why have to make randomly team, why cannot fixed team?? argh!! i wan play with my mate~
huhu. ok then~ i'll join this CoD4 tour.

kong, At tbun aman suria and wangsa maju got a lot of cod players. Like at tbun wangsa maju,mostly malays are playing cod. but still got some chinese. they sure don't know about this. they must know! lol. cod FTW!

u think we going to play ffa at shipment with 20players? omg...i dun wan play if 20players ffa at shipment. Ur head will pening2.lol.

i will check this post everyday.lol.

breaking ppl up randomly is a horrible idea.

probably 5v5 with gamemodes such as capture the flag or capture the point would be nice but not sure if local populace is familiar with such things at all (since afaik not many ppl play fps anymore and even fewer tried anything further than dm)

you should try a tf2 tournament instead. the tf2 scene is growing up nicely. lots of new clans popping up to contest with the old. check out the gamesync forums. they're still exploring the possibilities but most rules have already been established locally and internationally.

I disagree.. I am from MBT and very active in FPS online gaming especially in the Battlefield series and COD4 is happy to say that FPS is still strong, only not as strong as the number of players from DOTA.. but how i see is that we just need to bring back those glory days from the ppl that was once from CS.. yes ladies and gentlemen, malaysia was full of gamers which the majority was CS(Counter Strike) and if any of you who is unaware what that game is(been living under a very big rock) an FPS.. And all this blood hungry junkie need is a taste of it and they will flourish all we need is to make the first step.. I employ you not to make this an individual contest as COD4 will really be greater if it was a team based contest..

Please reconsider the FFA method.. If your worried about not going to have enough people/teams/clans that will be joining this brilliant event, fear not as i will try to bring in as many Battlefield series players into this event and if your wondering, MBT has over 50 players.. And this is not including players from other Battlefield series like @MP, XEF, FFF, CERT and etc..

PLEASE RECONSIDER IN MAKING THIS EVENT INTO A HARDCORE SEARCH AND DESTROY MODE OR DOMINATION MODE as this will test every team's teamwork and skills..

anything, anyone can xfire me if you need me..

BTW helicorpster you say there are times in your CC that COD4 players are more then DOTA players? I like this.. tell me more about this.. When do they play the game? Do you mind if MBT drop by on these occasions?

Cheers..
See You On The Battlefield..

HC Search & Destroy sounds very interesting. It would be really cool to see the local scene come up with teams to participate.

This would encourage the formation of more local clans

I understand the purpose of breaking up ppl into team randomly. Please give the new and curious ppl a breathing chance. Bring your dota friends to play this game, spread the words!!! because now dota tourney is all about clan matches, newcomers can't budge in unless they have a uber skillz or join a decent clan and mix in with their top tier lineup. I believe pro tourney will be scheduled after this even if this event is somewhat unsuccessful.

wei...make internet touny too le. i wanna join. hahahha...

ah seng, i worked with you on the Dark Crusade tournament last month...

nothings final, don't worry. what map would you recommend?

random is to make it more noob friendly. if noobs see ur team, they might run away.

i guess shipment is a big nono. i only play SP, haven't tried MP so i can't decide on the map. i need everyone here to suggest.

breaking up people randomly = playing randomly in a cafe with strangers = more opportunities = more casual.
hope the above is easy to understand.
im still more keen to do FFA, as it is easier to understand for now.

TF2= not interested.

helicorpster is right, there are a lot of COD4 kakis there. sorry to disappoint u but im not keen to make this a hardcore tournament. my aim is to make a fun and casual tournament.

maybe later.

yes, its to introduce noobs to the game in a casual format while having an objective (not a grand cash prize, but with enough incentive to try the game and have fun).

with TMNut, R U NUTS?

I don't mind but make it TDM. There's no sense in having a competition and having just DM. Leave DM to Unreal and Quake. Their maps are more suitable for it.

And a few suggestion on my part,

- Ban Shipment and Wet Work. These maps are grenade magnets. No use in calling it a tourney even a casual one at that if everyone's just going to lob grenades at each other.

- I don't mind the other modes, but i haven't played them yet. I've only played Hardcore once and TDM most of the time. I'm guessing it's safe to say that the others in the CoD thread mostly play TDM or Hardcore as well.

