MAP I

Comments: STATS

Bosjer and Godsmurf had a low ping; SemperFy, Kingpin and the four Germans had about 150. Everything went fine, our teamplay and communication during the game worked nicely and we had control over the map most of the time.

MAP II
Comments: STATS

Uh, everything that could go wrong went wrong here :) SemperFy couldn't play because of the lag, so we had to pull MilkFish away from his school books and throw him in the game totally unprepared. The game started really fast leaving us all unsure whether we were the males or the females at first. No problem for MilkFish, who didn't have the skins. He saw only grunts and therefore was shooting at his team mates half the time, confusing everyone. This map was played with German rules, which means team damage on, very scary for us :) The Germans had a stable ping of <100, ours varied collectively between <100 and >1200 (!), making the game totally unplayable at times. The low lag periods never lasted long enough for us to get a grip on the map, but that's entirely PoD's merit; they were very strong there and seemed very well organized.

Total score: 177-116 for Ping of Death
Overall a very nice game that learned us a lot. Well, the first map, the second map was a bit of a circus. We hope to play them again on a weekend night when hopefully there won't be lag problems. We should all be able to play on their server then without the occasional megalags we had today.
SemperFy: "Cicatrix ruled in dm1!!!! TP was very good (first time that we used it)... Dm1, was laggy, but dm3 was stupid :-) ping was 1300..."
Bosjer: "First map was cool , our team play was pretty good , good opponents , nice map :-) , the second map however was a bit harder , shooting each other and stuff , no control over quad etc , but we couldn't play with our mighty leader semp ... ;-) so we lost."
Godsmurf: "dm1: played a bit nervously in the beginning; one time I found a PoD player hiding near the chaingun, dropped my Railgun for him and turned around again before I realised I was supposed to kill him :) Let's call it 'over-concentration' :)
dm3: uh, gave up trying to play seriously after a while: got confused with unlucky milkfish (who saw 7 identical grunts) shooting at me, didn't know what to do on the map coz SemperFy dropped out in the last minute (we were supposed to cooperate closely), the lag was untolerably high at times, and PoD ruled supreme. Should have tried harder perhaps coz during the low lag periods, I got some easy kills without pushing hard. Killed a lot of team mates too though, not used to those German rules :) But, I think the whole world should play like that, it's more realistic and requires more tactical skills."
