Only for Australians and New Zealanders

I wonder if they will have any big cash tournaments for the U.S. ?

Only for Australians and New Zealanders

**** yeah!

[Adabiviak]

...because they know American gamers will own?

(kidding). Nice! Can somebody record the gameplay, or maybe make a collage of highlights?

Yep, it should be a fun tourney. Finalists get flown to Sydney for the showdown

See you at the finals.

P.S. Direct IP for Cyberslam's demo server is "cs1.cyberslam.com.au"

More cash competitions will depend on the competitive aspects available in PREY.
Things like a competitive modification will need to be made, but I doubt that PREY will grace the competitive 1v1 or TDM scene from what I have seen of it's gameplay both in the demo and in the BETA build i have played extensivly here at WSVG Intel Summer Dallas.

The last thing prey needs is some big shot cpl players who modify maps trying to improve gameplay. I hope they stick with quake4 since they ruined that game.

A Tourney for Australians and New Zealanders only? I guess this Tournament is kinda like the special olympics of FPS. JK

If by modify maps you mean create custom maps from scratch, then yeah, I guess that would qualify as destroying them?

Creating custom content for games is the only reason that Quake 4 can even BE played. Things like item layout and competitive gameplay geometry can rarely be accomplished with a vanilla release.

Not really. Q4 was fine with the stock maps that it came with. Taking maps such as fragging yard minus the rail gun / cutting the map in half is complete trash. Let’s not forget phrantic, the rocket lamer map. Take rockets and sling them around the corner when your health is getting low. Great skill right there. Oh wait, last I heard… they don't even play those maps anymore! Once again, CPL + the pro players ruined the game customizing their maps to their own benefits.

For prey, leave the maps alone. Don't tweak/customize anything. Just because in prey I die more times to a camper with a rocket launcher doesnt mean I create identical stock maps with no RL in them and tell everyone that *THIS* is the map we use in competition because I said so

[kamikaze]

Why would what the CPL and pro players do affect you ?

It doesn't unless you're playing on the pro circuit, which obviously isn't the case. 99% of public Q4 servers run the base maps.

Take off your green tinted specs . . . .

WOW, learn how to play a game or something before you describe what you think constitutes as good and competitive gameplay. You might possibly be the worst excuse for a know-it-all that I have ever seen.

id expect a pro mod for competitive play for prey shortly after release
