TVG Gears Of War Tournament

[N1CKD]

I was thinking of starting one of these, anyone willing? We could do like a first to 15, and have the losing and winning team both vote someone off until the final round where the last two go head to head

[Hybrid]

Yep, I'm in. Getting owned by people you don't know sucks plus friendly fire

[N1CKD]

Cool, anyone else? If we could make this official, we could have a TVGP prize amount or something

[sum182oftheyear]

I'd partake in this, though I haven't played in like 2 weeks.

[FILTHY J NASTY]

Once my Gow copy arrives, ill join in!

[N1CKD]

Cool, we need more entries!

[FILTHY J NASTY]

The only thing is, when you get booted out,is there a spectater mod? cuz it would be dumb to loose and not know what happend in the match?

[Pdog1]

If this is done, IMO it can NOT be done as you stated, this game is EXTREMELY team based and would be horrible if you based the results on a 1v1 game...

[sum182oftheyear]

Just don't get pdog and I on the same team, we're so good together it's crazy.

[Pdog1]

^^ *eyes shift* nuh uh

[vtec236]

I'm in count me in for Two TBgix played with him last night but he is my right hand man.
vtec236 & I Number 2 I = YOU SPECTATE!!! :-)

[RWW3]

I'm in. <letter count>

[N1CKD]

Awesome. thanks for the entries guys! BTW I just found a dead guy on a toilet hidden in the game with the help of a youtube vid....If you want to see it send me an invite and I'll set up a player match and show you.

Sum128 friendly fires lol

[Pdog1]

Sum128 friendly fires lol

No he doesn't, you lie!

[Lethal]

Im down but I suck

[sum182oftheyear]

Only when I'm bored and host, and I get the entire team to, I'm that great, I also like killing myself when I'm the last one left on my team. Hmm, I haven't yet played on these new maps.

[TBGixxer]

I'm down, depending on the time.

[GVTTW]

I will join. My headset isn't currently working so I can't communicate, but yeah I will still play. It sounds like fun. I will most likely suck though.

[steveie]

im in GMT+00 for me so dont know about time

[AliBB]

ill play :)

[vamosrafa]

Im in! Make sure u add me ;)

[-CJJB-]

Same here i'll join in

[Krayzie]

I'm IN!!!

Definately.

[N1CKD]

Ok guys, this is more active than I thought, we may just have to have 2 and have the two winners play each other. Any mods have suggestions?

[Hybrid]

There will be more boxes but here's my idea

[N1CKD]

Looks good. When do you guys wanna do this?

[Hybrid]

I can do it mostly anytime on weekends and holidays and/or after 6pm on weekdays

[vtec236]

I think you should re think the 2 on 2 this is hard to do, if i am wrong then what is the format we will be following? i think we should do a poll but my vote would be for teams of 4 since we have a good turn out. this can be a random team set by mods

[-CJJB-]

during the weekend during the evening or night is good for me.

[Hybrid]

Nevermind, just exchanged it for a new one at Best Buy and got a free game and controller :lol:

[vtec236]

whats the word on this?

[N1CKD]

Anyone got a specific time and date?

[FILTHY J NASTY]

MADDD SWEET! Just got my real copy of gow, i suck but im ready to play, maybe we should have a team tournament!

[vtec236]

I think team tourneys are best let's do it this week before demergance day! 1/19/07 when i stop playing gears until they make names visable when searching for servers

[Hybrid]

Gears of War has some **** annoying online problems. It always says connection lost

[vtec236]

That is another reason to boycott the game, make them fix what they screwed up. This game rocked before the g A y A$$ update!

[tumtum]

I'm so so in GOW but, i'm up for it!!

[sum182oftheyear]

I'm losing interest in it, I'm playing COD3 a hell of a lot more now.

[TBGixxer]

COD3 war mode is awesome!

[Pdog1]

Vtec 1st post, what is demergence day?!?!?

CTRL Freak, your internet sucks, I've never gotten that since the new update, except when the room is full, have you tried joining less full rooms and making sure your NAT isn't strict?

Vtec 2nd post, the only thing that is worse is the lack of ranked host names, its not that bad anyway, I still get teams of 4 friends in ranked all the time, you just need to figure out how.

[TBGixxer]

I never get that error since I learned a trick. When it finds a room and it has 7 people in it I hit the refresh button to move on to the next, less filled room. If the room has 6 or less people when I join it never gives me that message.

[Lethal]

Wait are you saying there arent anymore ranked games?

[vtec236]

they have ranked but you cannot see your friends anymore

[Pdog1]

Ha screw that, I would prefer the ranked thing be fixed but, I'm not going to stop playing because of it lol plus I HIGHLY doubt MS is going to notice/care about a few people boycotting the game... You already bought it, why should they care if you play it lol

[vtec236]

We are not worried about M$ it is epic and we have about 100k+ people that have signed this one and many more like it. I really don't care that i bought it, but if epic wants to continue GOW2 then they need to listen to their players. They say it is to stop team stacking, but like you said if you are willing to hunt for your friends you can find them. i know how to find friends but it makes me mad that now i have to join a room, see if it is my friends or if it's not then jump out and search again. this would be so nice to play with people who know what a team based game means. this is the first step towards halo 2 SU CK A$$ so many people play halo with a run and gun f your team attitude and it gets real old.

[TBGixxer]

ha ha ha! That is way overboard... I hope it works out for you all but I can't see even 100k people (which I bet will not all follow through w/ their pledge) affecting a community of 4+ million.

[-CJJB-]
