BASH

Another big episode for you this week. Nabore, the captain of the CoD4 pro-gaming’s Team Pandemic and that team’s media liaison, Ted Ottey is on the program.

They of course are coming on to discuss the team’s showing at NERV #2, which was held two weeks ago.

If you have never seen or experienced CoD4 competitive gaming, or if you only play on-line and wondered what going to a LAN would be like, listening to this interview is a must.

Nabore and Ted describe their experiences in such interesting detail that, in the end, you will feel as though you were there as well.

For the hardcore competition guys out there, there’s a lot of interesting things said in this interview. In it, the guys touch on the following subjects:

- How to prepare for a LAN and what to expect. - NERV #2 highlights.

- Nabore tells us what secret-strategy he came up with against the Evil Geniuses that as he told e-Rev’s shoutcast crew, “would change the game forever”.

- Where is CoD4 competition gaming going? - Ted talks about a change in CEVO gameplay/rule-sets for season #2.

- The European LAN season. If you liked this episode, click here to subscribe to this webcast!

While we have posted all these ideas on BASHandSlash.com article:

…we thought that to augment our article, we would go out and get the straight scoop on how to create a super server from folks who have excellent track records at building clans and rocking servers.

In today’s first installment, we have asked Jazz, admin extraordinaire from the 509th tactical community to share his knowledge and experience with us.

And now here’s the interview….

This week we invite Stuart, aka “Chiblue” from Clan LOoL (Loyal Order of Ludicrum) to represent the CoD4 Tactical community and come on BASH to discuss the no Run’n Gun (No RnG) initiative.

Along with Jazz from the 509th, Chiblue is one of the founders of No RnG and as a modder, he discusses what he has been doing for that community.

One of the more interesting developments that Chiblue describes is that he has collaborated together with BASH regular {PST}*Joker to develop a toolset for tweaking CoD4 stock servers into modded Tactical (no run’n gun) servers. This collaboration is one of the best examples that we have heard of in the CoD community of “open-source” programming and co-operative sharing of code. To discuss the significance of these two modders coming together to openly swap code, we have Joker on the program as well.
