Forum:Next Event?

So about a month ago planning started for the MW3 event. Since they take about two to three weeks to plan, I thought we could start planning now, and get another community event going in February. From what I have gathered, this would be the Call of Duty: World at War event, which was post-poned because of MW3's release. Is this a good time to plan it though? Personally I think having an event once a month would be great, but I want to see what others think about that.

A Quick Note: I never said it had to be the WaW event, but that that was supposed to be up next. Personally I would like WaW, but if theres too much trouble or not enough sign-ups, we could pick a different game.

It may be too soon to start planning yet. Conqueror of all Zombies 04:48, January 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * I disagree. When we planned the MW3 event, we were rushed in the end and had to improvise. A little head start never hurts. Also, I don't own WaW anymore, but I'd be happy to help. 04:50, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

I say we wait a while. Soon, but we wait. DarkMetroid567 06:53, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

I say we add a notice saying that those who are going to sign up and not show are just better off not signing up at all. It's fine if you forget and sleep in or something—we're all human; we all make mistakes—but when half of a team doesn't show up the rest of the team's experience is severely crippled. That's happened to me both events I've gone to, both of which I lead a team during. One guy (no hard feelings) was playing another game on Xbox Live and told me he wasn't going to come, for example. By the way, World at War is heavily infested with modders, so again I strongly urge that we have big enough teams so that we can have all-Wikian private matches. 07:04, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

I agree, we should start planning it, get a jump start on it ya know? http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/callofduty4s/images/e/e1/Work.3390563.1.sticker%2C375x360.deadpool-logo-sharp-v1.png SXe Fiend  ·  talk  http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/callofduty4s/images/e/e1/Work.3390563.1.sticker%2C375x360.deadpool-logo-sharp-v1.png 07:06, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

Ew WaW. 09:28, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

Cod4's idea in the last event's blog was in my opinion pretty good: you could only participate by signing up in this forum. Of course you could sign up until 2 hours before the start, but I think that way there wouldn't be as big number of people signing up and not coming in the event. Also, as Chia said, I suggest not WaW public matches since it's wildly infested with hackers. (If you manage to get in a game without people with godmode or the spam text on the left-hand side, at least on Xbox, you are one lucky SOAB.) 13:26, January 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * ^This. But there should be a second leader incase the leader doesn't show up. I had something pop up at the last minute, so my group didn't get to participate in the event. Conqueror of all Zombies 21:36, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

I don't think I've ever encountered hackers on PS3 WaW, but if the problem is as bad as people say it is, then I say we stick to private matches. 14:49, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

I haven't played it in a long time, but I don't think there are too many problems with the PC version other than the fact that there are like 10 patches, and if each person doesn't have them all, then they can't play. For that reason, I would be shocked if we got 2 people on the PC list, myself excluded. Shotrocket6 14:57, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

I have an idea! we can do a zombie event, every 4 players squad plays in the same map (kino, but is better Der Riese) and the squad who have passed more round is the winner BelinskiNik 16:08 January 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Too complicated and when we first discussed doing these events in the summer, I think we decided that zombies events were non-viable. 16:29, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

We could just make a CoD4 event. I'm Commander Shepard and I should go 16:09, January 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Except we were originally working backwards through the releases. We went Black Ops than MW2 and were going to do WaW but changed because of MW3's release. CoD4 would be next. Also, if you suggested it to avoid hackers, CoD4 is full of them as well, just not as full. 17:21, January 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Stick to private matches. Or, in CoD4, just play TDM and avoid S&D. I hardly see hackers in TDM. I'm Commander Shepard and I should go 17:30, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

I say we should wait a little more. The MW3 event was just some days ago... 17:26, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

WaW event...bleh.... 17:28, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

Why are we even thinking of an event? Why not just wait? DarkMetroid567 18:07, January 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, why wait? 18:32, January 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Per CoD4, I don't see why a month or a month and a half between this and the last event could be bad. 18:35, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

I don't see what's wrong with some early planning. Even if the event is, for example, 2 months from now, it gives us some breathing room. If something changes or a leader finds out they can't go, we have time to adjust. It also lets people schedule things in advance; for the MW3 event, I couldn't play much because my time was mostly booked for that day. 20:42, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

