If you haven't heard the Euro's are having a $10,000 cash prize tournament for L4D2, anyone can enter so if you think you're pretty good with 400 ping by all means enter.
Besides the vague and shadowy sponsorship funding this prize, the modified version of confogl that's going to be used got my attention.
No super drastic changes or additions of gameplay elements, but I'd be keen for a couple games on the config, so if Cybergamer decides to continue its support of L4D2. I propose this to be used.
Quote:
- increased melee fatigue (starts not from 5 swings but 2 swings),
- infected spawn timers lowered to 18 seconds,
- severely limited throwable bombs, 1-1-1 on most maps (and 0-0-0 on the rest),
- taking pills will not give you all the temporary health immediately, but in 5 seconds (+10 temporary health per second),
- all melee weapons will be removed from starting saferooms.
I thought the whole point of pills was to give you an immediate health boost to keep you going. It seems kind of counter productive to make them even worse.
And if all the melee weapons are going to be removed from Dead Centre map 1 roof top, they should put some T1 weapons up there or something. That map is bad enough as it is.
A: Any team from Europe (including Russia and Turkey) or North-America (United States and Canada) can join. However, since it is a European tournament, North-American teams are forced to play on a European server. We have provided a number of official servers for the teams to use and some of them are located in the United Kingdom, which should give decent ping for North-American teams.
I do like the look of the config, sounds fun. Shame we can't compete.
