== 22nd Century Warfare Tournament==
22nd Century Warfare is one
of the largest online leagues currently for the game Battlefield
2142. Designed to simulate a structured but changing combat
environment and also to simulate the European Union and Pan Asian
Coalition's war for the remaining habitable sites on Earth. 22CW is
different from other online tournaments in that instead of clans
battling against one another the battles are part of a larger
virtual war. The divisions consist of players who are randomly
assigned when they sign up.
About the Tournament
In
the 22nd Tournament, there is a chain of command. All new players
start off as a Rec. The Tournament has their own mod and Teamspeak
servers along with Battle servers. Battles take place every Friday
and Saturday. The mod brings new weapons and vehicles and maps. EA
supports the clan and backs them up
Structure Of The
Tournament
At the highest level the tournament consists of
two sides, European Union and Pan Asian Coalition. Currently in the
BF2142 tournament the EU plays as the EU, with the EU equipment
while the PAC plays on the PAC side, with the PAC equipment.
Varying with the number of players per campaign there is currently
one division per side:
19UK The 19th UK are lead by Supreme
Commander Hawkins, who has lead them to several victories over the
63rd AP. As the name suggests, the 19th are primarily composed of
soldiers from England, but also include soldiers from Scotland,
Ireland, Wales and several other smaller detachements from
locations like France and Germany.
Notable Troopers include;
Supreme Commander Hawkins Others 63AP Lead by Supreme
Commander "Boogydown" (a codename that may or may not be based
around his supposed habits for dancing, primarily used to confuse
EU spies), the 63rd AP are some of the PAC's veteran forces, but
somehow remain in rearguard duty. They seem to be suffering from
depleted numbers as of late, which may be a cause for concern.
Notable Troopers include;

The Mod
The 22nd Century Warfare Mod is one of
the unique features of 22CW; the tournament has its own team of
developers who have developed a mod for Battlefield 2142 to better
fit the needs of the tournament. The mod changes are things such as
balance issues, weapon editions, vehicle editions, custom maps and
other things. The ultimate goal of the mod is to expand the game
while keeping it fair and balanced.
Equipment 22CW makes a
considerable amount of changes to weaponry, bringing them in line
with modern calibers in most cases, and modifying them to be more
(or less) effective in certain combat situations. It also plans to
introduce new items of equipment - including a jet pack
Vehicles 22CW makes several changes to the vehicles, and yet
more changes are in the works. Eventually, it even plans to
introduce entirely new vehicles - these include bombers and
fighters.
Communication
22CW uses many different ways
to communicate, officially Teamspeak and forums are used,
unofficially many people use GameComm, Xfire, MSN Messenger or IRC.
In-game communication is also critical to combat operations. Troops
can communicate via text to their entire team or to their local
squad. Pre-set vocal radio messages in Battlefield 2142 also allow
players to point out the location of enemy troops, armour, aircraft
and virtually any other pertinent information succinctly without
cluttering up the voice channel over Teamspeak.
Teamspeak Teamspeak is used mainly to communicate while
playing in battles, practices or during practices. It is also used
for meetings of the Tournament Admins (TA) or divisional staff. The
Teamspeak server is divided into a hierarchy, each division gets
their own section, within their section it is split up with
sections for companies, company COs, and divisional staff. In
addition, the mod team, the tournament news team, TAs, and other
games get their own sections. Players can also bind keys to whisper
to specific players, squads or groups of squads.
Forums Much
like Teamspeak, the 22nd Century Warfare Forums are used for
communication, but because forum posts can be read anytime, it is
useful for posting announcements, news, and other useful
information which may need to be accessed at varying times. Again
like Teamspeak, the forums have sections for each division and
their respective companies. In addition there are forums such as
the mess hall, the public forums, and the announcements forum.
