I’m very proud to announce our very latest BfME2 tournament, in celebration of BfME2’s second anniversary! The tournament will be played using the Battletest patch, the new community balance and bug-fixing initiative, which greatly improves gameplay. We will be playing a single-elimination 1v1 tournament, with prizes sponsored by Electronic Arts!

To find out more, simply head on over to our special tournament forums. Here you will find rules, info, how to sign-up, brackets, match results and so much more! The tournament itself will take place starting March 29th.

This will be a big community initiative, so expect for this announcement to show up on other BfME sites as well.

Awesome job Freek! Although I am not the greatest at 1 vs 1.

SoraStrife:

tbh ana already signed up, not much we can do but decide the line up of whos going to get beat down by him :P

zach:

O great.

Aberrance:

Freek, make sure you post this on GR, might get us a few people around for a week or two ;O.

SoraStrife:

good callzors, I know a lot of the GR people are always looking for a good tourney

blackfalcon:

If I may ask the stupid, noobish question of the day, what is the GR?

SoraStrife:

gamereplays.org

Its like the one stop shop site for all things Real Time Strategy related

Aberrance:

No but theres a solid enough people who will pretend to care for prizes :P

zach:

Yea, and the prizes are pretty good. :) 2 new games these days cost at least $100.

Aberrance:

Prizes suck, playing EA games is detrimental to your entertainment.

zach:

EA has a couple New games that are good.

SoraStrife:

which are not available as prizes in this tournament :P

zach:

I like Burnout Paradise. Also I wonder if we can pre-order games with this? lol. I want Battlefield: Bad Company. hehe

Gage:

This is grand news. I am not so much sure the tourney its the most important part of this announcement. It's that it's a EA tourney, using the BT2DC. In short, EA is giving the BTP official support!! This is great news for all those that are BTP fans.

Freek, great job to say the least!! Gamereplays.org, BFME 2 sections will be pushing this hard along side you guys, as you said, this isn't a site tourney but a community tourney!!

Gage

zach:

Yea that is pretty cool, mabey they will offer it as a download now.

VaeVictis:

ffs Anarion has almot 5000 posts here also.

Freek:

You do realise that Bad Company will be a free-to-play game?

Thought I'd tell you just in case you'd win and make a total fool of yourself :P

zach:

Your kiddin? They will not make it totally free! No battlefield game has ever been free.

Ryxin:

Great! ^^

Freek:

zach:

No it costs the same as any normal 360 game: http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/acti...av;checkprices

You do realize your mixing up the Cartoon game and the PS3/Xbox 360 game...

Freek:

I am :P

I'll shut up now

zach:

Who me or him? Cause I am talking about Battlefield: Bad Company for xbox 360.

Mithrandir7:

Bad Company looks uber sexy :wub:

Freek:

I thought we were talking about this game before:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_Heroes

Rofl yeah.

Ana you dumb piece of ****, I'll smash you. Otherwise, have a nice day.

Since swearwords are censored here: At least didn't my country create the host issue = ]

zach:

Hey, be nice to your fellow forumers.

Drizzt Do'Urden:

Sorry I just hate him for life, can't help.

SoraStrife:

lol, Unr34l noobfaces :P

Freek:

Every forum has a resident lunatic, we have Ana :P

Mithrandir7:

What happened to Dee? :P

SoraStrife:

dee quit all this stuff, he even made sure to get perma banned from GR by posting gay pr0n :P

Tornado`:

Good job on getting this tourny freek. ;)

Freek:

Well, I do guess we have you to thank for getting us in touch with EA, but then again - when you left you said it would never work :P "Don't do it" as I recall.

Drizzt Do'Urden:

Reinstall xfire nub.

zach:

Whoa its BKON! lol

Black King Of Numenor:

hey, lol

i am currently deciding whether i should take part in this or, would be a dam shame if ana or drizzit won = [

zach:

lol, you should play. Would make an awesome final and semi final games.

Freek:

As long as you dont post gay pr0n afterwards, go for it tbh :P

Drizzt Do'Urden:

First of it's Drizzt not Drizzit - seems that gay porn hasn't helped your mental sickness = [ You can't play BfME2 even if your life depends on it.

And why didn't you mention me in your bibi-post = [

And reinstall xfire kthx.

zach:

Lol, you have beaten BKoN, Drisst? Lol, I stood no chance against him. If you can beat him you would kill me in about 10 seconds.

Freek:

But thats because there are no words to describe how bad good you are, Zach :P

zach:

Hey I was awesome at BFME 1. At one point in time during ranked matches I was on a huge win streak.

Black King Of Numenor:

drizzit plays bfme2, i played rotwk, but i think i played him once and i won idk, but he wud prlly beat me seeing as i havent played in ages and bfme2 aint even my game

Drizzt Do'Urden:

We've never played I think ^^ You still suck :)

zach:

Lol, well I bet I could beat you at BFME 1, BKoN!

Drizzt Do'Urden:

OH YAH I've reps to prove Ana sucks =D

Freek:

Lucky you you're probably going to get the opportunity to prove your tough talk :P

Aberrance:

lol, you talking about the offhost and VC games? Laggiest bags of **** anyone has ever lit on fire.

Drizzt Do'Urden:

I won on your host too coz you quit after I told you it lagged as **** = ] So 2-1 for me and would have been 3-0 if my ****ing barrage didn't miss lol. And you were the one recording not me so FO and die if you don't mind = ]

Freek:

Alright, Im going to really have to ask you guys to cut the flaming now.

