Thinking about doing a Deathmatch tournament. | Forums

[ReptileAssassin]

There seems to be an influx of tournaments lately, but none of them are Deathmatch and I might as well throw in one. This is for Xbox 360 only, United States/Canada only.

IMPORTANT: Please request a spot ONLY if you can consistently score 7000 points or higher in a Deathmatch game WITHOUT abusing Smoke Bomb. I want this competition to be as tough as possible.

I'm planning on hosting a Deathmatch tournament (which obviously means ACR only), and I'm thinking no more than 8 people. Here's the way I'm thinking of doing it.

The 8 players (or however many we end up having, but no more than one full lobby's worth) play 5 or 6 games of Deathmatch in a row, and the scores from every game are tallied to form the rankings and ultimately the winner. This means that if you destroy everything in game one but repeatedly get the short end of the stick in game 2, you still stand a good chance of losing.

Banned Abilities:

Smoke Bomb. Surprise!

The rounds will be played on these maps in order:

Castel Gandolfo
Knight's Hospital: Day
Venice: Day
Galata: Day
Souk: Night
Ippokratous: Night


OR, if every participant has the DLC maps, I can swap in some of them. I would love to play Deathmatch on San Donato Night, if possible. Participants will not necessarily be entered in order of request, I might pick or choose who gets in and I intend to invite specific people.

CURRENT ROSTER:

1. ReptileAssassin
2. FreakyChuckles
3. Zorboid Orbb
4. Rossko23
5. EldestPainter
6. TheDragonMarked
7. CJDavies82
8.WLP Carnage

The date has been set to Saturday the 14th, but I would like to run at least one test game with all of the participants at least one day beforehand to test connections and make sure there will not be problems.

I'm in, when is it?

[cjdavies]

I'm interested, I'm in UK for the time difference, I will use my 48 hour Gold card and I can get another from Ebay - this is for the 360 right?

I don't have the DLC map.

Currently my set for Deathmatch is Disguise/Poison lol

GT: FreakyChuckles Count me in, I think it would make more sense if you banned thrown SB or Offensive Smoke Bomb but I understand why you did. I get the feeling there is going to be lots of poison and disguise spam.

[ReptileAssassin]

Yes, this is for Xbox only. I'll edit the OP to include that.

Prodigy, no date set yet. Step 1 is getting a full roster.

Smoke bomb is stupid no matter how you use it IMO. Disguise/Poison will probably be pretty popular (I will be using it myself), but it at least takes skill and planning to execute.

Also, for those of you not using your xbox names on these forums, you need to tell me your exact gamertag.

I LOVE this idea. haven't used smoke bomb in deathmatch in forever so i would love to join this. Great idea Reptile :P and i also think you should ban gun.. since its almost the same... :/ but idk thats just my opinion

oh and gamertag is WHU Night Wolf

[ReptileAssassin]

The gun is permitted to prevent roofing from being too abusable. With the people I'm allowing in I don't think it will be an issue, but guns won't even come into play unless at least one person is roofcamping anyway.

Besides, using mid-air or execution to get the last bonus you need for variety still requires skillful use, because I have the feeling whoever gets locked on is not going to just hand you the bonus.

[TCFnightwolf]

Good point.

Just out of curiosity, if you make the stipulation for people to be able to consistently score 7k without abusing smokebomb, why ban it?

Smoke bomb, while being an incredibly powerful ability, would create variety in a deathmatch tournament. Without it, you will basically have everyone running disguise poison. If you included smoke bomb, you would at least have people using different sets based on those 3 abilities.

Best case scenario, you may end up forcing these "deathmatch pros" to bring things like morph into the tourney, which may in turn force people into bringing templar vision and/or firecrackers. That's all well and good, but what are you proving when you are forced to play the game in a way you wouldn't normally play it?

On the other hand, if you allowed people to bring smoke bomb, the people who "abuse" it or "crutch smokebomb" (as i prefer to call it) will be weeded out very soon and they will be your bottom contenders. By banning it, you are creating an artificial scenario that wouldn't normally exist in the game.


Just my two cents but, if you are going to ban anything, why not just have it be a simple deathmatch tourney and run no abilities/perks/streaks? Seems like it makes a bit more sense to me, but again, maybe that's just me.
