What would YOU want from a Multiplay Farcry Tournament?

[Elye]

Just as a thought, what would yourselves (Participants) want from a Farcry Tournament. Would you want team deathmatches for teams of up to 10 people? Or would you like small objective maps for 5 or so people a team?

Post your thoughts below please ...

As with other games, it perhaps requires two competitions, Team DM is very different from the "Assault" mode - I'd suggest either two competitions, or using assault mode, as Team DM, while fun for 5 mins on a public, is very bland and unsuited to that kind of game, whereas Assault offers tactics/rushes and interesting challenges.

Oh, and how about not coming up against the eventual winners in round one (and a team who know how to hide in bushes!) :p

[Elye]

Yes Afty, im sure your sore about losing your 1st round battle to QRGR, the eventual winners. But remember

"Winners dont use bushes"

So how does this sound, a 5 to 12 person Farcry Assault tournyment, with each side playing the map 6 times overall (3 on each side). Then move onto another map or something ...

[afty]

Yeah sounds good - larger teams are more fun, but I have a feeling that once you get past 6/7 some of the assault maps would get so crowded that the attacking teams would get pinned down.

the one where you have to defend/attack shiz and the attacking team has to get to the other team's flag.

dunno what it is, played it at catslan though :)

Could do with a patch to sort the memory leak/framerate bug though.

From forums it's fairly common, and affects me - I need to leave/rejoin a server once every 5 mins or so - my framerate gets worse and worse from the moment I enter the game till I do this.

plus the pings are fairly attrocious atm... altho that shouldn't be a problem on a LAN :)

[afty]

The latest patch appears to have solved many of the network latency issues, and yes on a LAN ping isn't an issue.

[Optimus]

so is a ping of 60-100 right for a 1mb cable connection?

i think the prize should be a free copy of cloneCD and Alcohol 120%

I dunno what the standard settings for an Assault mode are, but I think if it can be changed, the player respawn time should be increased, as it seemed far too easy to be killed, have the flag start capping, and make it back in time to recap the flag and rocket the attackers.

[jugster]

1st prize would be nice!

:)

patch 1.1 seems to have fixed this issuse and i think it would be fun to hold a tournament but the standard MP maps dont seem to be V.good and lack that extra something.

[Mamacita]

A cap on the number of rocket launchers in the game? :p

[Cabe]

assult is clearly the way forward, than and perhaps the ability to spawn a load of trigens in the defenders base :)
