This LAN is going to rock with lots of good games and a couple inventive, call 'em crazy, tournaments. Battlefied 1942 go kart racing with the top three battling it out in the Air Cannon Challenge for the prize!

The BLE's first of many Triathalon Gamer Tournaments! What is that you ask? A tournament over 3 fps games that are very different from each other...points will be awarded and accumulated and the best overall wins! You will compete in a ffa survival of Ravenshield (pistols only), UT2k3 FFA DM, and Halo FFA on the Xbox! This tourney is asking for a riot of a good time!

There are tons of other tournaments and prizes! Check out our Events (http://www.bellinghamlan.com/lan_events.php?s=) page to find out more!

You'd think we'd learn our lesson...but no, of course not. :grumpy:

[ghrogels]

lesson? where?

[Itsmeee]

w00t, no lesson learned! Like summer but colder :p

btw happy 500th Ender! :p

[ghrogels]

BTW i got like 1~5 xboxers comeing depending on how much smack i lay down on them

[Jobe16]

Christ, you guys need to advertise this more, I just found out about this from my dad, brought some flyer home, hopefully I'll come, gonna spread this around to my freinds also.

[Ender]

w00t! Any suggestions you can give us on advertising we're open to!

For now we just do flyers at our sponsors and a few other places. I'm working on getting something together for everyone to use which will be continual advertisement. :) Anyways, let us know any ideas!

[Jobe16]

I printed out a few of those flyers, gonna hand em out to some people I know who could probably come. Damn, I just remembered, I'm grounded at my moms house until march 15th (for nothing else than "spending too much time on the computer") and I think its her turn to have me next weekend, I'll try and work a deal out with her, like an extra week so I can come here (so far its a 6 week grounding, lol). But I might not come just because of that, but I'll try and work around it, plus i just played paintball and used up all my cash so I'll get some from the bank. Anyways, I can advertise around this lan, try and get some local washington people from other forums to come.

[Ender]

right on. Get ungrounded and come!!! And then don't get grounded again...parties are every four weeks from now on. ;) March LAN = March 27. :)

[Jobe16]

Will we be playing Custom Raven Sheild maps? Some of them are great, like the SS clan's maps, those are all quality.

[Ender]

I actually downloaded a bunch of those for testing and yeah, we'll probably play some of them. :rup: :D

Can you post some links to some of the ones you like? I have not realy played on many custom maps for RS. The ones I have tried have not been that great.

[DiscoDave]

It's probably safe to take off the UT2k4 demo link...mayhap we should load some of these maps onto our server?

[Jobe16]

I'll look around.

[Ender]

Let wait until after this LAN to take off the 2k4 link...just in case. In the meantime, I'll get a link up to the map list. Give me a sec. :)

[Itsmeee]

Download.com (http://download.com.com/3000-7509-10262823.html?tag=pop) has UT2k4 demo download with no waits that maxes out my download speed of 162kbps.

[Jobe16]

I dl'ed Ut2k Demo, I have DC .7, Raven Sheild .53, EoD .3, BF 1.6, what other mods for BF should i get? I'll look around for some cool RVS maps and post them soon.

[Ender]

Prolly won't need to get any other mods for BF...if EoD gets played I'll be pleasantly surprised, but then, I have this craving to play classic for some reason.

The go-kart race is a mod, but you can get that at the LAN, just prior to the race. :D bwuahahaha don't worry there is a practice session. ;)

[Jobe16]

Lieberation of Caen came out for Bf1942 patch.

I play the classic when I want to play with ground troops. Most DC maps you get slaughtered by people in tanks, helos and jets if you are not in one yourself.

[Airstotle]

Much agreeance there Excessive. I to like to play the occasional ground troops only sorta like we did at the Lan with Aegeon. That was fun.

[Jobe16]

Well I'd love to play anything with Bf1942, Perhaps we should look into DesertCombatExtended, its just a fun minimod.
