Earlier today the Warsow team released Warsow 0.12.
It's main purpose is restoring mod support following the begining of public mods being made. The patch also features a couple of bugfixes regarding BE, HUD items issues, demo playback, the armor decay during a timeout,doors and many others!

The patch includes some slight gameplay tweaks that involve less ammo for the weapons, this is more of preliminary test as we started doing weapontweaks for 0.2 and we think these new ammocounts will be beneficial for the game ( less spam and more of a tactical need to control the ammo packs). Possibly the most signficant change however lies in the CTF change, the flag reset timer has been reduced from 10 seconds down to 8 to overcome those who learnt how to trickjump to bypass the need for teamwork!
There are a lot more things that have been done for your pleasure! See all the other changes in the changelog !

Nothing else matters today! The EuroCup groupstage is over and we are ready to present you the full grid of this seasons EuroCup event comming up next right in your monitor.







In german, fans shouting `Wir fahren nach Berlin`, which just means that their team has much success in the current cup and will continue to the final in germany`s biggest stadium. In the eurocup there are no fans shouting in a stadium, but our teams are as motivated as they should be to cry in the microphone, where they want to go. Its not like the wold cup, where teams are just happy to be in, its the most important event for the young history of CoD2 and some clans have their aim comming up to prove, that they are able to gain the aim.
Check out, who is in the best position to win the EuroCup XIII!

> Original posted at ClanBase, check out the news.

So at long last the group stages are over and we've got ourselves a few suprising qualifications and some last minute movement in the groups!

Group A

1st - Idle.ee
2nd - Maybe
3rd - V&E

Idle winning the group was of no surprise to anyone, the team that arent actually playing the game are still quite happy to dish out a spanking to you if you've been naughty! However Maybe taking 2nd place didnt look possible some weeks ago, it looked like a straight battle between o8 and v&e, however o8's folding left Maybe with a shot at qualification. That shot was duelly put straight onto evil's head as Maybe beat v&e to take 2nd place!

Read On for a review of the other 3 groups!

Today we saw the old Flame-Instinct move on to the UK based organisation of 4Given Gaming. After staying at Fi for a while, the team eventually got fed up with the lack of support from the Flame management and decided to look for another organisation that could cupport them. The team, who recently cut lars and Yersinia from their roster and added HaZ and vasquez, who had been a temporary part of Check-Six, will be representing 4Given Gaming with the following players:

Line-up:

beNN
junior
tomi
vasquez
HaZ
Ichi

Statement 4Given Gaming:

Quote

"Today 4Given would like to announce yet another addition to our already quality roster, with the pick-up of former Flame-instinct COD2 team, formally named Clearlyninjas. The team consists of some of the best talent the UK and the Netherlands have to offer, and we here at 4Given believe they have enourmous ability, both individually and as a team. Under the 4Given banner, the new team will be attending the Tek-9 COD2 LAN event in Antwerp, Belgium from the 28-30th of July , where the team hope to finish in the top3, and win some cash prizes.

As you all know, Oceans6 has had theire part of squadchanges. The latest squad lead by Fazz folded after not making it into the Clanbase EuroCup.
Before Fazz's team, Oceans6 was lead by pumu with his friends ern1e and butchji.

Qraigu, the leader of the Oceans6 management, recentely decided to take matters into his own hands. He decided to create a team on his own, and fight forthe good reputation his team had whilst competing the the ClanBase EuroCup a few seasons ago.

In his new team, he decided to take a few players he had played with alot before. This included players like vEg, inSi and t0MMy. While playing for the region of Saarland in the Deutsche Laender Meisterschaft, a tournament between the provinces in Germany, he got to know sYnop, who brought him Seya, naid and Limbonic. The last member, Snuble, who decided to quit after Norway didn't make the playoffs in last seasons NationsCup, is returning to the ET scene ( mostly as backup and cuddly mascot, due to inactivity

Lineup
Bastet Origin unknown, & team-Germany
inSi Gods.Inc
sYnop Retro4u
seya Highbot
naid Ultima-Ratio
limbonic Gods of Quake
Backup:
vEg Gods.Inc & Team-Swizz
t0mmy Gods.Inc & Team-Germany
Snuble Outraged/Oceans6 & Team-Norway

The new Oceans6 team will attend most upcoming ET cups, and will obviously try to reach the highest level possible!

On Saturday morning a friend of mine came to me with a hack he had found his clanmate using, his clanmate sent him the hack and the clan dealt with the cheater internally.
He then forwarded the cheat onto me hoping I could do something about getting this hack detected by PunkBuster and progress has since been made.

After making contact with a gentleman named Glenn at evenbalance, it crossed my mind...Why Stop there? So I sent another email to him offering Crossfire as a tool to be used for anonymous submissions of cheats that can then be forwarded onto PunkBuster and he gratefully accepted with this strict reminder:

Quote

PLEASE don't test out any hack to see if it is working, because silent detections are one of our most powerful and frequently used weapons. Any ban that may be received from this kind of "testing" will not be lifted.

This will not be used to ban an individual, only to aid Punkbuster in their research into detecting cheats and there is no garentuee that this will solve the problems currently plaguing ET, however its a start.

Please submit any cheat that you are aware of to [email protected]. Submissions can be completely anonymous, PB are uninterested about where they come from, just that they get them! It dosent matter if you send them from yours or your grandmothers email address, this is not about people but about the software.

Map test: SW El Kef

A radio transmitter has to be stolen - too simple for a competition map? El Kef looks quite nice and surely has some potential. swine is going to join me again for some map testing action while the Luger Frag server is there so that you can test the map yourself.

ET, MGCs and sponsors - where to go?

With more and more ET clans being sponsored and joining up big multi gaming clans, we have to ask ourselves if that is the way to go. What are the benefits, where are the drawbacks? Can ET get more attention through big clans or are we on the best way to ridicule the whole ET community? Sheep will join me among others to discuss this issue.

As usual, call-ins are taken via Skype, so if you want to contribute, be sure to have it set up properly.
