Anyone have a clue what games are going to be played in the tournaments this year?
-
Yep. Plenty of clue. Tourneys are typically listed 30 days prior to the event so look for a complete list with rules and what not in the next week. Expect to see:
CS:S
TF2
MW3
BF3
UT3
L4D2
and perhaps others.
-
I plan on joining the L4D2 team led by one Heywood Jablowmie.
-
So this means no Oregon Trail or sword fights?
-
I think Petch is holding a private round robin sword fight. Contact him for details.
-
Invitational, I heard.
-
Actually, a serious response here. Tournaments will be finalized and announced the evening of January 28th.
-
Will console tournaments be provided as well? That was a good time last year, even getting mopped up in Madden.
-

I will have an Oregon Trail 2 dedicated server up and running for you by the time of the lan
**Glances over and sees my Oregon Trail 2 CD! Yes I still have it
-
You know what would a totally off the wall, completely contrasting idea for a tournament?
Some type of passive physical challenge. An arm wrestling contest. A pushup contest.
I would love to see a bunch of nerds dukin it out in arm wrestling. It would be extremely entertaining and fun.
-
Let's just take that a step further and rent a mma cage and go all-out with a professional rules mma tournament.
Let's just take THAT a step further and declare me the winner before it even begins!
-
You know what would a totally off the wall, seeing 200 sweaty guys touch eachother.
Fixed that for ya :)
-
Reminds me of my wrestling days.
-
Yeah, me too. Only difference is that if I tried to wrestle now my heart would probably explode.

From the excitement I am sure!

Question about the BF3 tournament now that it switched to 8v8...
This really only is a concern because of Metro.
The map is EXTREMELY unbalanced itself. The Russian path to B is quicker, and once there its a very hard up hill battle for B for the US team up narrow flights of stairs/escalators. I'm not sure how much of an issue this is with 8v8, but the other normal servers I've never won a Metro conquest round from the US team that I can remember.
Will there be two rounds, one for each side? If both teams win, whoever had the most tickets remaining wins? something along those lines? This would eliminate any kind of advantage by the map itself.
-
F3ar0n confirmed for me that there will be 2 rounds. Each team will have a round for US and a round for OpFor.
But yeah, I have no love for that map on any server sizes over 20. 64 player spam fests on there are redic.

Thats good to know.
Dont know how much FITES is mirroring official rules of other tournamants, but this should make you happy:
http://www.esl.eu/eu/bf3/conquest/8on8/openingcup/rules/ (http://www.esl.eu/eu/bf3/conquest/8on8/openingcup/rules/)
5.3.1.3. Perks/Unlock Restrictions
These perks or items are not allowed to be used:
MAV drone
spawn beacon
For all Cups and Ladders we will ban the following attachments for infantry weapons:
IRNV Scope
Tactical Light (including pistols with tactical light)
-
meh we'll see. i dont want this to become CSS
-
I for one have no preference either way. I was poking fun at Broken more than anything :D
I can see why its banned, but at the same time, they're part of the game and can also be included.
This is the least concerning thing. I'm just thoroughly excited theres a BF3 tournament to begin with. Thank you FITES!
-
Hey man, I wont say people cant use them. That is up to the officials. I do, however, reserve the rigth to call some one a cowardly puss for using them. Then I will equip them and destroy them.

But you know if this was a real life situation and using either of those devices would save your arse, you'd use them.
-
I have played maybe an hour of the game. And I love being on Czar and dwg's squad. I love when they look at me. ;)

In RL, they dont do what they do in the game.
-
Here we go. ::)
-
Eh, Either way i prefer the 338 and the tomahawk over irnv and a flashlight lol
-
Is there any hope in getting a League of Legends tournament going here? Its free to play so i think the participation would be high. Its also pretty competitive.
-
I'd be down with announcing something and running a bracket. Come see a staff member at the lan and we'll get some details finalized. It won't be an official tourney as there'll be no trophy for it but we'll still help with the bracet stuff.
-
I have one question! For the 2v2 MW3 (Xbox360) tournament, what is the set up? Split screen or individual screens?
-

Ohh that's a good question. I might be (and probably am) completely wrong, but I believe it will be split screen. This would be a question for Ogar to answer. I know we have all been busy so if he doesn't see this I will talk to him tomorrow and get you a definitive answer.
-
1 team per console, Split screen.
-
So you're saying each team will be using one screen, so there would be two consoles and two screens per match?
-
Correct
-
What ever happened to the Rockband tournament? There wasn't one last year either. :'( I had a blast competing in that my first year at fites. Was my singing that bad that you guys took it away? :bigcry: :hehemean:
-

Well, yes.
Ha no. I kid :) I think we ran out of room for it. Was lots of fun though. I'll ask around and see if we have room for it.

Wouldnt mind seeing this make a comeback although the rockband / guitar hero craze has faded out over the past 2 years :(
