Birmingham, dirty northern area. >:E
but gl anyone who goes for it.
does this point in the direction of COD4 becoming a official tournament game for the cgs?
[sarcasm] of course not, the fact that its organized by the CGS just means CGS admins are bored! [/sarcasm]
Parent
not sure I like that idea tbh :X
Parent
the sarcasm wasn't really necessary
Parent
the official game for cgs is most likely to be q3 (for 1v1 at least) according to mr wheat

Well CGS won't be adding any games without replacing an existing one (this year), and they don't have any duel based FPS to replace. I also doubt they will drop CSS in favor of coD4 but who knows...
Parent
cu there without doubt.
