THANK YOU EVERYONE for making War2USA’s Christmas Party Special Event AWESOME!!! Last night was a fantastic success, and we definitely got the record number of users logging into our server to play tonight!! Also would like to thank Moriouce and FrostyInsanity for their new Christmas themed maps “Christmas Time” and “Poinsettia” which we played tonight, some of each. What a great night. SOOOO many players!! Many on voice chat too! And we got a BRAND NEW PLAYER, Baxus, WELCOME!!! =)

Take a look and if you haven’t already, do follow War2USA’s Twitch channel so you don’t miss any of the fun!

Here is a list of the players from last night. There were a bunch of smurfs also but I’m gonna assume they are the players below. But maybe there were even more than we know about.

Snoopy if you weren’t a smurf, sorry for not adding you! I think you were, though!
5 SophieTurners and several Jokers I’m pretty sure were above players smurfing

The night couldn’t have gone better! It was super fun and everyone was just having a great time playing the best game ever made!

Merry Christmas to everyone!!

GAME ON~!

Kurtz shared tonight (was Dec. 13th, 2019 but I stayed up past midnight!) that he found a receipt dated Dec. 13, 1999 for Warcraft 2!

CaptainKurtz celebrated his 20 year anniversary of playing the best game ever made and shared this sweet picture and note with our community!

I remember CaptainKurtz from half a lifetime when I was a teenager and even back then he hosted “High Seas Rumble”, which he also did a few hours ago on his 20th anniversary of playing Warcraft 2.

Thank you for your kind words and lovely note, Kurtz. It means a lot that you are finding peace and enjoyment with all of us at War2USA.

I’m glad you made War2USA your Warcraft 2 home and look forward to many great games to come! Don’t feel bad about tonight, I purposely stacked the teams for the away team since I know like me, you enjoy a challenge. 🙂

I would like to thank all the players who took part in today’s tournament! The versatility of players was tested as players were met with small maps, big maps, land maps, water maps, high res, low res, hybrid maps, and constantly changing allies! To top it off, an FFA was thrown in at the end!

Not all W2 players are brave enough to play an assortment of brand new maps in a competition, so kudos to those who were! We also met a number of players new to War2USA server, so welcome!

Our 3 remarkably versatile finalists who took 3 points each over the 5 map series were Ragner, Rebelrouser, and Nedro.

Due to time constraints on a player needing to leave soon, rather than 1sing out the finalists, we went with a 3 way FFA (which both added another layer of versatility testing, and added more of a luck element to this fun-level tournament) to determine the winner.

The tournament winner is Nedro. Congratulations, Nedro!

Moriouce is War2USA’s Mapmaker of the Year 2019. He made over 50 dazzling, creative and unique masterpieces for the game we love, Warcraft 2. You can view gorgeous images of the Moriouce Collection. This fun 2v2 Tournament will feature some of these beautiful maps.

Even though you play in teams of 2, the way it works is this:

Each game will be on a different map and with changing allies to maximize the variation of challenges in the quest to find the most versatile Warcraft 2 Player playing in 2019.

Each game won earns each member of the winning team 1 point. There will be 5 games. Whichever player earns the most of 5 points possible will win if there is no tie. If there is a tie, the tied players will play a final match to break the tie to decide the winner.

Game 1 (Small Land Map)
Player 1/2 and 5/6 teams choose Game 1 Map from Blood in the Arctic, Four is a Crowd, and Rift Valley
Game 2 (Medium Land Map)
Player 1/3 and 5/7 teams choose Game 2 Map from 8th Lake, Warmongers, and Valley
Game 3 (Hybrid Map)
Choose Game 3 Map from Aegirs Ford, Mystic Clover, and Frozen Shores
Game 4 (Water Map)
Choose Game 4 Map from Anniversary, Thule Atoll, and Islands of War
Game 5 (Big Land Map)
Choose Game 5 Map from Thread of Destiny, Swamp Blossom, and Pain on the Plain

(Pictures coming to this post soon)

Alliances for Game 1 will be assigned in order of arrival. Player 1 + Player 2, 3+4 etc.
For Game 2, the allies will swap to Player 1+3 vs Player 2+4
For Game 3, allies will again be assigned in order of arrival to channel, skipping any ally you were previously allied to. If a player leaves, you will be reassigned the next available ally.
PLAYERS MAY ENTER BEFORE ANY ROUND** You probably won’t win if you don’t arrive in time for the first game, but people showing up late can be added because of revolving random allies format, which is part of the reason it’s being done this way. It gives flexibility you don’t have to worry about with pre-registered no-shows.
If odd numbers show up, which is likely, some players may have to sit some rounds. In general, players will be assigned to teams in order of arrival in channel with some flexibility to avoid re-allying the same person repeatedly.

RULES:
1. You can enter this tournament before any Game in case you can’t make it for 2 but still want to participate. You most likely won’t win since others will be ahead in points, but you can still play.
2. No hacking or cheating. SS must be provided upon request.
3. War2USA Code of Conduct is in effect.
4. Players not abiding by the rules will be eliminated.

This post will be updated soon with map pictures.

If we don’t get even numbers of players in groups of 4 for 2’s, if two players are left out alone, they will be allowed to 1s for that round and have it count for a Game Point.

The goal is to have a great time playing many new maps with unique layouts and challenges, land, water, and hybrid, various sizes, playing with different allies of different levels, and compete to find out who is the MOST VERSATILE WARCRAFT 2 PLAYER in 2019.

If there is a tie at the end, and more than 1 player has the same number of Game Points, they will fight each other to break the tie.

Come join us Sunday, December 8th at 2 pm EST for this special event enjoying the game we all love, Warcraft 2.

I am happy to report that we have surpassed our 50 new player goal for 2019!! This includes only players that we did NOT see in 2018. So 50 NEW to War2USA players since January 2019! And we got more than 50 already halfway through November a month and a half before the end of the year!!

There were plenty more people that logged on who didn’t play, but I did not count players who only logged on, but counted only players that actually played. I believe each of these names is a unique individual, no repeats, and was careful to not include known smurf names of previous users. I also very likely missed a good number of players, so the actual number is higher than the ones I remembered to record.

Visit the War2USA forum for more details.

I want to thank each of you for playing on War2USA and contributing to making War2USA the best Warcraft 2 server on earth!!

Game on.

Stay tuned for more details coming soon!

Plan to meet everyone on the exhilarating War2USA battlefield Sunday December 8th!

Special thanks to Moriouce for sharing all his maps with us!
