DescriptionWhile everyone was busy theory crafting about Uprising 1.8, the fine folks from the Commando Registry were working up an event as a farewell to Uprising 1.7 and a farewell to the Commando suits as we know them. Starting from right now and lasting until the launch of Uprising 1.8, the
Commando Challenge will be taking place. The premise is very simple, whoever can record the best score from a single match as a commando during the event will receive the entirety of the grand prize, which currently sits at 101 million ISK.
And since it is widely believed there will be at least a Dropsuit Command respec in Uprising 1.8, might as well skill into the commando now so you can compete for the prize!
ScoringSo how do we determine who had the best match? Easy, we use the following equation,
Score = (Kills x 2) + (Assists x 1) + (Warpoints / 25) - (Deaths x 2)
Since a kill is 50 warpoints and an assist is 25 warpoints, this will make kills a total of 4 points, assists 2 points, deaths minus 2 points, and other little actions still contributing towards your score.
RulesIn order to qualify for the event, you must submit two pictures from the end of match screen. The first is the Battle Report, showing your kills, assists, and deaths, favorite suit, and favorite weapon. The second is the Killboard, showing your warpoints and confirming whether or not a moderator was on your team.
A moderator must be on your team to qualify. This moderator will be required to confirm the validity of your entry. Moderators can be found in the Commando Squadron channel in-game. A moderator may qualify for the event, but cannot be his own moderator. A second moderator will be required to confirm the validity of the first moderator's entry.
If performance captured with a capture card, a moderator is not needed to be in the match, as a moderator can simply watch the video and confirm.
All entries must use the Commando the entirety of the match. All entries cannot use the sniper rifle. We want people proudly toting around the Commando suit, not hiding in the red line. All entries cannot use vehicles, you must get your kills and points on foot. LAVs for transportation purposes only are fine. If entry is squad leader, entry cannot use squad orders or orbital strikes. All entries cannot be subject of a defend order.
Closing MessageWe at the Commando Registry are very excited to be hosting this event, and hope you all enjoy your time playing as Commando, even if it's just temporary and you skill out of it in Uprising 1.8. We look forward to all the posted results, great stories yet to be told here in this thread, an general insanity that will surely follow on the battlefield.
Good luck, and Godspeed!
