| Crysis WarGames (Product Description may change without notice) The next FTW Wars tournament installation where players compete in a series of challenges against a host of other participants. So far, the aim is to have players attempt all the challenges and are given a score by 2-3 spectating Judges if it is a style based event, or a scorekeeper if it is an accuracy event. Players compete in their own time and availability (With a scorekeeper/judges present) as it is a score per event based system, their overall score will determine their place on the ladder and subsequently the overall WarGames Champion. Each challenge will have a maximum score of a 100 points, in the case of 2 or more judges scoring a style based event, they will be able to score out of 100 and the average will be taken as the final score. Challenge Ideas (In no particular Order) - Players Take a car up a ramp, or over a cliff and try to hit a target painted on the ground below, closer to bulls eye is worth more. - Players attempt to lob a grenade into the back of a ute or spawntruck at varying distances. - In a Battle Tank, players attempt to hit a target parked atop a hill at varying distances. - Heli/Vtol aerobatics/Obstacle course - Boat Racing (Course Time) - Car Racing (Course Time) - Players Eject from a Heli/Vtol at various Altitudes/Speeds and try to hit a target painted on the ground. - Gun dropping distance, - Strafe Jumping distance. - C4 packs (10 or so) packed under a car - Height Distance - Bi/Tri/Pentathlon - Using various methods of transport, players must navigate a course - Timed. - Treasure Hunt - Strength mode increased for car punching distances/height - Flip your own tank - Timed - 5 grunts placed at certain positions on a map, always the same so its equal for all players, best time to kill all 5 - A field of say approx 30 Grunts. Mow them all down - Timed (IA may be enabled but the grunts are unarmed so they move and are harder to hit) - direct x 10 race map where you get a ute and you have to load it up with items from specific checkpoints and across finish line and the person with the quickest time wins. Each item in the back receives a time bonus. At the end of a length of time the Games will come to a close and the player with the highest score will become the champion. Players that don't complete all challenges will not be disqualified, however will end up having a lower score and find it harder to get a better ranking. ================================================================================================= REASONS WHY THIS CAN WORK - Each player competes independantly of any other player, therfore the requirement for players to shedule a match isn't required - Its going to be fucking fun - Hopefully what is still current of the Wars community will like some change (As with the success of the Fistycuff Tournament) - Standard Game rules should allow for challenges to be completed. - Even if you lose you would have had plenty of fun REASONS WHY IT MAY FALL OVER - Availability of Scorekeepers/Judges when a player wishes to participate. - Maintaining player Points and reporting outcomes of challenges - Possible Requirement for custom Map - I'm prepared to do some mapping for this. - Not another one Note that this is in the very early stages and if it works out too difficult to manage then probably wont happen. Post your thoughts and ideas and if we all decide to do this then we can start promoting

Each item in the back recieves a time bonus.

| This sounds good mate, i think it'll attract some of the younger crysis community (mostly) generally because i've seen some of these new players and some of the idiots (like pony) doing these kind of things on different maps. It'll take off for shure. |

| I had imagined a large map with sections where each event could take place. I wonder if there is a way to setup a teleport/portal system so players spawn in a 'lobby' area and go to the portal to the particular event area (would save on travelling around such a large map if there are going to be a few events (Some requiring a large surface area).
I am planning to have a crack at some mapping over the weekend so i'll see what i turn up also |

| you could set up a lobby area with triggered events that teleport you to different sections, as a precautionary, you could make them islands so that people get deterred from wandering away. |

| Or you just run powerstruggle mode and have bunkers at each location Who drives cars down hill? We drive fucking boats downhill!!! Still plenty of room on this map for the other activities. Looking good? |

| That would be sick. I haven't done voxels before though. Could give it a go though, not tonight though, i'm done! I reckon it'd be pretty cool for the boat race to start up at the naval factory, do a course down in the water below, then the final stretch is to go back up the hill First back in the pen wins! I'd like to try voxel'ing a tunnel through that down hill slope too, so you go under it. |

| That drop is from 256m down to 25m That's about as high as it gets. Might do something like that for the car race though |

| It works in-game Just need to run it in DX10. Dunno how it goes with client sync yet but we'll have to have a test to see how it goes. |

| Wounded just reminded me that the idea of this was more single-player based, so the demo derby doesn't really fit. Does anybody else wanna have a play around with the map? Happy to upload it if someone wants to add some stuff in there too. |

| shin have you seen the race course with the giant chicken?? its heaps old i think but had some good ideas.
how about a british bulldogs, one player gets a gauss ASV and all the other players are unarmed and have to run around trapped in this big-ass flat arena and the last player standing wins |

| Naturally, like the previous tournament we will do player registration, won't be open until more details are finalised.
I'm pleased with all the positive attention this is getting, looks like it could take off well |

| like the fistycuff tournament, it will run over a period of time.
Players will compete (with a scorekeeper present) to try to achieve the best possible score. this will be recorded and the overall score from the events you participate in will put you in a ranking on a ladder system.
The idea is that there is no direct competition with any other player (although you can compete together) to try to prevent the issues with scheduling a match and not having players turn up. Players can do events as time allows, provided the keeper is present. |
