Journals
So, I've never written a journal before & Crossfire has the facility so I thought "why not?"
For those of you who don't know me (that's probably alot), I'm a
Scottish gaming noob who goes by the name "Seanza." I am the man behind 
Explanation eSports. Some will tell you I'm liked, most will tell you I'm hated it. It's all fun n games :D
I think I'll start on a very controversial topic: ETQW
For those of you who read this (especially those who dislike ETQW), I wanna know "What's so crap about ETQW?" Is it because it's not free? Is it because your PC can't run it? Is it because you don't like vehicles? Or is it for some other reason? Maybe like your friends don't play it so you have nobody to play it with?
I play ETQW, & I know the learning curve is probably quite steep for alot of people. I personally think the problem with ETQW (competitively atleast) was that it was just "too little too late" in attracting players.
I know alot of you have played ETQW & left, but I don't know the individual reason. I'm curious if any of you have considered coming back? We all know
hannes- here, and I'm sure most of us are aware he's been working on ETQWPro which has come a long, long way since it's earlier versions. It's almost "complete" now imo, just a couple more tweaks and all should be well.
I'm gonna throw this out here and say: why don't some of you guys come back to ETQW? Just to try it, & try the latest version of ETQWPro, I'll post some links n stuff at the bottom so you know where to get things from, some useful servers & whatnot.
From a personal point of view, I'd like to see alot of teams coming back into ETQW, I never got the chance to play against the best (except only mamut these days). I do expect alot of flame for this post, but I'm hoping it can be more constructive criticism about the game than flaming me for posting this.
So I will wrap up for now, and below are some "useful" links.

ETQWPro
ETQWPro Server List

Feel free to add me ingame as "Seanza" if you decide to start playing again. I have a public ETQWPro server running with the current 4v4 & 6v6 Clanbase rulesets votable. Just type "connect 212.187.246.48:27733" into your console to join that server.

e: LOL? 1st in your 1st journal? OMG? me leet (1337)
I like the game.
You can also coun't in fantastic engine which requires several game restarts just to get in etqwpro mod and then on some custom map. If that would be as easy as for W:ET, then probably the game would have three times or more active competition scene. ;X
In any other ways I feel that after ETQWPRO 1.0 release (for which hannes now is working (is he?)) and that will also make somekind of stagnation in scene.
Anyways, I do better play ETQW with rather small but really friendly community, not W:ET with cheaters more than clean players. ;<
Also at very worst you should only restart twice if go onto custom map on ET:QW Pro server when you start game in vanilla and to be fair, a 2-5 second restart I can live with.
The restarts are there to prevent the kind of shit that happened in ET when you downloaded skin packs from one server and it knackered up your game on another server and so on.
They some good customs now also that worth trying out.
Anyway, any new CB ladder or any other cup where could be included finally some custom maps could refresh the old and the boring standard map grinding all the time! :)
Theres no whine, latest cheatbusting, crazy pictures or full on retardation!!!!!

How good your journal is depends on the amount of "old" you get from other users!

Is it because it's not free? Is it because your PC can't run it? Is it because you don't like vehicles? Or is it for some other reason? Maybe like your friends don't play it so you have nobody to play it with?
4v4 Ruleset is infantry so no vehicles, maybe worth a try (yey) and maps like Salvage & Volcano are awesome, no vehicles there.
Help: E**my T*r*itorry
ETQW sux0rz for you? But why?
But further, the reason that ETQW failed is that ETQWPRO came after the game was failed in the eyes of ET players.
