Today gaming service Jolt announced that they have launched a ladder service. Here is the announcement:Today we have launched our great new ladders service!Check out the Counter-Strike 5v5 and 2v2 ladders at the ladders@jolt website. You can also sign up there also.Many of you have asked for something like this and we decided to deliver. Nearly all popular games will be covered by this service and true to jolt's motto it's "run by gamers for gamers". You will be able to have individual accounts for 1v1 ladders or even clan accounts for team games.
Those of you who have asked us about this we will expect to see signing up right now!
In the future, we will be providing bookable servers integrated into the system for this as well so no more upsetting admins using public servers ;)

Shame about the servers though, nearly everyone says that they don't register well........ [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

they still have far too many 18 player publics running maps like office imo, which doesnt give them a good name
the nuke/train/aztec only 12 player server is good [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Lots of poor clans (who play for fun)
Lots of average clans (war conflics & flaming each other)
1-2 Top clans (who are challenged by these ^ & get tired of 'lame' clans/people)
So why isnt there a ladder dedicated only to top clans?, either UK, or Euro ladder. I think this would be a good idea, a fair majority of people take interest in top uk/foregin clans and watch the CPL HLTV's & are genually interested in clan results.
Take Barrysworld for example, i know this is a league! but my point still stands; as soon as there are wars played the ripper & co get the top division results straight on UKT & people comment. Its a craze & people always want to know who won the TopclanA match vs TopclanB match.
If jolt took this approach & only let 10 - 15 of the UK's best established & skilled clans in a ladder such as ONE,LC,Marines etc.. That would be exciting.
Look at Enemydown, who are [ANTS] ??? they are #1 , now thats amusing :E
Anyone else think a ladder dedicated to professional top UK clans would be a good idea? I think whoever does it first will be a sucess.
soz for the f*kin novel before some of u flame me. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

got it in one mate :o
The reason there are no "top" clans in any ladders anymore is that ladders, by their very nature, are inherently gay. The cb ladder used to work really well in its early years. There was no lameness, no folding and rejoin (4D) and ppl looked forward to the 1st v 2nd clashes (4k v UKLA etc). Thats all gone now and it wont ever work again. ... ahh the old days :o [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

if you guys wanna goto clanbase fine... but it helps jolt expand and bring more to the community [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

It isnt supposed to be a copy of any ladder
Bearing in mind that any ladder that we made would have been classed by some morons as a copy of ED or CB.
It makes me wonder why we even try and contribute to the UK CS scene. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

You have to play at least once a week.
Seeing that this ladder hasnt even started yet i can only see the critism coming from 1 camp...... the camp that hates ladders full stop. If you hate ladders full stop, then fine, move along. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

[ANTS]: Won 185 Lost 111
#1 clan
amusing isnt it :E
but i think a pro ladder would be the way forward still repsect for what you said "(4k v UKLA etc). Thats all gone now and it wont ever work again. ... ahh the old days :o"
why does it have to be that way if there's a ladder designed purely for them mate? however were going off the topic ;D
go jolt! lol [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Jolt want the fun clans that are genuine and play for the love of the game. I think you will find that its the 'top clan' wanabe's that cause just as much agro in flaming etc.. cos of their arogant attitudes. There are only a few clans out there that are really good clans and have an attitude to match.Its the so called l337 ppl that complain more cos they think they know everything.
And the fact that you believe that anything 'online' can be competative with pro players shows how new you are tbh the way forward is attending LANS and doing well at them thats where credability in this cs scene comes from not online play.Online play is FUN and enjoyable but its certainly not PRO or be classed as any form of basis to see how good ppl are due to cheats , cfg etc...

The only way it is an alternative to CB/ED is its name & the odd rule here & there. Why dont all 3 merge Clanjoltdown :x [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
