I know what everyone says about MLG, but how about this as a temporary solution for MLG until Battle Islands are out:

Virtual Reality


is, in fact, an instance
has 1 tower on the opposite side of the Warpgate Facility
has alot of unutilized ground

So as you already probably figured I propose


creating another instance of VR, unavailable from warp terminal
removing all the NPCs (dummies) from there
replacing the Wargate Facility with another Tower
making the new two towers - two adjoined hexes
adding 2 points for each tower (3 will be too favorable for attackers, considering the lack of exterior)
keeping the all-unlocked script
removing the infinite resources script and instead making 9 (3x3) uncapturable hexes around the map that bring +100 of each resource to whole 3 factions
adding "/mlg reset" (to reset the MLG VR to neutral), "/mlg platoon <leader name>" (to warp a platoon to MLG VR), "MLG purge" (to send all competitors away to one of the open continents) to dev console

Rules:
All the following, like selecting winning timeframe, the number of "rounds" if need be, selecting sides can easily be done by MLG representatives from there on, via the developer console.

Timetable:
What I mean to say here is that this can be done in just a week (truth be told - more like in a day without much cosmetic polishing to the added tower), but with this the next MLG report will be something more resembling the BI combat we're about to see in the nearest future. Not to mention, PSU will also be able to do some stuff like that.

TL;DR: It's an easy job to make a VR a temporary substitute to the upcoming MLG Battle Islands. See how above.



Any thoughts? Apart from "MLGOMGNO", let's keep it a thread for cybersport lovers. (Yeah, pointman, I know you're watching)

Much better than the current system....Add ns weapons only and we will be all set to do some good scrims.

Where can we find the current official rule set/T&C's written up for PS2 in MLG?
