L4D Tournaments Options

[MonkeyFiend]

There was talk of entering some leagues for L4D, so we need to either commit to this or give up on the league idea.


I've created a TWL team for league matches

You can go and create a user account on

www.teamwarfare.com/

(this account creation takes about 2 minutes of your precious time)

then join the =SM= team by going to:

http://www.teamwarfare.com/viewteam.asp?team=SneakyMonkeys.com

and clicking join.

We'll need 4 good players and a few reserves for this. If more people join then we'll arrange teams afterwards.
Now... I don't particularily want to waste my time setting this up, so if you're interested then sign up if not then just say here.

The L4D cup is EU based, so most of the teams will be EU (in respect of pings)
The L4D matches for the cup appear to be 3 maps picked at random on vs with a straight knockout
The matches also appear to be played around 7pm GMT on Sundays.


SIGNUPS:

I added you so that TWL would accept the team prior to the members signing up.
Removed from active list, down to just me now

Hmm, might be able to do this. Depending on family duties. As long as you have a backup if I cant make it. You will need someone with limited skills alcohol abuse skills low mental capacity and attention to fill my shoes.

I suggest Magik 6

Well the idea is to get a t least more than 4 who can make it, so that if people can't attend there should be cover.

At the moment though interest in this isn't looking great

[Magik5]

imo, from what i gather from conversations etc, is that they're slowly phasing out of l4d...

eh? who are slowly phasing out of L4D?

[Magik6]

The only thing I wanna do on l4d now is expert, the rest is just poor, thanks valve!

[Magik5]

eh? who are slowly phasing out of L4D?

well i havent played with you for a long time, yet ive seen youve been playing a bunch of other games - same with fox.

im personally getting bored with same maps over and over, 6 only plays expert...

plus the fact weve been playing field recently kinda hints to the fact that l4d just isnt the replacement we hoped it would be.

[Magik6]

I don't think it ever was a replacement, it was a substitute which has run its course, what I find really insulting is that I bought the field for about £12 and bought l4d for around £30, but the field gave me much more of a lengthy enjoyment period where as l4d just blows donkey dick too quickly.

Oh and I think you can take crapz and zol off your list, doubt we'll see either of them ever again

[MonkeyFiend]

Personally I'm still playing L4D more than any other game. I suspect people are seeing me playing other games due to steam - prior to steam I was still playing many other games, but not usually online and informing people every time I played e.g. oblivion, portal, fallout3, gtaIV, saints row, mirrors edge, deadspace, mass effect, lotro - the list goes on

Although I've played a couple of games of bf2 recently, it has only reinforced my previous feelings that I 'm hating what bf2 has become:

full of cheats, less and less decent people, more whining and bitching, claymore & nade spam all played on insecure poorly configured servers adminned by retards.

The lack of l4d content is annoying and will hopefully be addressed. My only issue with the L4D style of play is that it basically requires you to invest an hour to play it - most FPS you can come and go without your absence harshly imbalancing the game

[Magik5]

i certainly disagree with 6, l4d is still a great game and is still fun to play, but like you say, the lack of content is a major issue here - doing same maps over and over is a little lame.

i cant see myself playing bf2 like i used to, and agree the game has been destroyed by phail people playing phaily(?).

but to back up my original point, from what ive seen, the enthusiasm has gone from playing the game. its been quite a while since weve had a proper all friends 4v4 versus game at least...

[fido77]

i'll do it, but i thought you said good players.lol. and my ping won't be great, but that hasn't stopped me from playin yet

[MonkeyFiend]

Updated original post

[Lawpf2001]

i think im too crap for it. also cant really commit 8 on sundays.

[MANOWAR33]

good luck in the tournament everyone l4d tournament my bets are on monkeyfiend going all the way

[HYPOBOXER]

Jesus are you lot coming down from something!! L4D is fun and when I have had games with you lot in them its more fun. Damn is everyone giving up on it? BF2 is the nuts and im glad I reinstalled it..but playing it again now is reminding me why i gave up in the first place. Cheating all over the shop and not much variety (plus the fact I cant stay connectted for 5 mins).

I do know what you mean by the fatigue of the familiar but man I still enjoy L4D. I mean how many of you played CS Dust over and over for years. I know I did.
