Title: Battle For The Galaxy.
Post by: BigD on May 24, 2004, 03:52:20 PM
Battle for the Galaxy is a tournament for the Natural Selection mod taken to an Epic Level. Instead of fighting independently or with a small clan-sized group, participants enlist in a massive force of Marines or Aliens composed of hundreds of players. Each player enlisted only fights on one side (alien or marine) called a "force" for the duration of the campaign, so the destiny of every player in that force rests not only on their own skill, but on the teamwork and commitment of their teammates. Individual battles take place over 12 hour marathon clashes, across multiple servers, during which hundreds of combatants enter the fray and struggle alongside their comrades for as long as they choose. When the battle is over and the smoke clears, the results from all the servers are compiled and the victors secure the region the battle represents.

The tournament incorporates a realistic command structure with Commanding Officers and Alien Leaders. By demonstrating your skill and ability to assist in a team effort, you raise yourself above your peers and become a candidate for being promoted to a leadership position: setting the stage for your climb into the ranks of the upper echelons.

Nice, I was in battle for europe for a while and then it began to cost money and I couldn't play.  I'm glad BFTG is free.

Just a thought we should all join the same side and make something like a clan with in a clan.  I joined the marines if anyone wants to be with me.

Might want to try it at the end...  Team tags will be [BG] or [M2] in front of your name..  Before all other tags.

I know the register part is because it refreshes when you enter something...Just use IE and take it slow and it should go fine.

There are people here who will not touch IE with a four foot pole (I'm not one of them) so that's not really a solution ;)

Well, Its not really a problem I can solve..  MFOTS LLC sets up the website/forums/servers and we just run them.  He change it 4-5 months ago to IE only to register.  You HAVE to use IE to register.  You cannot even continue on the form till you get on IE.  BUT after you sign up you can use anything you like.  (I use firebird).   If you can have problems please email me at bigd11041985@hotmail.com with your login email and I will pass it along to MFOTS to fix.


EDIT: I understant why people will not touch IE.. Im one of them.  BUT my love for NS overides my hate of IE so I used it for 5mins. :)

[edit] and perhaps our tag should be more like BlaqWolf.lm or the like? since it has to be in the back [/edit]
