Platform Wars 4
Platform War 3 recently took place and the PC side won! Shall we have another? Bigger and Better than the last? Shall the Mac's Strike Back? Post thoughts/comments/admin thoughts.

Please If You Have Port-Forwarded Your Router and your not to laggy and could be a possible host please leave a post below!

Ok here is some updated maps to vote on by looking at what you guys want :) Utapu Sink Hole, Death Star Interior, Cloud City, Tationee Jabba's Palace and I think it would be good to have Bespin PLATFORMS? I mean it kinda fits? Doesn't it?

Thanks

OK now I'm getting a little over board sorry :)

I think this is way too soon, leave it a few months before we have another.

Can we at least pick a cool mod map everyone likes and work from there.

No mod map, those crappy things lagg a lot
but its a good idea to post a lot of maps and then vote for one

As for the voting on maps for it, feel free to, we will set one up in the future.

And Verik.

Few good mod maps cause any substantial lag, the lag you got from PW.3 was because you are not in America and were playing on a server hosted in Atlanta.

Or your settings are to high for your computer to run, a good test is to take Endor and when it runs smoothly, stick with those settings. because it should run smoothly in SP.

UNIT33 I know this is very soon but this is just to get ideas/maps and stuff sorted :)

Tell me what you think of these standards/customs for a possibility for PW.4!

Bespin-Cloud City
Rhen Var-Citadel
Rhen Var-Harbor
Tationne Jabba's Place
Death Star Interior
Insanity Mod-Break/Food time just for fun :P
Able's CoD4 Shipping Area

And any others you might recommend!

Thanks DS

Jedikillers mod map needs every one to lay off the rockets or limit to one hot of rockets at a time because when just a few shoot off rockets it will cause high latency. That mod map would be a good choice.

I would really enjoy the Insanity Mod for break time it would be great fun :)

I would say no, honestly its a great mod, but it would kill the server in seconds, you would never control it.

I think you are right Hardcore.

HC your right it would be so laggy

Hello??? i thought this was one of the best hosters since i joined the game. secondly i thats what i mean whit mod maps

I think PW4 should be in April or May

Some maps I would like 2 have in PW4 are
Bespin cloud city
Rhen Var Harbour
Dea1
Utapa sinkhole
Corus 1

[mod]Please do not double-post. Use the edit button instead.
-Red[/mod]

I would like to have the PW4 sometime sooner than that because i missed PW3 :'(

I would vote for Utapau Sinkhole, Dea1, and corus 1 or 2

Lets just get maps Pc's are good on. O wait that's all of them ;P
I think we should do the same maps as in the 1st Platform war. Those ones were killer ^_^

What maps were they Rex? I wasn't there :( I have a feeling the Macs will take back though!

QuoteLOCATIONS OF THE FIGHTING: BESPIN: CLOUD CITY, THE MAZE (maz1), DEATH STAR (dea1), TATOOINE: JABBA'S PALACE, ARMCHAIR ASSAULT (aa)

Although I wasnt a big fan of aa ;P. So maybe switch aa with Kamino ^_^

I hate Kamino  >:(

Click on my xfire friend  (http://www.xfire.com/profile/501stkyree/)web link to get to "we are ODST! We fight , We Win We Never Die Were Only Missing In Action." then click downloads. You will see some Site Exclusive mod maps that have some interesting Note: Star Wars Battlefront Files and Man Clan must ask that no competitor or other mirror site host this file, as it has been asked to be endorsed and mirrored by Star Wars Battlefront Files ONLY. We thankyou for your cooperation! This leads me to believe not many people know about these two mod maps.

NOT MAY!!!! THEN IM LEARNING FOR MY EXAMS!!!! NO!!!!!!
Please do it in the holidays like over 2 weeks? or do it at Easter or something like that

Like sometime in march dring spring break

I wouldn't mind it to be next friday...

I have a suggestion for the "break" in the middle.
Two words:
Boonta.
Eve.
C'mon, paintball, races, random goofing off? It's the perfect map to mess around on.

yea that would be a good one-or the snowball fight
nothing like a good snowball fight in the middle of spring :D

Paint ball... I'm good with that! :tu:

Na I dont like em maps there stupid.

