MorB 4 Comps

This LAN (MorB 4) rather than have a structued Comp I'm thinking of organising a set of server that can be booked an use for Clan wars. The results of these wars will be displayed and recorded for the MorB web site.

The game server would be :

Half Life (with almost all mods)
UT 2003
Operation Flashpoint
SOF2
MOHAA
an any other games ppl organise with me ahead of time.

I will then allow these servers to be book in 2 hour session prior to MorB 4 (as well as at MorB 4).

It will be up to clans or groups of players to book server ahead of time.

This idea is still in the Alpha phase an may or may not go ahead.

My other idea was a biathlon with UT 2003 bombing run and HL:natral selection. Or a triathlon with the above 2 games an Warcraft 3.

Let me know what u think

a sound idea, but just doesn't seem like it'd work to me. Don't know why, I just can't see things happening properly..

does anyone like to play Empire Earth or Age or Empires or any of thoses sort of games in the lan partys? those sort of games i like more than the shoot em ups.

me 2

There's usually some strategy games running at the LANs, but I highly doubt there will be any competitions for them.

Problem with RTS games is that you need everyone ready at one time who wants to play, and it takes hours upon hours for just one game... :(

yes but this is wot we r talkin aboot, we could run a sorta results table up on a group of gamez like some RTS's and stuff...mebbe...wotever, we just provide an openoffice spreadsheet, and record scores of teams/players who won wot... a service for the ppl who want somefin to be recorded and set in stone on the morb webby :D

Sounds good i prefer to play RTS any time ,over the net it's just to slow me and butthead play RTS games over our own home lan all the time but would love to play over a wider network.

so.... u want to go to a big lan so that you can play each other amongst more people?

y not set up the usual cs comp that is compulsory ( and is quick and dont take all night) then have clan wars on a set list of game
like the ones on the 1st post and mix them up with a few strat games ??

i dunno make a poll of who wants 2 play what strat games b 4 morb and stick 2 them

if ppl wanna play other games out side the servers lists then they can host them on their machines and tell the Admins the results

No ****in CS comps... :mad:

cs is what made MorB its tradition i know its old but it is still worth playin

It's time to move on..

i am considering only running a ut2003 comp, last man standing in a 8 player servers playing off...same style as the q3a comp last time..


the other idea i was tryin to explain in drunkin stuper last nite is that we will just basically record results for ppl who play wotever at the lan, if they want

that way it sorta keeps track of who plays wot, so next lan u can work on being better than say "MrX" or somefin like that...add a different edge to the lan imho

cs is what made MorB its tradition i know its old but it is still worth playin

Nobody played CS at all at LAN Of The Damned.

ok ok everyones made it clear that they hate !!! cs
:confused:

spose i can play somfink else

ok ok everyones made it clear that they hate !!! cs
:confused:

spose i can play somfink else

Yes.. Yes you should.

And sks, have you figured out how to run UT servers properly yet? :)

as if i need to work out how to run the servers...

its the same as a ArmyOps server...or somefin...hang on, i cant run aa servers either...EEK!

I seem to recall you spending nearly the whole LAN trying to get it to work. It didn't look like you knew how to run it.

And I was sitting there beside you while you tried it all, and neither of us had a clue, remember? :)

yes yes... i will put my thinkin hat on in the next few days and work it out.. mmk

as much as i'd gonna hate saying this.. is UT2k3 popular enough to warrant a comp? I don't know whether it's just me, but it seems to have died off pretty quick. I think Battlefield would be more appropriate. Just have a huge, all in competition in that. Dunno how you'd work it though. :)

exactly

BF comp would require teams, its a team game so u cannot warrant an individual any single credit without also doin so for their team, UT2k3 is just like a newer version of the q3a comp, so ppl can play it with a lower fps...

i dont want to run heaps of comps and a short every-man-for-himself elimination comp is best for that imho...

whats everyone elses take, apart from beef, he just gunna say "no hl games"...

Hmmm temped to run "team drawn for a hat" games. Where everyone who wants to play just puts there name down an i draw random teams out. That allow us to run huge games with like 10 to 15 A SIDE.

