I must say that Team INDIA did really well as a team. We all had fun during the matches. Very fun. INDIA are cool people as well. Thanks you two, for an enjoyable time.

uh, they won ONE game. And, not to reduce their victory, but it was a close match.

Oh yeah, really close. Match went back and forth the whole time. We just happened to come out on top.




ALSO,

Team FLAME SQUIRREL will be available for play tomorrow from 3-8 Bungie time. PM me if you would like to play.

Duard0 = Team Manager
SwordandScales = MVP

:) j/k. I hope I'm able to play tonight, I'm enveloped in SupCom! No, I'll play.

But, yeah, as for Team INDIA. Very good match, and also good attitude. Look forward to playing with you all again and I hope that the remainder of the teams we play are equally professional.

Cool guys. Sounds like a fun game (which is the whole point behind this). I've not played any games but did the settings and map layouts seem ok? I think if we ever get round to Season 2 I'll switch up the maps a little for variety, any suggestions welcome.

I updated the first post with the current standing. I hope to get a few games in when I switch to "nocturnal mode" so me and pez can play with you guys.

The one suggestion I have is to make the frag limit 25 like in regular doubles. As you can see from both of the games we played against INDIA, we never even got that close to 50. I think we had 38 in the game on Snowbound. Either increase the time limit for a game to 50, or return it to 25. Either way, that is the only suggestion I have for you. Your maps are stellar. I was so surprised to find the Rocket Launcher only had two warheads, but at the same time I was very pleased!

Edit #1: As Duard0 (my teammate) said, I think the radar-less-ness and the heavy use of BRs is good as well. However, I guess I do agree with his point on the snipers. There should be one in a different location on Snowbound rather than two. With two snipers, the gameplay moves to the outskirts and it pretty much becomes a random grenade trying to hit the sniper, or having to spend a lot of time working the sniper out of that area. It requires good teamwork, yes, but I think it could be more interesting if there were just one sniper, perhaps where the Ghost once was.

I kind of agree with Snowbound, it was something I indentified but later ignored so as to not confuse the player into being unfamiliar with the map. The consensus of "WTF Why's there no weapons in the bases? Why is there a Sniper in the middle?".

The problem is there's not really anything in the middle of the map to fight over. It's almost "too" balanced. There's no incentive to go out, take control, and give yourself the upper hand, it's just as easy to camp at one side of the map with your set of weapons and the other team comes at you with theirs.

I think placing the Sniper by the Shotgun spawn would be a great idea to force player movement into the centre and dictate some player confrontation. I would choose shotgun spawn over ghost spawn because most people automatically think to go to that area upon spawning. Maybe a camo by Ghost spawn would also be nice so that there's some fighting outside.

As for the 50 kill limit, I think it's fine as is. I really enjoy long, tense games. The kill count isn't changing, but the timer may be decreased if you feel 15 minutes is too long? I would rather the score be at 50 so that the score can shift dramatically. The more points you have to obtain, the more chance there is of the better team coming out on top. You're rewarded for playing consistently for the full duration.
