Since this division started it kept growing continuously and became more active step by step, and in order to that we decided to create a new ladder for this game which will hopefully end up more succesfull as our previous try with the 2vs2 ladder – which did not really work that good.
We thought about it again and about the best solution for a Modern Warfare 2 ladder, and finally decided to give it a try with a 1vs1 tournament which should be slightly more active since less members are required to keep it active. Further more this is not a TX internal tournament, this means you can invite anyone from other clans to join our ladder and take part.

We hope as many members as possible will join this ladder and keep it more active as the previous one.
There will not be a limit for your matches, you can just play against as many players as possible (maximum 2 matches against the same player in a row) against any member taking part.

Be fair and friendly! Flaming during a match is not going to be accepted and might result in a kick!

Good luck and have fun!

~WarZone staff

We’ve put a lot of effort into this to bring especially the Retail gameplay to a new level, but of course these maps are also contained in the Promod.

However, I will go straight to the change log and tell you what we’ve been working on!

The TeamXtreme War Pack does of course have more maps compared to v1, and fixed versions of previous WarPack maps, but this is not all! We also included a centerview, togglebehindview, switchgrenade 5 and throwweapon disabling properties into the WarPack!
But the very good point about this is, you can just install it in your normal (retail) Republic Commando folder into GameData and enjoy the possiblity of joining both servers, either with the anti cheat patch or without! Both in 1 game and 1 folder!

As if this would not be enough, we also included the possiblity on our TeamXtreme private server to host both kind of matches, with and without the anti cheat patch, that means you are even able to chose how your match should be played! In case every player has WarPack, go ahead and play a cheat-free match with all maps (WarPack and/or original maps), but if not everyone is having WarPack 2.0, you can also set on normal maps without the patch and everyone is able to join!

Feel the freedom of ultimate retail gameplay!

Here is a list with all the maps in the WarPack 2.0:

We hope you like and enjoy our work and we wish you a lot of fun with the TeamXtreme War Pack v2.0!

A last thing thing you should know:
If someone can not join because of the error “Promod file is not on the local machine”, the problem is not that he has not promod since it is a retail server, the problem is he has not WarPack 2.0! The file is called Promod because it was basically made for promod.

Republic Archive is the new ladder type released by TeamXtreme WarZone. Introducing the Republic Archive, we’re also starting the first Republic Commando clan ranking system ever! There are many things separating Republic Archive from other ladders and tournaments. A close study of the ladder name might clear things up.

___________________________________________________________

Players, teams, clans etc. can choose to agree with both teams at the start of the match to make it a Republic Archive match. This means the match will have to be reported in the ladder. This way, we can fill the Warzone database with the matches wich are played in the Star Wars: Republic Commando community.

This way we can keep the community alive and revive the clan competition! This is actually the main aim of this ladder, bringing some competition and battles in the clan business and creating a clan ranking! But we make also sure that our eternal clashes and epic battles will never be forgotten, since WarZone will save them all.

The Repuplic Archive is a kind of big SWRC library containing the matches wich have been played in the past. But also this will generate a clan rankings system, besides all other tournament and matches. It will have no end, it is just like a world ranking list in sports.

But there will also be tournaments and ladders as you know them from the past and present, if there is for example a tournament hosted other 2 weeks, the Republic Archive will be closed for this amount of time but the first 3 clans at the end of the other tournament/ladder will gain special XP in the Republic Archive as prize!

Ok, enough introdution so far. Read the following part to clear things up, it contains more detailed information about the RA rules and how it works.

___________________________________________________________

•What does clanbased mean?
clanbased simply means that each clan is fighting for its own honor. Every clan’s member is allowed to take part. from a private up to the leader. The team has no players maximum andmatches from 1v1 up tol 16vs16 are allowed. Challenge other clans to prove that you’re the deserved champions and earn the crown!

•Which game mode will be played?
Players choose before match start the type of game they will play. Every(!) game type and mod is allowed, from a simple 1vs1 over Teamdeathmatch, Assault, Capture the Flag, InstaGib, Conquest, Promod and so on.

•How will US vs EU matches look like?
Because of ping differences we had to create something special for this to try to make it fair. EU vs US matches will have a longer duration. This is because of the amount of battles which need to be played. There will be 2 matches played, 1 on a US server and 1 on a European server. Each match will be reported as once, they wont count together! But remember: It has to be 2 matches!

•Will there be specific rules?
This is even the most beautiful part of the Republic Archive. The rules are player picked! With bots sides are agreeing ofcourse.
For example:
TX wants to play versus MotR, They both agreed on an Republic Archive match. But they also want it to be fun so they decided to use noob weapons. Using Noob weapons in a normal match would be strictly forbidden, but since these are matches not following the usual WarZone rulesi it’s possible and just strictly for fun. They can alter the rules to make their own orginal match. Of course after, it will be reported on Warzone.
NOTICE: That both sides need to agreed on the rules and the fact it is a ‘RA’ Match.

•Any questions?

If you do not find answers there, feel free to send a WarZone Staff an e-mail or contact them on forums or threw Xfire. You can find there AIM/Xfire/Mail on the the staff page on TX WarZone. Also there is a contact list topic in the Warzone forums.

___________________________________________________________

Now there is enough said for the moment, go ahead and get your clan to the top of the ranking and make it the number one in Star Wars Republic Commando, earn the crown for your clan to officially call it the best clan in this game and avoid that anyone can doubt this!

~Have fun and play fair, TX WarZone Staff!

Have fun playing the TeamXtreme SWRC PROMOD!

“Carnival,” a large abandoned theme park that offers lots of unique vantage points that work well for all game modes. The once vibrant rides now sit idle and neglected as perfect cover points in one of the most original multiplayer locations for Modern Warfare 2.

“Fuel,” a massive oil refinery with extremely long sightlines great for medium- to long-range firefights. The spacious surroundings offer a great sniper advantage; offices, warehouses, and buildings house objectives and provide opportunity for close-range firefights.

“Trailer Park,” a medium-sized mobile estate with a maze of tight flank routes and lots of cover. Junk covered yards, deserted trailers, and debris-riddled surroundings offer intense firefights with a wide variety of vantage points and routes available.

“Strike,” a large urban desert town, excellent for medium-to-large team games. The large monument, connecting streets, and surrounding buildings offer great firefights in Team Deathmatch, and great vantage points for objective team games.

“Vacant,” a deserted Russian office complex offering a great mixture of interior and exterior combat. Long hallways with minimal cover points offer a fast escape route for potential runners, but high accuracy and fast aiming is required when advancing through this large complex.

Hello dear website visitors!

This is WarZone staff messaging again to prepare you for the next tournament starting soon.
Republic Corruption I is a clanbased Capture The Flag Ladder starting on the 12th July 2010!

To give you a short introduction into its background:

Corruption has entered the Galactic Republic! Simple clone commandos as well as the special commandos are struggling against their destiny which contains Order 66. The big clone army has been disrupted into several squads which are now fighting against eachother. A huge mess has taken the spot of where once was peace, it is up to you to chose one side, either you protect the Jedi Council or stay loyal to the Chancellor which turned out who is an evil Sith Lord called Darth Sidious. But however you will decide, the corruption will take their toll. We are looking forward to an age of darkness. Join one side and try to stay alive as long as you can, it is the only way to avoid death – for now.

The time went fast and 10 days of exciting and enthusiastic matches are over, the defenders of peace have fought full of honor and volition to defend the Galactic Republic and to defeat its enemies.
And they’ve done a good work, all the enemies of the Republic are hunted, arrested or even killed. The chancellor himself is very proud of these brave soliders and has decided to give them a special thanks!