Also we could run an Elimination Comp in CS or DoD. where once a team loses there out. They have the advantage that as the night progrsses there are more ppl to play other games.

If there is enough interest I can run up a comp pretty fast. but only if there is interest otherwise I won't bother

wellll it don matter much but like most ppl we'll play wot ever and will probly host our own game and have fun any way.

thats what morb is 4 right :)

Also we could run an Elimination Comp in CS or DoD. where once a team loses there out. They have the advantage that as the night progrsses there are more ppl to play other games.


The only problem with that is that you've really gotta work well together, or you might get kicked out cos one player sucks.

I like the out of a hat idea though for a big game, but like we've said it's not much good for competition, unless you've got 15 prizes to give out. :)

As for the UT2K3 idea, I'm not totally against it, I'd love it, I'm just trying to think of all the other people who's machines don't run it too well.

well, lets see what other deatch match options we have, how about some suggestions?

theres ut2003, or the ol' ut, q3a, hl dm, sof2/sof

any others?

other option as BL suggested, might be to have a focus game of say bf1942 where we put all names in, choose 2 leaders, and let them pick players... like the way we used to in british bulldogs back in school...
and a prize(s) awarded to best team player or somefin

other ideas any1 ?

My opinions (not personal, just what I think would work):

UT2k3 - Didn't really live up to the hype. Could be done, but a few people would be left out due to system specs.

Q3A - Used to be a hit, never got into it myself, but could be done.

HL DM - As above I guess. Everyone (except me) seems to have HL already, so they should all know it fairly well.

SoF2 - Aside from the actual Elimination game type (makes it easier), there's not that many people into it, is there? I'd love it to be a comp, but I don't know how well it would go.

other option as BL suggested, might be to have a focus game of say bf1942 where we put all names in, choose 2 leaders, and let them pick players... like the way we used to in british bulldogs back in school...
and a prize(s) awarded to best team player or somefin


Could have a 7 round game, where the person with the most stars / medals is the winner (gold worth 3, silver 2, bronze 1 or something, most points wins). As for 2 leaders pickin players, skip that idea. Most people at LANs don't know others well enough to know who everyone is and how well they play. Just draw teams randomly. Makes it interesting to see good friends on opposite teams.

Just my $0.04.

a sound idea my beefman - only thing is, bf1942 seems to hit PC's just as hard as UT does imo, so we may be back to the same problem if that is what would stop a UT2k3 comp running...

solution = run both!!

3 maps of all-in BF1942 action, fun for all, have an MVP prize and/or most stars/points or somefin, teams will be picked from hat based on who wants to play (i know how to run a bf1942 server too :P)

and 1st +2nd from ut2k3 instagibbage

what we think of that? i wouldnt think such comps would take up too much time, i know BF1942 can be a lengthy game, but 3 maps would equate to a maximum game time of aroun 2-2.5 hours depending on "whine-time" between maps

/me thinks its poll time...

I say we run a heaps of little comps an give prizes away at random to players who participated. Use the comps an prizes as a way of getting everyone to play the 1 game.

That way we can run comps an they will require **** all organisation. U just put up ur hand an we place u in the team.

Teams drawn from random cause it dosent matter who wins as long as ppl get a good game. Then we allocate a prize by random.


If clans would like a "Clan War" we just allocated some server time for them an let them organise it.

I like your thinking sks.

Now that I think about it, you wouldn't even need to allocate people to teams in BF. If you're going by a points system per player, then it doesn't matter which team they are on, as long as the teams are even(ish). then again, it would probably be better to specify to stop people going and playing on the one team.

BL, Sks's plan doesn't really involve any organisation either. There's no round robin to organise, the UT comp is basically a frag count. Running a lot of smaller ones would create more hassle, because people that wanted to play in different comps would have to know when they are on, and hope they aren't played while they are away / playing something else. With just a BF / UT comp, you could state AT THE VERY START that the BF comp will be run at 5pm, and the UT comp at 10pm. Anything else is free time, whether it be for grudge matches on other games, a little RTSing or what-have-you...

well, lets see what other deatch match options we have, how about some suggestions?

theres ut2003, or the ol' ut, q3a, hl dm, sof2/sof

MOHAA

now mohaa, what can i say, thats a team game that should never ever have had a deathmatch option in it..

