New PS3 tournament/ladder/league (discussion)

[kozzm0]

Now that the "Battle for Europe" has derailed, there should be something else to replace the worthless leaderboards. I've been told there is even potential for corporate sponsorship which will provide prizes.

Whatever form it takes, I think it should be something that is relatively simple, makes the game as sim-like as possible, and rewards participation as opposed to inactivity.

I've got a few ideas and have heard some from others. This is what I'm thinking might work:

) a ladder system between 3 or 4 player teams in 3 modes: air combat, strike, capture; 2 points for a win, 1 for a tie, -1 for a loss; teams can challenge any other team at any time, as long as they don't keep playing the same opponent over and over again

or

) a league system where each team has 2 months to play 2 matches in each mode vs every other team, in a kind of "season," with requirements for playing a certain number of matches every week or 2 weeks.

) an individual league where each player does 2 matches against each other player over 2 months

or

) an individual league as part of a 3/4 player team league, with 2 players from each team doing 1-on-1 matches for a total of 4 matches, like in Davis Cup tennis.

And taking most settings, like weather, respawn time, location, planes allowed, cockpit-view/virtual view (if patch enables), and making them the host's prerogative, and each side hosts once.

plz post your ideas
