I really liked CDC4, but I'm an asshole so I'll write down some stuff that would have made the lan more fun :P
+ name tags for ET players, some ppl came to CDC and i didnt even know they were there :'(
+ spectating @ the console corner > spectating @ the sportsbar.
+ keep ET and CoD seperated if possible. Both communities have little in common and come to CDC for different reasons.
+ disallow all tweaking that cannot be done by drivers
+ shoutcast close games rather than topclans (in Cod it makes sens to cover the big names, in ET it really doesnt)
+ gtfo with the music :'( Check the 6th avi if you want to know what I mean: http://r-buys.magix.net/
+ allow more ET clans to come. There were ETQW and CoD clans who didnt turn up, all ET clans showed up. I'm sure ET can send at least 20, possibly 24 clans to the next edition of the Crossfire LAN. Look at the polish community, they have so many clans just because they have LANs. LANs will keep ET alive, them more clans can come to CDC, the longer ET will live.
Post your ideas here!

i dont understand why you have made a journal about this - when there are so many other journals about how many people enjoyed it - doesn't add up does it?
that music is fucking ace imo :D
oja + do the cerymony when everybody is there, cuz anouncing awards + but the right person isnt there sux imo :<
+ hang out an schedule and dont let adacore do all the work (teamcaptain has to report the game results not adacore running for them)
Imagine a similar situation in a football game, during the second overtime in a 0-0 situation: the shoutcaster having random 5 minute breaks and telling people to forget game, because the penalty shoots starting soon.
I can understand the frustration of not much happening, and the event taking it's toll on Tosspot etc., but still... Hmh.
Name tags would have been nice.
totally agree
That would really suck for people that do not use some new awesome blinking and glowing mice :(
But did it actually delay the tournament again? Did not really notice anyone having problems with those tweaks, rather with the pretty crappy computers and people installing some random messengers or other shit on it.
WORD mate !
Seperated events wont happen though, they are an incredible workload regardless of whether there is 1 game or 2 or 3. CDC3 for example was almost as stressful as CDC4 even though I can see the benefits from a spectator point of view.
However, the next event is very different. These events have run their course.
Seperate events isn't what i ment. More like both communities visit CDC for different reasons and therefore expect different things.
I think the nametags would be awesome for a community like ET. CoD teams are all sponsored and have shirts, but there werent much CoD spectators execpt for the teams. ET people go to CDC to meet people, CoD ppl for serious business. They expect different things :P
Tbh, I would love to be of a more constructive use, prolly much like FDJ, instead of whining :P
i've a column coming soon that outlines alot of stuff for the future.
If you mean on this to organise a lan for ET and a different lan for CoD then I can't agree. Crossfire LAN should grow, more and more main games should be used year by year. That would mean popularity for ET too, like news on the main eSports sites like now on SK, fnatic, gotfrag, esreality etc. Also try to imagine this after adding for example WC3, Fifa or CS to the gamelist. In my opinion TosspoT and the CDC crew has all contacts to make this possible, only sponsors and time is the question. At least if I were them I would do this!
