Cyber Ops is looking for new members. The best way to get new members to join is for current members to tell a friend. You've all been doing a great job of it so far, but now we've got something to reward you for your efforts!

Starting Monday, May 12th and ending Monday, June 9th current Cyber Ops members can earn points for getting non-members to sign up. Points will be awarded on the following basis: get a friend to sign up for a monthly membership, earn 1 point; get them to sign up for a quarterly membership and earn 3 points; six-month membership earns you 6 points; and a VIP or Family VIP membership earns you a whopping 10 points! The member (and you must have a membership yourself to claim referral points) with the most points at the end of the contest wins 2 FREE WEEKS of UNLIMITED game play at Cyber Ops!

Cyber Ops - It's where your friends are



XBox LIVE HD Nights

Cybers Ops is proud to present XBox LIVE HD, sponsored by iGames in partnership with Microsoft. These XBox LIVE HD nights will run at the same time our Cyber Ops teams are competing in the national ladders. Stop up to Cyber Ops before the ladders start (ladder for Call of Duty 4 starts at 6:00 pm on Wednesdays and the ladder for Rainbow Six Vegas 2 starts at 6:00 pm on Sundays) to play new XBox LIVE Arcade games downloaded just for this event, watch High-Def movies on our 52" DLP screen, watch other TV and gaming content, play on the newest Call of Duty 4 or Halo 3 maps, all downloaded from the LIVE Marketplace.

You'll find that the XBox LIVE Marketplace is a rich source of all kinds of media content, not just games. Be sure to pick up a pamphlet at the counter. Relax in our luxurious VIP room to catch all the XBox LIVE HD action!

We're screening the Will Smith hit movie I Am Legend the first week of the promotion. Come in and watch this FREE before the ladder starts, and then cheer on Team Ginormous in the Call of Duty 4 ladder. Other movies we'll screen in subsequent weeks include Rush Hour 3, The Sum of All Fears, Batman Begins, Appleseed Ex Machina (anime), Spawn, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings, Beowulf, and The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (a terrific documentary on the battle for Donkey Kong world supremacy!). All content is PG-13 or under, and TV content is rated 14-under, so this is for all ages to come and enjoy! TV programming includes Criss Angel: Mindfreak, Family Guy, Futurama, CSI: New York, Punk'd, Chuck and Pimp My Ride.

Oh, did I mention the PRIZES? You're always looking for cool swag, and we've got it! Prizes to be handed out over the course of the promotion (Wednesday, May 14th through Sunday June 29th) include XBox 360 memory cards (so you can transfer your game saves from Cyber Ops to home and vice versa!), Microsoft Points cards for downloading content on XBox LIVE Marketplace (we've got 1600 point cards and 4000 point cards to give away), special Hot Rod face plates for your XBox 360, XBox 360 hooded sweatshirts, and XBox 360 blankets!


Flick & Frag

Cyber Ops is your destination for all around summer fun. Starting with the release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, we will be hosting special Flick & Frag events.

What is Flick & Frag, you ask? We'll all get together at Cyber Ops before the movie starts so we can all go down as a group. Cyber Ops will take care of getting the tickets in advance so we can just walk right in to get our seats as a group. We'll watch the movie and then head back to Cyber Ops to finish out the night with gaming until closing time! We will limit each of our excursions to ten (10) people, so be sure to sign up in advance if you want to join the party!

The first flick is Indiana Jones on May 23rd (yes, we know the movie open Thursday night the 22nd, but school is still in session, so we'll push it back a day so you can play a full night at the game center). We'll go to the late afternoon show (specific time to be announced once it's posted on the theater website - usually around 4:00 - 4:30 pm or so) and then head back to Cyber Ops for a full night of gaming after the movie. We'll even order in some pizza! $25 gets you a ticket to the show, full night of gaming, and pizza! (You pay for your own treats at the theater.)

Other flicks on our radar include The Incredible Hulk on June 13th, Hellboy II on July 11th, Batman: The Dark Knight on July 18th, and Star Wars: Clone Wars on August 15th.


Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution Showcase

Cyber Ops is proud to present an iGames Showcase event for the upcoming Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution strategy game coming to the XBox 360. Come in and try this game FREE for 1 hour from 07/14/2008 to 07/27/2008.


$1500 iGames Ladder Tournament Updates

Team Ginormous is representing Cyber Ops in the national ladder for Call of Duty 4. They were a top 8 team after the first couple weeks, faltered a bit but still stayed in the top 16. Wish them luck as they compete for entry into post-season play. We're approaching the midway point of the ladder. For those of you who've seen them playing on Wednesday nights, know that you too can be a part of the fun for the 3rd quarter ladder.

Despite interest from 3 different teams, nobody signed up for the Halo 3 ladder. Hopefully you can get teams together to participate in the 3rd quarter Halo 3 ladder.

Team Bunny Ranchers, representing Cyber Ops in the ladder for Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is currently ranked 6th! Way to go, guys!

Team Fortress 2 NEWS
Gold Rush is an entirely new level featuring a new gameplay style called Payload. The level is split into three separate areas with intermediate capture zones inside of each major chapter. The teams are split between offense (Blu) and defense (Red) similar to Dustbowl. The goal for the Blu team is to push the bomb payload through the level until it reaches the next capture point, eventually destroying all three of Red's major bases. Blu pushes the cart through the level by standing near it, with the cart moving faster when more people are close by. If no one has pushed the cart forward after 30 seconds, the cart will begin to move backward until it is pushed forward again. Gold Rush is a map that specifically focuses on pacing so that the player feels like they are part of an overall campaign by the team. Each member of the team needs to focus on both the overall goal of either stopping or advancing the payload and also deal with local threats. As the payload moves through the map both teams need to be able to adjust their strategy depending on what approach the other is taking. Gold Rush has been designed taking all nine classes and their abilities in Team Fortress 2 into account, which means there is a spot for everyone and their favorite class to be useful. For long-time Team Fortress fans it should evoke feelings of both Dustbowl, in terms of layout and team goals, and Hunted, as it has a central objective that forces the battlefield to move through the map dynamically.