World at War is hacked to shit compared to the other games. 22:40, January 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Which is why we would try to stick to Private Matches. 23:22, January 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, but if a good bit off people bail (which usually happens) then the whole thing will be screwed over. 03:36, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

My WaW got bricked... Negative 100,000,000,000 Xp... I can't play multiplayer. >.< Either way, early planning is always good. 03:40, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Would we even have enough people for a WAW event? Carb 0Stop Censorship SOPA'd 03:41, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

How about a change because WaW has hackers everywhere and people might not show up to play... Maybe a diferent pick at a CoD game? Argorrath 03:44, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * ^ I say we pick a different game. Who said we have to go in order? 03:48, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Call of duty 4 would be nice. I haven't seen to many hackers on it. (On the xbox at least) 03:53, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe we should have a vote on which game we should do for the next event right?Argorrath 03:55, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

A Vote Then
Since their is some lack of desire to play WaW, place your vote under the correct header. MW3 is excluded, for now, because that event was just held.
 * "Some lack of desire" = a few people who would rather play a different game. If they don't want to come they don't have to. 04:01, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * But if we are going to have a community event, its only fair if we play the game most people want to play, not force them to play WaW, or like you said not attend. 04:03, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, the hackers are also a valid point, as well as how many people would actually sign up to play. A vote won't hurt. 04:03, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * To me and most people it comes down to if we have the game... Most people seem to have MW2 and BO witout WaW or MW1...Argorrath 04:04, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * @Damac: First, private matches; second, you're acting like if we don't get six groups per console that's a bad thing and the event won't be feasible. I highly doubt we'll be unable to gather enough people. 04:07, January 22, 2012 (UTC) (Edit conflict)
 * Well then what about people who don't even have the game? Or are having trouble with their game? I'm not against a WaW event, and there is no harm in at least letting people vote on what they want to play rather than forcing a WaW event on them. 04:10, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Goes wth me sadly... I sold Modern Warfare 1 a long time ago... and BO's disc for me won't work..so I either choose MW2 or WaW. 04:10, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * @Damac: I understand, and a vote is perfectly allowed if we want to decide upon something else, but my gripe about this is that we previously decided we'd rotate back game by game until we looped around and got back to the most recent game again, yet we haven't gone through one cycle of the whole process and people want to abandon the idea of events for some games for others. Through a vote we have every right to do that, but I find it just so impatient that the moment there's a slightly less popular event people want to skip it for something bigger. I don't mean to sound heartless, but if some people can't attend I'm sorry for them and that's all I really have to say. There will be more events in the future and they can attend those. I'm just a little frustrated by this. I don't mean to act like I'm here to stop the vote. 04:19, January 22, 2012 (UTC) (Edit conflict)
 * I understand, I'd probably be frustrated to if I was in the same situation. I've been looking forward to a WaW event too. 04:23, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wait. Who said we can't have another MW3 event? Just because we just had one doesn't mean we can't have one again. DarkMetroid567 06:04, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

 * 1) This. This, for the love of God, this! I'm Commander Shepard and I should go 04:04, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) I love me some CoD4, although I just prestiged in it so I could get the token. Gonna get pwned now by you high-leveled ones. 04:05, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) I'll vote for this, but whatever is decided is fine, I have all of these. 04:12, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) As much as I don't care about this event for now, it's the one I want to see. DarkMetroid567 06:03, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Call of Duty: World at War

 * 1) It's the one I want to see. 04:04, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) I've actually been looking forward to a good game without modders for a while, to be honest. 04:19, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) Chronological order and maybe us all playing private matches will change people's views of WaW. 11:36, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) Per everyone else. It's next in the original order, and I've been looking forward to playing without the cheaters/modders ruining the game. 15:43, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

 * 1) I'll put my vote for this game, most likely because alot of people still play it and so there MIGHT be less people leaving and they would come... I'll either put my vote down for MW2 or BO, but right now I'll play MW2...Argorrath 04:00, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Call of Duty: Black Ops

 * 1) It's the only one of the three I own (though I could always pick up another one if it's voted). 04:01, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) This is the only CoD other than MW3 I have sirs. That, and CoD4 for Wii. -JSolars. 10:01, January 22, 2012 (EST)
 * 3) Just feel like playing it more than others. 15:40, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) I had the most fun with this event. 15:42, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
