Yea I'm already in the Olympics so I would rather play with friends. Prolly all my scores will be first attempt from here on out. I don't like playing BO1 zombies solo. When are we going to play BO2 maps? @InfestLithium you do know that Black Ops 2 exists right? :lol:

 

Indeed; however, not everyone has access to BOII at the moment so I'm holding off at least one more month. :glasses:

New contestant ViggyTheBear takes the initial lead in this month's challenge, with a whopping 30 rounds! Previous champ @andydabeast still trails behind, not letting first place out of his sight. @RequixEclipse enters the Top 3, but let's see how long he can hold for! And @DemonX31 - another newcomer - is hangin' on a thread, but still has a chance to hit the top ranks!

 

Challenge #2: No Air, No Problem

Mode: Powerless

Map: Moon

Type: Solo

Power: No

Gobblegums: No

Time Limit: N/A

Description: 

 

Before you assist in annihilating the Earth, grab your cahones by the handful and survive the undead adventure into space. Players must survive an entire match without power, and as an added twist, are not allowed to return back to Area 51 after escaping from spawn.


Rules:

  • Quick Revive is allowed, and so is whatever perk spawns in NML. All others are NOT allowed.
  • Pack-a-Punching upon spawn is acceptable.
  • Return to NMLis NOT allowed.
  • Wall weapons are allowed.
  • Gobble Gums are NOT allowed.
  • Traps are NOT allowed.
  • Mystery Box is allowed.
  • The Easter Egg quest is NOT allowed.
  • The furthest wave reached wins.

 

To keep track of participants, use this link to see each player standing. Although the current system on Challonge states that players will go up against one another, scores will actually be inputted based on highest round/score obtainable throughout each challenge. The stats on Challonge are not reflective of true scores - they are only to show how many participants have entered and what they scored in. These scores will not be reflected until the very end of the month.

 

To see the true results of each challenge, use the following link(s) below:

 

Ancient Trials May 2017 Tournament

 

This spreadsheet will display each player's scores per challenge, and also include the Top 3 slayers of the monthly tournament. Use this as your reference for overall scoring, not the Challonge brackets.

 

New update: Players are now allowed to submit their own scores on the Challonge website. This is due to an increased demand in other players wanting to see the scores of others. All scores will be corrected and reviewed upon end of the challenge week.

 

The challenge will end May 13th at 11:59 pm PST. Once finished, the next challenge will be posted the following day alongside the results of the previous mission.

Happy slaying friendos, and may the Ancients guide you through the Aether!

I thought it was just made compatible with X1? I guess I don't understand how consoles work. Seems like if you can play BO1, BO2 should be a given. 

Also, Chronicles releases in June for everyone. That would be a fantastic way to play older maps in BO3. Maybe from July onward we can use chronicles for those maps?

It is; however, I have to consider the poor Playstation players that don't have access like us PC and Xbox users have.

 

Great idea! Will definitely get into that, making every map virtually playable at that point. :smile:

Playstation people can play BO1 but not BO2? I guess I don't really need to understand. I'm just tired of playing COTD and Moon solo... In my last moon run for March I never turned on the power, can I submit that and just take the low score? haha thinking about it.

Well streaming-wise it's difficult for us console players, let alone recording. I have told people that even recording with a phone is OK, but some people would rather have decent quality versus shite quality haha. 

 

I totally get you! The next month will have things spiced up. :glasses:

 

And no, you can't use an old run haha. Sorry mate!

Had time for a game and got to 10. So I was looking to better that round earlier. It was about that time that I realize that I had to be at work in 30 minutes.  So I cry spare glass whiskey for this  fellow survivor... IMG_2347.JPG

Glad to have you back! The beauty of Zombies Chronicles is that most maps will become fully available, so that should make it easier on a lot of people.

The universe crumbles beneath the feet of our slayers, yet only one victor remains unswallowed by the blackness. Congratulations to ViggyTheBear for reigning as the May 2017 Champion at a FLAWLESS 16pts! In a close runner up, CoDz regular @RequixEclipse comes in with 2nd at 11pts, and @andydabeast continuing to show that he can easily land the Top 3 every time with 5pts! All players did well, and now we begin to move onto the next month's tournament in the wake of Zombies Chronicles!

Players will revisit the classic vibe (with a slight twist) of Zombies with extreme limitations to test their mettle. Only the worth survive.

  • All weapons are allowed.
  • Power is NOT allowed.

-----------------------------------------------

 

Also, I am very aware that the weapons are slightly different in Black Ops 3 compared to Black Ops, including mechanics such as sliding and the zombie AI; however, after much field testing, results have shown that the difference is not significant enough to disallow either game to be chosen for this challenge. Each has their own strengths/weaknesses, and will be determined as such in each recorded gameplay by the players.

 

Edit: Due to lack of support on the issue, this challenge will NOT be available to Black OPs 3.