I really do like the Idea about the Bf1942 comp but the game does have a few serious inconsistancys for exaple the BAR can out snipe a sniper rifle (WHAT THE???) and nades that will destroy tanks aside from that is is a hell of a lot of fun.

and i second the motion of a MOHAA comp but it should be played as either a round based match (for those who dont know that playes like CD in the way that you only live once every round) and/or objective match,

and just for the hell of it i think there should be a 32 player bash up Omaha Beach it is great fun.

They had to make tanks vulnerable to something in BF, otherwise people in tanks would be nigh on invincible. As for the sniper, I seem to have better luck with the sniper rifle than the BAR in terms of accuracy. Although if you spray and pray with the BAR it probably is more lethal.

I was enjoying MOH:AA whatever style we were playing it at the last LAN (Objective I think). That is always an option. But again it boils down to how / who do you give prizes to? BF scores nicer because people who cap flags get points as well as those who kill lots (Dunno how MoH:AA does it... :( )

What and how many clans are there?

Very interested in BF war and MOHAA as well, that idea for omaha beach would be fun for a while.0 Although i have found in the past that it is highly frustrating on players, but then I guess most games are at some point.

Omaha frustrating? That's an understatement. :)

Sif MohAA or BF1942

NATURAL SELECTION OWNS ALL

Omaha frustrating? That's an understatement. :)

Only if you're attacking like we were at LANOTD, if you're defending it's pretty cool.

Do people even want any comps ?????? or do we just scedual certain games at certain times ???

Only if you're attacking like we were at LANOTD, if you're defending it's pretty cool.

I was on defense, and half the time I was running down to the beach. Pissed a lot of people off doing that. Shotguns in the back while they ran up.


As for comps, I feel that a MorB needs something. Even if it's just small. Just get a really really big door prize. :)

Or perhaps a stripper, that'd boost attendance. She could leap outta a big paper mache computer case..........

hey yeah, good idea, we could get DeltA's mum to do it...

she did it well last time...

without saying that we have 2 play CS u have 2 remember that some ppl's machines wont run MOHAA or BF 1942 or UT2003 what other games could we play ???

that said i like the idea the beef man suggested that the comps be a frag count rather than round robin.
with that idea a prize could go 2 the over all champ on all the games and then add up all the frags from ppl in the same clan on all the games and give a prize to the winning clan

without saying that we have 2 play CS u have 2 remember that some ppl's machines wont run MOHAA or BF 1942 or UT2003 what other games could we play ???


So because some people are lacking, everyone else has to suffer? And I do mean suffer.. I wouldn't inflict CS on anyone.

I'm only gonna say this once.

I DON'T WANT TO RUN COUNTERSTRIKE.

The game is LAME BORING AN JUST SUCKS.

If we run HL based game i will run Day of deafeat an Natural Selection because what these games lack in grpahics they make up for in there gameplay.

If u want to play CS there is nothing stopping you from hosting ur own server.

(or u can suck skull's cawk an mabey He'll run one up)

Wow.. finally someone agrees with me. :)

to be honest tho, UT or (to lesser extent) BF1942 can be run on some of the crappiest PCs, might not run as well as it does on mine, but if you are at or above that base level of a geforce 256 / gf2mx200 there shouldnt be a problem. i know my webserver can run UT2003...so no-one has an excuse :D

dont get ur panties in a twist what i ment is that morb is gunna b boaring 4 those ppl that cant run BF, mohaa, ut

to be honest i dont care if u run cs or NOT i can host a game and probly will. my machine will run all those games ne way

did you even read sks's post?

