gl to everyone and finally passworded servers!.
no offence but lolicon isna't a 'big name' tbh.
edit: team one2 should be mentioned for the 'BIG NAME' signups.
all medics spaming nades to the tunnels and nothing come w/o RL and other heavy shit i don't use :P
but i hate vehicels even more :)
but if strogg orginaize the defense with all medics they just create spawnhost inside and spam nades everywhere...
we were able to hold many "big name" teams like that...
ofc you can come from top and side but strogg spawnhost+nade spam is really overpowered all together.
gl morb,chaoz,melkor,kru etc :D
(23:36:46) (@quadV|Baldr1ck) One2, cZar, Kompaniet, Cause, Dignitas, Exilium, Ninja, Lolicon, Warning

No reallife_skills @ all
(@newswriter - if u mention exilium you can mention gods.inc aswell :> )
laik morbiuz vs. 6
thats exactly what i wrote.
I really hope that we geth Sin,2easy,Quark,RuFio back in time to play this cup and i3d aswell with a proper lineup since they are all on vacantion
Infantry only with weapon limitations is fine, it will let us see that aspect of the game. The second set of rules should be played with everything allowed - all vehicles, all weapons.
This way we can compare 1 extreme to the other and see what the players think as well as seeing how the competitive pace of the game is under 2 completely different rule sets that effectively make it 2 completely different games.
it's too different communities and one will always whine at the other.
in the inf only there is also another problem, in cb rules you can use the "transport" vehicles only but there is mg on them ... and you can also just drive on someone and he will get killed instantly...
The best way to "test" is to play without vehicles at all, I've played some (many) 5on5's and 4on4's without vehicles and it was allot more fun than with them...
So why don't the ET and CoD players carry on playing ET and CoD then?
I was all for infantry only in quake wars until i looked at the bigger picture and realised that the whole game WILL be balanced around vehicles.
There are another eleven maps for the retail version and these rules are based solely off of one map.
The tank is highly overpowered he is too fast and too strong...
This is why no format or rule set should be set in stone. People should be prepared for change even months after the game has been released as it's no where near as linear as RTCW/ET.
Nothing to do with vehicles.
People need to give the vanilla settings a run in competition circumstances to really test them instead of pulling out what they personally don't like and shaking all the balancing as a result. It'd be nice to see people accept the game as it is rather than trying to turn it into a pseudo-sequel of their own favourite game :|
One2,Dignitas,Ninja,Cause,Warning all those 5 should be close.
we will make this the main community page for etqw
(i dont want to register somewhere else)
PS: warning will win, dr3am is the new mystic+butchji+mausji+ernie of etqw
1 Rocket Launcher/Team
No vehicles AT ALL
Mines Not allowed
best imo
- killed rtcw by releasing a shitty fucking dark config
- killed et by failing to ban cheaters fast enough
- ready to kill et:qw
- hopefully someone else will intervene in time for rtcw 2
All I remember is having to play with a config so dark that I couldn't even see the enemy, for every official.
<insert wh joke here>
Also I don't think you can put all the blame on one black sheep or blame on 1 single reason, that is just short-sighted. As since i can remember that RTCW was already bleeding because of games like BattleField, Call of Duty and Enemy Territory.
i loled irl when i saw this (rly :D)
Since its such a new game, tactics atm can easily be countered, due to this i would give the closed beta teams, which seem to be mainly from bf2 the edge.
