The 10v10 Rush ladder is now ready to accept teams. To register simply follow the link

We anticipate opening the ladder in 2 weeks time with the rules being added early next week. Currently the rules will be very similar to the 16v16 ladder with the exception being the rule of no mortar use.

I am sure a few teams will enjoy this format.

Oh also there will be servers for the top teams, further information to come.

Nice work from everyone involved.
I hope it will capture the imagination of a few teams and they support it.

thanks Guys, I will put it to the team and see if IPX will play.

Should be good!

Awesome stuff!!!

Nice work GA! Thanks.

Looking forward to it

Excellent

Very few teams have signed up so far.. Making me a little sad

Yeah not looking good, We shall see how it pans out.

maybe shoot an e-mail to 16v16 teams about it? I'm really excited for this ladder, I can't believe that only a few teams have signed up.

Was thinking of this the other day, Completly forgot about it, Shall do tonight!

*AUS* will be signing up soon

[HB] is in the process of throwing its hat into the ring also...

While we are a very casual group we may throw a second team into the ring if we get a few more of our members signing up. I am sure there will be enough teams for this ladder.

we shall give it a couple more weeks to get see if we have enough teams if not then we cant let these resources go to waste

I know H1I r keen. just signed us up

just signed up

good keep em coming, 10 teams would be a good start.

AIM is discussing entering presently. Shall have a definite response ASAP.

*EDIT*

AIM has registered a team. Currently getting members to sign up. But we should be good to go

10 teams!

Should be 11 in the next day or two

there have not being any rules posted yet, a ruleset might help some decide they want to play in this ladder.

+1.

Though, it has been outlined above that it'll be the same/similar rules as the Conquest ladder, with the added "no mortars" rule.

I'd be interested in how the scoring will take place. Is the score submitted at the end of each round how many M-Coms are left? If so, what if both teams have the same number of M-Coms left at the end? Or both teams make the end? Are another two rounds then required to determine a winner, or is it classified a draw?

I think one thing, too, is that I didn't even notice there was a Rush ladder until I read it here. I didn't see the thing on the other page because the Conquest ladder is up first. Perhaps a bit "RUSH" needs to be slapped across the rush image?

Rules wont be much different to CQ ladder in principal, Only difference is 10v10 and no mortar.

2 rounds, most mcoms destroyed wins, if a draw then quickest time wins.

Otherwise not much else to add.

We have a ruleset in the works which we hope should be up on the website very soon (depending on admin time alocation)

Sweet, I was wondering about that. Makes perfect sense.


*EDIT*

On second thoughts, haha, it doesn't make perfect sense. The quickest time wins? The defending team of the quickest game wins (i.e. the team that manages to eliminate the Attacking team's tickets quickest)? It's all a bit messy there, because if the attacking team wins with the quickest round, you could feasibly take the same number of M-Comms and suicide yourself to victory. Bit confusing, but I'm sure it'd all be clarified in the rules when they go up.

If a draw happens, should go to TDM Haha.

Did they havbe a Rush ladder for BC2?

And if so what were the rules like for that

No matter what there's going to be matches that end up in stalemates. Although i'd like a rule that is if both teams no dot destroy any MCOMs in both rounds, that they go another 2 rounds and try once more. Matches with 0 MCOMs destroyed may only take 15 minutes in total, so getting time to play again and have another shot at attacking would be awesome, and may change the results of some matches.

If it's 3 MCOMs and 3 MCOMs, i can see how this is a different story. Can you grab stats from the servers about the time in the round that the MCOMs were destroyed?

With ADSA's stats you can..

IT will show a increase in ticket count at the times that the 2nd of the pair are destroyed.

Here we go in my boredom I did a little looking around and found the BC2 rush ladder and its rules...

and here is the main point wih scoring

1.3 Match
Format will be 8 v 8.
Each match has a time limit of 120 minutes.
Each match consists of a pre-game warm up and 2 rounds.
The pre-game warm up is no more than 10 minutes.
Each Round will start with 50 tickets.
There will be no break between rounds.
Each team must have at least 6 eligible players on their side to start the match.
Each team must have no more than 8 eligible players connected to the server at any time.
The defending team will decide if they defend or attack in the first round.
Scoring will be 1 point for every mcom destroyed.
The Captain of the attacking team is responsible for writing “mcom down” or “mcom destroyed” into global chat, whenever a mcom is destroyed.
The team that destroys the most mcoms in the shortest time will be the winner.
If neither team can destroy a mcom the match will be replayed immediately.
The second round does not need to be played out to the end, once the attacking team has beaten the score set by the defending team in the first round or has taken less time to destroy the same mcoms.
e.g. If team A destroys 3 mcoms in the first round, Team B only needs to destroy 4 mcoms in the second round to win the match or if Team A destroys 3 mcoms in 20 minutes and Team B takes 10 minutes to destroy 3 mcoms, then Team B will be the winner and Team B will enter a score that is 1 greater than Team A, ie 4-3 using the example above.
The timer to be used is adsa_bot and can be seen in COGS channel #bc2ladder at the end of each round or at http://www.bc2stats.ws/garush/index.php.
If the match ends with the scores even and the timer with the same times; then the match will be replayed immediately.

Both Captains need to agree on the final score after the end of the match and write that agreement into global chat.

The end screen for rush games shows the time taken and number of mcoms destroyed. We will also be looking at increasing the ticket count so if zero mcoms are destroyed it will still go for a while. Which will also allow for some epic games where they go all the way as well.

Do we have a ROUGH idea of when this will start? How many teams we looking at getting before it's started?

Yeah it would be nice to get free play mode happening at least, it may even encourage more to join in.

^^^ this!

Agreed. AUS locked and loaded

+1.

While [AIM] still need quite a few players to sign up, we've enough to get some free play happening. If anything, a friendly challenge would likely cause more people to sign up (before we accepted, so they could play).

Working on it, About to go an annoy the admins about getting this happening.

There was talk about not being able to use C4 on MCOMS, I agree with this however once the patch rolls out this might change the issue of players dying then setting off charges. Will there be any rules about this?

shouldn't be a problem Kegel, one m320 or an RPG on the MCOM can destroy it.

Curious as to how far off of rules being published, and Free2Play mode being opened to everyone. If for no other reason, only half my clan has signed up to the team, and most likely won't 'rush' (excuse the pun) to do so until we have a game on.

some clarification on rules would be awesome

Rules are done just waiting on the admins to add them to the page

The new patch is going to pretty much nail a few concerns we have

New patch is only a few days away, hopefully... has been put before Microsoft and Sony for approval for console roll-out. Wee!

So when are we going LIVE?

It's in the admins hands at the moment.

Adsa:

Will we be going STRAIGHT to live, or will there be a brief free play period first?

I would like to do a 2 week warmup to make suer all is set up correct.

Sweet, sounds perfect

Chero is an admin,tell him to stop stat whoring and pull his finger out

Who the **** is chero?

Still no action from admins?