Aberrance:

lol. The game I quit i was winning, feel free to post the reps. The other game you woulda lost anyway, I thran rushed and beat you offhost, LOL. So you've, in reality 1 rep to prove anything, which all it shows is my rohirrim running through your pikes, which I've the VC recording of to show how i clicked 15 times for them to turn but your host sucks that much. GGNORE.

EDIT: And we aren't flaming Freek, we're clan m8's and are just messing around ^^.

Freek: Removed flaming

Drizzt Do'Urden:

Lol in the last game you were like dead, but came back with your homo Thran which > my BWs and then I started to suck and then I would've come back if my goddamn barrage didn't miss.

But as it stands we rape at 2v2s =D

And your host is like a million times worse mine, even AoW said so and apparently mine lagged pretty bad already = ]

Edit: Freek we're no mates

Freek: Removed flaming

confuciusez:

I hope you both burn in hell

especially you victor, you polish shittheadd
well nvm, ana's kinda a tard too

payne:

Everyone visiting MEC for the first time, maybe you should read the site rules before posting.

confuciusez:

lol i have almost as many posts as you, u dont suspect i got all of them in the last 10 mins do u? :P

Black King Of Numenor:

or you could just be chill and not lose the only members u got in the last few days :)

payne:

Ok, then with all your learned wisdom from being here longer than me, follow the rules. :D

Freek:

Or you could stop acting like an 11-year old...

Gandy?

SoraStrife:

lol, Freek if you think this is bad, you should see their clan forum...

zach:

I bet that is one big flame board. lol. Prolly has 1000 posts a day, due to all the flames. hehe.

SoraStrife:

basically it just involves them calling each other names based on the word cock, which is used so much over there I think it may actually qualify worldwide as a term of endearment

payne:

Guys, I hope you realize you're getting to the point where not only will you both be banned, you may not be able to participate.

Follow the forum rules and we'll all get along. :D

SoraStrife:

lol, tbh their just treating this place like they treat their clan forums on GR, people who have seen that monstrosity probably are used to this...

and on GR Im SoraStrife nubfaces, my avie is just different because my cool v-slash avie is to big kb wise to put here

Black King Of Numenor:

Seems like Unr3al jus said hello to mec..

Freek:

Just a little heads up, if this clan and its members continue to challenge rules here at MEC, you and your entire clan will be banned from this - and any future events and tournaments here at MEC.

Feel free to spam on your clan forums, but do not do it in more public forums. You know its not allowed in GR public forums - it sure as hell isn't here. (For those of you who are not banned and can still read this)

Tornado`:

Freek got out his ban stick and almost broke it I see. :P

Freek:

Its a knob, and I burned out my two spare ones as well.

zach:

Finally the king is here. Mabey they will listen to you. Heck the obly way I could get em to listen was to issue temp bans.

Mithrandir7:

Funniest day on the forums in quite a long time, methinks :P

payne:

Except... it really isn't funny. I dunno if you guys think you're cool, or what it is. But really, just strengthens the stereotype that gamers are loser kids with nothing better to do than talk about male genitalia.

zach:

Yea, yall give us gamers a bad image, but noit only that but you all are giving MEC a bad image to new members.

Drizzt Do'Urden:

I don't consider myself a gamer. Or do you call playing 5 hours a week gaming? I admit, I've played lots in the last 3 weeks but that's an exception, really. I play video game for when I'm bored and am at home anyway and don't have anything better to do.

valente:

It's better for the community if you stop playing. :D Btw I want to say "Hi" to all my mates. :)

Quite Frankly im appalled most of us weren't banned. Anyone with a shred of intelligence can see what was done was intentional and more so, a joke.All this shows is MeC needs some more backbone in it's administration. But have @ it Payne, you tell them off, im sure it will have quite the radical impact.

VaeVictis:

Owned by Anna.Not often i say that.

payne:

Who were they supposed to be banned by?

But I'll stop telling you guys off--you screw up one more time and you're out of the tournament. :D

zach:

Dude I banned almost all of them. Not Permantly but like 8-24 hour bans! And Its not Freeks or anyone of the staffs faults if people are too stupid to act like they have a brain.

Drizzt Do'Urden:

This deserves a warn or at least an NI. Or a warning sine you're staff. No kidding.

Freek:

Hey, if you want to compete in this tournament, I'd shut your yap.

Drizzt Do'Urden:

Just as you're voicing your opinion about GR over there, I voice my complaints here. Before I got 70% warn (which was deserved), I got 30 which was for flaming apparently. He just flamed me, didn't he?

Mithrandir7:

Freek is the local dictator though, he can do what he feels like :P

VaeVictis:

Local DICK tator

Tornado`:

Erhm....Dictator....I don't see a 'K' in that whole word. Have reading troubles?

We should add "Hooked on Phonics" to the prizes tbh.

zach:

Yea that would make an nice addition Tornado. I will ersonally go by some, as their seemed to be a lot of people from GM who keep on mispelling clock by leaving out the L. Silly people. Whats the world going to come to? :)

Drizzt Do'Urden:

It's GR.

Tornado`:

Lol @ misspelling clock. xD

zach:

Same difference :)

blackfalcon:

Can we get back on topic, please. You guys want a strict mod? Well now you have one.

zach:

Sorry about that. Well it seems like this tournament is becoming quite popular. We got a lot of people registered! Not like the good old days but still quite a few.

Tornado`:

Considering we were talking about the tournament......

Freek:

You weren't.

You also know we don't discuss mod decisions in public :)

Hopefully EA will put the banner up on their site the coming week. We might not reach the magical hundred, but fifty is more then doable for us.

Tornado`:

We were talking about people from GR and MEC meshing which resulted from the tournament. ;)