I say away with the comps and just give away an assortment of prizes based on a random draw of say a seat number, or like the macromedia style, stick tickets under some or all of the seats or tables and if u have a ticked or the ticket number called, u get a prize :)

and if u wanna play cs, there's nothing stopping you playing it, and the other foolish addicts that will want to play it too for that fact, but I know i'll be playing BF1942, ut and perhaps mohaa (why did I buy this game :(), but this time unless my clan is challenged, CS can stay the fark away!

nb - I may play some dod or ns, but that's it HL mod-a-wise

You guys seem to have got urself into a bit of a confuddle while i've not been here.... Hmmmmm.....

:DCS IS THE DEVIL!:D

i say lets just play for the love of playing and just get this thing going:D

btw sks u homo... my mum is NA for that weekend ne wayz.

what, busy with a customer ALL weekend?

you're gonna be fsckin rich dude!

woohoo now you can buy a roof!

LMAO, what the??

When did damo have chello???

or did he sell his roof to get adsl?

bwahaha hex/thoric... the roof tirade lives one

i wouldnt mind some MOHAA spearhead multiplayer can do team based objectives now, plus you can bash ****s with ur rifle which is fun

well i think im set to do a UT2003 short comp..

as for a team-based one, we'll see, otherwise, it might just be a race, first one to pick up the mysterious box gets the prize...

hehehe.. lemme at em.. Does picking people up and throwing them away get me disqualified?

after watching nuke get 0wnZed by A n t i in MOHAA spearhead I think there would be no problem issueing a challenge to 0wnZ vs Shadowman + A n t i ( f x )......sifnt that wouldnt be an easy war to win........:D

and all comps are good as long as u have nuff peepz in em otherwise its lame playing the same peepz u play with small lanz

[CMDRNuke]

hahahahaha you wernt even here when anti beat me and the score was 98 to 100 his way so he didnt own me it was a very close game and i was winning till i got to 70 or somthin like that then it went form me to him to me to him, 0wnZ vs you and anti?! anti is good ill admit that but you man!! ahhahaha you play that as bad as you play dod which sucks arse i know next time ill beat anti but its all fun and it was a very very good game, and were havin a ramatch too should be sweet..... shadow you suck at MOHAA SP :D

now for my 2 cents (please excuse the drunken rambling!)

why not run a comp that doesnt need to use the rules or gameplay type of a game... for example, the bf1942 clan that im in are proposing a battlefield olympics, where competitors compete in events that are completely "off the wall" and have no "propper" use of the particular game play at all. (all the following events are for use with bf1942 but could probably be ported to other games)...

jeep races, a "triathlon", dogfighting, tank vs tank, pistol dueling, jeep jumping (team event... see North Brigade Owned Stunt video).... etc

the good thing with competitions is your not fixed into playing the games "as they are meant to be played". plus by having events that arent "usual" it gives the less skilled players more of a chance, plus making it a whole lot more fun for all that compete, instead of having the same old boring deathmatch/team battle where the people who spend all their time playing games 24/7 are rewarded just because they know every square inch of every level in every game ever made!!!!

now that, that... that is a damn good idea!!

jeep races, i love it!

even better, jeep destruction derby...

anyone know how to make a map in bf1942 ?

if not then opflash you could do same thing

I'd actually like to see plane wars in BF. :) I can't pilot one for ****, but it'd be fun.

yeah dogfights, hehe, again, that could also be done in opflash, or a flight sim (who cbf goin to that extent!)

ive read up heaps on bf1942 map editing and it seems pretty simple. the maps are just made up of a greyscale heightmap, with different shades of grey representing different heights, kind of like a real map. havnt tried creating a map from scratch but ive made a few minor tweaks to some of the maps.

oh yeah, and vehicles/objects are just added using x,y,z co-ordinates. so basically if you have adobe photoshop and a good text editor you can make a map for bf1942... simple

I'd actually like to see plane wars in BF. :) I can't pilot one for ****, but it'd be fun.
You can say that again man, you let yourself get shot down at the LANOTD by me of all people. Oh the shame.....

