In this, the seventh CoD Strat Show, we hang a left and head to CoD:WW for a little CTF action. The episode itself was an experiment of sorts. We wanted to try out a few new gadgets, like our "telestrator" (eat your heart out Madden!) and our ability to cue up movies and graphics.
In this episode we review pub-play CTF in CoD:WW's Roundhouse. We look at the map, its collision points and some basic tenets of succesful CTF; namely, RnG, Smoke and Arty.

This has been known in competitive circles for a while, but with Nabore and Prank` heading off to greener pastures, Team Pandemic has had to make some changes. Here is the team's manager Chris Lemley with the news, straight from TP's website :
If you recall last season, team Pandemic seemed to have
taken a hiatus and were rarely on playing. With word going around that
Nabore and Prank “retired” from the game, the call of duty community
labeled the team dead. Team Pandemic quickly corrected the community
with a revamped roster ready to go for the final season of CEVO-P. The
team now has added both Rob-Wiz and Limitless who at the time were
playing with Pure eSports.
The revival of Pandemic is sure to
take this final season by storm with such a talented roster. The
remnants of the Call of Duty community will without a doubt be watching
this team closely to see what surprises they have in store. I was able
to recently get in touch with Keith and he responded to the roster
changes by saying, “The new roster is great. I really enjoy playing
with everyone single one of them and we all expect to have a lot of fun
this season and hopefully win along the way. I have 100 percent
confidence in every single one of my teammates, so I believe we are
going to have an amazing season.”
Pandemic.CoD 2009/10:
 Jason "crzg" Pielemeier
 Nicolas "Nicolas" Aubin
Rob "rob-wiz" Kennedy
Steven "limitless" Kietzer
Keith "keith" Hullenaar
Competitive play this year looks like it will be all fun and very few dollars and cents. The economy is taking its toll and the pros will have to scramble to get any remuneration. I asked legendary Rob-Wiz to fill us in on why he came back to Pandemic and whether the economy would let the team travel. Here are his answers:
BS: Nice to see you returning to Pandemic (Rob played on TP in CoD2). Will you be playing CoD4 (MW2?):
Rob: CoD4 and maybe mw2, playing it by ear...
BS: What position will you be playing?
Rob: Sniper
BS: Why did you return to Pandemic?
Rob: Because these guys are good players and i like playing with them.
BS: Will you be playing in the summer lans?
Rob: Unfortunately, the economy is on the rocks. Hard to get sponsors to fund us going to the LANs, which is unfortunate cause i think we'd do very well.
BS: What's going on with ur buddies the Doctors?
Rob: They're breakin. Still waitin for a good game to come out. We may reunite in Wolfenstein in August. But if the game sucks then we probably won't compete.
The next option would be mw2 but even that isnt a sure thing.
So, we're just gonna play it by ear and see what happens. Most of the guys are pretty busy now so im unsure whats gonna happen
BS: But you're with TP right now...so a reunion would be tricky. no?
Rob: Well, currently, Pandemic will play CEVO online for fun. We discussed the possibility of me going back to the docs and we agreed that it isn't a problem.

CoD Strat Show #6: Cafe Rush mp_Strike |

This week's CoD Strat Show takes us all the way to Australia!
We have on Oz legend Jordan aka "Sensuki" who brings us the demo of his ad-hoc "all-star" team OverRated going up against the Aussie-juggernaut Team Immunity on mp_strike way back in the CGI Season 3 semi-final (October 08). The game was originally shoutcasted on Gamestah and that cast can be found here and has since become a classic.
Team Immunity: Juzz, Beast (False), Obez (the sniper), Teek, Jor (Davjr)
OverRated: Extacy, Phattz, Nancy (Jordan), MF, The One (backup sniper)
Though Overrated failed to advance against Immunity, the demo illustrates some really nice "rush" strats by both teams. In fact, I've called the episode "Cafe' Rush" after some of the 5-man rushes OverrRted made into the A-site against Immunity.
Jordan (playing under the name "Nancy") does a great job of rel-living his strats during that game.
A map of mp_strike, with placenames, can be found here.
Offense
Watch for the offense to rush down Hill and jump up on the wall outside hotel to launch nades deep into the A site. While the A-site becomes ground-zero, main street is smoked and one offensive player sets up in Shops to prevent any Main Street counter rush by the defense.
Defense
On the defense, a stubborn Team Immunity dare OverRated to stop their A-plant. Deep nades and quick penetration into Cafe' keep OverRated on their heels and forces a change in strat. Rather than meeting Immunity head on at Statue...they opt to control the A-site from outside.
