan > 5 shit lans
More funny competitions > Shit online 5o5 boring games
Parent
too bad that will never happen even with 5on5
Parent
Community never wanted 5on5 in the first place. Maybe a bit late but it's good to see more people stepping up to try and reverse things.
Dacht ik ook aan voordat ik journal opende :PpP

6on6 online, 5on5 LANs
as if thats possible
Parent
Enough opinions have been shared already. The majority wants 6o6 because it brings back the fun in the game for alot of players. There have been 6o6 LANs in the past already, so its not impossible to make a new 6o6 lan right?
Plus, most gamers care about the online competitions most, so its not just about dem LANs.
84 LANs / year > 6on6 ofc :P havent participated a LAN event since 2005 but Im sure 5on5 surely is great LAN mod!!! nice job admins!!!
I doubt 6on6 stands a chance till next year due to already announced competitions. I also doubt that getting back to 2008 is a good thing for this community/game whilst we should try to find other ways to improve the game.
3v3 era will begin ;P
Parent
hehehe, it already started! Just look at razz nerding 24/7 @ 3on3 :D
Parent
only good players will catch my attention

+1 It's damn hard to get games after this ridiculous change.

The only reason people want 6on6s is nostalgia + the ability to take a random pf / field / covert while still having enough medics (140 hp if your team has 3 of them)..


I like the freedom of movement in 5on5, there are less people surprisingly backraping etc..
rofl :DDD

The gameplay is much more intense in 6on6, you have a whole new set of different tax to use. 5on5 is for newschool aim only faggots, im disappointed uteoz m8 :<

"The gameplay is much more intense in 6on6, you have a whole new set of different tax to use."

Tell me an argument why is actually 6on6 better tax wise? What kind of tactics are not possible in 5on5?
5on5 is just different, it doesn't limit anything.

"5on5 is for newschool aim only faggots, im disappointed uteoz m8 :<"
There, you just fell into your own trap.
That comment proves that you only like 6on6 because it's the way ET used to be played. "Oldskool". Sensationally thrilling Quakecon 2006 was played with a 5on5 setup, and I doubt even you were in this scene back then. That's how "OLD SCHOOL" 5on5 is. You just ignore the whole thing and follow the mainstream opinion instead of using your own sense. You don't have the guts to disagree with your KRP mates.
Parent
No 5o5 lans have been announced, where have you got your info from?
ET is 6on6, please face it already.

Here's the reason:
ET has 5 classes, in 6on6 you can use the variation perfectly, there is no class what becomes useless. You can spawnkill, you can rambo, you can do everything. The maps are meant to be played in 6on6, the positions and stuff. And you need skill to play it, not only aimwise, but you have to use ur brain. I used see a lot of 3on3 and 5on5 fags with aim only and thats how they became "good" players in 5on5. Bullshit, they all would be useless in 6on6. :)
RAGE NOOBS RAGE
No rage, it´s true

Krosan alongside Tosspot brought the game to where it is now: ruins
6o6.
every1 who played 6o6 in a league or a ladder knows, its more fun, more tactic and skill is required to roll...legends like winghaven became famous at this gametype.so just switch it back. it has never been the opinion of the community to change it (huge rumors after lan announcement)....it has been switched because of the lans. and tbh most ppl in this scene will never attend a lan. so where is the problem. 6o6 only and 5o5 for lan nerds/pros...
"skill is required to roll"

Have you ever played 5on5?!?!
6on6 was always about spam, even you said that when you mentioned Winghaven
Parent
you need skills to be a good spammer

its in the game deal with it, its meant to be used
Parent
i guess you've never played more than 1 6o6 season.its simply harder to take out a defense of 6 man than a def of five. winghaven was a highskill example.99% of the community aren't even close to his skill and won't be able to take out 4 guys with a panzer or as a fop like he did.
and even in 5o5 some teams are playing with a fop at grush tank def( which doesn't makes a sense for me but nvm) . so thats elimintes your spam argument because there is still enough spam in 5o5 aswell(oh yes let me tell you i've played several 5o5 seasons). just face the fact, that 6o6 was way more fun back in the days. and the only reason for playing a almost dead free online game should be fun and not making a killing as a lan organiser or cuphoster...
Parent
I think he has played more than 1 season and I know why he doesn't want to play 6v6 format anymore. 6v6 is like playing on public server, it's very chaotic and requires less individual skills. It is more about crazy rush, or hudge, lucky spam in defence. In 5v5 every player counts.
Parent
Well seems like both of you don't like 6o6.fine its ur personal opinion(even if your arguments are wrong imo). but i still disagree with this 5o5 shit...and as it seems, the community wants back the orginal et which was played in 6o6 :)
Parent
Which of my arguments is wrong? Compared to 6v6 where 6th player could die, or run around somewhere on the map, in 5v5 you need every player. If your 5th will die on full in 5v5 it is hudge loss, if your 6th will die on full in 6v6 you will not even notice it. Additionally in 5v5 every player has to be more mobile, take care of more places to hold or attack.
Parent
well, actually it was way harder to take out 3 guys in a 6o6 than it is in a 5o5 now.
you had to cover the engineers or the coverts more, cuz there were more players arround.
nowadays its pretty easy to break a defense cuz there are only 5 players left (atleast if it is your skill level, we all know a low team wouldn't break a high teams defense). many ppl dont even use the spam classes like fop or and 2nd eng at during the def anymore, like it has been usal at grush tank def (so it was harder to get into main).

btw u dont have to play 6o6 if u dislike it. but there should be ladder and some cups/leagues for ppl who wants to (seems like it is the biggest part of this community). but hey, there will never be a solution which every1 agrees...
Parent
in my opinion...







Testi mad :PPPP
I wont play 5on5 anymore i can tell you that. I couldnt give a flying fuck about some nerdfest 5on5 gayparty.

fuck you all, good night.
Dont say that ET is dying , there is a lot of ppl searching wars.... sometimes it may take a moment to find war but atleast there is ppl searching...
there is a few a lot of ppl searching wars... sometimes mostly it may take a moment to find war but atleast there is ppl searching...
Parent
just the truth :)
Parent
i never wait more than 5 mins :))
Parent
well, med/med+ are easier to find than high wars

(no offense!)
Parent
Habs nicht als offense gesehen :P

hast du natürlich recht^^
Parent
last year at that time when speedlink was active we were always playing the same few teams on and on and still we had sometimes to wait more than 30 mins. Was damn boring. I hope with 6on6 there will be more oldschoolers returning. That would be a reason for me to do a comeback :-)
Parent
Would be nice :))
Parent
6on6 !!!!!!!

5on5 for offline tournaments would be ok
6v6.

dont think they will make lans 5v5, and online 6v6.

would be bullshit to kick someone out of your team just for a lan :P
6on6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
