Enemy Territory in Red,Green and Blue

image: 46063-rgb3
Forget United States of America Allies vs Germany Axis, what you really want is Albania Red vs Libya Green vs Botswana Blue.

With only one other well known 3D modelled Enemy Territory movie(Christmas ET Jingle by Santa) released, this movie is a refreshing change from the usual frag movie or trickjump movie.

With custom skins and all your favourite maps turned into 3D models that are mixed with funny scenes and a great soundtrack, this is definitely not a movie you want a miss.

Weighing in at a mere 149MB and lasting 4 minutes 40, it is neither too large or too long for you impatient folk and is encoded with xvid 1.1, so even the poor old PC users who struggle with x264 will be able to watch.

Gotfrag Interviews Trigger Post EuroCup

image: gotfrag_smallIt has been a hard week for Michael Sowa, aka Trigger, as he has gone from hero to zero in the space of one weekend. Previously voted the number one CoD2 player in Europe by his peers last sunday he left the EuroCup Lan Finals in shame. Despite being the hot favourites, Speedlink crashed out against Check Six and Tek-9 and Trigger was a shadow of his former self. Various rumours have been spreading about the team's future after such a shocking blow so Gotfrag's Liam Crowley decided to speak to the man himself to get to the bottom of it.

In this in-depth interview Trigger explains in detail how it felt to fall so utterly short of their expectations in Denmark and what was running through their heads as they left without a win. Read on for a small extract...

You mention nerves, but you guys have played well at numerous big events before. Was it the pressure on the team to perform after losing to Dignitas in the Crossfire PrizeFight Challenge?

It was just for me about nerves. I think the other guys were calmer then me, but still Nightwalker and Fuchs couldn't perform well. I have asked myself these past days why I couldn't control my nerves. I played several big events and never had this problem, now they are here and I don't know why, or how to get rid of them. I think and hope it was only a bad day for me and thats why i couldn't control it. If it's coming up again, I have to see what I can do against it. But let's hope its not coming again. Without beeing arrogant, I lead my team sometimes to the victory. Now i ermined with -10 stats. If this becomes the "normal" it's all the time a 4 on 5 and that can't be the way.

CoD2 at Netgamez 2006 Autumn Edition

It's hard to believe it was only earlier this year that we saw Speedlink and Check Six, at the time known as TmG, battle it out in the Grand Final of one of the first major Call of Duty 2 lans. But that was Netgamez 2006A and now the B version lies only around the corner. Featuring a fairly impressive €1,000 for the winners this event will be no slouch and you can expect a number of big name central European teams to be showing their faces there.

This is a BYOC event which makes it harder for teams from further afield to attend but the 2006A event had over 40 CoD2 teams in attendence so with an even bigger prize pot this time around you can expect more of the same. With space for over 1,500 gamers in the BYOC area and an impressive stage for the finals there is a lot of space but book your tickets fast to avoid disappointment as the Dutch gaming community will jump fast at the chance to rub shoulders with the likes of Grubby and Forever who will both be in attendence for their respective games.

Name: Netgamez 2006B
Date: 13-15th October 2006
Location: Nieuwegein, Holland

CoD2 Prizes:

- 1st Place €1,000
- 2nd Place €300
- 3rd Place €150
- 4th Place €100
- 5th Place €100
- 6th Place €100

On the third day...

image: ips With hot matches coming up tonight, it's gona be the last match for some of the teams. Everyone will try their best to present themself for the final stage or for other future cups.

Poland Fear Factory X-Fi vs. infrag Czech Republic
After 2 lost matches the last Czech team infrag is on the way home. With a win tonight, they can mix up group C again. But is their power enough to beat one of the best Polish teams at the moment? With Fear Factory on the second place of the group it's not going to be a very tight match.
If infrag is able to turn the odds around, the group will be the hottest overall and it will be all on cZar next Monday.

