Crashtec If you have the time yeah? Please do listen to that shoutcast. It is very important that you do. After hearing it I want to push competitive faster here. We have to do it or else we'll be always 1 year short. You are the man for the job because you can inspire people.
Try not to throw too much commercial attention into the community yet. We need it for ourselves. Like before there was CEVO there was CAL. It did not have any monetary funding but it made many competitive games popular. Players did join in for the fun but they were turned competitive as the games it supported had a learning curb to follow consistently and not randomly.
From CoD1 came CoD2. Everyone said CoD2 was better. Both competitive and public players. When it came out CoD1 died. That is the trend and the problem now everyone is facing here. We don't want to see more splits in splits. Lets try to keep it down to one gamemode at least. SnD.
CoD4 was not meant for Domination and CTF play. The spawn system is rubbish. There is just too much random. "Cap all 3 points and players spawn everywhere." Doesn't make any sense.. TDM is a waste of time. We want to see team tactics and clutchplay. I wouldn't say CoD4 was meant to be played SnD. But it has the best support for it. Almost all of the maps are good SnD maps.
We play what everyone else is playing we'll be ready for anything international when it hits us. Lets get this show on the road people. We play promod not because the other competitive scenes are but because we want to be on par with them. We can show that us Malaysians can be highly competitive players too.
Brian if you have the time I'd really like to speak to you privately. Either that or we could have a real discussion with clan leaders and a panel to keep the noise down alittle.
Haha, now we're getting somewhere.
You're not alone in this factor. Fact is, there was already talk between josh and i about separating snd from dom and tdm.
But in order to keep it interesting, we needed other game modes to draw people in. This is highly because there are very little random SnD games out there being started by players. New players just join TDM straight.
This is changing however, more and more people are finding time to play SnD, you wont see them touch Dom or Tdm unless they are training.
DAMN may be interesting as it puts other guns back into play, not just the 2 russian made weapons. but why call it Damn zzz, if im going to ask big guys to put it into their events.. the name is going to need a profanity filter or something.
Yes things will change, but not in the current league. Hopefully by Jan you'll see things picking up.
