SWAT 4
New Ladder *update*
Whooohoooo! It's done, it's finally done! After hours, days, weeks of hot discussions, a few polls and a bit of flaming it's finally there - our new, hot, awesome, groundbreaking new ladder. All infos can be found in this news.
The new ladder will be a "3on3+"-Ladder, played in "Barricated Suspects", which means you can play 3on3, 4on4 and 5on5 there. Isn't that great? We go back to real clan-war, the highest class of professional online gaming. Check out the new ladder...

...here!





In this ladder, we try a different system to choose the maps you play:

In the beginning, we have a full mappool with all maps that can be played in Swat4. The home team (the one on the left on the matchpage) votes 1 map out of the pool, so this map won't be played in the match. Then the other team votes 2 maps out. Now, each team votes 2 maps out in turn two times, the home team can finally vote 1 map out, so only two maps of the mappool are left. So the procedure is 1-2-2-2-2-2-1. These two maps which are left have to be played in the match.

All votings have to be done via match comments!

Here is a little example:


We start with the full mappool:


A-Bomb Nightclub
Brewer County Courthouse
Children of Taronne Tenement
FairFax Residence
Foodwall Restaurant
Meat Barn Restaurant
Mt. Threshold Research Center
Northside Vending
Qwik Fuel Convenience Store
Red Library Office
Riverside Training Facility
St. Michaels Medical Center
The Wolcott Project
Victory Imports Auto Center


Team 1 (on the left side) votes St. Michaels Medical Center, so this map is out now.

FairFax Residence
Foodwall Restaurant
Meat Barn Restaurant
Mt. Threshold Research Center
Northside Vending
Qwik Fuel Convenience Store
Red Library Office

St. Michaels Medical Center
The Wolcott Project

Now Team 2 votes for Red Library Office and FairFax Residence (to prevent spawn rape :D), so these 2 are out.

:D
I think the map system sux, instead of 2 teams being 50% satisfied (when they get to choose 1 map each), is it better that no one gets the maps they want? :S
I am curious what if Team A wanna play 5on5 and Team B only 3on3? Then match will be played 4on4? ^^

You can discuss the mode via match comments till I wrote the rule about that.
And if they only got 3 players andRay?

Than they maybe have to search some new recruits? I don't care :D plus means something between 3 and 5. I think every clan could find at least 5 members to roster or not?
btw I saw at least 3 players at xfire with status "Searching clan for 3vs3+ ladder". Maybe Someone could make ESL forum topic "Players search clan" or "Clan search players" :) just idea

Or let 2 of your players wait and play next time, The ladder says 3v3 plus which should mean that 4v4, 5v5 is optional.

Correct!

Normal mode is 3on3, so you can play 4on4 or 5on5, but if you can't manage to find a teamsize, 3on3 is the mode to play.
Can we play more if its possible? 6v6 and so on?