OFP has motocross racing nuff said

OFP sucks hairy dogs balls.. :)

OFP is tht ****e what the hell you on about, it pisses me of to see al these n00bs goin on about what a great game BF is and never even heard of ofp or they think its crap cause the graphics aint **** hot the ai in flashpoint is 90 times smarter then bf ai could ever be..... lol anyway

yea go the dog fightin id definatly be in for that, i hope there will be some good competition though :D

plus me and silencer can do some pretty **** hot stuff in the way of stunts

and sks version 1.2 was meant to include a map editor but it never happened, its possible to build a map for comp by making units spawn in certain locations on the map to do that you goto extract the maps in .rfa i got an rfa extractor but i cant get it to work. from what ive seen it would be pretty simple once you get the rfa extracted its just a matter of puttin in what vehicle you want to spawn and map co ord it woul take a little bit to get map co ord right but you could just use other vehicles on the map as reference points.

then you could make a line of jeeps spawn ready for racin

OFP is tht ****e what the hell you on about, it pisses me of to see al these n00bs goin on about what a great game BF is and never even heard of ofp or they think its crap cause the graphics aint **** hot the ai in flashpoint is 90 times smarter then bf ai could ever be..... lol anyway


a) I am not a n00b
b) I have heard of, and played in depth, OFP
c) Graphics are definitely not everything
d) Who said anything about AI? To which I might add that OFP AI is a little better than BF. Not by much though.

I just didn't like OFP. For the same reason I didn't like Quake 3. Because it just didn't grab my attention. I gave OFP a good go too, but... i dunno. it wasn't fun to me. I liked Ghost Recon, I like BF1942. So it's nothing along those lines. Tis just me. I even prefer Codename Eagle over OFP. :) Now that's a big call.

hey i prefer CNE over DoD, BF1942, and OFP combined. CNE pwnz!

CNE being...?

code name eagle, but ofp has definatly gotta be the most realistic millitary game ive ever played, except for the bus but what game doesnt have bugs, i dont really like CNE ..it just doesnt grab me buy the nuts and say daaaaaaam this is good gameplay

/me makes mental note to grab nuke by tha nuts and say "daaam CNE has good gameplay"

:p

/me will assist Sks.. with great force.. :D

woa so morb 4 is gunna be like that ayyyy ;)

/me will be waitin with legs around head
HAZAAAARRR!!

lmao. I'll bring the ball-crushers and the gaffa tape.

on that note ur not invited phil

Hey i just had the best idea lets get a stripper for morb 4 sif that wont get u over 80 sKs

Aw, c'mon Nuke, it'll be fun! :D Not for you maybe, but it be entertaining for others.
Torturing Nuke and watching a stripper, that would make the entry fee worth it alone.

Hey the stripper was my idea if any one gets Torturing its shadowman, and if anyone comes near me intending on grabin my gear theyd better be a chick otherwise ill get 10 to 20, i know this chick too shes cheap her name is jake she does a wicked number im sure people of phils type will enjoy

If "her" name is "Jake" then I'm sure she is very cheap. :p
As for torturing Shadowman I was gunna do that too anyway.

I think we're getting a little off the thread here...

Actually I suggested the stripper several pages back Nuke

Guys, can we get this back on topic? If you wanna start crappin on, go to the lounge.

ehemm (partly my fault)


anyhoo, M4 comp, how bout UT2k3? goodo, done

Said it before, will say again. Nice enough game, but does it have the numbers? Couldn't hurt though.

ut is gay you should leave it out or morb 4 all together, if were gunna play a pointless game were you just jump and shoot why not keep playin quake... at least people are used to playin that, besides shadow man is into ut and he think he's top ****, so i dont think we should take the chance to let him win a game after all it is shadowman and we'll never heard the end of it

Obviously not a fan of the game. Is it just me, or does Nuke's opinion mean less and less every day? :)

Actually, I've found the Bombing Run mode to be a hell of a lot of fun, when played with people that actually know how to play...

