BW EF Mega Game

Hiya Guys,
Barrysworld are thinking of holding a mega game for EF, which will be used to load test the tech trial stuff.

But they have asked me to come up with a list of large maps/settings that can be used. Now I do have my own ideals but I always like to get your voices on the subject as the people in this forum are the ones most likely to play :)

Also for the top players in the game BW (So i have been told) will be able to offer some prizes, which may include free subscriptions, and maybe some EB/Game vouchers.

I await your comments as always. :clap:

hmmmmmmmmmm sounds good to me :D

kinda like the jk2 mega game rite? where a player from my clan got kicked cos he was owning them to much? ROFLMAO

anyways...

either make the mega game something like instagib, or maybe gladiator arena! in these gametypes there can only be one winner really.... ;)

but if u make it ctf or somewt, im cool with that too ;)

yeah I got the mail about it as well from Biggy.

My personal view is it's going to be difficult to run,obviously the first thing will be the amount of players we can get to play.To get over this hurdle I think if all people who read this thread contact thier clans or mates and tell them about it to try and get some more interest.................after all theres prizes ;)

Then theres game types

CTF-Obviously the most popular style of the game and it would more than likely draw in alot of interest.

Problem- As this is going to be public how can we arrange the teams? can we sort the teams into skill or is that going to take alot of time? for example if one team had 5 good players and the other only had 3 this team is going to feel cheated.

Size-Biggy mentioned about a 10 v 10 or even 16 v 16 which is a good idea if you have ADSL/cable but the 56kers would lose out and therefore it could be seen as eliteist and unfair.

------------------

Disi- popular enough to draw in alot of interest.

shares the same problems as CTF

------------------

Gladiator- TBH I don't think this is popular enough at the moment,I've downloaded it and not even bothered to try it as yet.

Problem- Obviously it's a new game type so therefore most players will be on the same level,then again some are going to be way ahead and therefore make it unfair.BW don't have Gladiator on thier servers at this point in time so it will need to be put on if this is used.

------------------


In conclusion why not use all of them lol
Biggy said it was running for a week so theres pleanty of time :)

well I said to Biggy that 10 v 10 or 16 v 16 would be too much,especially as we are going through the newbie camping phase ATM oh and the CLF one as well ;) plus it would be too laggy for internal 56kers to join.
I suggested a straight 8v8 with an extra password protected space (like Jolt) for an admin to keep an eye on the matches.

yeah but the whole meaning of a mega game is to have lots of players on the same server, 8v8 is just like a normal game.

8v8 with LOADS of team swapping is a normal game....

Yeah but then if you have lots of players it's going to be one hell of a boring match capture wise.If your going to have 20+ players you may as well do FFA.

lol stevo u motormouth u...

i think gladiator is the best for these reasons...

A) most people either have barely played it or havent, thus nearly everyone is starting from scratch

B) it is better equipped gametype to handle more players everywhere, since it is elimination and there are about 10 rounds (configged differently if u want) or more....

C) u can choose any map, large or small, with larger being better since the more peeps u get the more crowded it will be...

D) u dont have to pick up weapons thus no ques etc and no waits... everyone gets their own weapon at begin of server start..

E) the rules are shown on screen b4 each round, so not even the dumbest people can not understand whats going on...

F) ummmmmmmm it r0x?!?! ;)

instagib and ctf 10v10 or more is overkill, and no1 wud be able to move or get weapons on some maps.... but with gladiator we cud choose a large CTF or DM or FFA map to go on...simple..

mmm

jungle would be a nice map for a mega game, it can have 32 people easy or 64 people lol ,a nice map with loads of space and it is the most downloaded map ever on effiles.com atm ( almost 6000 in only two months ) so it would also be a kinda reward for Andrews hard work !
He would like that very much.

Just a idea

And no deathpacks ; )

After playing it last night I really think Dreadnoughts hit the spot with the gladiator idea.I played it for 1 1/2 hours last night on popes with a few of the SOL guys (and gals) and had an excellent time on padgarden.
Even if we don't use the mod for the megagame at least could we have a server from BW with it on?

lol told u m8, rocks eh? its gr8 fun and very suitable for all!

only thing with jungle map is, yeh its been d/l lots and lots... but on my lower end pc i dontget too good fps on it when theres say 5 people on it, let alone 30 or something! people will low end spec machines will have no chance on that map in some areas :/

some maps like ctf_for1, matrix jump program!!!!!!!! and hm_altar are massive, but fps is still good for lower end spec pcs...

just a thought

I participated in the JK2 Megagame, and it was great fun.

I think Gladiator Arena is one option for this. Remember that Gladiator Arena is a Server-Side mod, so no client installation is needed.
It is highly tuneable as well, so it can be restricted to certain weapons. The options are many and varied, and would take a while to document here.

The JK2 Megagame was FFA with no frag limit. They had several Servers on standby, and I think they planned for up to 32 players per server. As it turned out only one was used.

MCP have Gladiator running on our Server on Wednesdays, we have been using photons only with no alt fire enabled. Great fun. It can also be in2tagib enabled. I think CTF would be the wrong format for a Megagame.

If anyone wants to try out Gladiator Arena, give me a shout.

/SHOUT

I was in your server the other day but no-one else was there.

I was erm floating with a hypospray.... so we were flying around healing each other? :p

Yeah, in Galdiator you always float around with a hypo until someone else joins - god knows why!

Wednesdays is the best day m8, or pop in to #mcp, someone will be there who'll give you a game.

Why was it scrapped?

These Megagames are the best thing ever! The JK2 one was a great laugh, best fun I've had in months online.

Where's the info on the SOF2 Megagame? Anyone know?
