what if im cless?
6on6 for shizzle
still playing 6v6 out of habit really
only 6on6
no 4on4? or 8on8 baserace?
Playing 6on6, if Russia officer is busy and can't make it, playing 5on5.
5on5!!!!111 xD
6v6 all the way

Edit: There should be more votes for 6v6 because most(*all :p) clans that are commited to 5v5 have an acc on xfire(More familiar with the scene) and want to play Lans/EC, the so called "skilled clans". And the "fun" clans obviously dont give a shit about Lans/EC + 90% of them do not have an acc on xfire and would obviously vote for 6v6 because 5v5 rubbish. Same goes for the last polls about this, 6v6 would have a lot more votes if you asked _everyone_ who plays ET in a clan. My guess is that the results would look like 10% 75% 15% , fo with this retarded 5v5 decision :/

[Enter random flame here] (Even though you know im right)
6v6, we were too late to sign up for ESL but we did sign up for Warleagues and are planning to sign ip for that uQ cup.
5on5 ftendsieg
6v6 plz !
we are 6o6 clan and we are not going to change to 5o5

>:(
That's not fair! Each 6v6 team has 6 votes while 5v5 team has only 5 ;-(
we should not play cb and then they will have to go back to 6v6.
why fix somthing thats not broken? ET and 6v6s arnt broken.
5v5 still sucks
5on5 suxx
6v6 all the way
all the noobs are voting 6o6

Where was the time clans like idle and u96d were the ones who suggested what was good for ET. If ET were a democracy we would still be playing lvl4 fullholds on oasis.
what did you vote and why? one of the reasons 5on5 was introduced was beacuse more lans and teams and more smg action. while most of the ET community wont go to a lan, and smg action? your taking away what the games about and basing it more on aim, leave it 6v6 it was fine, and most enjoy it.
Parent
Because 5o5 is faster.
Parent
go to hell. why would maps need to be more faster? why should we make it more smg based? we are just making it more boring.
Parent
Next it will be LMS and playing et_dust.
Parent
you can set fast times in 6v6 lol.
Parent
Do you even play ET?
Parent
yes, he did a journal of him playing on a public.

Parent
I still watch lots of ETTV and 5o5 > 6o6. (I even played a few games and it immediatle became clear you needed decent tax instead of giving positions to ppl)
Parent
Ya, average round in ET takes 5 minutes +-. One map takes 10 mins, two maps 20 >> is that slow? There were times when average round took 15+ minutes (old grush, oasis) and to be fucking honest, the faster you can do the map, the more lotto the map is (generally - that means that lesser skilled team can win, which shouldn't happen). These days, the only non lotto maps are grush/radar/delivery/supply, braundorf is ok, but the rest are maps that can be won due to 1 lucky kill or one lucky spawn.

Ye, 2 years ago, it was rly boring to defend the bank on grush for 20+ minutes and now, there are stupid maps that take 3-4 minutes to win... can you enjoy the game in only 3 minutes? Can you show your skill in 3 minutes? And you want to shorten these times to 2 minutes ... lol :X

I don't mind playing 5v5 (i don't mind the idea of 5 players), but I do mind the way it is being played - still 5 mines, still tons of spam etc... If 5v5 was really only about smg, I would go and play it... but now it's not different from 6v6 considering the gameplay and advantages for smg players... therefore it sucks and I won't play it because it gives me nothing more than 6v6 does (and yes, it takes one player out of the fun:D
Parent
there is no such thing as a lucky spawn, you spawn when it is time.
Parent
n1, calling 6on6-voters noobs because 5on5 is faster...
more retarded explanations for 5on5 pls
Parent
#vpclan is playing 6on6
6on6 of course, like all sane clans
78% 6on6
56% 5on5

hmmm, 55% are not playing at lans, so who voted for 5on5 zomg looks like somebody rly likes this format :/
6on6 ofc!
6 on 6 ofc, but who is voting for 5 on 5 :S
It's not really "voting", to be honest.
Parent
8v8 baserace. Latvia
Sure, pronedelay and removal of the skill system was accepted only after they had been used for a while - but neither of them got even nearly as much objection as this 5on5 thingy. It's damn clear that people prefer 6on6. We already have 3on3 for those who want to aim for the head without really needing much tactics.

