I want to say “F*** Off”, because i`m angry about theres no PK-TDM-aktivity in 3on3 or 4on4! Why not!?!?!?! Pk could be a very good game in TDM, so why theres no leage-aktivity in 3on3 or 4on4. And dont say the Net-code is too bad for it,…i played a lot 3on3 on DM_Illuminati with my friends and clan-members and it runs good and makes a lot of fun.
Maybee someone can kick the peoples Ass to open a 3on3 leage or 4on4. I build a TDM-Map in Quake-Style, i will release it next week^^,…so please try it with ur friends in 3on3 or maybee 4on4,…it brings much fun,…so look for DM_K3Angeldust ^^…i hope u enjoy it

So if there any TDM-Freaks out there (i know there are^^) please contact us for practise www.Die-Verlorenen-Seelen.de ICQ:280-169-736

*MOVED FROM MAIN NEWS*

Mortal has been busy and has created a new waypoint file for the PK++ bots, this time for DM_Absinthe. Mortal tells me that his motivation for this map was to get the bot to hop to the shotgun pillar and get the Gold Armour. Why don’t you try it out and see if he succeeded 🙂

Thanks again to Mortal for his efforts. I’m sure we all appreciate it. You can grab the file HERE. Don’t forget to grab Mortals DM_Sacred waypoint file HERE also.

The stage is set for what is shaping up to the best painkiller tournament to-date! It would seem that the CPL have learned from the mistakes of Turkey (namely lack of stable internet) and have already posted preliminary seeds, brackets, and schedule. Also judging from the pictures coming from check6s and 4Ks sites, TsN has all their equipment safely transported out to Spain and setup to hopefully give us the best coverage so far.

The Action kicks off at 6am/Midday/1pm (EST,UK,EURO) According to TsNs site. So why not head over there and check it out.

Team Sportscast Network
Working Audio/Video Streams are now up !

CPL have also been working hard to make sure seeds, brackets and schedule have all been posted.

Anyway here are the links for the CPL information

I have just arrived at the Barcelona airport, I will stand here for 1 hour because I am waiting for charlye, a PK player from Germany that will share room with me.

Once we get to the hotel and meet the players I will continue this coverage.

18:00

I have just entered the BYOC area and meet some people here, although there are not many people here already, the main players are just coming.

21:00

Almost everyone is here but SK guys, fatality and zen. They all are warming up for tomorrow. The BYOC is running smooth so far. The seeds will be ready tomorrow morning. I have to say that the “Edificio Forum” that is the building where this CPL is being held is quite big and beauty. I will upload some photos tomorrow.

It`s only 1 day left to the CPL WT Spain event in Barcelona!
I therefore took the opportunity to feel the pulse on two gamers from the swedish bootcamp, Ztrider from e-star and Radical from team VIP.

Hopefully this could give you a hint of what their expectations are and how they feel in general for the event. Other than that some general and personal questions were asked as well..

The interviews could be find on www.team-vip.se.

In order to help keep PKEURO updated with the latest and greatest Painkiller news out there, we’ve decided to open up the posting of Front page news to all members. To submit a news posting, simply login and click the add/edit News link on the right hand side bar.

We open access to the front page with certain constraints in that if we feel a news post is either irrelevant, abusive, or simply “not really that important to the community”, we reserve the right to delete or move the news post to the Minor news section on the right hand side bar.

PKEURO appreciates any news posted by our members and will try its best to make fair decisions on this subject. We look forward to your first (and hopefully many) news posts 🙂

Note, this does not mean we will be not updating the news ourselves anymore. Just that we feel it’s time to open the front page to more writers.

Mortal has kindly emailed pkeuro with a new waypoint file for PK++ bots for the DM_Sacred map. As you may be aware, along with PK++ came a new bot system allowing offline play vs computer controlled players. This system requires the use of waypoint files to lead the bot around the map. The PK++ team have not had the time to optimise the waypoint files for many of the maps we all love to play and appreciate any help provided by the public.

You can download the file (rard) provided by Mortal HERE. Let us know in the comments if you think this is an improvement on the current setup for DM_sacred.

