Improvements

[Sam_Chan]

Now that BreachLAN 2 is only about a month away, it's time to start organising things.

This thread is for you guys to express what you think would improve the LAN so we can take it into account.

things like the big games, tournaments and teh console corner.

More CS/ CS:S is not a valid answer :P

I also ask you to bear in mind that there is a time limit on the amount of things we can do, so keep the suggestions within reason please

well tbh, it wont be much harder to play more cs, as it wasnt played much on a whole, well i dont think i acutally played it at all at #1, i was kinda put off cos of the cs clan and getting my ass whopped, got it whopped bad enough in the quake tourney!!! :?

[Sam_Chan]

We were meant to be having a CS tournament if i recall correctly and it didn't happen, but there were some people playing CS on their own.

Now, how about something costructive?

[Deep Blue]

Even if we can get a list of big games, that you guys would like to play. I've got some idea, but it's up to you guys!

I have a few suggestions as tourneys dont have to all include big games:

Dawn of War
Rome Total War
General / ZeroHour
Robot Arena 2

[Sam_Chan]

HAMSTERBASH!!!!!!!

Are we bringing back the consoles again?

Super Smash Bros Melee FTW!

[Deep Blue]

I dunno, depends on how much room you have in the tranny and if we can get a telly

[Amadeus]

get a big game of Civ4 going.

and the usual:

BF2/bf1942/desert combat
CoD/cod
cs/cs:s
ut2k4 instagib

and for the old school mohaa *nudges" [R]itchie lol

02(1206:3302) 02<02+01ZeroG02> 01nah Dyce just used to spam so it made it look as tho it was busier :

[Sam_Chan]

well guys the only thing that can make the forums busier is you.

(or dex under about 6 diff names :P)

The only problem i have with Amadeus's idea is that Civ 4 could be a bit too time comsuming.

On a more personal note, my pc won't run bf2 without lagging into unplayablilty and cs/cs:s is evil "hiss" :P

Neotokyo was fun, and did i mention HAMSTERBASH!!!! :mrgreen:

[PseudoPhreak]

i will track down a load of mods for ut2004, give even more variety, will try and gets one that is easy to install for everyone.

[Deep Blue]

Should definatly have a Robot Arena 2 Build off though, 15 mins to build and test your own robot destroyer!

I kinda thought the hole ordering pizza looked a nightmare. No one was agreeing on what to do and then you finaly got a pizza after 2 hours of complaining about food. Pizza this time or something different like chinease?

[Deep Blue]

It is pretty hard to organise pizza for 20+ people, and i didnt think we were waiting that long!

[PseudoPhreak]

the pizza ordering was a nightmare cos some people were pissing about, we were ordering it altogether to save money, but next time if you want, you can order whatever you want to, you dont have to wait for the rest of us

[Deep Blue]

And i'm sure if you dont wanna wait, you can blag a lift off of someone, time permitting on friday, I like to go out for my Ritual kebab with Amadeus and have room in me car for others!

[Sakey]

Sam to do less posts in red :P

[CheesePlant]

Hi, you guys don't know me but please talk to Dex ASAP about the leaflets, its getting closer and they have to be printed and if your planning on sending/handing them out you'll not have much time.

[Dyce]

Sam to do less posts in red :P

Seconded.

[Pinje]

im up for a kebab

[Deep Blue]

something safer than that chinese eh pinje? :D

[Pinje]

That chinease was decent. Top quality chicken curry cant beat it with some rice but kebab is good competition. As i say anyway if your driving out to get kebabs give me a shout.

[Deep Blue]

Will do buddy

[kingconan]

Yeah! give me s shout as well bud :)

[imported_prism]

I'll third that kebab idea

[PseudoPhreak]

mmmm reclaimed meat ftw

[Deep Blue]

I eat chicken kebabs, no doner

[Cerro]

ditch cs and just say CS:S.

Generals is pants... EA butchered a wonderful game in C&C.

Neotokyo was AWESOME! More neotokyo! I was surprised how well it played, i'm not a UT2K/Quake fan but neo was more my kind game. Obviously you need air bucaneers too.

Civ4 would be cool however there is two problems with it 1) it takes ages! 2) even with the latest patch its not 100% stable and its not fun when you crash out of a 4 hour game just as you're about to win.

Rome Total War would be cool and DoW Winter Assault would be even cooler... Winter Assault is a massive improvement in gameplay over standard DoW, get it if you don't have it already.

BF2 is cool but demanding, however most ppl seemed able to play it with the gfx turned to uber-blocky and it was fun! Sam if you need a gfx card i'll let you borrow my old FX5600 - it managed BF2, not great but good enough.

[Sakey]

Civ 4 may be unstable, but what about civ2 multiplayer. As good as Civ 4 and stable as a rock.
