TWL To Support Bad Company 2

Posted June 8 2008 By: Yourcatch22 | Bad Company 2 | Post a comment

The TeamWarfare League has announced that it will be offering leagues and ladders for Bad Company 2 in the coming weeks. There will be a variety of events for you and your team to participate in, so be sure to check back soon for more details.

"TWL Competition: Battlefield Bad Company 2

TeamWarfare.com has a long history of support the Battlefield competitive community and Bad Company 2 will be no exception. This announcement is to let you all know that we plan on supporting this game fully and to inform you of what exactly we have planned for soon after release, and for near future competition.

Soon after release:

Conquest Tournament:
This will be standard Battlefield conquest format. The signups for the tournament will be opening on March 2, with the tournament kicking off within the first 2 weeks (Exact Date TBD). The number of slots for this tournament has yet to be decided, but it will likely be 64 teams. The team sizes will also be determined once the game has come out, as we are unaware if the standard 8v8 will suffice. We are looking at scheduling 2 matches per week so this first tourney doesn’t take too long to wrap up before the first season of league kicks off.

Conquest Ladder
This will be the standard BF Series Conquest Ladder. Rules, and such will be available shortly after release with the ladder opening within the first week. If you are unaware of the format, please refer to the BF2 Ladder Conquest ruleset, as it will give you a good idea of how it will run.

Conquest League
Again, rules will be similar to the BF2 Conquest ruleset. This is likely to be a six-week season. Followed by 3 week playoff series.

As for timing and dates we plan on opening league sign ups day of release for the conquest ladder. The exact rules, maps and match are to be decided on soon. We also plan on having league signups up as soon as the tournament is up and running. The league could start as early as 2-3 weeks after release depending on the activity and interest of the community.

RUSH Ladder
Being an entirely new format to the BF Series, we are going to delay this ladder for a little bit so we can fully understand how competition will work. We do plan on having competition in this format, and the admin staff will be working to have rules and structure in place as soon as possible.

Also being considered in the near future:

Rush League
Squad Rush Ladder & League
Squad Death match Ladders (If we can make the site backend support it)

Again, these are tentative plans based on what we know of the game so far. However our goal is to get you guys competing as soon as possible.

Since this is being put together for you, the players, naturally we are interested in hearing what you people would like to see from TWL. Please be specific and on topic.

We look forward to an exciting and competitive experience with you all!"

Valve Reveals New Demo Format

Posted June 8 2008 By: nothing | Team Fortress 2 | Post a comment

Any competitive gamer who plays Valve games understands the difficulties which can arise when trying to record a game play demo. However, Valve's Robin Walker has announced that the Team Fortress 2 development team is taking on the problem and is currently working on all new demo format to make recording much easier.

No word yet on when the format will be released, but keep an eye on the Official Team Fortress 2 blog for more information.

"Valve developer Robin Walker stated, “The idea is that after you die or finish a round, and it was a round you were particularly happy with (maybe you scored an awesome kill, or saved the entire team with an ubercharge), you can ask the server to send you a demo of it. The server then sends you a demo that it recorded, which has the complete game state instead of just what your client saw, and it’s in a format that’s robust and won’t break as easily when we update the game. In addition, the format has a some side benefits, like supporting full backwards & forwards time scrubbing.” The best part is, “It’s getting close to being releasable in a beta form."

Germany Bans Counter-Strike Lans

Posted June 8 2008 By: nothing | Counter-Strike | Post a comment

A new ban on "Killer Games" in various towns in Germany has begun forcing many lan centers to cancel tournaments and events featuring violent video games, specifically Counter-Strike. The ban was enacted in an attempt to curb increased school violence in Germany, and enforcement of the ban falls to the discretion of individual local governments.

The new law has already led to the cancellation of several ESL Friday Night games, and more recently a Convention-X-Treme tournament. While the ban remains at a local government, many have begun speculating that a nation-wide ban could be in the works and passed by the federal government in the coming months. A similar law was enacted in Brazil last year, which led to the closing of several defiant lan centers. For more information on this story, checkout GotFrag's complete story.

Gamers React Negatively To 1.6 Patch

Posted June 8 2008 By: nothing | Counter-Strike | Comments [ 1 ]

Over the past week, many gamers have publicly spoken out against the recent Counter-Strike 1.6 update and the effects it has had on the competitive gaming world. The patch, which aimed to fix silent crouch hopping (aka Russian Walking Exploit in the release), has resulted in giving a jumping sound to any in-game jump movement. While this may seem like a minor change, in the world of competitive gaming, the effects have forced many players to drastically alter their game play. Even despite that many players had considered silent crouch hopping a bug that needed to be fixed, the unintended results of the patch have led many to demand a rollback patch from Valve to remedy the situation.

GotFrag recently took the opportunity to sit down with several professional players and managers to get their reactions to the update. Here's a snippet below from Alex Garfield, Team EG Owner/Manager, and for more player reactions, checkout the Complete Article Here.

"Alex Garfield
Owner/Manager Team EG


"I think that any potential positives that have come via fixing the exploit (if you're even of the opinion that it needed to be fixed in the first place) have been easily outweighed by the bugginess that came along with the "fix." We now have movement sounds being made and heard in situations that are completely absurd from a competitive standpoint."

CEVO Tournament Interview

Posted June 8 2008 By: nothing | General Esports | Post a comment

After a very disappointing CEVO Alienware tournament, including allegations of poor tournament management and unpaid prize money, GotFrag sat down with Moe Assad, a gamer at the tournament, to discuss what went wrong. While no official word has come from CEVO or Igames, the interview gives some interesting insight into what happened at the event. You can checkout a snippet below, or checkout the Full Interview Here.

"Its public information that you feel quite a bit went wrong with the CEVO Alienware tournament, could you please explain specifically what happened?

I'm going to be plain and honest about CEVO and Alienware. I believe that iGames (the people who ran the tournament) and mainly Ferguson - the only admin for the whole tournament - just had no idea what they were doing. That's right, over 15k in prize money with only one admin. There are so many details I can go into about how flawed the rules were, mainly because the rules were all meant for 1.6 and as anyone knows 1.6 and source are in many ways different.

What i don't understand is how Alienware would put this much money up for grabs in an online tournament, maybe they thought that CEVO, being the respected league it is, would be willing to help run it smoothly, but i can tell you first hand that CEVO did absolutely nothing to help the tournament. Celone himself told me "we cant do anything" about any rules or dispute, and that it was all up to the iGames guy who had no clue and openly admitted to having no clue about how to run the tourney."