Croatia elite vs sFx.LAN Europe

While elite lost the matches against idle and HighBot, they need a win to get the last and very small chance to be in the final stage of the IPS. With sFx.LAN, we have one favorite and another top team on the way to qualify for the last stage.
At 21 CET we gonna check out if reactor is the best map to beat sFx and if the teamplay on goldrush is already good enough to compete on the top level of ET.

All eyes on the TmGL

image: StMereEglise
Tonight, Call of Duty's rollercoaster passes The TmGL as two of the continents hottest properties do battle. Fresh from their exploits in Denmark at the Eurocup LAN finals, Dignitas will be looking to go on to beat more german opposition in doubleSLASH.

If you were to pick one name out from the TmGL it would most certainly be Dignitas. Favourites for the title, and with form on their side all looked good for Mick and his merry men. But thus far it has not been so, with a draw and a loss to their name, to Webone and dM respectively one could be forgiven for calling this a MUST win match for the brits. However, if there is one map you dont want to face Dignitas on, its most certainly Dawnville, doubleSLASH will have their work cut out for them as soon as they connect to the server.

Crossfire to continue competitive support

image: xfghtlgo-wide




With the recent and concurrent heated debate over decisions made by CB to move to 5v5, many leagues and competitions have been quick to declare their stance, perhaps feeling a personal duty to side with those who called differently from ClanBase. Throughout this period, Crossfire have maintained their transparency on the issue, with no immediate upcoming plans for competitions allowing them to take a step back and analyse how successful either format remains following the transitory annoucement by United Kingdom Adacore.

When the crevasse showgame was arranged, the decision to play the game in 5v5 was made for several reasons including a desire to aim the map at the most prestigious mappool, that being of course the EuroCup. During the game, we also tested several aspects of a new config which had been in development previously. The tests were wholly successful and it is with pleasure that Crossfire are able to annouce the release of their certified online and offline (lan) configs. Crossfire continues to stay atop the fence regarding the issue of 5v5 / 6v6. The official quotable stance:

With no current active tournaments, and no timeframe defined for our next tournament, we will refrain from making a commitment at this early stage.

Included in the config pack comes both 5v5 and 6v6 versions of configs, all certified: 5v5 online, 5v5 LAN, 6v6 online, 6v6 LAN. The LAN configs are designed for a CPC type event, however a seperate 5v5/6v6 LAN config is also available for organisers of other LANs to fully utilise. You can find that pack HERE.

The Crossfight configs, to be used in all Crossfire based competitions, include the following changes:

[*] cl_maxpackets IN 60-100
[*] b_helmetprotection 0
[*] b_simpleitems 1 / 0 (derestricted)
[*] 5v5 Mines = 3 / 6v6 Mines = 4
[*] Knockback 800 (def 1000)
[*] Panzer allowed
[*] MG + Mortar disabled

LAN configs are exactly the same as online configs, except for rate being forced to 25000 and maxpackets forced to 100.

Major Changes in Tek-9.Steelpad

After a profitable weekend at the EuroCup Lan Finals in Denmark, Tek-9 have returned home to announce their new roster for the upcoming winter events. Despite exceeding expectations and taking down Speedlink to earn 3rd place in EuroCup XIII, roster changes were inevitable as Frijec was already tied to aeon.eSports and was only ever going to be a temporary stand-in for Tek-9. Although he did turn out to be a strong performer for them in Denmark, it is likely that his replacement will be only to happy to fill his shoes.

It will be none other than the former Check Six star, Knaller, who will be taking over his spot. After a brief spell in H2k, it's likely that the lure of rejoining former team mates Sko, Ozwald and moMa was too strong to resist. The move also sees Greeny take a step back into inactivity for the moment and in his place returns none other than Sko. He has declared himself fully active and along with Knaller will hopefully provide the raw talent Tek-9 need to elevate their game to the next level.

This leaves them with a very promising lineup which is as follows...

Belgium Davy
Belgium Mitox
Netherlands Sko
Netherlands Knaller
Sweden moMa
France Ozwald
