MW2 Mini League Interest?

CORaven

Basically I would like to get a some form of competition running here on boards. Grand I have played a good bit with a few of ye, but this could be fun.

Each match will be 4v4.
Round one, game type and map picked by team A from a set list,
Round two, game type and map picked by team B from a set list,
Tie Breaker, TDM on predetermined map with no perks and no kill streaks.

Rules:
No launchers (bar stingers and javs),
no commando bull****


Would there be any interest?
Any maps and game modes suitable in mind?

I'll give a go.

Just be sure to give me plenty of notice for anything that's scheduled...

There was one of these organised back around March/April, and it died away after a few rounds. That was a 3v3 over three matches also. It was quite hard to get 6 people together at a set time, so getting 8 is likely to be harder.

I'd be happy to play, but am not sure how well it'll take off.

Btw, the boards comp group is still in place if you want to have a look.

JeanClaude

Count me in....

Haven't played MW2 in a few days...touch of a cold since Wednesday, wasn't in the form for it.... ......much better today, so probably all systems go again later tonight...

Mr. Manager

What way are teams to be done up? Is it a case of draft your own team or will it be a virtual hat type job?

joemcg18

id be up for it

everlast75

I'll be up for it too - but I wont be online from wed until the 6th of next month...

I think it's a good idea but would it be boards only on a team or boards member's friends on a team? We might struggle for numbers on the first and we'd lose some of the closeness and familiarity playing with strangers but we might need numbers.

How would we go about choosing teams would it be fairer to have a draft or nominate captains who pick or just go with your mates?

Don't want to pour cold water on a great idea just some thoughts on it.

well i suppose it wouldnt have to be teams . we could always go for free for alls ? small groups of 4 in maps or something along those lines . that way its not a case of getting stuck on an in experienced team its up to the individual to do good or bad

MWoods

Hey, also what happens if you don't have the map pack. I have the stimulus but not resurgence so what happens if the other team wanna play a map I don't have?

PerrinV2

I'll play if we start it up relatively soon,back to college in 3 weeks so my game time will be cut back to weekends.

I'd have to disagree altogether. Free For All is a mode where you need a huge amount of luck. The spawns are ridiculous and the reason i don't play it at all.

You do be on a 4 kill streak when someone you just killed spawns directly behind you and stabs you in the back.

TDM shows a persons skill more than FFA. FFA is a spawn based campfest imo.

id agree with you for the most part . but while your personal skill could be good even through the roof you can still loose in a tdm game . and yes ive had un lucky moments in free for all and it can be very difficult to get used to the spawns. but for the most part the best player will come out on top luck can only take you so far in the game

Hi Folks,

Just wondering if this is still a runner or whats happening? Would be interested in playing depending on how time etc pans out.

Dave

CORaven

Yeah, I think there is enough interest going for it.
I'm going to map a list of maps and game modes for it, do any of ye have any favourites in mind?
*edit*
no DLC maps: to make it easier for the teams.


I'm thinking of giving the teams a week for games to be played. Each team picks the most # of time slots they can play in during the week.
Ex: mon: 6pm to 8pm and mon: 8pm to 10pm would be a time slot each
If the teams can agree on a common time, grand. If not, the team who was most slots available wins by default and we make like travellers and move on... to the next round.

Or would someone have a better system?

Sorry Yim, I forgot to reply to your post.
Basically, you put forward a team captain. That person has to be on boards. He/She takes whoever they want to play on their team, but he/she is in charge of looking after and keeping their team in order. If they are not online when they are meant to, that's their problem. If one member their team do something against the rules, that's their problem.

Making a list of people and doing the schoolyard, I'll pick and then you pick will result in poor results. Not only will you be playing with randomers, you may not know how they play and support you. They may not even show up and you will be one man down.

Pick a team that you know and trust, that will show up when needed. I recommend anyone who is interested in taking part to play some night with the regular group and get to know a few of the guys.

My preferences would be


Maps:

Afghan
Terminal
Highrise(!)
Skidrow
Wasteland
Rundown


Game Types:

TDM
Domination
Demolition

I would definitely be up for this if there is a team that will have me as I havn't played with the boardsies very often. I don't have the map packs either

So if there are any teams looking for a 4th player lemme know, 2.13 k/d here, I know it's not a true sign of skill but it at least gives you some idea.

CORaven

Thanks X43r0, all good maps and game types.
Highrise and Terminal would work well in a 4v4 TDM

No worries about the maps. They are not needed for this tournie as it would be unfair to pressure people into getting them.

Yeah, anyone who does not think that they can get a full team, even if it is just themselves, post.

Mr. Manager

I only mainly play with people on Boards so if anyone is lookin for an extra member you know where to find me!*



My maps would be:

Highrise
Skidrow
Favela
Scrapyard

Game types:

TDM
Search and Destroy
Demolition
Capture the Flag

we did an interclan thing that was run very well a month or so ago, ran over about 8 weeks, every monday. Basically we just had everyone sign up, then setup a spreadsheet.

X amount of points for top scorer on winning team
X amount of points for top scorer on losing team
X amount of points for second on winning
X amount of points for second on losing
X amount of points for top fragger
X amount of points for winning

Played a game on each maptype, join auto on connect.

Take a screenshot of each scoreboard at end of game.

And then input the data at the end of the night.


Worked very well and was great craic, doing teams etc will not work, so being an indivual league is the only way imo.

kielmanator

I'm available for any team captain that wants to take me on, most of ye know me by reputation or gameplay at this stage anyway.

MWoods

Ye I'm available too for anyone looking for a new teammate. K/D is 1.07 and I have 11 nukes. Just send me a PM and I'll give ya my GT.

that's an interesting way of doing it. It can be a lot easier.
However, as a matter of interest, how long did air support stay up? I cannot imagine someone who was on top or second on their team switching to an anti-air class.

YEA l'd be up for this play it most days ,pm me and let me know the story
