EDIT: signup thread posted here.

 

Greetings, chaps and chappets. It's about time to start preparing for HAWKEN TRY-WEEKLY 2

 

Every third Saturday of the month, I'll be hosting a tournament using the sexy new private servers.

 

This month, I'd like to use some of the private server features to change up gameplay.  It's entirely experimental, but I think it could be a lot of fun.  

 

 

What does everyone think about the following for HTW2?  

 

Rules:

  • No Radar
  • Friendly-fire enabled.  
  • Double elimination.  If you lose one set, you're put into a loser's bracket.  If you lose two sets, you're out completely.  
  • TDM on the following maps:

    Wreckage, Uptown, Bunker, Facility, Origin, and Prosk.  Last Eco and Frontline are barred because of their size.  

  • No more than one of the same class.  You can have all C's, all B's, or all A's, provided that you don't stack more than one of the same class.  

  • No team-swapping.  All players are locked in.  

  • Classes are not locked for this tournament, but the restrictions are enforced for the duration of a match.  You may switch classes/sizes during a match, but only if there are never 2 mechs of the same class in play at any time.  If you spawn and violate mech restrictions, you'll be forced to commit suicide and net the other team a point.  

  • No banned items or internals.  

  • No exploitative suicides.  i.e. healing to full health and then killing yourself to replenish items (committing pilot error and preventing the enemy team from getting a kill).  Any instance of dying will count as a point for the enemy team, excluding bugs or other errors.  

 

Post and let me know!  I'll probably start signups this week.

Radar is for scrubs! Not sure how I feel about Friendly-fire though. I can just picture some raider yolodiving my face and having my team crowd around me too afraid to jump in as if it's some middle school brawl on the playground.

Srsly dough, I think if you kill your teammate you get the kill instead of the opposing team. I haven't tested it enough to know how it works.

Admittedly I have limited experience with friendly fire games, but IMO if it is included it should be at a multiplier of 0.5 or so. That makes it high enough to warrant consideration without being flat out frustrating for AOE heavy mechs.

Really solid idea, not sure if .5 is the magic number but I totally agree with the thinking

I'd like it if it wasn't a tournament or competitive match.  Mostly that's about the schedule and my inability to ever know when I can play a video game.  What'd be great is if you just put up the server with those rules in place and let us play them whenever.

I don't understand why you would eliminate core game functions.

Because they're bad.  Also, will definitely want to check on the kill reporting re: friendly fire.  May want to stick with only no radar for the time being.

Y not - just 4 the sake of variety. IMHO adding friendly fire would convert those spam-my-weapons-all-the-way-guys in2 much more cautious mates, and make perfect positioning an absolute must. Also much more guys wouldn't jump in2 his mates FOV so blindly, catching all them TOWs/grenades with their backs. Whole gameplay is totally changed 4 sure by just adding FF and only time will tell, if it feels betta than "safe-mode", but if no1 dares 2 try out, and test xcessively we'll neva know. I also like the idea of class-limitations. I give it a thumbs up 4 any suggestion, because that's a good way the game can progress.

Is the competitive play "G2 Exception "  in effect?  The one that allows any number of G2 Assaults or G2R.

Come on Crafty, you have been officially called out on your lies. Your online reputation is at stake here, this is just like an old school street race running for pink slips. Its run what you brung and hope its enough. Put up or shut the fuzzy bunny up.

No more than one of the same class.  You can have all C's, all B's, or all A's, provided that you don't stack more than one of the same class.  

 

I propose we maintain the G2 exception for this tournament.

 

EDIT: Poopslinger is faster than me.

By the way, I love the idea of Friendly Fire.  50%, 100%, whatever... nice that it's adjustable.  I just far prefer the idea of thinking about my team - where they are, what they're doing. - and them having to think about me.  Especially like the idea of launching some rockets and nades up the butts of these jerkoffs who constantly jump in front of me to cockblock me and steal my kills.

 

Friendly fire promotes and builds teamwork.

I've been waiting for a ''hardcore'' mode which implies no radar and FF. Won't be able to play though...

Wish there was in-game Viop and video holograms shown on our dashboard|hud of players using their webcams, could be so funny and immersive as in using ''technology'' from a futuristic world from working together to insulting your opponent (manga|anime drama à la gundam|zone of the enders...) haha

All running no radar without scanner banned is going to do is force everyone to run scanner. Strongly disagree with FF on.

I'm pretty sure disabling the radar makes scanner useless.

You don't have a radar to see what the scanner picks up so its pretty useless. lol

I thought there was a setting that just turned off red dots on boosting and stuff like that, I wasn't aware you could disable the radar entirely.

Isn't there a setting to disable orb drop on death? We should give that a go too, if I'm correct. It Would prevent rofldeathball wipes and make the gameplay moar MLG.

I think having friendly fire on would be a great idea. Will definitely add more caution to the execution of a timed attack. I say do it!
