yea, it would be good if you can provide just a bit clearer on the exploits.

If you can one hit KO a smoker by dragging him down a cliff, fair enough, i can allow that, invisibles walls were not made by the game developers so its shouldn't be used.

Basically i just want to have as little rules as possible to make it more fun, its up to the gamers pride and honor to respect the rules by not doing anything that you yourself would find unfair also.

1. Illegal spots- This should up to the discretion of the players, if you want to camp at vents, by all means, but if the other team does it also, you don't get to complain.

2. Skipping crescendos- anything that does not follow the natural game of play is illegal

Basically it will be up to the referee's discretion on what is illegal, if you have any exploits or things that you believe are illegal and should be included, do let me know and i'll see whether it's allowed or not.

Is this fair enough? I'm open to any comments or suggestions, i just want this as fun as possible for everyone.

i agree with these rules and regulations, vents i think should not be banned because it is actually part of the developers map and is NOT to be considered a bug. the enviroment is there for you to make use and it only depends on how creative you are in using it, But yes if you use the vents then dont complain if the other team uses the vents too :B. and Demonas from team..?

Hey, you guys mentioned using objects to block the survivors path is illegal. But if I'm not mistaken, in the new version, all movable objects will disappear after a certain amount of time (not sure how long though, maybe 30 seconds).

If that's the case, then I think that blocking path with objects should be fair, as good teams would know how to maneuver themselves on the map so as to not get stuck in an area without an exit, should a tank start hurling objects at them. In any case, it adds more fun to game play.

What do you guys think? Just my 2 cents.

and how are maps played supposed to be decided ?

A team only has to play for one weekend to see if they can qualify for the monthly tournaments that will be held on the sunday of the last month.

So basically you guys can try and play this week, and if you guys manage to qualify, you'll be eligible to play in the Monthly tournament at the end of this week.

Once you're in the monthly tournament, you stand a chance to win RM200 + 4 WD HDD.

Once you're the monthly champion, you just got to wait until the next monthly champion is decided before the final showdown.

So basically most teams would only have to play two to three days maximum

As for maps, it'll be decided through a lucky draw, the opposing team will have the opportunity to pick which map they'll be playing with against the WD Team.

Think of it like the EPL It's a league, just a very short one that requires you to play a few times and win big
