Pegassi Oppressor Tournament


Recommended Posts

Furry_Monkey

I'm just throwing this out there to see if people would be interested, and if so how many.

 

If enough people are into the idea then I'd be happy to organise a tournament where Oppressor owners dogfight each other. I have a few ideas how it could be run, but that would depend on numbers. I'd also be happy to take video footage from the contestants and throw together a highlights video.

 

I'm not setting anything up at the minute as I think it's probably too early - this is just to discuss the idea and gauge interest. I've only actually seen a couple of other Oppressors with missiles while I've been playing, so I'm thinking that they're relatively low in number at the minute. I expect that number to rise very quickly though.

 

If it does go ahead then I'll also throw in some kind of prize. Not sure what, yet, but probably a Shark Card (most obvious choice).

 

Anyone that would be interested in taking part do shout out, and feel free to discuss ideas and suggestions, but please don't let this thread turn into a sh*t-storm, arguing about the moralities of how you use an imaginary bike in a pretend reality. There are other threads for that.

 

Thanks for reading - hope to see you all in the skies real soon :)

 

 

Edit: For clarity - Anyone can enter this, regardless of platform. All you need is an Oppressor.

My vote is in. This sounds hilariously stupid and totally awesome all at once. :lol:

 

As more people begin getting the Oppressor though, I imagine this sort of scenario will actually start to become more common in public lobbies.

Definitely. I've been seeing more and more of them each time I play.

 

Sadly there's a physics bug at the moment which means that potentially one contestant could have it a LOT easier than their opponent. If this does go ahead we're going to have to wait until it's fixed.

 

Thanks for the interest - I was beginning to think no-one would want to play :D

What's the bug?

 

 

Not sure exactly the details, but the bike feels heavier in the air. You can only do an half loop for a 180 when you're going really fast. If you try when you're slowing down then you just drop like a stone. Also, manoeuvrability is almost non-existent. I played solidly for about 8 hours on Sunday and when I went back on a couple of hours later is was like a completely different bike. I've been stuck with it ever since.

Sounds cool, though instead of spending money on shark cards as a reward, victors should get a forum medal thats says something like "top gun"

That seems more appropriate for a Lazer or Hydra tournament. Then again, that's kind of hard to do because of the explosive rounds. It'd have to be something like a contest with non-homing missiles only.

Will there be space for spectators? I mean, with thirty players per session would it all be participants or is this just going to depend on responses?

 

I was thinking of knock-out rounds or a round robin where everyone plays everyone else, and then narrow it down to quarters, semis and a final. But yeah, the number of people taking part really dictates how it's done.

 

But generally, just 2 people per round is how I pictured it, and the winners advance. There'd be room for spectators.

 

An all-out massive dogfight would be fun to watch though :D

I don't want to enter since I suck at jet griefing so would most likely suck at Oppressor Dogfighting, but I want an invite to watch it when it goes down..

I got 4 months off work after my accident so any time is good for me.

You're generally a smart dude in my opinion but you did not say which platforms can enter.

 

I play on PC and I bet I'm not included.

 

Thanks, and that was on purpose :p

 

I'm happy to help run it and try to make sure it goes smoothly, but I'll also be asking for help from other people so that we can cover all the platforms.

 

That said, I will edit the OP and add a note to state it's for anyone who can .

i don't play as much as i used to, so i guess i'm just waiting for some crunchy videos of this hihihi!! good luck and have fun gun run!!!

For your Tournament, if you don't want Cops/BS/Insurance, all you need to do is have a CEO start the Fully Loaded mission and have them get into the R2K. Once they do that, it triggers 20 minutes of no cops, no insurance charges, and no Bad Sport points. They don't have to stay in the R2K either, so they can join the Tournament :)

Good call - I didn't realise it had that effect on everyone in the session. Let's hope Rockstar don't patch it before the tournament :p
