    Like I said before, it would be class to have a boards gamebattles (or any competitive) team

    You wouldn't believe how hard it is to organise people on here :P Sure the xbox wager match comp didn't even play the final (that I was in :( ) because people ran out of live or could only get on one day of the week and other stuff...

    I guess that's because most people on here are in school or college. Maybe we could organize a GB team in the summer when people have more time? :)

    Summer is ridiculous, I don't even want to contemplate the hours that some of us *cough*PerrinV2*cough* stayed up until playing MW2 last summer.

    Lads, if any of you's are interested in trying your hand at competitive gaming do take Tom up on his offer. He might be a Chelsea supporter :D but he's a very good COD player in both pub and comp level, likewise the team he runs.

    Or you can offer him a scrim (practice) match sometime, that goes for both IRL (I'm sure you're reading this) and BRDS clan/groups.

    As I always say, it's one thing to be good in public matches. But to replicate that on a fair, balanced, organised and vs higher level opponents is a whole another thing.

    Of course some of us would read this, we are all CoD players and this is the CoD forum.

    Lose the condescending tone in your posts towards members of other clans El Loco or I will be forced to give you a one week ban.

    The theory of evolution is a naturalistic theory of the history of life on earth (this refers to the theory of evolution which employs methodological naturalism and is taught in schools and universities). Merriam-Webster's dictionary gives the following definition of evolution: "a theory that the various types of animals and plants have their origin in other preexisting types and that the distinguishable differences are due to modifications in successive generations..."

    The best Black ops players take the game for what it is. They dont cry about guns/perks but instead learn to adapt to beat the game and still rule the roost. In essence they evolve and to take a leaf from Charles Darwin - natural selection will prevail and the stronger players will rise to the top. similar to the Lion remaining top of the food chain

    Weaker players are the victims of evolution. They cry and whinge that life is unfair (game is unbalanced) so they die out (trade in the game). those that dont die out are forced to make adaptations to survive. Requesting that only certain guns/perks are used is similar to an ancient lizard evolving to a snake. The poor lizard was getting whipped daily. Unhappy with how life was (how Blops was made originally) he evolved into a snake so he may have a chance to compete with the stronger animals. Basically he changed the rules of the game so he wouldnt be whipped like a little bitch fish

    You dont like competative gaming/rules fair enoug}{ but to give an example like above is eit}{er trolling or sour grapes .

    Only saw that piece on Evolution from Shammy's quote as I ignore that user. Not replying to them meerly pointing out some flaws that others might believe as truths.

    All the creatures mentioned have been around for hundreds of millions of years, each filling a particular niche within a certain enviroment. If they didn't something else would fill that niche. Snakes, lizards and fish all can coexist in the same habitat. Some may predate on others but that just means that any predators survival is dependant on a "lesser" creature. The saber tooth tiger died out because it was too specialised and when changes in it's environment occurred it wasn't able to adapt.

    If an apocalypse came and only dogs were left. Which type or breed would dominate; the handbag dogs, the bow legged hip displacing dogs with skulls too small that causes seizures or the mutts survive? I think we all know the answer, you need only see that wild dogs are the most prolific predator in terms of hunt percentage success in Africa.

    A better guage of evolutionary success is looking at what has lasted the longest or how prolific a species is, not what is top of the food chain. Hyenas and Lions are apex predators and depending on how bright the moon is will tip the balance in favour of one over another. Yet humans with only our brain have developed tools to displace them. An small to average sized ant colony has more neurons than a human brain so as soon as there is an xbox/ps3/wii controller suitable for insects we're all doomed and have to adapt to mice and keyboard or face extinction.

    This video is the natural equivalent of stealing an opponents care package.

    Actually had a few games of black ops last night after a bit of a break and it was fun.:D

    IRL clan are so defensive, Would swear someone was trying to take away their self proclaimed title of best HCTF clan in the world :D.

    Was playing until 3am last night aswell and finished the night off with a few wager matchs as normal.

    I had won 4 in a row in Sticks and Stones, so they went all out to stop me making it 5.

    I was in first place and they all came out of the woodwork to tomohawk me.

    I am not being defensive at all, just dont like the way this forum is moderated and the way its not really open to other clans and it has a kinda click to it.

    Me personally I wouldnt consider us the best HCCTF clan in the world. Infact 4 of us got our asses handed to us by a american clan with 6 last night. They spawn trapped the entire match with grenade launchers. Not complaining about the tactic, it was our problem for not being able to deal with it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,152 ✭✭✭✭KERSPLAT!