7on7 with all weapons (mortar, 4 soldiers) enabled ftw
6on6!

and ok if "big eSports centers and sponzors" dont support 6on6 ET - fuck them, imo ET is strong enough, we dont need to beg for support or i am wrong?

1) ET is 6on6
2) if I or anyone want play 5on5 why not? Make cups 5on5 etc BUT pls no fucking restrictions and forcing clans...

5on5 NC IS BIG BIG BIG FAULT! :/
How can you ever force someone to play 5on5?

Even if ESL, WL and CB went 5on5 you're still 100% free to only play your 6on6.
Parent
Ofcourse you r right! But do you really think that "big ones" dont want to move ET from 6on6 to 5on5? What about EC NC? If our country want to play NC we must play 5on5 and thats forcing imo...
Parent
6on6!

this was the worst change so far, not because of gameplay but because community is split apart now.
1o1 mortar or pf olny
Make et 6on6 pls i'll come back and play active then :) (i know noone cares :P)
6on6 back plz :(
We played 2 weeks 5on5, and we are like... oh noes. Its a smg action game, i mean, make a double kill and you passed that part of the map if you get some luck with spawns
let me use this opportunity to say it again:
burn in hell all those fuckers who forced us to play this sucking 5on5 format and splitted community in a half for nothing
sad to see people cant admit their mistakes
another useless poll and all the admins will think: this is the opinion of the community...

the poll does NOT include if the teams are forced to play 5on5 or if they want to play 5on5

i voted for "commited to 6on6" though CB will force us to train 5on5 too for OC. The situation is so rediculous, sry...
i am serious! 2 weeks and u will read the first comment like "55% of the clans prefer playin 5on5". to proove it the´ll post ur poll
Parent
Do you need glasses? It says 20% right now.
Its not a question of preferring to play a certain way, its a question of playing one or the other to prepare for the competitions that team has focused on playing in.
Parent
i have glasses ;P
dont tell that to me, tell that the 5on5-favouring people. they will count the "both-players" additional to the "5on5-players" - thats what already happened in the past
Parent
Should probably keep out of it as I don't play ET anymore but heh!

1) To EVERYONE using the XP argument in relation to 5-v-5, STOP! NOW!

It was right to limit / eliminate XP, but being right about that doesn't make anyone right about anything else, it only makes them right about XP. The fact a sizeable section of the ET community were initially against removing XP doesn't mean the majority are wrong in this case, each fundamental change to ET should be decided on it's own merits.

2) Someone above noted that a large number of Clans who either don't post here or don't care about LANs etc. would probably favour 6-v-6. I'd agree with that, this poll can only ever be biased by the nature of the people who visit this site. Taken as a whole I suspect 6-v-6 is the favoured format for the VAST majority of ET players.

3) 5-v-5, 6-v-6 (7-v-7, 8-v-8, 4-v-4) these are all arbitrary limits, the game was _designed_ for 16-v-16 with full XP. 6-v-6 works with a config designed for it with 3 years worth of tweaking, 5-v-5 could be made to work as well as 6-v-6 without question, so NEITHER is BETTER than the other in that sense, they're exactly equivalent (as are 4-v-4 and 7-v-7 etc.)

4) To anyone feeling even the slightest sense of guilt that favouring 6-v-6 is somehow splitting the community, DON'T. 6-v-6 is the accepted de-facto format. The people proposing 5-v-5 are the ones splitting the community, not you.

5) I proposed 5-v-5 myself, over a year ago, and made many of the same arguments for it that have been used since, and if I was still playing ET I'd be very strongly in favour of moving to 5-v-5. However, I'm even more strongly in favour of playing the format the MAJORITY of ET players want, which in my opinion is undoubtedly 6-v-6.

Have a nice day :)
