Unreal Tournament 3 1v1 Tournament Discussion

i think that you admins shoulndt let urself b bullied by these guys, hwile its ok for you to pick maps for being good its not cool if you pick maps just because thats what a few guys wants

in my opinion shangrilah deck and sentinel are bad 1v1 maps and you can tell by the signle player part of the game. but also when u play online against friends the maps are designed for more people!

if you look at the number of players that the game recommends for those maps its not 2, the maps that would be therefore be best to use for 1v1 are as follows

biohazard - what can i say this is just an amazing 1v1 map. the goo rifles make for the most balanced game play that any ut has ever seen. from the lowliest noob to the "professional" players in this game nobody can argue that this map is the most balanced, the music in it is also AWESOME

fearlesss - FEARLESS! the name says it all! nobody can be scared when they're running aroudn with the single greatest power up in any game ever, the power to be invulnerable! the beauty of it is that during a 1v1 BOTH players will get it and it makes for some fun fun games. this is the second most best 1v1 map in the game for these reasons.

finally this may be a debatable map pick but i think in order for pdx lan to truely own it must be made : HEATRAY!

this map is one of the most creative and well made maps in the whole game! theres a reason that they used it in the demo! not only that but the darkwalker is soooooo awesome its not even funny! it is the ultimate equalizer in the game, you guys can time the powerups, i will time the darkwalker!!!

and there might be one or two guys who disagree with me but ignore them! the majority of the gamers are like me, just check out BeyondUnreal!

I am truely looking forward to this awesome lan!

I'm pretty sure that Stryfe (and a few others) know what they're talking about when they're suggesting maps. Deck has ALWAYS been used for league play; and being the standard that it is, I really can't see it being taken out of rotation in favor of something like Heatray.

this is a lan for fuN!

what makes his suggestions any less right than mine, i am just giving my opinion, which just happens to be the opinion of a MAJORITY of the gamers out there. its not fair to us to use a map that all of those guys u talked about have been palying for almost a DECADE now (deck) and frankly just because they say its competitive doesnt mean that its true

compeition is what you make of it, if i decide the competition in playing basketblal is to play horse, then you can be competitive but if u play in the nba thats not my fault is it? and while maybe a lot more people play horse than play in the freaking nba just because those pepole who are born 8 feet tall or have been playing basketball longer than any of us doesnt mean that our game isnt any less valid!

admins i beg you to hear me! an nba player can play horse and have fun and compete but if a horse player were to play nba he wouldnt have fun, he'd probably hate it in fact.

if this lan is all about fun could you please not make us play maps were only a FEW people can have fun, and instead play maps whre EVERYBODY can have fun but also the people who ARE going for the other maps can also play and have lots of fun! that is what this is about fun!

i frankly think you will draw many more fans with my maps, and i belive that what i represnt the majority of the gamers who arent as vocal!

so please please please no deck, no shang, no sentinel!

dont cave in to pressure from the MINORITY just because they're the loudest!

I thought I would post my opinions here on the comments from above.

First off, no matter what maps chosen, any game is typically 'Fun'. It doesn't matter the map, if you don't know a map, that's nobodies fault but yours.

Secondly, the idea of having the maps not announced until the tournament is kind of frustrating, but it adds a surprise factor to it. As long as the admins know of the GOOD maps, the ones played constantly by a lot of players, then it's really no problem.

Modelz.Habibi` - The maps you listed are ones that are NEVER played in 1v1 match, or any competitive match. You seem to just have different taste.

So what if some players have more experience on other maps then you? That means they have been playing more, and it's also your fault for not playing other maps then your 'favorites'.

There's also no way you represent the 'majority'. No one does, unless that 'majority' labels you as a representative. Sorry.

Also, Deck, Shang, Sentinel, are the most played maps in public servers, and competitive play.

Seriously, the game, Tournament, and LAN, is fun, regardless of the maps chosen.

You want fun? Go play TF2 Melee weapons only, or HL2DM Gravity Gun Only. Yes, that's fun. Competitive? No.

My my my.. so many opinions, sorta makes the old sage true "opinions are like a******s, EVERYbody's got one.

That being said, I have a couple more pertinent operational questions for NOTOES as to playing the tourney. I meant to ask you yesterday in person at set-up, but you left before I had a chance.. vis a vis..

Q1: do we have to have the same name in the tourney character that is our PDXLan handle? (So far I can't generate a profile with my LAN handle.. I'm thinking that it's because I used my name on the BETA/Demo and now it won't let me use it again.. it's happened before)

Q2: I've searched the manual, but I can't find a key for screen capture as required by your rule set. It'll let me record demos but.. that's ridic. heh .. any sugestions for noobs like me, so I can confidently kill 'em all with proof? MUUHAHAhahahahhha...crush kill destroy.. Twisted Evil

Thanks for your input if you have a chance this afternoon.. otherwise, I'll be at your door tonight prior to the game.. THANX!!
