New Ladders
|
Along with the recently announced Spring OpenCups we have also opened a few more new ladders for our popular new games.
CoD4 received four new regional ladders for Poland, Scandinavia, Spain and Italy due to successful ladder petitions.
With the release of ZeroPing mutator for UT3, two new Insta CTF ZeroPing European ladders were created.
This brings the total number of ladders for Call of Duty 4 and Unreal Tournament 3 to 43 and 14 respectively. As you saw from this article, Call of Duty 4 is becoming more active everyday, and we hope that these ladders will give you even more chance to play CoD4, as well as all your other favourite games, right here at ClanBase.

ClanBase is testing a new embedded video player; The Husky player. The Husky network, part of the Heavy Corporation is a company providing video hosting services, who have been on the market for some time. Their player, informally known as the Husky player has a wide variety of interesting features...
One of the advantages of this player is the way you can switch from movie to movie with a simple click. You can play the clip on full screen, and the loading time should be decreased to virtually instant loading, since the servers hosting the clips are located in Europe. We're interested in collecting your feedback regarding this player. If you have issues, comments, ways to improve or just any random idea, please write them here.
