CEVO announces retro CoD4 tournament

Posted by Anthony Reverence C on 2010-10-08 07:20:57

CEVO announces a retro style Call of Duty 4 tournament that will cause you to reminisce about the glory days of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Before Raf1 and Promod, before MavLP and DAMN Mod, there was Bulletworm and PAM4. The original competitive mod for Call of Duty 2, originally developed by Garetjax, was carried over to Call of Duty 4 shortly after the release of the game. The competitive players that have been playing Call of Duty 4 since the dawn of modern warfare can easily recall the mod war that happened in the beginning of the game’s life in which PAM4 eventually got beaten out by Promod. This mod war was definitely a hot topic amongst the community and can be attributed for tearing the competitive community in two, but once all the smoke and dust settled, it was Promod that appeared as victor. However, two years later PAM4 is finally making its return back to the competitive scene thanks to Ian Tannehill over at the North American Cyberevolution (CEVO) league.

Think back to January of 2008 and the glory days of Call of Duty 4 where there were hundreds of teams signed up for the Cyberathlete Amateur League’s open division and the official version of PAM4 had finally been released. Think perks, stun grenades, cookable grenades, RPDs, and multi bomb. If those thoughts brought pleasant memories flooding back into your head then you will be excited to hear about CEVO’s latest Call of Duty 4 tournament entitled the CoD4 Retro Throwback Rush Tourney. No you do not have to play the matches of this tournament while wearing your Converse sneakers or ask your parents if you could wear their studded jean jackets. You just have to be willing to commit to the use of perks, be willing to play sabotage alongside search and destroy, and have an open mind when giving PAM4 one last chance.

In an effort to fill the void of the next two months prior to the release date of Call of Duty: Black Ops, CEVO has announced this throwback tournament to keep teams interested in the series and players occupied until we all can start arguing about the next game in the series. For those of you still playing Call of Duty 4 in anticipation of Black Ops you have nothing to lose by entering this free tournament hosted by the North American premiere competitive league. It is open to all teams and free to register and play. However, sign ups are limited to 32 teams and will close Monday, October 18th at midnight, so if you want a spot in this double elimination tournament then be sure to sign up and have your team ready to play on October 19th. Now this tournament will be scheduled and run a bit differently than other tournaments because it is considered a rush tournament. Matches will be on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights just to make sure you are not left sitting in your room bored during the week. Have a team? Have time to play? Looking to end Call of Duty 4 in style? Then be sure to sign up for what could be the last ever CEVO sponsored Call of Duty 4 tournament.

For full details on the event and to get signed up be sure to head over to the CEVO website.

I was referring to the start of the first season of CAL for us and the official release of PAM4, which was late December 2007 early January of 2008.

Just shows how distant we really are from America right now, CoD4 is completely dead and waiting for BO whereas Europe is planning the 2011 spring and summer lan schedule.

No one cares about your interest in playing or not. Were not trying to bring back pam4, everyone is aware that cod4 is on its last leg in North America and if Blackops isn't good then you probably wont see a North American cod scene anymore. Atleast a competitive one.

Wasn't VN going to operate in the NA community as well?, dunno, hence why I'm asking.

Coz by the look of things, NA is going down, & now faster than ever with BO on its way.

umm well lets just say pam4 worked for Americans and not for eu.. the community in cod that i am around love the idea of less mods and what not tbh i dont think we care what our friends in europe do i mean of course having the benefit of having both sides of the world playing the same mod etc would be rather amazing i dont think it is in good taste for america i mean cod4 is so boring now, while pammod was still in effect season 1 , 2 and they were the funnest times for us over the water so i think we are going to do what we want if we get the community support with this one if not lets just hope this game requires more skill than cod4 .. imo seeing as I happen to be the biggest cod2 supporter ( because i think not only was it the best cod but the best all around competition game ) i would love if BO even shot close to that play style .. their is hope in America don't count us out yet.

You can say what you want but there isn't anyone or any kind of group of people taking the step in NA to actually make a change these days for the community & to keep cod4 going... and about BO.. Don't get your hopes on it i'd say.

pam4 and the current promod are almost like 2 different games compared to today's average game releases. i liked pam4 better then most of the mods that came out along the way to what we have now. i will admit that 204/206 is probably my fav mod that has arisen from cod4.

We just wanna have fun, plus we dont' get huge support for CoD4 in NA other than CEVO :D

As other people from NA have said, we're just doing this cause CoD4 is pretty much guaranteed dead in NA after the Nerv4 LAN. And while Europe moved onto promod, and really enjoyed it, the NA community, as a whole, enjoyed pam4 much more than they enjoy the current promod, and promod in general. Like Rev said in the news post, the whole reason why we're doing this little Throwback Tourny, is to just make time pass till BO comes out. BO really is the only hope for a competitive NA community.

whats funny is that you people are raging over this tourny, but the fact is its not a competitive tourny, its not for cash, or anything. There will not be another competitive tourny w/ cash for cod4 in NA unless BO is awful, both cevo and cybergamer have announced that. This is just simply something to let people pass the time with, basically pugging/mixing with anticheat.(I know, you euros don't exactly know or understand anything about 3rd party anticheat its cool. :D)
