Maps

[Dead_One]

Anyone want to vote on which maps should be available at the lan, for quake3, half life, counterstrike, and unreal tournament?

I think the maps are being decided by Thomas.

[Graeme*Kustom*]

We`ve got some ideas already bouncing about - the plan was to use the demo maps in quake III so that people without the game can just install the demo and join in - for unreal tourny and c/s - well we`ll wait and see, but we`re obviously open to suggestions.

[Thomas @ Kustom]

Dead_one is also deciding the maps, I think for cs cs_militia, as_tundra de_prodigy, then one final mystery map that will be sprung, so no-one has had a chancwe to practice it.

They're a bit uncommon. Good ones to use would be cs_siege, de_dust, cs_italy. :-). Also if you used the Q3 demo maps that means I'd be able to play Q3 :-). *crosses fingers*. :eek:

[Craig]

don't forget a good rushing map, dust2, better when you practice it :)

[Richard]

Guys I don't think the demo version of q3 and the full version of q3 are compatible with each other cos the demo maps have some slight differences to the final released maps :(

[[TD]Domipheus]

Also, becuase of the many Q3 Point Release patches, the demo will be incompatible :(

[Thomas @ Kustom]

Don't worry guys everything will be cool... I think. Basically if push comes to shove we can have people playing the demo on one game, and people with the full game playing in the tournament.
Me and dead_one will try this out at the smaller test lan just to double check.

[[TD]Domipheus]

good :)

[Richard]

Ah cool, q3tourney4 and q3tourney2 are good duel maps and for free-for-all q3dm6 and q3dm7 are good too ;)
What format will the q3 tournament be, 1v1, ffa or tdm? Or will there be several different ones :))

[G-DeP]

No AS maps should be played, they al sux.

play

de_dust
de_dust 2
cs_prodigy
de_cobble aswell

[Thomas @ Kustom]

Quake3 tournament i think will be a ffa, basically over the course of 2 hours and as many maps as we can get through, the person at the end with the most kills wins, counter strike is going to be a little harder to moderate. We'll have to organise some sort of clan style play.

As for the counter strike mapping situation, at least one AS map will be used because it is part of counter strike, the VIP can be someone neutral(Like me ;) ) as well as DE and CS maps.

ffa!?!

please have SOME amount of duel play, ffa is basically spam and can be no fun at all :(

[Thomas @ Kustom]

Hmm duel play... wanna run by me how it works, I don't play quake3 as often as i should... teams? teams of 2? multiple teams?

[Richard]

Duel play is 1v1 so basically what you can do is set up a kind of tournament style play that works like the footie league cup. A draw to see who plays each other in first round, then the winner of their game goes through to the next round until it comes to a final between the last two people. Normally for duel competitions settings would be 15 minutes on a random map without a frag limit, the one with most frags at the end being the winner. If there arent many people playing then maybe a best of 3 for each round could be played, each player choosing a map each then if it is a draw after 2 the adjudicator chooses a map for the deciding game. This kind of play is the best for q3 tourneys :)

[Thomas @ Kustom]

Ok Sounds like fun, I'll try and work out some sort of league table for it today.
I don't know wheather we could combine the 2 modes of play. Where we play 1v1 until it's down to half of the initial people entered, then have an all out blast for the last halfhour over 2 maps.
I'll work out either way.

This is the last day you'll be-able to give me a suggestion, so reply quick, i'll be checking in at the shop.
