Hello "followers"
Its the first time I logged in again on crossfire within the last 12 months, instantly wondering about the new crossfire design. Looks like a standard page compared to the 3.0 version if you ask me!
Also noticed ET is back to 6v6 again :) "Like!"
What other bigger things I have missed apart from drunken englishmen on lans?
What competitions are running and will be run in the future? playing again might be an option to me =)
PS: Currently im trying to get ET working on my laptop.

these teams are all playing on sunday pretty much within the same two hours, wonder how you can make a comment like that. x_) this many good teams during summer is actually an achievement.

EDIT: bf, queens, fin6
queens dropped out because razz stabbed the team and wiaderko had to work nights for 3 weeks before the LAN, chry is a terrible leader and so butchji left because of the bullshit. fragstealer only really had ties to wiaderko and when he found out there was no chance of him coming back before LAN because of one of 3 employees in his department being fired he decided to leave the team too. xperia stayed, invited all new members (who already played in EC so couldn't play for Queens) so they dropped out.
fin6 dropped out because Matias had been playing the entire of 2012 on his friend's computer (matias PC = broken) whilst his friend was at university. when his friend came back home (june-time) Matias could no longer play ET from there and couldn't continue until Fall comes again. Jewe either already went to army or has left home or something = unable to play and that kinda fucked the team up as you'd be aware, Jewe and Matias were the most talkative/leading members of the team. they could have tried playing as a complete mix but twidi felt it was better just to drop and get it over with. (yes I spoke to him about this)
bF dropped out due to motivation but it's been the same story with them since sage in 2011, nothing new and in fact I just think they should've never signed up to EC in the first place.
so hopefully now I've fixed your view of 'dropouts etc no motivation for game etc.' if you think 2012 is the first time anyone's dropped out of a tournament I advise you travel back to some old tournaments where even teams like FF forfeited EC playoff games. :)
I agree with bF, they shouldn't have signed-up for EC.
Also the level of the game has dropped, like I mentioned before you could form a team of random players and go for EC and win:S Even my team got into EC and had a fair chance to go for play-offs.
I don't think that new players that are reaching the top are as skilled. I still think that if you form a new team of highskillers from 2008 or so and give them a little practice they will beat the 'new stars'. For example Anexis, whenever there is some tournament they just prac a while and they seem to win the tournament. Some teams might put some challenge but not a serious one. They just appear for a moment to win the tournament and go in active again.
so what would you say about masculine mans going from 2nd div OC 6v6 in 2008 fall to winning EC 3x in a row after that? facing teams like H2k, BBashers, mamut and Impact.
in fact, this next line has been proven wrong by teams like masculine back when everyone expected every 2k6 comeback team to dominate ET: "I don't think that new players that are reaching the top are as skilled. I still think that if you form a new team of highskillers from 2008"
I could write you a list of breakthrough players who were never at the top before 2010 who shit all over those old players and teams. :) obviously Anexis are the best but they are not unbeatable (as seen by Queens raping them in BFB WB final, Anexis had been praccing for weeks, the same practime as Queens had but they got assfucked that match).
they replied in the grand final by shitting all over queens _COMPLETELY_ but it shows that they're not unbeatable. even atoon went 2-2 in our only prac vs them, pretty much proved that they relied on their raw talent to win and it proved to not work. they needed to work hard to stay at the top this season (if they hadn't pracced so much for the LAN fin6 could have even beat them, because they won like every prac before the BFB grand final vs them).
as I said, do you think in 2005, of all the amazing players and teams, lettu nonix chmpp kmble mulsu and future were the 3rd best team? no. this just shows that EC doesn't specifically describe the state of ET. amazing players are still here, they just need people other than mind to lead the teams.
