Will definitely be joining this, sounds like a great experience not to be missed.

[Avenger]

WTF?

Isn't it still just 16 on 16 players? What's the point?

[Nyu]

competative play as in a Tournament. BFE you haven't experienced, have you?

[[-project.rattus-]]

Er.... Squad/Clan-Discussion?

[Nyu]

well, this isn't a clan and, besides, not much traffic goes through that Section anyway. if the admins here want to move it then go right ahead.

[Munkie]

Perhaps someone can tell me what happened to BFE? I haven't been following current events....

[Witzig]

BFE is about dead, UltraZ left and no one stepped up, and the Sponsosr has decided to turn it off. So the Server Webspace will go down in the immediate Future

[Nyu]

out with the old and in with the new

[Heinz]

it looks intriguing.

[Skew]

Awesome! I'm in!

While it may be just 16 on 16 for now the more players we get, the more we can expand. So we can have two servers running 16 on 16, more than one division per side, etc. I have set up the organization so that it is easy to grow in the future.

I also want to stress that this is a lot different than BFE. First off we have a full complement of staff with strict guidelines to ensure everyone enjoys themselves. Secondly, the strategic level of operation is a lot more robust requiring the corps commanders to carefully plan out their moves and use their upgrade power carefully (yes the reason for the mutators I'm creating comes apparent now ) Thirdly we strongly encourage community participation in improvement projects to make Iron Crescendo better for everyone. For the future we have plans to implement date based availability for weapons and equipment to have an even further level of immersion. Every 3 weeks or so the "year" will advance and new equipment comes available to both sides.

We're still working on getting everything organized and optimized (my apologies for the frontpage I have someone working on that) but we have put a lot of work into this and we hope that all of you will enjoy yourselves at Iron Crescendo

BFE was good, but Iron Crescendo looks like it will get rid of all the problems that plagued BFE. I'm looking forward to the creation MoFo.

Yes, we're not going to be tolerating the constant bickering that went on at BFE at all. Tournaments are meant to be fun, not a headache!

Seconding this. I just kinda gave up on BFE - despite having loads of fun - because I'd rather be outside* than in on a Friday night.

* It exists, I swear! I've seen it with my own eyes!

King rangar, for the time being we are only going to have battles on Saturday. As our numbers grow we can discuss possibly having a Tuesday or Wednesday battle as well. The difference is that we are discussing the possibility of starting earlier (like around 1000edt), taking a one hour break after 4-5 hours of playing, then starting again and playing for another 4-5 hours. This way we start early enough for those party animal euros who want to go out but still play late enough for west coast usa to get some time in.

Veryhungryhobo, we still require teamspeak to play. You do not need a microphone to use it. The main reason for teamspeak is the ability to communicate with your side with better quality and less lag than the in game VOIP (since teamspeak and the game are on two different machines). It also allows seperation of players into tank units for example so you can communicate directly with your tankmate without interference from the other members. These are only a few of the many benefits of using teamspeak so go get it and sign-up

You don't need a mic to use teamspeak. Download teamspeak and run it so you can hear orders, you can type out what you wanna say :P

* cries because battles are on a saturday * can you at least have a vote at your forums to see when the majority of people want to play? please ?
