Project Reality Tournament

Post by **requiem** » 2005-09-20 19:58

As we're always interested in our fans opinion, here is the next idea which may or may not tempt you. Would you like to see a Project Reality tournament? A tournament in this case is meant in the same fashion 21CW or Tour of Duty are built.

Examples:

Very interested, though I think the mod is a release or two away from being ready for such a thing

I agree with you on this point. If we were to begin work on this tournament soon, the expected start date would just about be then (given our goal of creating a user-friendly yet powerful web-interface).

i think this would be a great idea

simply put PR is the most realistic form of BF2, and Tournament Style play is the most realistic way to play Battlefield

after playing in tournaments since shortly after getting BF42 i can say it is by far the best way to play battlefield i now rarely pub because once youve expirienced tournament style play nothing else comes close

i would love for this to happen and if it should i would love to render any help i can, with my numerous campaigns and expirience in this area

i said it could be interesting cause im not much for tournaments but i like to see PR getting to the point where it is used for tourneys

Sounds like a good idea then, let me know if you need server support as we (GD) might be able to assist with one (maybe more?). Also if you are looking for webdesigners/coders for the page I know we have a few with talent, I can't speak for them but I could pass the word around if you are in need.

Also I know you're very busy but could you try to get me a reply on the last email I sent you, I was hoping to get some of the pieces in place by the weekend if possible.

Yes I would under one condition...

As long as it is nothing what so ever like 21CW... in no offense to the owners and it's members but there are a lot of things wrong with that tourney...

If you want to see how a tourney should be run check out ForgottenHonor. That is one of the most kickass tourneys to this date.

http://www.forgottenhonor.com/

In perticular check out how they run the campaigns... it's baised on actuall battles with chapters and such just read some of the news post to get the main jist of it. They make all their custom maps for the tourney to fit to the real life battles.

This would kickass with this mod and it would fit the realism perfectly. With an awesome Iraq Campaign in the same fasion... rather than just doing the usual ordinary trivial through people on some rushed custom maps and everything...

Do it like that and I'd say the tourney would have great potential.

There's no point in doing this. Tournaments like that already exist, let them continue to do their job. If you open another one, all you would be doing is saturating that field more and more. Not only that, but the amount of coorination it involves in building and organizing a torunament of that scale is overwhelming.

this seems interesting really, I myself just wanted to start a ladder/tournament. But if this one turns out ok, I might recommend it.

ive been a member at 21cw a year now and i will be the first to admit that its by no means perfect, but i still enjoy it because of the style of play and the friends iv made there ever since i joined tournaments i almost hardly ever pub because it just doesnt compare

IRT Cav
i dont think thats the case, i think it would be very possible for a tournament based on realism to succed those tournaments are different but which an interesting structure good mapping and solid leadership it could open up and find its own nitch with players who want a realism style gameplay, i think it would be comparable to AA on a larger scale

Beckwith · Post by **Beckwith** » 2005-09-21 20:02

i also think it has to be made very clear for anyone that hasnt heard of 21cw, planet combat, WaW, TW or any of thouse tournaments that these ARE NOT CLAN LADDERS there for individual players, many people who participate are in there own clans seperately, its about a much larger scale of action

simply put once you played in a kick *** 32 v 32 player BATTLE a wimpy liike 8 v 8 or 12 v 12 clan scrim just seems SO boreing in comparison

{GD}Dr_Mucus · Post by **{GD}Dr_Mucus** » 2005-09-21 20:25

If we have enough clans participating is there any reason why we can't have a "doubles" match where two clans played against two other clans?

Beckwith · Post by **Beckwith** » 2005-09-21 20:30

from my talks with req and his feelings that it be set up like 21cw or planet combat, it wont be for clans it will be for players you wont have your clan tags youll have your divisional tags

that being said if joe from ABC clan meets john from DEF clan and they wanna go srim some random tuesday on your own servers or something nobodys gonna care

Post by **requiem** » 2005-09-21 20:35

Usually specialized mods such as ours (realism in this case) don't always attract full clans, so such a tournament would be catering to the following types:

- Players who are not in clans, but wish to take part in an organized way of play.

- Players who are in clans, yet the clan as a whole is not interested or does not have the time to sacrifice to another ladder/league. This player then has an opportunity to keep playing competitively.

Hope this clears it up a little.

Well I don't really care, I would not play in the tournament but if people wanted to have a tournament like this they by all means should.

I'd definitly be up for it, As long as I can make it when it takes place I should be there!!!

StormRavn · Post by **StormRavn** » 2005-09-21 22:53

i have to agree with beck i myself am also a member of 21cw, and yes nothing is perfect however its a breath of fresh air from the norm of vanila bf2 also a place to make excellent friends that are hard core players and down with gettin better and playin harder at the game.

however please dont sit there and preach to the rain sayin 21cw is a waste of time and theres lots of things wrong with it. you can simply say its not for you and leave it at that.. but i can also agree with other posters another tounry would just flood the market with yet another tourney..I can already think of off the top of my head like 10 different tourney style places...

personally i would rather see less talk about tourney style play and more about how is development of this mod comin along? how close to the next release is .2? how close to a final release of the mod are you? ... personaly those are more important things to talk about then weather or not you can have a tourney

Would you like PR to have an Official Tournament?
