Enemy Territory - Quake Wars

ClanBase In A Spin

True to form ClanBase have made a complete cock up of this competition to date, with yet another complete u-turn in a matter of days. Contradicting their rule change on Sunday, ClanBase will now be using the original format of one stopwatch round with, and one without vehicles. Then Supervisor DuRus explains "We here at ClanBase feel they please both sides, the BF and the ET scene, and they will allow us to see which of the two types plays best."

This leaves clans with three days to resuscitate their no vehicle strategy, for the tournament start date of Wednesday.


For the first SW round we are going to have the following rules.

1.
* All vehicles are allowed except the Tormentor.
* However: only 1 cyclops allowed per team, and 1 Titan tank per team at any one point.

For the second SW round we are going to have the following rules.

2.
* No Cyclops/Desecrator/Titan/APC/Tormentor. Limit of 1 rocket launcher per team.

If needed, 3rd SW round will be played using 1st SW round rules.

The use of any of the prohibited items, on either of the SW rounds will result in an immediate forfeit of that SW round, giving 2 points to the other team.

Thankfully, this tournament is now in more capable hands - as United Kingdom DuRuS steps down making way Crossfire's very own United Kingdom Adacore to become Supervisor, and Netherlands Nuke his coverage supervisor.

And finally, the tournament layout has been released. There will be initial Qualifier Matches which will determine whether teams are placed in the Premier or Second League. Both leagues will consist of 3 groups of 4, and 5 groups of 3.

The groups will be published this Thursday, after completiion of the qualifiers.

Make it 5on5 while its still possible. ( better for lans etc.)
▼
Sainted 9 Jul 2007, 23:18
5on5 with SW2 rules would be great; "No Cyclops/Desecrator/Titan/APC/Tormentor. Limit of 1 rocket launcher per team", we already played a lot like this and it plays really well!

Matias 10 Jul 2007, 00:16
that's like et then, no idea at all. the main idea of that game is the vehicles. if you want to play without them, then play ET
Parent
▼
Sainted 10 Jul 2007, 00:46
The vehicles arent the main idea of the game, according to SD team members themselves.

6on6 is simply better! Just forget those lan issues.
Parent

atemi 10 Jul 2007, 10:39
In ET&RTCW maybe because everyone is used to it, but if you change the format to 5on5 before everyone is used to 6on6 in QW it shouldnt give any problems.
Parent

Noorgrin 10 Jul 2007, 13:31
bf2142 is played @ ESL EPS (which is i guess the best supported league in Europe)

And it is played "6on6" ... so why not keep it 6on6... we (ET-Community) want to show our unique style by playing 6on6 and not changing to the custom CS 5on5 format!
Parent

zacharius 10 Jul 2007, 14:02
6on6 is just better way to play etqw for lots of reasons.

pumu 10 Jul 2007, 18:46
panzerfaust is too weak to take out 6 men!
so u dont need 6on6

not really. knife does more dmg.

100+ extra health for every strogg, without packing > minor difference in damage.

SW2 is just retarted, werè def. gonna spam airstrikers and turrets 24/7 on objective 1 and lets see if those are still ''nice for ET players'' then :)

Baldrick 10 Jul 2007, 12:55
If you want to play SW2 Mode then go back to ET; the game has vehicles in it for a reason. There are some maps with fewer vehicles, some maps with more vehicles. Sewer is about average according to SD.
Limiting Tormentor and 1 Cyclops is enough.

Reatard 10 Jul 2007, 14:31
I heard that Durus stepped down because of his job as the main newswriter, but if it had anything to do with the pressure coming for the so called "ET-scene" screw that. He has done good job up to this point.

As i commented on the CB page, these rules still don't make sense.
▼
Shakes 10 Jul 2007, 20:22
Changing rule in a beta never make sense. Only changing something that really disrupts the balance makes sense but the game hasn't been played enough to determine that. So changing rules doesn't make sense.
Parent

it makes sense to limit things to avoid spam. Because compplay and public is two diffrent gametypes tbh, just because something workes pub dosn't mean it works out in cws.
Parent
▼
dohfOs 11 Jul 2007, 03:31
since when did cb make much sense?

however. in sw2-mode. is deployables, airstrikes, mines (etc) allowed? or is it "rifle and nades only" like pretty much it has become a standard to play when u play 4on4/5on5? :p
Parent
▼
Dreamweaver 10 Jul 2007, 20:40
everything is ok. only thing is: why 3rd round is played like 1st round? should be cointossed. coz if one team got good no-vehicle tax and the other team got good vehicle tax, they win their rounds. With current cb rules, the team with good vehicle tax will always win a match :/

Oh please.. without vehicles the game is as slow as CS (runnnnnnnnnning the whole map is soooooo uuuuber fun! \o/).

And fucking learn to use vehicles not just disable because you simply are too lame to practice driving for about an hour.. geez!
