  • [GND] BC2 SDM Tournament

    14eawsw

    Today we are pleased to announce the first ever [GND] Gaming Competition. This will be Squad Deathmatch on the popular Battlefield Bad Company 2 using [GND]'s BC2 Server! You have three weeks from today to post your squad. This is the 7th of September at 8PM GMT.

    As you can tell from the title, the game mode of choice is Squad Deathmatch. A squad should be 5 players, with one of them being a substitute if someone is playing bad or is unable to make it for the whole competition. At least one person from each squad is Required to sign up and post in the supplied topic with the rest of the squads names. Post your squad in this thread. If you don't have a squad but still want to take part, post in this thread, giving us your name and location (country only) where we will be working as matchmakers and will put you in a team with people that are close to you.

    A round will compromise of 3 different maps, and the team with the highest amount of kills after the 3 maps are the winners are will progress to the next round. This will then repeat until we have a winning squad.

    Rules
    There are a few rules that we have put in place in order to make the game as fair as possible. These are:
    • NO tanks. Use of a tank will result in immediate disqualification.
    • You must turn up 10 minutes before your match is scheduled to start.
    • A maximum of 2 players per class in a squad
    • Squad leader MUST sign up for GND and post their squad
    • No abuse of any kind to any of your opponents
    • Multiple squads from a clan are allowed
    • You may only enter for 1 squad
    • Every squad should take a screenshot of the score and winners to stop any arguments.
    • A Mumble and/or Teamspeak channel will be allocated for your squads use.
    • A Ping limit of 300 will be set. This will allow entrants with good connections from further afar to enter.
    • Carl Gustav is banned


    Prizes
    The winning squad (and reserve) will each receive a Killer 2100 network card, with shipping paid for by GND and Bigfoot Networks.

    GND 2100 Set GND 2100 Solo

    You can find our review of the Killer 2100 here

    Thanks
    We want to say a MASSIVE thanks to Bigfoot Networks for their sponsorship, allowing us to give these fantastic prizes away.

    Regards,

    [GND]

      Hmm. Some of this is a bit hard to understand.
      We have 3 weeks to post our server? Huh?
      And what do you mean post your squad?

      Also, I don't like rule number 2. I think they player should be allowed to use their favorite gun, and if their favorite gun is in the medic class and there's 2 other medics, then they're out of luck. I don't think there should be a set limit. But obviously if the whole team is medics we have to say something.

      Before you start making "your own" rules i'd suggest us to use the rules used in ESL for the fairest gameplay possible.

      These are the Weapons that are not allowed in ESL.
      4.2.1.2. not allowed weapons/items
      no M60 LMG, MG3
      no M2 Carl Gustav AT
      no Mortar Strike
      no AN-94 Abakan
      no NEOSTEAD 2000 Combat, SPAS-12 Combat, 870 Combat
      And the server settings:
      3.2. Serversettings
      Punkbuster: ON
      FriendlyFire: ON
      TeamBalance: OFF
      KillCam: OFF
      MiniMap: ON
      3rdPersonVehicleCameras: ON
      CrossHair: ON
      3DSpotting: OFF
      MiniMapSpotting: ON
      HardCore: OFF
      Ticketratio: 200 tickets
      Startdelay: 60 seconds
      Here is the ESL rules: http://www.esl.eu/eu/bfbc2/conquest/.../ladder/rules/
      Note that there are "different" rules to the different ladders, but so far i can see its the same regarding weapons and serversettings.

      @Victor. This isn't an ESL Tournament, it's our own 'Official' tournament.

      So what??
      Does that mean that you will allow CG spamming and abusive use of medic guns?? And i know you want hardcore but that doesn't really make gameplay fun and fair. And if we use the ESL rules we will get something in between hardcore and non-HC...

      I quote myselfe again:

      I guess your right.
      But atleast we know no one in GND is like that with CG Spamming and Camping. I use a variety of weapons, I don't normally stick to just one.
      But I guess we should have some stricter rules.

      We should ban CG used against infantry. I know its hard to regulate, but if a person uses a CG against a tank, that's fine, if he uses it against infantry, disqualified.

      Just leave it the way it is imo. If you start getting rid of all these things less people will play.
