Possible Tournament Idea?

[PainKiller]

I was speaking to Window a few days ago about a possible CoD2 tournament that I reckon will be quite fun and bring some more people to the servers.

As there are still some active clans on CoD2, I was thinking that we should have some sort of Clan Tournament. Each of these clans get some teams and see who is the best clan on CoD2. However, because each clan has their own server and they are used to how it plays, I was thinking each clan could host games on their servers as well.

 

The clans that  I have knowledge that are active on CoD2 still are:

>XI<

IAF (International Army of Friends)

Outlaw

Christian Snipers

 

This will take ages to plan and before going any further with it, Window suggested that I post here to see how much support I can get. I just think it will be a nice change of pace on the servers and be nice to face different people as well.

 

The only thing that is bugging me here is that how will we set out the matches so each clan plays each other and on the other servers. I thought of that each clan takes a turn to host on their servers and faces the other clans on there like this:

 

>XI< CoD2 TDM/CTF Server:

>XI< vs IAF

>XI< vs Outlaw

>XI< vs CS

 

There will be best 2 out of 3 on TDM and CTF so that is 4 games minimum per match and we can use the current set up of the Tournament Server for this perhaps?

Then once we have held our matches, we switch to the next clan and we play on their servers? Its just very annoying to try and figure something out here and I keep getting confused!

I love the idea, but after the last tournament fell apart from lack of interest I don't know that we could get enough players to commit to time slots and actually play the games.

 

I play the IAF server when there isn't anybody on our servers, and I can tell you from first hand experience that some of those guys are really good, I mean scary good. I can usually rank in the top 5 on most maps but a few of their players make Viprz look like an amateur, and he wins about every map he plays on our servers. They also don't play any straight DM maps. It's all teams (with TDM, HQ, CTF) and the weapons mod they use is slightly different than ours. Less ammo and you usually have to sight in an opponent to kill them regardless of the weapon. Some maps also don't allow camping, and you will self destruct if you sit in one spot too long.  I still like playing there though. It's nice playing on a full server which their server is a lot of the time. Something we should consider looking into in an effort to increase traffic on our servers. They're doing something right. The biggest drawback to IAF is they don't talk on mic at all, and they don't allow any foul language (typed or spoken), which just fucking pisses me off to no mother fucking end. :-)

 

I've tried to play Christian Snipers, but there is no running at all and the slow pace of the game (with horrible weapons) just drives me crazy.

 

I've never played Outlaw servers before but since I see a lot of them playing on IAF and our servers, they probably don't have anything special.

Yea, it's a shame that the last one fell apart. I just think that next time we have a tournament, teams should be made up of players that live in similar timezones; a team or two made of European players and then teams of American and Canadian players.

 

I have been on the IAF Servers several times and always had some good fun on there but it is hard to get onto the leaderboard but then again, they are more used to their mods than we are and if they came to our severs, their best players will make me look like a pro lol We just need to think of ways of getting some more traffic on our servers. I love the mod a lot but weekends is the only time we get any traffic and yes, the no talking on mic and no foul language annoys me. We are all adults on there but I can understand it, some people get annoyed with it.

 

The CS server is fun at times but can be a bit slow paced and it does get annoying but then again, those people there are good players and play that mod more than others. I have always wanted to have a sniper server on here with our current mod, just have snipers only. I like the speed of the mod on the XI servers.

 

Outlaw servers aren't much different than the IAF one if I remember. It is a lot of fun in there. I have ran into a few people I know on there