- I advocate FFA ONLY AND ONLY IF there aren't enough people for TDM.

- Lower the fees, even BF tourneys arent this expensive. RM10 should do about right. Especially if you have more people.

, DM tourney is just dumb. DM FFA that. This is not quake, or you could have it DM 1v1, that's it. Anything else, drop it. move on to the usual Team based matches. Meaning HC SnD, or HC, Domination.

So much more things to learn from HC SnD & HC Domination, teamwork is very very important in those modes, since you say "to work together with strangers", im thinking you want the community to grow right? Well you dont want hardcore, then just make it SnD 5v5 or 5v5 Domination. Would be great if its a 8v8, do you have that many players on your side?

We have the battlefield community could send 3-5 teams already.

sorry, i confused myself earlier (damn work).

it's suppose to be a TDM, not FFA. just that the players will be randomised at the start of each round.

A1.Random (since u just want to intro ppl to the game and there might be some uber teams out there)

A2.Anything but wetwork and shipment would be fine "Bloc" mayB?

A3.Depends on amount of players the more joins the more time you will need but afternoon till about night shoule be ok with breaks la

A4.5 or 8 players 3 players is too little for other maps which are HUGE

A5.TDM,Domination,SnD but since its casual TDM should do it the other 2 really need strats and solid teamwork not something one can build up in a shot time span

A1. Either one also can.

A2. Depends on the numbers of players. But no Shipment,WetWork and Bloc.

A3. Morning or afternoon. If evening too late already.

A4. Players more than 5 better. Cause the map quite big.

A5. Sabotage,Domination or TDM. I dun wan SnD cause almost same like CS.

i'd reckon on 8v8 since 5v5 isn't much that attractive, currently i'm playing on AAT aussie server (1.0 patch since 1.4 patch dont have low ping servers). U'd like to play with 16v16 games but in casual tourney it would be too crowded doing so. 8v8 +1

by the way im from ipoh @@ would be also interested to come over KL for a 2days vacation for it, mebbe 3 days if got lenglui introduced there =P

A1. U could have both if u got the time. The Fixed team can be a features game, without price, im sure the BF community will agree on this one?

A2. Any will do

A3. Ur target audience are? Pretty hard for some people who work in da morning if u wan to held this event around that time. unless weekdays (saturday & sunday).

A4. 8 will be great if impossible then 5

A5. HC / DM

you coming back to malaysia for this game?

Q5. Suggested game modes

A1. Random teams, since CoD4 is a new game, not many people know how to play it, so it wouldn't make teams imba.
A2. Anything except Shipment and Wetwork of course. (Nade and Noobtubers' heaven)
A3. Preferably in the morning around 10am.
A4. Minimum of 5 players per team.
A5. Teamdeathmatch is a good game mode for starters, new players would know what to do from the very start. Just eliminate the opposing team . Also since most people know Counter-Strike, playing Search and Destroy is exactly the same as PlantBomb/Defuse maps. I also recommend Sabotage and Domination game modes.

Q2. Map suggestions
Q3. Time to play in the tournament: morning, afternoon or evening

Q5. Suggested game modes

A1. Fixed teams for the clans who would want to play together. If you should want to focus on the casual side, you could have slots for mixture of players to form up a team and join in as well.

A2. I believe there're around 16 maps in COD4 Multiplayer (excluding the map Winter Crash) so maybe you could take in about 5 maps or so, based on votes from the participants whose interested to join in this event.

A3. Around 10-11 in the morning to afternoon onwards.

A4. Minimum 5 and a maximum 7 players inclusive of 2 subs.

A5. Hardcore Search & Destroy / Domination / Team DeathMatch.

Just my 2 cents

I will still go for random placing.Else, make this a clan match instead.
Q2. Map suggestions
Anything
Q3. Time to play in the tournament: morning, afternoon or evening
Preferable start early morning. Not everyone's parent would consider you to come back 12am. At least parent will still support if the tourney start in the morning.
Q4. Players in a team: 3 or 5
8
Q5. Suggested game modes
Whatever....

Depends on the timing
