yeah I know hahaha my bad :s

The only thing I hate about HUD is when your team mate gets killed, a crossbones marks where they died. Not sure if that happens in MW2 but I remember it happening in Cod4.

Ladder system has had a lot of work done on it recently. There's still a few little bugs to fix and a feature or two to add. Some of it will take a little getting used to but I plan on getting a FAQ or instructions/tips to using it when released. Still can't give a solid release date on it as coding is rather precarious.

Good news the ladder updates have officially entered the beta testing stage. Over the next week some of the admins will be smashing the ladders hard, attempting to break them and reporting any errors, bugs, glitches or problems in the process.

Not far now guys, not far.

Nice to hear Dazed.

Wha?

**Twilife** · 05-02-2010 06:58 PM

That entire page is being scrapped. We can't update any of it - we're just filthy ladder/forum admins

6 days have gone past... Any more news? A date?

***Dazed*** · 10-02-2010 06:39 PM

Wont be giving out dates as like previously stated we'd only be setting ourselves up for disappointment, web design is too unpredictable.

**I xLoGiKx I** · 10-02-2010 09:48 PM

been so long lol

***Dazed*** · 10-02-2010 09:54 PM

Yeah i know but i assure you it will be worth the wait in the end

**I xLoGiKx I** · 11-02-2010 06:14 AM

haha sounds good

***Dazed*** · 11-02-2010 03:00 PM

Good news, the ladder coder has a 4 day weekend this weekend so there will be a substantial amount done if not all so fingers cross he can hammer it out!

**I GooseJuice I** · 11-02-2010 05:58 PM

Sounds like a madshit weekend.

**PsYch0ticAu55ie** · 15-02-2010 07:44 PM

So has he hammered it out?

***Dazed*** · 15-02-2010 08:28 PM

unsure yet, its currently 5:28am on Monday in america so he's still got all day monday to get shit done. We'll find out tomorrow or wednesday but i'd say tomorrow for sure.

**Th3 xSaintx** · 16-02-2010 08:34 PM

annnnnnnnnd still no ladders.

**Ryano** · 16-02-2010 08:38 PM

See Saint's post above.

**zzzzz** · 16-02-2010 09:04 PM

I do reckon that we need to push away from SnD competition on GG as use have left it to late and going into ACL, i believe that everyone will push away from search to objective. Thats just my opinion.

+ SnD is shit and boring in mw2 i don't see the same spark as in cod4.

I agree, I don't mind playing SnD, But the future is objective in my opinion.

**zzzzz** · 17-02-2010 03:02 PM

I have more fun playing 4-7 rounds of SnD in ACL then i do 24 rounds in CGo.

Depends how ACL goes I guess? I honestly can't see much hope for it. CG is gonna monopolize this shit. ACL want to run their online stuff on CG and the LAN's will have bugger all attendance due to team's lack of money, dedication or travel being out of the question. On top of that, GG are struggling to keep up. I'd like to be proven wrong on all of this though.

As for gametypes, is there really a majority that want Objective to take over? Mostly I just see the same people from the same teams wanting it, plus a few others. I guess ACL's desire for Objective is to promote it and then be taken more seriously, then we'll see the growth of interest?

I'm all for providing what the community wants, but I guess I'd like to see it more justified. This is more in regards to making it the 'big' gametype with most of the prizes. I'm sure we'll definitely run an Objective ladder/league though. Ladders would be nice 'round 'bout now.

**zzzzz** · 17-02-2010 03:24 PM

I really don't see why they locked us out of using the ladders why didnt they do what cg did use this version of ladders and when the new 1 comes out convert over simple as that really.

**Twilife** · 17-02-2010 04:24 PM

The current ladder system was apparently screwed. As far as I know, they basically used the same 'file', deleted most of it then rebuilt it. Should've done it separately as it was all basically started from scratch. Can't say I'm 100% that that was their method though.

Also ladder coding in itself, is very rarely simple. I asked the obvious question to the Head GG admins "Why didn't you just get some web design firm in Melbourne to make the ladder system in a few weeks?" - simple answer, they either can't or they have no grasp of a ladder system, how it works or it's coding.

**Ryano** · 17-02-2010 05:14 PM

Whilst objective is good, ACL is running a seriously complicated competition structure - I don't understand how any team will make finals without spending a fuckload of money to travel.

There's some stuff in the works though - will be an interesting few months!

**zzzzz** · 17-02-2010 05:40 PM

Ryano i wasn't saying GG should lend a hand with ACL, which CG is trying to work on.

I was saying that 4v4 Objective is where everyone will be leading towards if ACL becomes sucessful. Perks are just more funner than being sounded whored because of the slighest noise and i can vouch that i can hear the slightest noise cause AXPro's own.

It's just my opinion i dont mind what we play but i would rather 4v4's than SnD.

***Dazed*** · 18-02-2010 08:44 PM

Okay the coder did get a lump of things done and its looking more and more complete. No ETA but we're close.

**Rohizle** · 18-02-2010 10:12 PM

He is working on our Pug system, thats why its taking so long.

**rap_2nd** · 01-03-2010 11:39 PM

Don't want to be a prick here but holy fuck! Where are the ladders?

**Excel Wazza** · 02-03-2010 04:50 PM

Great work guys.

FreQuency will definatly be playing.

**Fray Woodzy** · 02-03-2010 05:10 PM

Lol rapture, dazed is in your team just ask him.

These things take time but unfortunatly for GG they aint got much time b4 every1 gives up on it
