Squad Death Match (SDM)

Gone_Away · June 06, 2010, 11:38:39 PM

Guys,

What do you think about SDM? Have any of you played it?

I'd like us to consider it for some rotational play once in a while. Not only is it a lot of fun, despite the name, it does promote good tactical play. I found a brief description below:

In SDM, four squads of four members square off against each other to see which squad can reach the kill limit first. The way to win SDM is to stay with your squad and work together to hunt down the enemy squads that are hunting you! The opportunities for close quarter combat and intricate squad play are endless.

If you play this out a bit further, this could be turned into a ladder matchup which could be something great for BC2 at dMw!

I'm not around this w/e because of Download Festival but I would like to consider this for the following week.

Happy to try the mode, never tried it to date.

Played, meh seems fun but got boring real fast but with decent Teamworking Squads it can be a blast.

well up for this, sounds really good, would need to get squad level TS3 sorted but I think its got legs.

TeaLeaf · June 07, 2010, 03:13:38 PM

Squad channels take 30 seconds to sort, just say what when you need it.

Cheers TL I think we may try this next weekend when NF is back from that tribal gathering/witchcraft thing he's gone to.

lol.. Glad you think it's worth a try. I wanted to get the admin buy-in first before asking TL / Whitey to open up new channels in TS.

I'd like to wait to make the change and build up some excitement about the game mode first.

It's alot of fun, I'd reccomend giving it a go.

Maybe it's something we could do either early/late on the night, while player numbers are low?

It would be ideal at a LAN, where bandwith is tight- we could run an SDM cup in no time at all.

Guys...

What do you think of promoting SDM Trial on Saturday June 19th?

I've checked the footy schedule and there's no-one big playing that evening. The netherlands play at 1pm I believe.

I'd want to do sign-ups and then "admin" those players into the server. Potentially using VIP invites if it's working...

There's a bit to do as I'd like four SDM channels set up on TS3 (not yet please!).

We could start promoting it on Monday. Can you let me know if you can make it?

:crying:Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, I play badminton on Saturdays.

OK.. Let's get things moving..

Valdeko: can you please work up a WolfCon configuration that will switch the server over to SDM and provide it to Whitey?

I'll circle back to Whitey on PM about the channels in TS3.

Can all admins confirm their attendance in the main thread that I'm going to post up in the main BC2 forum. Tut.. you have no excuse now..

Let's try to generate a bit of enthusiasm.

I'm going to list off 16 positions. If we can fill it we may want to consider a pw for the server for the night. If we can't, then we keep it public and we can kick any pubs to make room for Community members.

Fingers X'd that we can get WolfSpawn working by then.
