LONG EPIC VERSION:
Men and women of the Q1 TF world,
Rock2ober 2015 is upon us! If you’re new here, and have never heard of Rock2ober – stop reading, check out the Rock2ober FAQ, and watch the videos from last years Rock2ober 2014 Movie (part 1), and it’s spectacular sequel, Rock2ober 2014 Movie (Part 2). Ok, back?
Once again, the entire AGR playerbase all gathers at the same time, in the same place, to battle it out at the worlds biggest Q1 Team Fortress event. Whether you’re a devoted AGR Maniac, a dabbler, or if you just love your Team Fortress anyway you can get it, this is your chance to make history, and experience Rock2ober in all its Gory Glory:
32 players!
120 minutes!
16 vs 16!
ATTACKERS GO RED
ROCK2
TEAM FORTRESS
INSANITY!
The Weekly AGR Sessions have going for 7 YEARS STRAIGHT. Rock2ober 2015 will probably be a 20+ player game, but … will get crack 32? Is it possible? To make this happen, I’m once again reaching out to the wider world of TF players. Maybe you who are reading this prefer Vanilla TF, Classic CustomTF, MegaTF, CTF, or TWCTF, but for an event this big, I know all TF players, of ALL genres will want to be there. Yea, yea, AGR is ‘different’ but hey, the core idea is ‘Blue defends flag’ / ‘Red captures flag’, so anyone who has ever played Team Fortress will be up to speed in no time. So, don’t miss out on a rare opportunity to play in a 32 player game in 2015, ok? YOU can help make this happen by spreading the word about Rock2ober 2015 to EVERY Quake player you know, current and retired. First. tell them to warm up by watching the promos for Rock2ober 2010, and Rock2ober 2011. Awesome stuff, and once their blood starts pumping, tell ’em to sit right down, and feast on last years action, in the blockbuster Rock2ober 2014 Movie part1, and its bigger (and better!!?) sequel: Rock2ober 2014 Movie Part 2!!
VOICE CHAT
Traditionally, we’ve used ventrillo for voice chat during AGR games. These days however, AGR has built in voip, so use it.
DEMOS
Demos will be available for download, check www.attackersgored.com, and the AGRMania youtube channel for details to follow.
=================================
OMC’s tip: Spread the word about Rock2ober!!!
ROCK2OBER 2015 – DOWNLOADS
There will be a number of downloads, so connect to the server early!
ROCK2OBER 2015 SPECIAL PREMATCH EVENT
The pipers will be there, AND MORE!! Get in early!!
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS
Since Rock2ober will be held a week later than has been the case in years gone by, I believe daylight savings will not be an issue, I think that some changes are happening this week in Europe, anyway please check.
RESERVED SLOTS
There will be NO need to reserve your place this year. In the chance we DO get 32 players, it *probably* won’t stay at 32 for long, so just reconnect. In the REMOTE chance the server stays full, I’ll put some code that kicks people who aren’t registered, so that the true fans will not lose their spots to a tourist.
EXCUSES DESTROYED
“Ok, but I don’t have Quake anymore, and don’t know / remember where to get the client!”. Go here.
“I’m not really an AGR player” and/or “It’s been so long, I dont remember how to play!”. Go here.
“Ok, but I’m married, and my wife doesn’t approve of me playing computer games.” Go here.
Let’s make this happen people. If you love Quake1 team fortress, and you crave BIG, team-orientated, action-packed games which leave you utterly exhausted, and ecstatic and exhilarated, keep October 24th 23:00GMT free!
Looking forward to seeing you there,
OneManClan

So awesome that Sgt. Thundercok wants to come play too….lots of respect man. I love rock2! Many hours spent on that map! I’m looking forward to tomorrow!
The day before Rock2ober.
17 hours to go!!!!!!!
Dunno about anyone else but I had a fantastic time! Looking forward to some more games with the AGR guys soon =D
Cheers for letting me participate and thanks again for making it possible to play against Sgt. Thundercok on his own (Godly!) map! =]
Yea it was awesome. Thanks for participating, and remember the Weekly AGR Sessions are held every Sat and Sunday, and 23:00GMT
Yeah I was around and played a few games on the Sunday after Rock2ober (a little bit of Flib and that crazy map where you start on a ledge halfway up the tower!) but I haven’t been at my PC regularly on the weekends / able to play properly for about a month as I have a pinched nerve in my arm which makes things pretty painful! Played through the pain barrier to make it to Rock2ober and the other games that weekend but I’ll hopefully be back to normal soon and can then spend some weekends playing with you and the rest of the guys on the AGR servers! =]
