[DISCLAIMER: Ok, the intro to this weeks pre-match info e-bulletin/post/newsletter thingy made a lot more sense when I thought this Sundays session was held on July 4th (which it *is* Australia time), but 22:00 GMT Sunday is the 3rd, anyway, I assume US patriots will celebrate on Sunday (?) so, the following still applies so … let us proceed..]
[DISCLAIMER 2: Update!: Just realised that Monday the 4th is a holiday in the USA, so *that’s* when the festivities will happen; so this renders my intro an obsolete, but hopefully entertaining insight into OMCs ‘knowledge’ of the USA. At least I’ve heard of 4th of July ok? 🙂 anyway – to the business at hand:]
Hey people!!
A happy 4th of July for those who support the mighty USA. For those who don’t, there’s no better way to express your disgust at the US imperialists by boycotting all celebrations, and spending Sunday playing at this weeks Session. For those who *are* loyal to the USA, those fine folk who love your country, you need a way to celebrate your great nation. The makers of Quake, Id software are from the USA, the AGR server is *in* the USA, so you could describe Quake as an ‘American’ game. Even Australia (where OMC resides) is a loyal ally of the US, fighting side by side. Therefore there’s no better way to express your patriotism, than by participating in that all American Institute of Insurgents we all know as the:
What: Weekly AGR Session
Where: tastyspleen.net:26666

AGR VENTRILLO SERVER
78.129.193.9, port 4298, AGR (Red+Blue) channels.
DEMOS
Thanks to Sapphired, this Session (and previous ones) will be available for download here.
=================================
OMC’s tip: Kevlar is powerful in AGR, so theres no excuse to be owned by a sniper. Conversely any sniper who can kick arse in AGR is a true, certified Guru player.
AGR3 CODING CHANGES
A minor update to AGR is on the way. Nothing that will really affect gameplay, mainly visual affects, improved AI for Grunties, some bug fixes, and general fine tuning/ finesse stuff. I’m excited because most of this stuff hasn’t been tried before, and imho really makes a lot of sense. It probably wont be ready for this week, next week.. maybe.. details to follow.
See you all Sunday!

Due that prev session annonced as spamadelic, i detted our RR in order to stop the enemy, i was sure its spamadelic and got “Sapp, fuck off you detting teammates” WTF? No need to make 1st two maps spamadelic mode i guess.
Nevertheless i propose alternative map choice:
1. catz (premiere) – extremely oroiginal and good map, not saying about texture choice. Small and seems like playable. Good for 4 vs 4, good as 1st map (http://high-engi.com/catz.bsp)
2. 2brave1 – yes
3. May be lets play some caverns?
4. ok
I really dont like engbat map, so if it will be placed as 1st map. i’l spec it.
See you on Sundays
catz crashed the server when I tested it.. “Load failed on critical model”..
I’m cool with caverns as map3, lets see how many people we get. If we get enough people at 22:00 GMT I’ll put 2fort5 as map 1, and caverns as game3.
Also why dont we play demoz3a any more? We played it only once
demoz3 is (imho) one big confusing maze. If you want to vote it up after game 4, I’ll vote yes, but I really don’t want to risk wasting a scheduled map on ppl trying to figure out where they are.
ok, that sounds truely.
OMC, how much i need to pay you to put territory.bsp as session map when many ppl are on the server? $10 is ok?
box2 or box3 would make a good starter map. the packs do not give out type 2 grenades though. 🙁
yes, itermission map is nasty dark map.
i propose bedlam12 for intermission map or any with silent rooms and not darky
Where are the podcasts?
TL;DR!
1. (an engbat map) (50 minutes*)
skipped map
2. 2brave1 (60 minutes*)
action: 8/10
teamwork: 5/10
players: 8 vs 8
was cool
3. 2fort5r (60 minutes*)
action: 6/10
teamwork: 6/10
players: 8 vs 8
good match, lot of spiral action and lift red escapes.
4. ditch2 (60 minutes*)
action: 6/10
teamwork: 5/10
players: 5 vs 5

2fort5 had some excellent moments, totally a GG, and 2brave1 was good in parts, ditch ‘ok’ though (imho) lacking in teamwork.
