I'm in, lets do this.
Well thats the actual great thing about this game. Its possible to play 15 minutes every day, taking one turn. If you dont mind, you can definitely invite me on UK1 (TomaLexi) for such match. I dont care how long matches are taking and love to think it over a while as well.Moobabe said:

It contained the tournament feature, which has been cut out again within a few hours, a few fixes which were so minor I didnt notice them, and supposedly a change for the ranking system.

I'm in, even though my last match was the one I played in this tournament.
Alright, most people got back to me pretty fast, we are currently only waiting for 5 others. Guess I'll give them 2 more days to respond and then will ask others to join in instead.
If you know any of these, punch them into direction of their PM's:

Sorry for the late response, I'm still i... oh, never mind.
Spirit of Jazz said:
Nah, perfectly fine. I did a few matches with the patch, and changes are so minor AND we cant use the tournament function anyway, which means we'll just go ahead with the tournament this time.
Still waiting for those 4 guys though.

Anyone else might want to join in on the tournament in case they dont get back to me?

So what's up with the servers. UK is offline? If I choose Texas, do my stats still get updated?

I see it has been fixed.
Question: Why was my last guy killed?

Screwy priority. I couldn't honestly tell you.
He's moving, he has more cover(I guess the main reason) coming out while you're standing near to a table/low-cover. You have the aim advantage, but he has the "cover" advantage for the stupid wild-shot they do in-game for battles instead of accurate on aim/standing-still sniper-shot that should be possible in game.
TheSeks said:
Actually, thats the problem. Walls dont count as cover. At least they didnt count prior to the patch. Can someone confirm they completely changed that?
In that video none of the two units had any cover whatsoever.Either they changed walls giving cover or ducking is now a disadvantage.
Note to self: 9 RPGs vs 9 RPGs = Performance slowdown, they weren't kidding.
Also the AI seems to shit itself when set-up that way. It won't move or fire, and rockets seem to move past people even if you duck and they're ducked and you're firing head on into them. WTF.
That said: Had an awesome set against the AI.
Also learned you can open the console and skip to the end with:
gotoMission(c1m2); or whatever for chapter and mission number. Awesome. >_>
Too bad I created a new profile to test that out and can't seem to delete that profile. At least it hasn't messed with my "legit" progress but GOD there is many maps for the singleplayer and they said they plan to flesh it out even further. D:

Just saying.
Anyway, I'll post the tourney schedule for the final round tomorrow. If you opponent wont react within 1-2 weeks, they'll forfeit their games and we move on. There are still about 4-5 people which I tried to reach but didnt get a hold of.
Toma said:
:lol True. But the singleplayer is a bit of a drag. I mean you have to be careful because no matter how much you plan the enemy AI the AI will do something completely random and the yellow/AI-controlled AI is moronic at times and will go down in a hail of gunfire.
