theres normally a gap between when the game comes out and the first tourneys coz you have to form teams and get used to the game.
im guessing itll be objective based gametypes rather than sharpshooter as it tends to be a campfest, right kon? didnt play V1 competitively so dont really know

i thought it might be retrieval or something.
But there's new game modes so you'll just have to wait. Because you also have to decide most Even maps and everything and the rules

The Team Survival tournament would have been fine if it wasn't for one silly rule, to win you had to wipe out the whole enemy team so what all the top teams did was wait until there was a minute left on the game timer and rush with 3 people leaving one guy hiding in a random corner of the map incase their rush failed. If the 3 people got killed then the other team (who are 3-0 up by that point) had to rush into the enemy base and find the final player, playing that for over 5 hours having to replay the round over and over again because you couldn't find where the other team were hiding their 4th player quick enough wasn't fun.
Team sharpshooter takes even less skill than Team Survival, the first team to camp the enemy spawn wins practically everytime.
Retrieval is the most competitive gametype IMO, you can actually use strats and there is little camping as it is played at a faster pace.
EDIT: The specially made MLG maps are fully symetrical i believe from the videos ive seen of them, they would proberly be the best competitive map, only problem is your have to download them with a 'pre-order from Gamestop' code which i believe is only available for America and Canada. Hopefully it's just one code that everyone can use.
Rumor has it the MLG map is just a MLG skin put onto a default map, so it should still be ok to use.

team leader cud be tactical from the little bits ive played of it but im sure teams will find strats that are really annoying and 'noobish' so that no one will want to, not that i care as i dont like it and wont be playing it anyway.

team leader or total conquest are ok but theres still some camping in there. i havnt played too much A&D yet though. Can anyone recommend some good maps foe A&D?
I didnt play much V1 tournys but i know they were usually 4v4. Is V2 gonna be 4v4 or 5v5?

Attack and Defend is basically Search And Destroy of COD4 but with a maximum of 3 Respawns which IMO kind of made it worse.
Team leader only the leader can camp really and i havent seen much of that because of grenades and C4's.
Total Conquest i cant get a decent match because everyone is boosting they're rank
And the MLG map just go to Extra's go to Comcast event and type in
Comcast Faster
Should work then it unlocks it for you :p

A&D one respawn like S&D on cod 5v5 imo.

Yea but that respawn on Attack and Defend IMO made it crap.
Thats not rainbow's Attack and defend i used to play on Calypso casino.
So Team leader is the way to go.
More tatical and protect the leader.

attack and defend on vegas 1 was WAY more fun with no respawns (unless you wanted to rank). It was like S&D is on COD4 except you had to get in and out.
I dont really like A&D n V2 though. i cant find a map well suited to the game type

Team leader would be the worse type of tournament IMO, will be just like the R6V1 tournament requiring less skill as you can see where the leader is.

Whcih takes more team work?
Because you know where the leader is and you go to kill him but he's got people around him.
May make it campy buton the right maps its brilliant.

lol i dont think hide and seek is a skill. coz thats all it would be without the leaders seeing each other.
Team leader is good but would be better if you could limit the number of respawns. It can turn into a frag fest sometimes with unlimited (hence why i always restrict explosives when i host).

Well ill have to try today sometime :p

Why? I'd rather the EU community chose what they want to do rather than doing MLG rules.. Halo now as XL3/4 rules and so shouldn't Rainbow.
It's either got to be:
Team Survival
Team Sharpshooter
Sharpshooter (seperate)
:cool:

Team Survival and Team Deathmatch are the worst 2 game types going. unless you enjoy camping.
Objective based game types are the way forward on games like rainbow and COD
