Hi Everyone, In the upcoming Respawn V17 I will be running the fun competitions. So I come to you, our dedicated player base to find out what games you would like to play, what changes you would like to make. And any other of your amazing ideas we can claim as our own. Firstly, we are deciding between hourly comps every hour and a half. I will configure these before hand so we will have times and a nice list before the lan so you can practice your pro skills. They will alternate with AFK comps so you should not miss out on too much and I will try to keep the most popular games away from the pro comp times. The servers will be running for the whole lan however, so when the comp is over keep beating your friends! The last lan had funcomps run for 15 minutes each, what do you think of this time limit, too long or short or maybe it should vary for each game, any thoughts you would enjoy sharing on that? I am trying to keep retail games to a minimum, free/demo or games that most people own are best. So I would really appreciate if the suggestions for awesome fun games are mostly free ones you know about (or maybe made). Now my current thinking for game list is as follows. Yes- TF2 Dodgeball
- CS:S Free For All
- BF2 Demo
- Altitude FFA
- Tron
- Trackmania
- Babo Violent 2
- CoD4 GunGame
- Warsow
- Soldat
Maybe- bzflag
- halo1 demo
- Golden Eye Source
- Plain Sight
What do our players think? |

I think that the times should vary, mainly because some games may take longer than 15 minutes to complete. FlatOut 2 for example could take 20-30 minutes, depending on what options are selected. Having the fun comp servers running for the entire time of the event is a great idea, saves the need for gamers to keep coming up to squid requesting servers for games mentioned in your list.. Of course, there will always be requests for servers for other games, but that is to be expected.

FlatOut 2 for example could take 20-30 minutes, depending on what options are selected. Flatout 2 doesnt really fit as a "funcomp" due to it requiring heats and a final. This is one of the reasons why i run it as a major comp  Funcomps as omni has pointed out are usually free games, or games that a majority of the playerbase own, that are easy to get into/easy to run. This way we get maximum fun with limited hassle
