the darkside series returns :

Yay, another excellent night of playing mindless games, mindful games and sleeping on four chairs pushed together.

I don't know whether it'll be out by then or not, but SWAT 4 is gonna be so good. I was lucky enough to be part of the limited key beta MP testing and it owns.

Hi Guys I have a question - why not make use of the fact that we have a large number of people attending the LAN to have proper mass combat games of COD, Battlefield and CS:Source? 5 vs 5 you can organise anytime but 20vs 20 is a much more appealing prospect. Thats what the above games were designed for esp. Battlefield and COD. See you at DS XI, Monkeyboy. (Sligo)

The 5v5 games etc are just for the comps, you will find that there will be 20+ player games going on, the servers are there just find a game and jump in I hope your not suggestinmg we run a 20+ player comp for said games..in saying that a packet of polo biscuits split between 20 is not a bad idea Welcome to the Darkside D.

20v20 comp could be done. just a little more work involved. each side is made up of 4 teams of 5. so Teams ABCD vs WXYZ. team score is depenedent on scores of players added up. then ABYZ vs CDWX. might not work for certain game types but it would be a hell of alot better than the 2v2 at darkside 8 *shudder*

If you have each 20 man side made up of 4 teams of 5 you only need prizes for five people. Simple.

Would not be very fair on the other 15 who felt as if they have played some part in the game nad yet recieve nothing..so if we only need 5 prizes.. 5v5 comp..simple. Although fell free to ask BioHazRd about running a 20v20 comp as more or less the owner of Darkside LAN he has the last word.

1 - I presume you are legally allowed to drink beer 2 - Beer in moderation is good 3 - Go against the guidelines in 1 or 2, and its away home for you