Why they are good fun! Just for a break...

Yeah, c'mon, some 4 on 4  (or whatever number of ppl who want to play) paintball in the paintball arena, all of us being the paintballer class, or just random racing, or random crashing, or random stunts, or random randomness.

C'mon, Boonta Eve is PERFECT for a break/fun time. There's randomness for everybody.

Yea i vote Boonta Eve for break only.

Mk Boonta Eve

ok well do Boonta eve for break.

Does it honestly matter what map we use for a break? We just wasted a full page of posts arguing what should be used as a break map.

If you want another PW, I suggest you focus on getting a hoster, getting a possible date and other such things.

BD your absolutely right, is there anyone who could be a possible host?

Led has the least latency so as usual, I would suggest asking him to host PW4. If no one (with a strong ISP) is available to host, I am willing to do so seeing how my ISP is a bit greater than average.

Yeah, Led would probably be the best option, I think 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999% get our best ping on his servers.I would like to see some battlefield-style maps. Like Kashyyyk Docks, Geonosis Spire, or Rhen Var Harbor, as long as people wouldn't go nuts with the tanks.But alas, they would. Better just stick to infantry maps. On that subject, I don't believe we've had Jabba's Palace as a map on the list. Despite being small it's fun and there are all sorts of strategic options.Let's have some mod maps in this next one. In the past, there was a BF2 conversion map and a mod map, at least for PW2. We should have a balanced mix of common mod maps and classic maps, with a BF2 conversion for good measure. Another factor to figure out is how LONG this break will be? Will it be a set in stone time, or when most of the people get bored? But this is but a minor detail.

Break should be like half an hour or so-and i would like to do ggctuk's kashyyyk conversion map if we do one.

Sure, I can host.  If someone else *wants* to host, that's fine too.

Just remember that my number one rule is: no cursing   ;)

Settle on the maps--if you guys pick a stinker I will let ya know  :P


Buckler/Led

Ya! Go led! your an awesome host! only 250 pings :D thats good for me then

Led, thanks..... I would be greatly happy if you host PW.4 if no one else wants to :)

I really think the fewer custom maps the better. It's quite a hassle for some of us to find and DL the maps, especially if joining is just a spur of the moment decision. I'd recommend using customs only when necessary. Frequently used maps are maz1, dea1, mus1 and similar. I'd recommend sticking with the frequently used ones, rather than more obscure ones like Boonta Eve.

Hmmm....

Ok, I'm lazy... When is it?

I may jsut have to re-install SWBF for this :D!

We haven't decided yet this is for just sorting out maps and hosts and times this is not the official PW.4 thread.

Wow, according to *insert source I forgot here* the time it takes for your action to correspond in a game is 80 ms. So in theory, that's the highest your ping can go without any signs of lag. I keep on forgetting that you're in the Netherlands.

Does March 6th work for everyone?

Im gonna be busy on the sixth.

That might not be possible for me  :'(

That might work for me, sorta depends what time of day. If it's afternoon or evening PST it should be good (If I remember this time  ::) )

Why not make it this Friday? :P
Other that that day, it's s maybe for me.

I am ok with what ever day is made. I will be on teamspeak on that night like I have been on for the past nights.

"Does March 6th work for everyone?"
Works for me.
Btw
(Between March 10th-April16th i'm gonna be in Europe ,so i can't participate)

March 6th I will be out of town driving a robot around...TEAM 639 FTW!!!

did I seriously just pick the day when nobody is available

How about the 7th?

I can probabaly play on the 7th if we play at later than 3PM CST

That entire weekend is bad for me

Seventh will work for me...probably

i can only be on like friday and saturday...but thats only if you guys pick out the times XD

March 7 is fine for me, and the day before was fine too.

I have found a way to cut my ping in half =P Although i'm not willing to teach it to everyone, and it would be sorta messy for everyone to have the right programs and stuff so the ping could be reduced.

I think that it's NOT too soon. SWBF's gotten boring.

