Doom 2 tournament at Quakecon.

What one_Two said... That is of utmost importance. D:

I think someone mentioned it will be the XBLA version, he was probably speculating though.

To update this, latest rumor I'm hearing now is that it will in fact be Zandronum.

You're shitting me?

[Marcaek]

Someone should send them a message outlining what's considered the standard for dueling\whatever they're playing.

An actual update is that there is no update. This news was gathered a day or two after the original announcement on ESR. I believe they are still ironing out the details and honestly it's still in the air regarding what port it will be. Though it's probably safe to say Choco Doom is out of the list.

Kudos to Odamex for being selected as the source port for the tourney. I hope there will be a stream, or some of this is at least recorded. Out of curiosity, is anyone here going to attempt to make that tournament?

Edit: I'm not too sure about the map they picked for the FFA.

[Danzoa]

Fuck that I can't even go there, such a shame. I'd beat everyone too :(

Trust me, you won't by far :).

I want to go but I have no money to go to Texas. Damn it, we need a Quakecon Canada.

Hey, if it's zandronum maybe you can play internationally right? Since many players here are used to playing with an 85+ ping anyways, i do hope they would do that though, letting players connect from all over the world to join this Quakecon event.

I believe they're using Odamex, but I'm not sure. And I'm pretty sure Quakecon tournaments are only open to Quakecon attendees.

[Catastrophe]

Yes they're using odamex, and to eliminate people they're doing a DM in doom2 map13: downtown

How disappointing. Basically you camp the invul and you win

[Ivan]

Disappointing, not worth my attention to be honest.

[MrSetharoo]

I wonder why they chose Odamex...

[Catastrophe]

Disappointing?
Odamex.

It's actually an edited version of map13 so this may not be a problem.

[StrikerMan780]

Map13 is a terrible map for them to use. *sigh*. The flow and layout are both horribad for DM.

Why not Map01, or Map07 for that matter?

[Zakken]

Both map01 and map07 are probably too small for frantic FFA action.