Again, lots of thanks to Mortal for his efforts.

2v2 Open

Schedules will be out tomorrow night at around 10:00 P.M. Eastern. If you expect to play in season two, have your match reported before that time tomorrow night. For week one, were going to try sometime a bit different. This might just be for week one or it might continue for the rest of the season Itll depend on your response to the admin staff. There will be three maps this week instead of just one. The first map for this week is Meatless, the second is Cursed, and the tiebreaker will be Lukin.

After announcing in the IRC channel a little while back that I was thinking of running a 2v2 league, we now have DCs support in terms of servers which means we can kick things off a little more. I’ve posted some musings on our forums HERE. Feel free to add your thoughts. I foresee sign ups kicking off in a few weeks time (once the dust has settled on CPL Spain), with the league starting shortly afterwards.

In order to gauge interest, please reply here if you have a 2v2 team interested in participating. Bear in mind this isnt a sign up 😉

I’ll check out the servers (Jolt) once they roll to PK++, and trial them once ready for use. Only then will I open up sign ups.

Spain is just around the corner and is already shaping up to be the best pk tourney to-date.

Like the last turkey thread, post your predicted top 4 players.

If any1 gets them all correct in the right order then ill give you a kiss 😡

Today saw Rocketboy register for the CPL Spain event after rumours that he was going to attend the event. Rocketboy is most famous in the gaming world for having beaten Fatal1ty in the Doom3 $125000 Fatal1ty booth tour.

You can find the CPL registration list here:

http://www.thecpl.com/register/?page=viewtourn&eventid=11&tournid=54

and an, as yet, empty list of registered players, here:

http://www.e-life2005.com/en/torneos/painkiller/participantes

..which is the official CPL Spain website.

Fatal1ty.com ( http://fatal1ty.com/ ) has had yet another face-lift. Previously from the fiendishly fast hand-animation site, we’d seen a transition to heavily graphical version where most of the content was streaming video. Following that it was downgraded to a more simple website, which brings us to the current iteration.

Many parts of the site still seem ‘TBD’, but it is interesting to see a very different approach to professional gaming in portraying a gamer brandname.

We will see Fatal1ty competing in CPL Spain next weekend, and with the recent announcement of the MTV involvement, no doubt Fatal1ty.com will benefit from any positive coverage of the player.

You can find Fatal1ty’s website at http://www.fatal1ty.com and the site’s forum at http://forum.abit-usa.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=56

The CPL has announced a new points system for the CPL World Tour.

The CPL announces a new point system for the $1,000,0000 World Tour.
This new point system, developed in conjunction with Bill Connolly (aka Wiseguy), rewards consistent achievement over the course of the World Tour and provides bonus points for players who win a match over higher-seeded players.

Overall, the new point system will provide a more fair representation of a players performance in the CPL World Tour.

At the World Tour Finals the tour participant who accumulates the most points will be awarded $20,000 by Intel (Title Sponsor of the World Tour) as the Most Valuable Player of the league. Using this new point system, it is possible for the recipient of this $20,000 to be someone other than the World Tour champion.

Point accumulation will be the primary information used to establish seeding for each Tour Stop throughout the year.

For more information on the point system visit: http://www.cplworldtour.com/index2.php?p=standings

Tonight saw RiZe|Aim and dignitas|worre play the final of the IndeWEB ( wwww.indeweb.de ) Painkiller Challenge Cup #1. Both players are from Sweden and are bootcamping along with Tybalt. Both players reach the final having played against the likes of SK|SteLam, e-star|Ztrider, dignitas|canna and play.it|vicious to name a few.

The first map was DM_Sacred (worres map choice), which saw a tentative start by both players. Worre managed to get solid map control and rack up the frags. Despite Aims efforts, the score finished: Worre 15 – 13 Aim

The second map was DM_Absinthe (Aims map choice), which saw Worre get early control. With some impressive stake use by Worre putting stop to Aims comebacks at times. Worre finishing ten frags ahead; Final score: Worre 19 – 9 Aim

With CPL Spain only 10 days away, it will be interesting to see how these players fair there.
