tournament suggestions

[Olap]

well what you reckon?

I would say with ut3 out. A nice big ut3 2v2 instagib could be fun. If not enough people have 2k4?
perhaps a c&c3 tourney?

Big games:
cod4 - should be out by then
ut3 - hoverboard madness!!!
bf2 - as bf2142 is poo

and no steam games...

[Deep Blue]

I think that just about everyone has BF2 :)

Don't forget the LAN staples :

TF2
Flat Out 2
Spot of Doomsday perhaps?
Armagetron :)

Steam will be on offer as we'll have a dialup for doing the auths :)

[NiceGuy]

Counter Strike:Source

[Sakey]

Well I was def thinking Flat Out 2 and UT3 is a possibility.

Along with a console type tournament (basically highest score at the end of the LAN wins).

Prizes will all be dependant on how many people go.

Nice Guy, I could try and run a CSS tourny, but I can almost 100% say we won't get enough people to run it. Sorry.

[mulllet88]

Also you would be aswell just giving niceguy the prize as he is going to win! :P

[PseudoPhreak]

i think Dex Vs Niceguy, 1 on 1 in cs:s could be fun to watch

[Bloodnok]

I also would like to regain my Flatout 2 Crown :P

[ZeroG]

UT3 will be quite new and PC demanding so I think the majority might not have it. CSS should definately be out the window and over the hill. Evil evil game.

Failing a UT3 tourny UT2k4 is always fun and TF2 as well.

[gemini]

Not sure how everyones computers will cope with UT3. But il hopefully have it anyways.

My votes

1. UT2004 (Free 4 all / 4v4)
2. Flatout 2 (Free 4 all)
3. Team fortress 2 (4v4)

[OMLE]

UT2k4 CTF instagib.

[PseudoPhreak]

UT2k4 CTF instagib.

oh yeah, thats the shit i'm talking about

It was THE game of the LAN last time. O_o

Please put in CSS! It's a main reason i come to BreachLAN.

[mulllet88]

True we did play source for an impeccably long time last lan..... It was alot of fun. Sourceforts!

[Dyce]

TF2 is bloody magic! A must for the LAN tbh. Anyone who hasn't play it should buy it IIMMEDIATELY off steam, as it is by far the best game I've played in ages.

It's not big, it's not cleve, but it is a brilliant FUN multiplayer :)

[NiceGuy]

Counter Strike Source... ^_^

[Castiana]

Aye, I HATE CS:S, but i'm with NiceGuy :)

[gemini]

I like css but I would prefer that we play it as a game, not as a Tournie. Thats my oppinion anyway.

[PseudoPhreak]

that will probably happen, chances are there wont be a tourney as not many people like playing it like that, especially if there is people who play it all the time in opposing teams.
But yeah, there will be random games popping up that im sure everyone will jump in and entertain you

But it is TERRIBLE competitively - please don't edit this again. I played it in a tournament at CLUK and it was awful.

[Deep Blue]

TF2 Would be ideal for a big game :)

[Bloodnok]

Aye, the more who buy the orange box, the merrier it shall be :D

[ZeroG]

The problem with the standard game as tournies is there's certain people who almost always win it.

Some completely random game as a tourny would be fun.

[NiceGuy]

Hey, here's a new idea -have a counter strike source tourney, it's intense!!

[Sakey]

You do realise the more you go on about CS, the less chance of us even running a server for it :p

Scotlan used to have a guy that went to some of their LANs who was brilliant at UT. He kept on going on to Matt about running a UT tourny. Matts response was this:

"Why should I run a tournament just for you that it is obvious you are going to win?"

I think our response is pretty much the same. The other aspect is, although people enjoy playing CSS as a fun game, they don't enjoy playing it competitively, myself being one of them.

If you can get at least 4 teams of 4 people interested, I will consider running one

[mulllet88]

I think Dave should just be appeased and given a counter strike tournament all for himself. It's not likle anyone else has a chance of winning... :P

[Bloodnok]

Has this got to do with my xfire profile http://www.xfire.com/profile/minisport/ and anyway im dangerous for a reason:

Team Attacks & Team Kills and those lovey random self nade kills....:mad:.

Anyway TF2 :cool: is more fun than css i would say

[PseudoPhreak]

NiceGuy = Dave

[Bloodnok]

too many Daves.... and im not thinking

There is no guarantee i would win at all, my mate OD-Tassadar is here this time, he stands a chance...

Besides! -> Doesn't that Zer0 guy win every single UT tournament? You still play that!

[PseudoPhreak]

zero doesnt win all the time, and if he doesnt, it isnt by much, theres often a few others not far behind him

[Sakey]

No ZeroG doesn't, he has, admitedly, won the last two but I have won it, Rock Munkey has won it. Each time there was only a few frags in it.

Also, we may be running that but it will not be prize winning this time.

Like I said though, post a thread. If you can get at least 16 people willing to enter it, then I will think about running then tourny. I can't say fairer than that.

[ZeroG]

I've won the UT2k4 insta 3 times out of the last 4, one before last I didn't play :) As F_Sake said he technically won one but since he was staff it didn't count. I don't know why I'm always top/near top since I never play the game outside the lan.

I still think completely random tournies would be better.

[Castiana]

NiceGuy = Dave

Nope, D4V3 = DangerousDave :p

Completely random touny: RA2. Fara is NOT allowed to enter :p

[PseudoPhreak]

Nope, D4V3 = DangerousDave :p

well yes, put niceguy is also a dave, and was the dave that was being referenced previously

[Castiana]

O_o that made no sence to me...

[Olap]

what is this geometry wars? am I the only person who doesn't know about it?

Also indeed, ZeroG does have some good ut skills, and a nice mouse matt for each time he one but it is always close. Everybody would like to have a chance at winning in a tournament hence the unknown ones such as the geometry wars and the new tf2, the theory being no one is good enough yet. I just hope enough people have it by then. Still I think the savage 2 might be out by then and it's free to demo on a lan

I'm not a fan of rts tourneys as they take forever. I think a guitar hero 3 knock out could be amazingly fun, it's multiplayer is supposed to be incredibly fun.

What I'm more worried about is a timetable for big games. I suggest 1 friday night to get everyone started, 2 sat afternoon, evening left air bucaneers and flatout2 and whatever else people play. Then on sunday about noon the 100 frag game followed by mad double dom

[Castiana]

And maybe some UT assault?

[MadmaN]

Q3 FTW??? :D - nah it dont matter ill be happy alsong as i get atleast one game on lan lol. :D

[Lizii]

As long as i have a shopping list in plenty of time before the lan - i am cool.

[mulllet88]

Is geometry wars on the 360? I want to see some COD4 at the lan.

[Pinj]

"Why should I run a tournament just for you that it is obvious you are going to win?"

Someone has to win..

tbh i dont think niceguys that good at css anyway :)

[NiceGuy]

:P

[MadmaN]

My m8 Sytrix is a hardcore cs 1.6 player who has played cs 24/7 for a few years lol he reckons cs source is easy :D we shall see at the lan lol.
