I remember hearing small blurbs about this awhile back that they might be making this game, and then nothing new. till just recently.

Figured i'd pass the news on to me old Deathball peeps who still play or are looking for somthign to hope for in the future ...

What i saw happen was.

we had our average of 1 5v5 mixer a day near the end. and then chicken said he was gonna revive deathball ;P

and got a 2.3 server up. some ppl came back and played. the community split. some noobs didn't want to ever play 2.4 again some didn't want to play 2.3.

2.4 died out ...

I'm hopeing most teams try and play on Wed's only. but if teams can schedule for bettersuited times so be it

most NA is active for matches between 8pm and 10pm EST depends on the makeup of the team taking work schedules into concideration. for example i think most of tpwn can do 7pm-10pm any ...

I just bought a brown shirt and brown bath towel today. omg. is it cuz of deathball? ;P

i'm with goldeneye, deathball is way to focused on competitive pickup/league matches.

its impossible to get that from a pub, so in the end you end up with a mishmash of non-fun pub gaming.

thats why pubs are empty.

VO may have had its points that hurt serious players. i agree, keeping on a pub ...

If your interested in playing or checking out a deathball game get on mirc

goto irc.quakenet.org

hit up #dbpickup (euro Servers) and #db24 (North American Servers)

some ppl should prolly help you get started with playing pickup games which is mostly the only life to deathball atm

VO picks up on public servers cuz you can't just shoot the ball in right away. so even on an oddman'd game 2-3 players per team. its not just catch it and shoot it in for a goal right away.

thus it doenst feel to easy to score or to hard to save right away making it more appealing for when servers ...

Its true, a noob does see empty servers and deletes the mod.

think about it tho. pubs died out alot durring the 2.3 last leg of deathball. its not the games fault. its the communities fault

deathball is being made into its final rendition. not for the sake of the community i beleive but for the ...

I think the ability to add spin imediately following a shot or hit is a great idea.. so its almost like a mind control on the ball so to speak.

so you'd volley the ball and then hold the middlemouse button and move your mouse in the dirrection you want to curve it. that'd be pretty hot. and easy ...

we actually don't really have any pubs lol. only games we get to play are pickup games in #db24

unfortunately the promoting to spread the word of deathball in the united states for the past year or so has been pretty much non-existant.

hopefully we can get some promoting going once we know db ...

cant pick it up and just boucne?

sounds fun in a novelty kinda way. sorta like carball? :>

ahh once i fix the powersupply on my spare comp i'll give it a whirl.

If someone can tell me how you go about recording video from deathball. i'd love to make some divx videos and tutorials sometime and host them if needed to help new players.

and a promotional video as well.

Anyone like to have a go at what are some good things to keep in mind as a player in 2.4?

becides "don't hog it" I'm looking for ways that teams attempt to setup plays and why they do what they do.

in responce to camping the keeper:

the ball doesnt spawn in the ground. the other team keeper just gets possetion upon kill. so basicly the other team catches it. exploders the ball is then already in the opposing teams keepers gun ready to be passed/shot

and i'm updating my opinion

after playing ...
