Singleplayer Tournaments?

mOrg · Post by **mOrg** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 7:55 pm

Well im prolly gonna flamed at for this but here it goes, since no singleplayer tournaments exist atm, im wondering if theres any intrest of making one, surely a 1on1 contest like a regular tournament would be too boring, but what like a "survivor tournament" where lets say 25(or more, just an example) join a deathmatch server that would run timelimit 10 minutes(or more) and the first 5 minutes the 3 players with lowest frags will have to leave the contest, or for the next 5 minutes it will be reduced too 2 players pr. min until finally u have 2 players remaining battling for the "survivor of the year" title..
Any thoughts?

I like the idea of a survivor kind of tournament. but couldn't it be monthly instead? and be played in the same style as aq2turnaus and aq2.cup. First 20 in are the ones who play on the server.

I don't think a regular 1-1 tourney would be boring at all, but the survivor thingy is also quite cool, although I have a dislike of deathmatch.

1on1 in DM would work. Maybe Span could implement something to the code that makes it funnier though. Because 1on1 in TP sux

hey guys, don't ruin this! the whole survivor thing was the cool thing about this. just having a regular half-ass 1on1 tourney would be boring :(

Yeah this survivor thing could be fun, work on it mOrg

.

And yes, as Arild said, it would be nice to see some modifications to make 1on1's in DM mode more fun.
Maybe someone should make some new maps for dueling only?

And if you ask me, something should be done for the weapons system also, i dunno about you, but im finding it abit boring if someone can have for example the only m4 in the map, and just camps somewhere where the bullets for it spawn.

I mean maybe we should get something like it is in Quakeworld DM, and by this i mean that maybe weapons should stay even if someone comes and picks it up.. you get the idea?... So if there would be 5 players playing with this "Deathmatch mode, as they call it in QW", everyone could have that one mp5 lying in some corner on the map, it will not dissappear if someone goes and picks it up.

Or maybe not like this, but something like this.. hell i dont know, it just came on my mind cos' id like to have duels like QW has in AQ2 also

i like that indey's idea. weapons that stay on their place tho you pick it up, could this be done with spawning times or something?

normal dm is boring, for i'm one of those semi-auto users

jazzi: its something completely different that has nothing to do with the survivor tournaments.. so why should it ruin them? they can be held anyway..

and there are of course ppl that like 'normal' 1on1 tourneys.

I prefer normal 1on1.

But both = better
