Introduction:
Who doesn't get tired of letting their pocket free-boom only to have them imp at 33 minutes? Or letting them boom without them having decent economy afterwards?
How about we try to give these guys a place where they can be sure they find the best booms!
In this thread you will find an overview of all the current Boom Challenges and their respective leaderboards!
Rules:
To start, participants will download and install the BoomChallengeMapPack. You will pick the correct scenario for the leaderboard you want to play for. Once this has been chosen you can choose your color, blue or red. Make sure the computer does not have the same color as yourself! Reveal map and record game should be enabled. You are NOT allowed to team the computer to abuse his teambonus! Resources should be set to standard!
Once you have played a game you think is worth uploading you can upload the recorded game to aoczone.