The thing is that sKuLLsHoT has to allow for the tastes of a wide variety of different players. So just because you don't like UT Nuke doesn't mean there aren't a heap of people who do. Just as some dislike MOHAA or DoD. He cannot discount any of these games because they still have a large following.

claw.... chsudup there a heap of games that go unoticed
and is it just me or does beefy end up suckin more and more hole everyday

did this Post work?????????

ok it worked ....

firstly ......yes I am the master of UT....Let the words echo through the halls of carnage"I am Unbeatable"...

good that siad.....no Cycophil u aint torturing the shadsta...

and beefy "Is it just me, or does Nuke's opinion mean less and less every day? "

saying little comments like that and then saying...
"Guys, can we get this back on topic? If you wanna start crappin on, go to the lounge."


is kinda contradictive...Im not looking to get a ban but can u practice what u preach..as far as Ut goes I am god and until u beat me....god I shall remain...besides we never actual got a real server going for UT2003 did we???


I got me a server .cfg if u need...and hell ill even run it.....120 players ....no prob....my systems got the balls..



ps: I am may be speaking the truth....I may not..but UT r0xs

my pants hurt

Actually, I've found the Bombing Run mode to be a hell of a lot of fun, when played with people that actually know how to play...

Agreed. I was almost going to remove UT2k3 cause it just didn't seem worth it. Played a couple of Bombing runs just against bots and decided it was different/interesting enough to keep.
If we play this at Morb4 it should be bombing run comps cause the rest of the game is just like any other shooter but with exessive graphics to suck those resources.

claw.... chsudup there a heap of games that go unoticed
and is it just me or does beefy end up suckin more and more hole everyday
What's a chsudup??? And if there are games which go unnoticed and you want them introduced then tell us about them. Which games would you like to see?

anyone ever heard of conflict desert storm? i just got it, it's pretty good gameplay and multiplayr games would be pretty sweet. and i wouldnt mind some EE

Shadow, don't worry, I ain't gonna ban anyone in a hurry. I'd say the admins / mods are pretty lenient in most threads. You can get away with anything around here. Plus it doesn't hurt to let a few non-topical posts go through. But when people (not me) ask for the thread to get back on topic, and others keep going, then it starts to sound like it is a thread for the Lounge. A lot of people don't wanna read through idle chatter out in these threads, they just want the important stuff. And it had gotten well beyond important.

Added to the fact that what you quoted me saying was only part of a post, which still had some topical point to it. That line was refering to Nuke's obvious dislike for a game, so it was my somewhat lame attempt to show my feelings.

But this isn't the place for all this. If you want, I'll move all this to another thread and we can talk there. If you disagree with anything I said, feel free to let me know...

What ?

because UT is such a good game I have been making some maps for it has anyone else delved into the time consuming art of Map making?..maybe a m0d contest at m0rb 4 where u can cover not only the skill peepz have in gameplay but outside the game for m0dz(not neccasarily maps) and such..and it dosnt have to be just for UT2003 either could be for anygame(just not HL based;))

BURHA will smack j00 down !
:D

edit: dont smap up in this thread

It's hard to believe all this anti-CS tripe! THere are many great games (eg. Blizzard stuff) but CS never gets old. As long there is a good map cylce, friendly-fire is on and mapvoting for all is enabled.

BTW, will there be enough extension leads, power boards, and cat2 cables? Is there air conditioning in the venue? because if we get a hot day there will be a lot of computer's crashing otherwise. a room full of computers and people generates a lot of h347.

anyway ::pe3Ce out dud3s::

whoa.. using cat2 at a LAN would be fun!

it didn't get that hot in there last time and there was AMPLE power.

if u didn't know. it's a brauer college's anderson theater. which is the UBER hall in warrnambool, perfect air con, heating, all whole lot.

Venue is a+ . I ain't never seen a better Lanning venue

AirCon
3 phase
nice chairs an tables supplied.
easy to drop ya PC right at the door
no worries about nosie an crap.

The only way to improve it would be to add a bar.

by bar u mean a big steel pole? coz i know wot u mean, no lan is complete without an arbitrary steel pole..

only thing we tight on this time round (gear-wise) is switching, its all well catered but it is less than what we had hoped for, none-the-less it will suffice for the 80 ppl that will require it..

yes!!! a bar for the stripper that way we can see all the fruits on many of choice passes.. and a bar with some heavy tap never hurt no one

yessss well
