Public Scrimmage Double Header! Friday 7th August 2015

This Friday, August 7th 2015 at 9pm GMT, Operations Corps along with the NCO’s of Able Company will be hosting a Public Scrimmage to the RO2 / RS community. Public Scrimmages are events where the 29th Infantry Division shows off its unique version of Realism. As a Realism Unit, we try to convey as close as possible real combat within the games we are officially involved in. This means you’re thrown in a squad and have one life to accomplish your objective, whatever that may be. This Pub Scrim, as we call them, will be on the map of Pelilu and there will be multiple rounds held to see if the American forces can successfully clear the area of Japanese resistance.

To accomplish this task, the 29th uses a custom mutator that allows us to control how long matches are, when the match goes live, which cap zones are to be opened as well as a long host of changeable game settings. If you’re interested in organized in game combat and find Realism a fun alternate to the normal territory rushes of the game, then we hope to see you on our Euro Server. If there are any questions about our server information, they can be found here: (http://forums.29th.org/discussion/301/server-infos-stats#latest) The server may be locked once the event begins, so the password will be "29th", without the quotations.

Excitingly this event will be a 'Double Header' with a Public Realism Scrimmage aimed at North American players taking place afterwards at 7pm EST. This Pub scrim will take place on the darkly atmospheric RO2 map Winterwald featuring an assault by German combat engineers against increasingly well fortified Russian positions in a fog-draped, snowy forest. Will the German counterattack succeed? Will the Soviets hold fast in their bunkers and trenches? The only way to find out is to be there and take part!

As always this pub scrim will be run by Operations Corps and other 29th ID NCOs using our custom 'matchmode' mutator allowing us almost complete control over objectives, timers, respawns and the like. These pub scrims are a great opportunity for public players to come along and experience a little of what it is like to be a member of the 29th Infantry Division, so please join us on the 29th ID Battalion Server on Friday at 7pm EST, (Come early to guarentee a spot!)

We hope to see you on the battlefield!
