start with the good:
- much more prepared and learned from the last event, by that i mean..
- everything was set up and ready to role
- registration ran smoothly.
- overall everything played out accordingly
- liked the simple ballanced guardian map.
- red bull:)
- tcu place worked great for it.. good seating
- lots of game time
- fun
however, i noticed a couple things that could add to the greatness:
- the Tv IsSuE.. more complex then it looks i know, but those proximas or w/e they were called that we were playing on were really good compared to the other brands there like the soyo.. if its possible maybe concider go to that brand? maybe a way to go in the future.
- as competitors know well, these turnys turn into a survival of the fitest.. not just in gaming but for the ability to play over hours on end. as much as i love gaming forever and surviving on beer in the evenings, it may be difficult for the average gamer to play with these conditions............ so what my point is is maybe next time we could have a bit more of a planned schedual of atleast events, and maybe have some planned downtime / get out at like 7 or something, A LUNCH BREAK :P. stuff like this.
- where were the garbages?? lol not the typical issue but somehow they were hiding.
- catering: it would be great if we could buy pizza.. do what you gotta do like a dollar a slice or w/e but pizza goes great with gaming and i'd love a snack
- hard drives(?): it came to my attention that the boxes with the harddrives (the elites) ran faster, i think its fair with each team having one harddrive with the hosts and the way it was set up. what i dont want to see is people bringing their own, OR have everyone bring their own.. one of the 2 because people could have an edge with this.. im not sure this maybe complete bull, but if its not it should be even.
.. side note in doubleteam i couldn't help but notice brett/drew playing on the same screen, at first i thought w/e its a prefference.. but there has to be taken into concideration playing with your own box, hard drive may have given an edge? im not sure and it doesn't matter because obveously you want to take full control of the situation. but say this does help.. maybe there should be stricter rules in the future. (i dont mean to point fingers or anything but this is a prime example.
- that leads me to bringing your own boxes.. i doubt this is ok for this reason but ya its part of the other issue^
- wireless controllers: DONT BRING THEM, we had people playing on other peoples boxes in events, THIS IS NOT OK.
- WEAPONS: somethings fishy here.. first turny you could tell when the weapons were going to spon, they were exact and on the clock, since the recent update i noticed that theres something different, some setting that makes them spon later if you're holding them or something. i think w/e this is should be removed and fixed.
- host should be pre determined and not a sprint to the station.
its got to be said that the negitive does not outweigh the greatness in any way, it was a blast and calgary should be huge. im just throwing out my 2 cents and ideas for improvements so this gets bigger and better~ T1M3:eek:
