Longest ever twl match?

Historical capture recovered from the Wayback Machine · captured 2005-03-22 · 48 posts
Just out of curiosity what is the longest time any of you have played a match for?

My longest is 2 hours 30 minutes.

(i think of some awesome thread ideas)....
We had a 3 hour recon match filled with technical problems, and overall poor sporstmanship. The end result was the other team dropped TWL after the match.

The Main Event .::. Ði Top Shotta Kru
A 2 hour + match plus the OT vs OverRated on Sandstorm. I think if you added up all the fighting that happend throughout the match it might have been about 5 mins of actual fighting, the rest was sitting and camping.
3 hour match with NATO on sandstorm, but was a fun match. NATO won in OT

2v2 combat on river basin years ago. it was close to 3 hours. first server problems, then client problems. final score was 2-1-9
Why doesn't an abn person post...
Didn't the butchers always mention a 17 round 2v2 combat match vs "Buds" that ended 1-0?

Been a thread like this before... but yeah, my longest was about 4 hours... on CSAR...

had this 3+ hour match on tiaga, then switched to a different map after 11 out of 12 people got criticals, coupled with technical problems and personal problems. I think it was last month, then we ended up dropping the ladder anyways
3 hours mpse, thank god i didnt get to play, i was waiting not anxiously, then i remembered i had to return some dvds to blockbuster.

Just was in a 2:30 match on tuesday...
4 hour match against a good team a long while ago. Every round came down to a 1v2 or 1v1 and time ran low. As well as taking both 15 min time allowed. And there was OT too
~ 3 hours radio tower that went into OT

Had a 2v2 combat ladder match that went about 19 rounds. Took over 3 hours??? Biggest waste of time. Never again!

Fastest match was 2v2 obj on Tunnel. Took less than 10 minutes for 7 rounds (including the switch).

2v2 combat with my brother - can't remember the map but it went to OT on mout and we had 7 or 8 rounds there, was 3+ hours.
I pray to never play a match on SF Recon.
------------------------------
4+ hours vs someone a year or two ago. 6v6 or 8v8 match. Everything started on time, but we did have some technical errors, and a server crash at half. And then it was just so hard to find the last guys.
2v2 combat is the worst ladder ever created, it has nothing to do with playing the game.
4+ hour match on Radio Tower vs. ST-6 back in the day... Every time we had a setup round someone would disconnect...so annoying
Recon or Sandstorm are always long matches, except when I was playing on Chicagos team we decide to rush them (8v8) and solid snake the objectives.

x2

its horrible you just camp and camp and camp and camp while the other team does same if you're lucky 10 mins. of action and always 2+ hours downtime.

the concept of the ladder is good but maptimes should be reduced to 3 mins.

Any admins confirm?

typical Tribes 2 match was at least 1:30
Match time at 9
8:45 other team starts showing up.... wish majority of AA:O teams would do the same... start trying to connect BEFORE match time. fuck me
Get all 28 guys in server. Confirm server settings, last min bathroom break... matches would typically start with 15 mins of match time.

Then, for 30 mins, was non-stop action.

Then a 15 min break, that you actually needed..

Play second map, 30 mins.

If thrid map needed to break the tie... match would run right at 2:30

The majority of problems AA:O has with butt long match times is that teams wait until 9:10 to try to get on the server for the match that was suppose to start at 9. Then its 9:40 and your waiting on 1 guy to connect to CDC, but he doesnt have the update. Why didnt he connect to CDC at 8:45 for his 9:00 match? Then he has 15 mins to download updates, restart his comp, whatever.
