This seems like an interesting thread, I'll chime in instead of doing homework
2. I hated my experience at w2z New York LAN in 2007.
TLDR - So much bad luck to get to the LAN and played 1 match and lost.
(Longer version):
It took so much just to get to the LAN, only for it to be run so terribly by TillJim. I mean I guess it ran okay, except for a few hiccups, but it was an AWFUL experience for myself. I only decided to go to the LAN 2 days before the LAN was scheduled to start. I ended up taking a bus to Toronto to meet up with Justin Lynch, then bussed again to meet up with InSaNe, where he and his girlfriend at the time were gracious enough to drive us all the way to New York. Alternator died somewhere in the state of New York, so we're stuck on the side of the road at night. By sheer chance an ex-military mechanic found us on the side of the road and boosted us a few times to get to the nearest town. Eventually installed the new part the next day and on our way we went. So we get to our ghetto ass motel in new jersey really late the night before the LAN. Wake up early, show up at the LAN, and we're told we're the 13th team, so we don't get to play. We are guaranteed 8th seed and get to play first round of playoffs against the #1 seed. That happened about 12 hours later. So I had to find shit to do for 12 hours practically by myself in New York City and avoid getting lost. Everything looks the god damn same in New York City. It's an awesome place but damn. Anyway, so fast forward to the evening. I'm getting ready to play my FIRST ever DoD match on LAN! CPL fix isn't installed. OH BOY. I'm doing donuts for days and I can't control the Thompson. I ask multiple people how to fix it, but I recieved zero help. So I say fuck it I'll play anyway. Get absolutely raped for 40 minutes on RR1 against uKz ( who went on to win the LAN. Oh yea, and I was playing with a random pug. Myself, Justin Lynch, Trigun, Windian, someone else who's alias I can't think of atm, and that person's friend, WHO NEVER PLAYED DOD BEFORE. It was awful. Then to top it all off, people AT THE LAN are telling me I'm legit and I proved to them I'm legit. I DIDN'T DO SHIT. I GOT DESTROYED, and I couldnt even control the thompson. If you've ever played with CPL mouse fix and then reformatted or got a new computer and it wasn't installed, you know what I'm talking about. So of course, once we got home, YOU'RE ALL TALKING SHIT ON GOTFRAG that I'm online and didn't do shit at LAN. FML

So yeah, my experience PLAYING DoD at w2z was AWFUL, but I admit, I really enjoyed meeting everyone that I gamed with online for years. The end!... I wrote a fuck load of text here, but I don't feel like editting it down. Hope you enjoyed reading my story about w2z... lol <3
I spent too much time on this... back to work, maybe I'll edit it later.. <3
