Okay I Went to Tokyo In Tulsa Last Year, It was Amazing
Gears of War was Great
and
Halo 3 was Sick
Why Are These Games in the "BYO" Category and not schedualed in ?
Last Year gears brought 4 or 5 teams
Gears 2 Could bring more
and Halo 3 would bring so many people out
So Who's Down On Bringing Stuff for GoW 2 ??
We have found that getting people to bring set ups for these games was like pulling teeth last year.
Ok, So theres no chance for Halo 3 or Gears 2 to be at this event ?
This is the answer. It's the first post.
All you FPS gamers, please be aware that FPS event's require lots of hardware (TV's, Consoles, Controllers...) and right now we are lacking. (unless you just want to play one on one) Since not everyone plays FPS games we can't fully create the necessary setups to support a full tournament. Last year we had a staff member who stepped up to coordinate hardware efforts** for GoW 2. So far, no one has done this, thus FPS games have been sorely neglected, and remain in BYO status.
** A "Hardware coordinator" is someone who has helped taken care of the logistics of event hardware for at least their game. This mostly includes finding enough gamers with the hardware to make an event run, and working with them to make sure it shows up at the event!!!
(Keep in mind - OKgamers is a site to network gamers and let us know when things happen. We have a volunteer staff that help at events like this simply to help get the word out about the site. We only own what we personally have, thus the 'byo' mentality.)
So with all this in mind, we hope to see you guys there!
Update!!!!!
The days and times for the tournaments are now here and all BYOC games ae subject to canceling if there are not at least 8 people signed up for them by the time they are supposed to start and if there is not any hardware for the game.
