Smackdown 164: The Need for Greed
Date: Sunday, May 14
Time: 7 p.m. PDT, 9 p.m. Central, 10 p.m. EDT
Game: UT2004
Gametype: Team Greed
Mutator: BonusCombos, Pinata2k4
Map: BR-Serenity

We are back to UT2004 this week and return to a mod that was used a few times back in the olden days - Greed.

Greed is fairly simple. You kill someone, they drop a coin. You pick up the coin and return it to a drop-off marker for points. You can hoard coins for more points but risk losing them all if you get offed. It's good, nutty fun.

We will be playing on teams if numbers allow, otherwise free-for-all.

You can get the non-umod (functioning) version of Greed temporarily from the Martian site here (http://martiancartel.com/files/Greed2004NoUt4mod.zip). Just unzip the files into your main UT2004 folder. The map will be posted later today (I swear!) The official Greed download page is here (http://mysterial.linuxgangster.org/Greed/downloads.htm), if ours doesn't work for some reason.

Next week will be Halo. If you wants to play, check the stickied thread for the Custom Edition, which is what we will be using.

UPDATE: Map is now set.

Our link didn't work, but I grabbed it off the official site. I am updated and ready! :)

Fixed the Martian link. Note to others: this file is too big to autodownload from the server. Don't wait until game time to get it.

Also, we will be using the chocolate chip cookie rather than the coin because everyone loves cookies.

Thanks to those who played.

We switched to BR-Serenity after DesertIsle refused to cough up two decent drop points. Don't let the scores below fool you, the games were effectively 2-1 and 2-0 (the negative score in round 2 is due to suicides, which Greed punishes for by default):
