MP-Gaming - We Don't Just Talk A Good Game, We Live It!

Red Alert: A Path Beyond 2.1.1 has been released!

I have updated the server and fixed what I can of the stats without extensive testing.

If you notice any stats not updating correctly then please tell me the vehicle / infantry / building / whatever and I'll look into it. Some names may have changed but if they have do not worry, it will record it anyway and I'll just have to add it to a config file.

Currently there is no MP-Gaming mirror as I don't want Strike to get a $1,000,000 bandwidth bill but I am sure someone will upload it to Game-Maps shortly.

Before I start, I'd just like to make this available in the depths of the internet because I can vent my anger and I am sure I am not alone.

I'd like to say a big FUCK YOU to the complete shits at EA / Bioware for putting a lame release date checker on Mass Effect 3. While I now have to wait for 12 midnight, when ideally I would like to be asleep, my housemate in the next room is merrily playing away on a shitbrick 360.

And stupid companies wonder why people pirate games, films and television? Why the fuck do regional release dates continue to exist? You are the first to complain that piracy reduces your sales, well stop arsing about with these stupid regional releases!

I have actually paid you for the game and I cannot play it. Why? Is my only real question. Where is the logic?

Uh yeah so I have bagged myself 1 of 200 places working at CERN as a developer for a year. I am not sure if I am allowed to say what I will be doing as I don’t have the contract as of yet but when I do get it I’ll post more.

It hasn’t really sunk in yet to be honest and probably won’t until I am actually there working with people from Harvard, Cambridge, Oxford, MIT etc. Ironically I think there are 3 Staffordshire University students going out there, including myself. As far as I am aware this is quite a significant number and the uni seem excited about it. I have also been given permission to ditch a placement I had already secured due to the exceptional circumstances which is pretty cool of them because they don’t have to do that.

Anyway, whilst I am out there I will write a blog on MP-Gaming and disclose what I am allowed to. My day to day tasks will consist of developing applications using C++ with state of the art technology. When I say state of the art I mean it quite literally. During my video interview with a Dr of Physics I was shown a short presentation which included some hardware I have never even heard of. I won’t go into massive detail as again I don’t want to ruin it before I even start but it was the next generation of networking technology. He even laughed when I looked puzzled and explained what it was to me.

What I will be working on is something that will be released and made available as far as I have been told. It really is cutting edge and something that I have been told is impossible. This is obviously a lie and just goes to show what some lecturers actually know “COUGH”. I wish I could say directly what it is because it really is incredible.

The interview itself was really great and the questions were spot on. As for a bit of advice (I feel old now...) if anyone else goes for something like this answer the questions and give examples of where you have used it or how you would use it. This is what he said separated me from the other students he had interviewed. Apparently most students just either reeled off a load of bollocks or explained the theory behind it. Also don’t be afraid to say no, he liked that as well.

On a closing statement I really can’t believe I am going to be doing this. 3 years ago I was in a job I hated and working with retards. Compared with in a few months time I will be at probably the best placement on the planet and have a CERN reference on my CV. I would say I don’t like to brag but I’d be a liar really. I mean who wouldn’t?

Everyone wish reborn a Happy B-Day! He's hit the next stage if you know what I mean .

Don't get too drunk or you may not find your way back home and we need you here!

MP-Gaming.COM have created a Christmas map for you to play this year. It will be going on the server in the next few days, so please download it ASAP (we are trying to make use of the resource downloader that TT supports, but it's not going to too well right now).

The map was made by my friend, rrutk. He made it specifically for MP-Gaming, but I am sure he wouldn't mind it being hosted and played elsewhere, too.

The map will go in rotation for 10 minutes to start with, and see how we go from there.

Due to a bug that has been with us since 2.0 here is a list of what will and won't work:

WILL WORK

• Ranks
• Rankings

WON'T WORK

• Vehicle Stats
• Infatry Stats (Although some may work).

This will affect various other things such as the medals. There is absolutely nothing I can do to fix these problems and believe me when I say I am probably as pissed as some others.

I'll update you if we (MP-Gaming) come up with a solution or the problem is fixed.


Please note the kill messages in IRC will also appear to be rubbish. This is due to this very same issue.

I've very quickly stuck the server up with no time to test that it actually works.

If it doesn't work post here, I am late for uni for :S.

This is MP-Gaming's official release of the TeamSpeak 3 plugIn "MP-Gaming.COM Enhanced Logging" in Beta. Please note, this release is only for 64 bit installations of the client.

Enjoy!