Yeah, with bit of prac they pretty easily win these 'new stars'. As long as they prac nobody wins them, at least for now. Maybe if some of these mix teams goes serious (like mpg) praccing every week with same line-up couple of times. Now it is just one team dominating EC with just high skilled players gathered. We could gather more of these teams but they just seem to fold (like we saw last EC).
oh come on it's like you didn't read anything I wrote. :P Anexis WERE praccing since the beginning of BFB2 or even a week before, the same as Queens yet they were still being beaten, I won't go harsh on you or anything for not knowing this stuff because you don't really know any of the players but if you truly want to know why Queens/WinFakt got raped in the final vs Anexis you should query Felix about it to be completely clear. he'll explain that since the first minute of the match one of the players was flaming every member of the team for the entirety of the grand final and caused there to be absolutely no teamplay nor teamwork, he then left the team that same night but without telling anyone, just pretending to be busy for that whole week (2 weeks before LAN).
and if you think this stuff only occurs in 2012, I can get Sheep to confirm to you that this same player caused the same problem to his team in 2007 2 weeks before CPC2.
But I still think ET is missing something, like dedicated teams who would go on to the top and challenge everyone.
Now looking on to the EVO cup I see many good teams there but I am really unsure how much they prac and I think they will part after the tournament.
It just feels so empty when teams are formed to compete in just one competition and then after they have finished it they will just fade away. And to be honest when looking at the teams in that cup Junglebrothers and colt45 were formed for that tournament, like I said, they gathered
'high' skilled players and I think that they will finish pretty high (top 3, at least JB) just by doing this, gathering high skilled players.
The teams like overload or bv might challange them but I don't think it is not enough.
From my point of view we need couple of dedicated teams who would stick together not changing players all the time and praccing to gain a high position in EuroCups and so on. Team who could challenge current dominators (Anexis and mPG + newly formed clans).
We had Masculine mans rising back in 2008 with hard praccing and so on, we need teams like that today, too. I personally don't like these 'one tournament' teams.
this is what happens when you let players like miNd run a top team =) all he does is try his hardest to pretend he doesn't take ET seriously. take x great players into team, don't prac, play with mix for offi, fuck yeah feel awesome about 'not caring'. :D
but what you said originally:
this is wrong ;P I was speaking to dialer for ~2 months about making a H2k comeback for fall 2012. he said everyone is ready except for butchji atm who doesn't seem to have time. they'll be here til the Fall too. I was speaking to Kamz about bringing colt45 back too since May or so when he said he would soon return from university. ;)
I honestly used to like them as a team but there's no way they can play together in ET anymore, it's like the winfakt/alnc guys, they became such good friends that they end up playing other games together for 90% of the time instead of playing ET.
I still play with people I did 8 years ago, I'm pretty sure if I just played ET with them I wouldn't even talk with them anymore.
+ you can't blame bf because they reached "top level of ET" and then wanted to play another game. Some people like to challenges themselves on other games too
remember when atoon were first praccing for bfb and how easy we could find pracs for those first 2 weeks or w/e? then we even played vs bF like 4 maps (beat them) and then they claim et is boring and there are no teams to play against. :D
teams like bF are not needed, go inactive for personal/motivational reasons and give other bullshit reasons for their quitting.
but yeah what I meant about friends playing all games together is that when e.g. alnc guys played together in et they focused more on other games than ET, but when separated they are much more active with other teams (wiaderko with queens, dialer with tmoe and baggiez/perfo with mpg etc). I do the same thing with guys in almighty when we're all there, we play games we all bought on Steam instead of an ET mix though I much prefer playing ET.
i miss you mate, how you doing?
how you doiN?!
enjoy your time!
I literally meant on paper, that you weren't some legendary team (or lineup). :P
Atleast for me it was the setting of my screen. So my advice is to check the maximum r_displayrefresh of the resolution you want to use. This should work fine with the optimal resolutions for your screen. If you are using a less obvious resolution, check the settings on your monitor. My screen adapts to the resolution if I put it to "Wide".
Never got the OpenGL error though, but it couldn't hurt to check! Good luck :)
EDIT: download most recent drivers aswell? :o