    It's rough being on the otherside of a spawn trap, doesn't happen often but when it does it seriously pisses ya off! Joined a boards match last week on WMD for lulz, demolition I think, went about 8/10-40 and I only played 1 round! Completely trapped, anytime I managed to get a run I was taken out by one of the many hinds or dogs :/ suffice to say I won't be doin it again in a hurry :D

    those private matches are great craic - its so much better than stomping on Noobs. On friday I think I got a long distance head shot on your camping ass through the window on cracked :P Just about to celebrate to the sweet sound of a ping when my internet logged off - bandwidth used for the month :mad:

    Pity it doesnt have dog tags like BFBC2 - Party chat gets turned down Game sound goes waaaaay up :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,401 ✭✭✭Royal Irish


    These american guys from last night were the type of clan that memorise all the spawn points and as soon as you spawn they are prone in a bush with a grenade launcher.

    I dont see how you weren't being defensive... ade was simply asking if anyone wanted to a scrim to msg his mate..... Don't see how you can take what he said as condescending since this IS the boards clan thread (More or less) while the IRL is over on the xbox thread.

    You guys just seem to have a chip on your shoulders for whatever reason, its pretty clear to see for any neutral on this forum.

    And i know you aren't the best HCCTF clan, even if it is such a tiny playlist.

    It is not a thread for clans, it is a thread for people to discuss games held with other boardies that they added in this thread as per the OP.
    Some people here are up for competitive games against other clans and it is open. There have been some questioning of the rule set of a recent proposal, but there is interest.
    As for the moderation, please shush.

    In my quote I never refered to a specific thread so your wrong on that point. I was refering to the whole CoD forum which in my eyes is only open to people of a certain click.

    Also if you look back on the last 2 pages I am not bringing up anything about clan first. It is infact people who are not a member of the same clan as I am that are bringing it up and I am simply just answering them and the poor moderation I am refering to is when El Loco see's all my posts reported, and all yours or someone else not in the IRL clan reported, who do you think will get the infraction or ban?

    I played 2 matches on MW2 last week, did really crap so switched back to BLOPS :D

    Hiyaaaa.

    New to the board, was referred here by El Loco Ade. Basically my reason for posting what will inevitably be quite a long post is to do with recruiting someone for a competitive team.

    I'm Tom (fairly evident from the username). I play Xbox 360 competitively under the Decerto ruleset (will explain later) and as of a few hours ago have teamed up with Ade's Organisation HvG. We'll be representing them on the 360 side of competitive gaming and are set to attend the LAN event in late July. Ade said that there were a lot of strong players who would be keen to make the switch to competitive or already play competitive and would be keen to join a team that will be attending LAN events.

    The actual event isn't until July 30th-31st which gives 2 months for any potential scrimmages/trials. It also isn't a huge nerd fest, strangely enough, most people who actually attend the events are pretty sound guys who just enjoy the entire competitive scene (ECL - European Console League). As of right now, that isn't particularly important, feel free to have a google to see more about that.

    If anyone's keen to get in a few competitive games with us, send me a message to my GT: HvG Tom

    In terms of the Decerto ruleset for Black Ops, we ban Famas and Aug, as well as G11, LMG's, and shotguns.

    Flashbangs and Smokes are the only tactical, grenade is only lethal. No equipment. Perks are limited to Lightweight/Sleight of Hand/Ninja Pro [or Marathon Pro].

    No equipment at all, attachments that are banned are: extended mags, dual mags, noob tubes, underbarrel shotgun, flamethrower, think that's it.

    You'll finally mainly an AK47 no attachment, or MP5 red dot and an M16 red dot as the most popular classes.

    Feel free to message me to just get an play a few games with us, we're all mature adults(ish). I'm 21, and the other 2 are 21 and 17. Both myself and the other 21 year old are students whilst the 17 year old works full time so we mainly tend to play for 2 hours or so in the evening where we'll scrim or just muck about playing Zombies or other games.

    Cheers for reading this bible esque post lads,

    Tom.
    Tom, I have been trying to find the list of rules as per Decerto. Now I cannot find a list on their website, but they do indirectly link to the EU GB ruleset which they claim to have invented. This list is not as restrictive as your list as it allows Ex-mags on some guns and actually gives some choice on what perks people can use.
    Banned
    Perks
    Steady Aim
    Warlord
    Second Chance
    Flak Jacket
    Hardened

    Attachments
    Masterkey
    Flamethrower
    Grip
    Rapid Fire
    Grenade Launcher
    Extended Mags (allowed on Scorpion, Mac11, and PM63)
    Dual Mags

    All Equipment

    All Secondary Launchers

    Lethal
    Semtex

    Tactical
    Nova Gas
    Concussion
    Decoy

    Guns
    FAMAS
    AUG
    G11
    Shotguns
    Light Machine Guns

    Are you sure that what you detailed is the rules that you will be playing with?
