PST pickup scrims Saturdays 5pm EST

[Illtempered]

Some of our outfit guys participated in the PTS pickup scrim yesterday. It was a blast and we plan on doing it every Saturday. It's mostly been setup by players from the Miller server. Everything was relaxed and fun with a bunch of cool people. They plan on doing it at least once a week on Saturdays at 5pm Eastern, and hope to expand from there to include as many people as possible.

There were roughly 40 people on, so we had about 2 squads each platoon and played tourney-style infantry matches with no MAXs, Vehicles, recon-darts, etc. We played various matches on the newly-revised Amerish. There seems to be a lot of infantry-friendly space on the new Amerish with caverns and underground-facilities.

This is the kind of thing that is great for easing people into competitive play who might otherwise be reticent to even try. It reminded me of the days of Tribes pickup-scrims. They were always a blast. Ladder was fun too, but the pickup-scrims seemed to be more consistently fun because of the relaxed attitude, but in an organized and competitive structure.
