Is anyone entering a team in the BFCL league (link in my sig!)? This kicks off soon, so you'll need to get signed up in a hurry. If anyone puts a team in and has a spare slot, I'm up for playing. Most of the 160th have too many RL commitments to be able to field our own team.

8 vs. 8? Is that right?

That just seems odd because it leaves two people out of the main squad.

Seems like 12 vs. 12 would be more appropriate.

I've often wondered why so many BF2-related competitions often involve one squad per team. I hear about 6v6 scrims and such all the time, which boggles my mind when BF2 can handle so much more. It surprises me that truly epic, 64-man competitions, or 32 even, are not mentioned as often. It kind of feels like BF2's potential gets sold short. Or maybe I'm just not looking hard enough.

Probably because the majority of clans don't have anywhere near the memberbase to field those sorts of numbers regularly.

They should team up with other clans then.

It's very very difficult just for TG to find a scrim opponent to field 32p.


A few of us have played in another external PR league that was a lot of fun. Tactical Gamer has partnered with BFLC to provide these leagues and help determine the ruleset. While smaller in nature, these games should demonstrate the TG style play.

"Support game play in a near-simulation environment. Where the focus of play would not be solely on doing what it takes to win, but doing so utilizing real-world combat strategy and tactics rather than leveraging exploits provided to players by the design of the game engine, regardless of the level of advantage, if any, it gives over the opposing team." -- Tactical Gamer Primer

I was one who played in that external PR league for only a couple of 6 vs 6 matches and it was extremely fun and very tense. So just because it's small teams doesn't mean the experience will lessen.

The 8vs8 was a mistake on their site. It is 6vs6. The 12vs12 has been shelved until we can prove that there is a demand for it. In order for this to happen, I need those people who would be willing to lead a team to step up and say it. For those who want to be part of a team, same thing, step forward and show your interest. Stepping up here also helps us figure out if we have enough to do an internal PR scrim.

Root is looking for teammates. The Irregulars are looking for teammates. Let us know quickly if this is something you wish to participate in as it will be a ton of fun!

What I've never seen in a competition that would really improve the numbers is forcing separate teams to work together. Five six-man teams could be grouped together into one team fairly well if they were able to practice beforehand.

Here's a thought. If we can get enough teams into the BFCL league, and gain match experience, we can then put a challenge out on the BFCL and PR fora to take on 32 of our finest.

Abra's league was pretty darn close to that. But we can't consider that until we have 12 six man teams.

Ten will do, if you can find two able commanders. Please note that I am not an able commander, as several squad leaders from a few maps can certainly tell you.

Sounds like your ready to sign up. As a free agent or as part of an in house squad? Also, would you consider being a leader? That's what I need to know.

I believe that the Irregs have a full 6 man team. Axis is the contact for the Irregs in the League so if you need anything from the Irregs on this, he is the man.
