Greetings AusArmA community!

we'd like to catch your interest for the A&S ProMode ladder at ClanBase now open!

To get you in the right mood, check out this awesome four minute promo trailer by massrefuge:

The main intention is to provide a platform for teams to get into contact and get some good matches going.
Therefore a key part is to give teams the ability to agree on settings you like to play with most.
Finally teams and every individual are most welcome to voice their opinion and contribute to constantly improve this project.

For hardcore competitive play we plan to run mini cup tourneys in the future at http://pvpscene.tourney.cc.
This depends both on team's interest and people willing to join in to organize em.




Being a ladder you can play as much as you want as well as not play for a while. It's all up to you.




To give teams most flexibility, you can play from 4on4 up to 12on12 (default is 5on5).
The missions range from TINY, SMALL to MEDIUM and LARGE.
Any size has 12 playable lots on both sides, but you get the idea.




This means teams from all around the world can join. This includes for example teams from the US or Australia.
It is up to teams themselves to see if they can find suitable daytime and acceptable ping (< 250) for both parties for cross continent play.

If not, teams can just cancel the match. In general trying to play vs teams from the same area is recommended.




A&S ProMode is the game mode of choice. You can read extensively about it in our wiki.




The missions offer both:

• Small CQB to large scale combat.
• From infantry only to all assets ArmA has to offer.
• Very different landscape and atmosphere.

You have various missions to choose from with new mission available each week.

Mid term new missions on community made worlds to offer variety, different gameplay and a new
atmosphere will be made available.




While there are rules to follow, at the same teams can agree various aspects like
difficulty settings, mission length and several mission parameters.




Mid term the plan is to offer clientside only addon packs again.
These will be completely optional - you will be able to continue to play without!

• Various sound replacements to choose from.
• Visual: Look, UI design, special effects.
• FPS: More fluid gaming.
• Gameplay: Better animations, crosshair to name a few.

Finally a bullet point summary of what we offer you:

• 4on4 to 12on12.
• Ladder type league.

• One mission per match.
• Lower ranked team chooses the mission.
• The higher ranked is attacker first.
• And decides which side to play first (East/West).
• Both rounds together make the end result.

• 2x 10min for TINY, 2x 20min for SMALL, 2x30 min for MEDIUM and LARGE.
• Teams can agree on different mission length.

• Mission schedule to offer a set of different missions each week.
• Killmessage and scoreboard disabled, unless both teams agree otherwise.
• By default the crosshair is active and third person disabled.

• In the mid term new missions on beautiful Community Made Worlds.
• Active improvement and support of the league, missions and addon pack.

You find all important information in great detail on the ClanBase ladder overview page.
To simplify communication please add your team to the Contact of teams playing A&S ProMode,
no matter if you play to join ClanBase or not.

Please leave your thoughts in the forum. See you on the battlefield!

Need your help guys. Do you think it is worth a try to inform Aussie clans
about the ClanBase ladder in their forums or not meaningful?

Its all good Kju, the guys will read about it here!

Give us some time to discuss it and hopefully we'll get our shit together to hold some matches soon enough!

Looks great Kju!

Although you did give some links, they were hard to see/find, I usually like to scope out the website a bit and see if the tournament is going to be played like regular AAS (very fast paced, not ideal ArmA experience IMO), or more tactfully. For example I had to google clanbase, which some people won't do.

It looks great, and the presentation may not be your fault, just AusArmA forums fail at linked text, but it made something someone might brush away easier.

For those wondering, found this:

Rules: http://clanbase.ggl.com/rules.php?lid=9943
Ladder Teams Stats: http://clanbase.ggl.com/rating.php?lid=9943

As you can see its mostly foreign teams at this time, so times could be hard to sync, but Aussie tournament interest in PVP hasn't sparked properly since OCB gave a ladder a shot, but maybe its worth trying again.

EDIT: Those links may be wrong, that was a EURO previous tourny... either way only just found those links at the bottom after re-reading the announcement thread on the Clanbase forums...

Cheers guys!

Rommel at the very end there is the link called 'ClanBase ladder overview page'. Did you see that one?
It contains all relevant links in one place.

So the information you post above is outdated and from the old a2 ladder.

Even if we just battle it out between us, and leave the 4am matches to those more inclined to do that kind of thing, I think it would be worth a shot.
