Jolt Announce New Ladders

Posted by Dev at 11:44 24/1/2003.

Today gaming service Jolt announced that they have launched a ladder service. Here is the announcement:
Today we have launched our great new ladders service!

Many of you have asked for something like this and we decided to deliver. Nearly all popular games will be covered by this service and true to jolt's motto it's "run by gamers for gamers". You will be able to have individual accounts for 1v1 ladders or even clan accounts for team games.

Those of you who have asked us about this we will expect to see signing up right now!

In the future, we will be providing bookable servers integrated into the system for this as well so no more upsetting admins using public servers ;)

Check out the Counter-Strike 5v5 and 2v2 ladders at the ladders@jolt website. You can also sign up there also.

Fair play to them, whether it's full of reputable clans or not it's good to see a big GSP running a ladder. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Jolt have always been well run, and Nildram the parent company has an excellent ADSL service (which I have).

Shame about the servers though, nearly everyone says that they don't register well........ [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

their 12 player publics r a lot better than they used o be now hey've upped the maxrate

they still have far too many 18 player publics running maps like office imo, which doesnt give them a good name

the nuke/train/aztec only 12 player server is good [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

look on cs.jolt.co.uk for their IPs. Don't know why ppl complain about Jolt as much as by, maybe cos everyone heads straight to by7 and thinks "yeah everyone else is using 0 interp WHY DONT I DO IT TOO!!?!?!?!". Jolt shot reg is way better than most other GSPs. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

In my opinion from initial looks, this ladder will be another clanbase wanna B :E

Lots of poor clans (who play for fun)
Lots of average clans (war conflics & flaming each other)
1-2 Top clans (who are challenged by these ^ & get tired of 'lame' clans/people)

So why isnt there a ladder dedicated only to top clans?, either UK, or Euro ladder. I think this would be a good idea, a fair majority of people take interest in top uk/foregin clans and watch the CPL HLTV's & are genually interested in clan results.

Take Barrysworld for example, i know this is a league! but my point still stands; as soon as there are wars played the ripper & co get the top division results straight on UKT & people comment. Its a craze & people always want to know who won the TopclanA match vs TopclanB match.

If jolt took this approach & only let 10 - 15 of the UK's best established & skilled clans in a ladder such as ONE,LC,Marines etc.. That would be exciting.

Look at Enemydown, who are [ANTS] ??? they are #1 , now thats amusing :E

Anyone else think a ladder dedicated to professional top UK clans would be a good idea? I think whoever does it first will be a sucess.

Jolts aren't so bad now compared to a lot of servers, but when they were you had like 4x better reg than any UK players on there ;) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

got it in one mate :o

The reason there are no "top" clans in any ladders anymore is that ladders, by their very nature, are inherently gay. The cb ladder used to work really well in its early years. There was no lameness, no folding and rejoin (4D) and ppl looked forward to the 1st v 2nd clashes (4k v UKLA etc). Thats all gone now and it wont ever work again. ... ahh the old days :o [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

lol @ jolt trying to be a CB wannab

It isnt supposed to be a copy of any ladder

Bearing in mind that any ladder that we made would have been classed by some morons as a copy of ED or CB.

It makes me wonder why we even try and contribute to the UK CS scene. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

True heddy, but if you dont play you drop down the table.

You have to play at least once a week.

Seeing that this ladder hasnt even started yet i can only see the critism coming from 1 camp...... the camp that hates ladders full stop. If you hate ladders full stop, then fine, move along. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Hi Otis,

[ANTS]: Won 185 Lost 111

#1 clan

amusing isnt it :E

but i think a pro ladder would be the way forward still repsect for what you said "(4k v UKLA etc). Thats all gone now and it wont ever work again. ... ahh the old days :o"

why does it have to be that way if there's a ladder designed purely for them mate? however were going off the topic ;D

go jolt! lol [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Hitt0r sit the f*** down before you hurt yourself tbh ...

Jolt want the fun clans that are genuine and play for the love of the game. I think you will find that its the 'top clan' wanabe's that cause just as much agro in flaming etc.. cos of their arogant attitudes. There are only a few clans out there that are really good clans and have an attitude to match.Its the so called l337 ppl that complain more cos they think they know everything.

And the fact that you believe that anything 'online' can be competative with pro players shows how new you are tbh the way forward is attending LANS and doing well at them thats where credability in this cs scene comes from not online play.Online play is FUN and enjoyable but its certainly not PRO or be classed as any form of basis to see how good ppl are due to cheats , cfg etc...

well in 1.6 isnt the cfg locked down? if so im sure it would be possible. & for wh or anything else make demo's mandatory & available to the public this would also give noobies some idea of how to play the game.

As for yor cheeky 'sit down' remark, im just about to get up & goto the pub. Take that intel-inside t-shirt off & do the same... its friday night.. 'mate' [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

How can we possibly have a pro league with the euro's?did you read Khaos's accout of the match between magic and clanONE ? there was ping problems and all sorts so having a 'pro' league as you put it is just unattainable atm.
How about stop p***ing your money up the wall like 'macho man' that you are and get your self and your team to a competative LAN and who knows with a bit of praccy you might play against the euro elites of this world.

i just played on a couple of jolt servers and they were laggy (although reg wasnt as bad as it used to be, though 1 bullet out of 1000 reging is better than it used to be) and the quality of players made uk2 look like cpl (accused of cheating by nearly all of the server after getting a hs....).
