Is there any women going to the PAX this year, and not just the 'Frag Girls'? If so any of you good at FPS? I trying to set up a team for BF:DC, and looking for some good players. Male and Female. Anyone one up to join? Must have played; all BF expansions, CS & CS:S, and anyothers I didn't place down. I'm willing to place down some boxes Pocky and Bawls the night before, for an Lan party practice. But Some one needs to open there room for that. Anyone in?

Well, I'll be going.... and several girls from my clan (www.pmsclan.com). We're ALL good at FPS, as that is our concentration. We'll probably have close to 15 girls show up for PAX, and we're planning on giving you boys some serious competition. (:
We're holding some mini-lan tournaments in our hotel (we're staying at the Double Tree) so guys are welcome to drop by for a game or two!

I would love to have my ass handed to me by you lovely ladies!
See you there!
Well....If I can get a team together, your on.
Groovy
j/k
gosh, no they don't. and there are no girls on the internet. i don't know what you're thinking.
what the fuck is the internet?
its this place where jackasses are free to be jackasses and the whole of society is reduced to a 250 page thread about wether batman could kick spiderman's ass.
No need for a team, we could always run some FFA's.

I'll be there....
but I'll be hanging out with the gamer girls
Your on. Look me up at the Douuble Tree.
guys play games too, you know
Highfire: I'm a gamer guy. PC only. Have played all the Battlefield games (including Battlefield 2), CS, and CS:Source. Me and one of my Enemy Territory clanmates (male) are staying at the Doubletree, so if you need help filling out your roster, we'd like to stop by and try out.
PMSclan: I've never played an Xbox game, so I would love stop by and get schooled while I'm trying to find the reload button on those alien controllers.
I'd also like to see what your clan does to build teamwork.
Funny story. I've played a bit of basketball with a pretty tight knit group of guys who are all business during a tournament, but in pick-up games it always turns into a showoff contest. Here at the University of Oregon, the women's basketball team plays pickup games over the summer. The cool thing about them is that although they have the talent to display individual skills, they commit to teamwork at every opportunity. I find the same thing happens with my clanmates. In pick-up games on a pub server, everyone is honing individual skills. When tournament time comes around we are at a disadvantage because teamwork > individual skill. I don't know what it is with us guys, but it seems like teamwork is a hard thing to teach, regardless of the endeavor.
I've had the problem before, wanting to prove myself, wanting to be the best. in the end I'm honest enough with myself to admit that I'm not the best, and I do as I'm told and try to help my team to be better than the sum of its parts by working together.
Cooperation does a lot more than one might think. We've come through some matches where the other team had more skilled players, but we won because we caught them in the open, one or two at a time, trying to act the hero.
It's hard sometimes to back off when you're pretty sure of yourself, but necessary.
Anyway, I was lucky enough to watch the Frag Dolls play some matches at E3 - there teamwork is AMAZING, but they have the individual skill as well. I remember during a game of America's Army (I think), all the dolls were down except for Morgan (I can't remember her GT, rhoulette maybe?) and she killed off 4 of the other teams players and won it. Pretty cool....

Groovy.. Just pm or AIM me, before the PAX. So we can find when and where to meet, druing the PAX.
Yeah.... Hold on, I be at you house to mace you. In about 10 mins? You just wait there. Ok?
No, am not posting this for what you think, I saw some pics of PAX 04' And it was mostly guys and a few of the 'Frag Dolls'. So to hell with you and your thoughts. I was asking, to see, if there was going to be anyone that was a girl.And plays FPS. The only one I know of is my 40 year old aunt, that plays Halo. But I know none that play any PC FPS.
Hell for all I know, not saying it is true, all the girls that go to the PAX could just play MMORPGs and other games to that. So back off.
can't promise anything on the hot part though... *although my bf would beg to differ im sure*
No really. I'll probably last 5 mins and have to barf. It's NOT pretty. :-(
I wish it wasn't the case. I used to love FPSs. *sigh*
One of my gaming buddies gets so notoriously ill from FPS games that he's been stuck with the "Dr. Vertigo" nickname for years now. Thing was, only Unreal Tournament and Serious Sam gave him problems. He can handle "somewhat" realistic FPSes without a problem (Enemy Territory, Splinter Cell, FarCry,Half-Life/counterstrike).
I've been playing FPSes since Wolfenstein 3d without a problem, but I get queasy going up and down spiral staircases in-game.
So it might not be you that's the problem. Maybe it's a particular map or game.
It sucks.
Just not very well... :P
