Warzone promised change :'(

Hey guys and girls,

I just wanted to point out a little something:


The new HL2:DM Warzone site gives a new refreshing look to the start of its second season. Last season 8 teams competed in 3v3 Warzone with {EE} coming out victorious. Sign ups are currently underway for Season 2 as another competitive battle is yet to begin. Things to look forward to this season are: a fresh set of competitive maps, more active clans competiting and playing against each other in an intense season, more admins involved, and a fun atomosphere. One of the major rules this season that will be enforced is no flaming tolerated, you will be able to read more on this in the forums soon. Overall, Warzone has stepped it up a notch after the collapse of the CAL league which was HL2:DM's primary league for the past 2 years after STA's downfall. Now that both leagues are out of the picture Warzone looks to pick it up yet this time on a whole new level. Good Luck to all participants this season and the Warzone Team can't wait for another fun and exciting season in the competitive world of Half Life 2 Deathmatch!



Pre- Season Week 1 - dm_airfusion -- 07/19/09
Pre- Season Week 2 - dm_octagon -- 07/26/09
Week 1 - dm_amplitude_r1 -- 08/02/09
Week 2 - dm_lockdown_r5 -- 08/09/09
Week 3 - dm_octagon -- 08/16/09
Week 4 - dm_biohazard_cal -- 08/23/09
Week 5 - dm_lostvillage -- 08/30/09
Week 6 - dm_caverns_r1 -- 09/06/09
Week 7 - dm_airfusion -- 09/13/09
Week 8 - dm_zeta_rc2 -- 09/20/09
Playoff Week 1 - dm_amplitude_r1 -- 10/04/09
Playoff Week 2 - dm_caverns_r1 -- 10/11/09
Playoff Week 3 - dm_lockdown_r5 -- 10/18/09


Now, is it just me, or does that map list completely contradict the promise of new competitive maps? Here we are, the remnants of a once not so fucked up game, trying to squeeze the last bit of life out of HL2DM as possible, and we're still playing leagues with maps that have been around for years. Come on. How is this helping the game? Warzone has completely disregarded almost every HL2DM map maker out there with this map list. It's a joke. Lockdown as the finals? Give me a break. Caverns had 5 more votes than any other map, and airfusion had the same amount as LD, but we're stuck playing a ported-4 year old-single player map in the finals of the second season of Warzone. Way to go!

It's funny how your team is the only one to complain about the schedule because your team's best map was not selected for the championship round. This thread is completely irrelevant and only posted to cause drama once again. As far as I know that's all you guys are known for...

As for "promises" there were no promises. I said "things you can look forward to", obviously some of those things were not met, not by my choice; but by the choice of the players selecting the "old" maps.

For lockdown being selected for the championship map, lockdown has been the championship map for the past 4 years yes, however r5 has not been played on a full league schedule seeing how CAL had ended mid way without this map ever being in a complete season. I would like to see this map go through the full season and be played in the championship as its variations have been in the past. (The amount of votes had nothing to do with playoff maps, never said it was going to, and no one asked about it or questioned it before)

There's your explanation, if you don't like it don't play, everyone else doesn't seem to have a problem with it.

And its better than having nothing amirite? So be happy that I have put in countless hours and work to put up and run warzone for your ass or don't play. I could care less.

For everyone else, thanks for participating and not complaining and making warzone be the most active since it's start.

Who cares if dm_lockdown_r5 is in the finals. You guys now have Va|iums and bAhLK who are both very good at ld, and blas who you guys already had who is also good at LD. It isn't like cavs isn't in the rotation at all...

Sure, the only new map is airfusion... but thats what the players voted for. As for "Warzone has completely disregarded almost every HL2DM map maker out there with this map list."- i shouldnt need to point out that in a democratic map selection process, maps arent going to make the cut based solely on who made them.

I do agree (as ive mentioned before) that playoff/championship maps should be based on total votes.

all OSE and OGL need is an admin to step up and create a league. But I know you wouldn't want to put in that amount of time for a successful league.

But no one really likes you guys (besides those ppl with there nose so far up your ass you cant see there face) because your arrogant pricks to say the least. We all have no problem loosing, to anyone, this game is fun winning or loosing. It's just that no one likes to be around you..

In IRC he routinely commented on how he was going to raise money for college by selling pot.
People who earn an income selling contraband often end up with free room and board and free pinstriped or orange jammies.

Right, I get my STD's all mixed up. Remember that time I went to the doctor to get some penicillin for gonorrhea and he told me that it was herpes and I had to live with it? LOL, good times...
