Hypefestation 3 Announced!
Updated: April 25, 2013
Hypefestation 3 was announced yesterday on Active Reload! However, the only information we were able to provide was that it will be held in Raleigh, NC and it will be the weekend of August 2nd, 2013. Keep checking back in for updates as they develop.
FatalStryke completed the wishlist of feedback and sent it to Epic Games. Now that the wishlist is finished, we can focus on our rule sets and map swaps. We've updated the favored Beta settings on the Gametypes and Settings tab. Take a look and let us know what you think.
The newest changes are the addition of the "Call to Arms" DLC content. Boneyard Execution and Blood Drive Domination weapon swaps have been added. Also, frag grenades as starting load out grenades have been removed from Domination.
PLAYER PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT
Hypefestation as a gaming media production platform, highly encourages competitive players to put their personalities on display. We believe it is healthy for any competitive community to have very distinguished and vibrant characters. Hypefestation wants to spotlight our lively gamers but we expect a certain degree of professionalism if we will be highlighting our players. Having good competitive role models is what will help our community grow exponentially and this conduct will attract more sponsors in the future so that we may hold more competitive and community events.
We still understand that as much as our community members will try to uphold good reputable and colorful behavior, there will still be unruly characters that will bring the community down. We are prepared to enforce a set of rules and behavioral conduct so that none of the community members suffer. Below is a set of guidelines first and then rules if you would like to associate with the Hypefestation competitive community.
Guidelines
- We want our players to completely display their personalities, character, and emotions while competiting. We encourage emotional positive and negative outbursts because it's entertaining and includes players and spectators in the experience. However, do NOT target anyone with personal verbal or physical attacks.
- Express your feelings and emotions through the game, game play, and game play elements. Targeted personal verbal assaults or physical assaults do nothing to enhance the show experience.
- We understand profanity is heavily used in gamer vocabulary and it may be very difficult for players to not use profane language during high intensity moments. We do not mind these outbursts. We do however mind the time it takes to think of a personal verbal assault or say something directly offensive to groups of people. Show your emotions but don't offend others through direct attacks or excessive usage.
- At times Hypefestation will listen in to your team chatter for the entertainment of our audience. Always speak to your teammates as if everyone was listening to you at all times.
Rules
- The words "rape", "fag" (and any denomination of) and "nigger" (or any other denomination of) are STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Usage of these words will have you warned and removed from an event, online or LAN. While in the presence of potential Hypefestation community members, their live stream chats, or the LAN events we attend, warnings will be issued and continued use of these words will have you removed or banned from the particular event.
- Individuals indulging in over excessive use of profanity beyond emotional outbursts will be warned and then removed from LAN events, live stream chats, or voice communications on display to the public.
- PHYSICAL ASSAULT will NOT be tolerated at a Hypefestation event and individuals will be removed and banned immediately from the live event.
- Racist and sexist remarks will not be tolerated. A warning will be issued followed by removal from live stream chats, LAN events, and voice communications on display to the public.
