AWSOME!!! I don't play but EVERYONE i'm going with does and they'll be happy to see this!!!

[Amylacetate]

Thank you for posting some rules. Please use hardcore. Do it and this should be a hot tournament.

[The Commodore]

Will we be able to choose which console we play on, 360 or PS3? Getting put on a PS3 would give me a disadvantage, and I'm sure other people have this issue.

[Kane]

You may be able to choose which console, however that is all pending how many setups the tournament will have.

No promises either way. I'd suggest practicing on both consoles to boost your chances! I know I do!

[mole_force]

Kane you beat me to it.

Don't worry about controls, they're almost practical the same. The only thing you have to get use to is the switching of trigger buttons, that's about it.

I'll be finalising rules by tomorrow or so.

[The Commodore]

I don't have a PS3 or have any friends that do. ^^;

But thanks for the answer nonetheless!

[Kane]

The only buttons you need to play the game arn't even buttons: the Left & Right joystick. Left one's for moving, the Right's for stabbing. Watch out for my ninja knife!


But seriously; if its an issue, say something to Mole_Force at con and he will do his best to remedy the situaiton.

[SpicyNinjaCat]

I still don't understand the no perks rule. A stock class has stock perks. Can you clarify this please? Oh and how soon until you decide on which maps the tourny is based on? And by any map, do you mean any map that's going to be listed in the rules or ANY map (including the d/l'ed map pack)? I have very limited time to practice from now until the con.

As you stated, the split-screen multiplayer on CoD4 has premade stock classes with perks, but no "create your own class". To be at far, I want to turn off the perks since I know 3 out of those stock classes are overkill. But you do have a good point leaving perks on since some of the classes might be left out with a grenade or a pistol. I'll let you guys know soon after I get a few rounds on CoD4.

Before the end of the week, or even tomorrow. I'm restricting the whole tournament by the maps I deemed only to be played on. A side note, no DL'ed maps are going to be played on during the tournament.

[Kane]

Cooooome on Wetworks, Yeah Shipment!

Can't wait to see what you pick out there Mole_Force!

[SpicyNinjaCat]

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and guess that the reason for it being split screen is because of limited setups? And I'm assuming this is single elim given the time frame of the tourny too? Oh god I hope there's more 360 setups than ps3.

[Amylacetate]

Will we have time before a match to setup the controls to our liking? I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who plays Tactical inverted with 4 sensitivity.

[mole_force]

Exactly. I do hope we can get more tv's and consoles for this game next year because it feels alot better with separate screens. The only down fall with LAN battles is no splitscreen for team battles.

Of course there will be. There will be a 5 minute intervals between matches, thus allowing those who need to adjust their controller settings.

I hope I am not the only person to say I am extremely disappointed in how the situation with this tournament was handled. If someone would have posted on here and said "Hey we need more copies can anyone bring one?" I would have gladly brought mine. I was really looking forward to playing in the tournament, and it sucks that it got canceled because they were a few copies short. Would it have been entirely impossible to run the tournament a little short on games?

Wasn't canceled. Started late is all.

[The Commodore]

How late?! I was in the room for an hour after it was supposed to start and never heard anything announced.

The guy we talked to at the sign-up table said unless they got more copies of the game it probably wouldn't happen so we figured that was a no.
