| Topic: TakeDown Release Party
Date and Time:
20th, 21st and 22nd September, time for each day is flexible
Classification:
public, everyone is welcome
Organizer:
Raptor
Requirements to join:
- finish the in-game tutorial and training missions to get familiar with the controls
- do NOT play further missions (see below)
- working Microphone
Server:
hopefully AST|Testing Server 
Content:
TakeDown is coming, and I would really like to explore the game with friends in MP
So here is the plan: everyone plays only the tutorials and trainings alone in Singleplayer to set up controls and such basic stuff. And then we try to rock the COOP missions in Multiplayer together. It will be a really cool challenge: testing our tactics and SOPs together as team in a brand new game. Zero map knowledge, except the one from the briefing. Plus no knowledge about odd or predictable AI behaviour. It’s like 6 LiveOps at one weekend.
Hence I’m asking everyone who wants to participate here explicitly to NOT play a map (or scout it via YouTube) before we played it in the event series! The game will ship with 6 maps, so we can play 2 brand new maps at 3 evenings or 3 brand new maps at 2 evenings (ofc several rounds per map). Should I hear a comment based on map knowledge, like “There is always a sniper in that window.” or “There is a another room not marked at the floor plan.”, during the first round on a new map, the concerned player will be kicked from the event and banned permanently on the AST TD server!
Sign up is not required, but helps planning and ensures that you get a slot. Please enter the times that you’ll be available in the according schedule, so that we can find the time for each day when most players are able to participate.

| Seems like the game will be released Friday at 17:00 UTC (pretty late). Need to instal it then, setup the server and play tutorials (if available).
Hope we can start at 18:00 UTC with a 30 minutes warm up/test in the killhouse. And then trying to accomplish "Biolab" and "HQ" at the first attempt
I guess Saturday we could start earlier, how about 14:00 UTC? We can decide whether we need a warm up round again, and then going for the next 2 COOP maps.
For Sunday I would suggest 14:00 UTC as well. Again mb a short warm up round and then the remaining 2 COOP maps.
Everyone ok with the schedule? Ofc we can play the maps again and again, depending only on your available free time. And the server will be running (hopefully) 24/7, so we can play as well besides this fixed appointments (but only already known maps).

| Tomorrow is finally the great day, so here comes a short tactical reminder:
This is going to be business as usual. New game, same sh**. Remember and use our tactics, in particular our basic principles. They work, so no need to reinvent the wheel. Follow SOPs, pay attention to proper communication and trust your teammates. If you intend to lead, have a(other) look at our briefing scheme. If you have a question, ask before the session or during the briefing.

| I don't know if I can do it on Friday... I'll probably install it and go around 2 maps at Friday and then meet you in Saturday.