I agree

I am completely fine with either of those days, honestly there's nothing major going on that I can't reschedule going on in March for me, so... yeah. Anyday is good for me, really.

so make it march 7th 3PM CST

On  a Sunday?

na either do it on a usa staurday

lets keep it to friday and staturday and NOT TO LATE! so in the morning

NO saturday 3PM CST plz :whistle:

Hmm... Yeah can't really do Sundays AS IT IS JUST BEFORE SCHOOL !
A Friday or a Saturday will suffice...
Remember the time differences, last time we agreed 3PM CST
as this was the most rounded time for players. But there's no way we can find a time everybody can attend to happily.

yeah, it's gotta be a weekend. Friday or saturday evening, around 4 ish or 5 ish. I can't suggest any times though, as I'm on western time (Idaho) and what might be convenient for me might not be convenient for those in the east or any England/UK people.

Make it 6th march sat 3/4 or 5PM CST

3 or 4 i might make that time, count 6 hours whit it and your on my time D= so that makes it 10 o clock

OK roger that

How many times have I asked you to stop spamming? Please do not make posts that do not contribute anything at all to the topic at hand. The next time is a warning.

That's the only weekend for at least a few weeks I can make it. How about this weekend? The 27th at about 3CST?

ya, good for me if its this weekend count me in then

That's good for me too, I'm ready to beat up a few macs  :moo:

Weekends led always has something going on. It will be cool to have his clan in on the war also. Any date is cool with me.

Hopefully the Macs win this time! Some of are good player weren't there for us like Yankee, Rex and Gree! :'( Rex's Mac is laggy though so I guess you can't blame him!

When is it is it this saturday 3PM CST?

can i be in this war? i'm on the pc side of course.

xshat is welcome, all is welcome. There is only one main rule.

OMG! i really hate this to hear this all the time gree and rex blah blah blah dont you have eyes? Im better duh! xD Rex doesnt play on his mac anymore and i dont see gree anymore ;__;

so what time and date is the war for eastern zone?

The date and time hasn't been officially decided yet.

Make sure its on a USA saturday plz at about 3PM CST

"How about this weekend? The 27th at about 3CST?"
I can't make it on this weekend

Tomaszl you should film again if you can make it! I've edited a few of the PW.3 files but having trouble getting them on You-Tube because the files are to big, I may have to re-edit them into two separate parts :rant:

3PM CST... this seems to be the most agreeable time (that's why it worked last time !!!)
On a Friday or Saturday...
And sometime in March should be where the date lands, to be this weekend would be too short notice, I'm sure some people all-ready have plans for this weekend.

JK and Tomazel when you get the PW3 footage on youtube tell me what you named it I wanna see the footage :P

So are we gonna play PW4 or not

Probably. Just have to figure out a decent time for it.

yes and dont make it an America only game. if its after 12 here im not gonna play and i also bet those dudes from England also dont come then. pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee make it right i want to play!

I don't really play SWBF anymore, but I sure hope our macs can pull it off!

I'm pretty sure Verik, we were the only Europeans who joined in last time.

Yes...but were a buch of phyco gamers who have no real live apart from laughing about people who have a car accident XD

HEY ! It was funny at the time...
But yeah, there can't be that many Europeans on the site, most are Canadian or American...

I'm pretty sure we decided 3PM CST was fine about eight posts ago, we seem to be going around in circles.

You know I didn't see this map mentioned anywhere, a really good one is Eddie's Italia  :tu: and I can supply a realism mod if wanted

morphed into T.1

------------------------->



OK, I will jump in here

-CSI9 ----------- Eddie's Italia SP v1.1 ---------------- {9}  Great map. Good online. (ATF:CM)

-bofc -- 91st Assault Corps: The Battle of Coruscant ---- {8}  Epic Space Battle / Hangar Battle Map.

-ddf1 ----------- Tatooine: Fueling Station CW ---------- {9}  Fantastic map. Flyable Millennium Falcon. Great in MP & SP. CW version. (ATF:CM)

-dea1m ---------- Death Star: Infiltration -------------- {8}  (MM); dea1. Great weapons/characters.


Time to be determined, but before April 15th :)

Buckler

So are we gonna play?

Please read this topic: http://www.mpcgamers.com/smf/index.php?topic=2053

That will be replacing the Platform War at this time.

Locked.
