Server Rules

Ponster

It's not exactly a server rule item but about two nights ago I joined the server only to find that my team had reached the squad number limit (I think it's 7 or 9 or something).

There were 4 locked squads of just 1 person, 3 of whom were snipers and 1 other guy (don't remember his kit).

Depending on what mood I'm in if the player with a locked squad refuses to let other people join when it's impossible to create more squads then I'm likely to press a kick button.

If a player is doing something that is disruptive in a game then I would tend to warn him twice and then kick him.

I would tend to warn him twice and then kick him.

I think the key here is the warning, sometimes people will do stupid things, but if they're automatically kicked then they'll never learn... An admin warning should point out the error of their ways, and stop them being such a f**kwit. Nothing worse than playing on a server where an admin has a twitchy kick button finger...

On another note, has any decision been made about what exactly the server rules are? A rotating message would really sort out all the arguments (apologies if it's already up, haven't played on the server in a few days), I was on it last Friday I think, there were more people arguing about what constitutes base raping than there was actually concentrating on the game. It was even being discussed whether flying over the enemy untakable but not firing constitutes base raping... Seriuosly, come on guys!

My own point of view is that vehicle stealing is a perfectly acceptable tactic, you really can't complain if you let the enemy into your base and they rob your vehicles....

Base raping, well, it's a pain in the arse but again, don't get pinned down to one flag, but it depends on what you call base raping, I tend to think of a quick strafing or bombing run on the enemy main every now and then to be ok, in fairness you should be getting shot down the second you fly over it. Base camping, on the other hand, where someone is spawn camping, well, that's a bit much, but it really does boil down to proper defence of your base...

How come this whole base camping/raping argument was never such big deal in BF1942 or BFV?

TheHairyFairy

It was in Bf42, but not in BFV as all flags where takeable. I've said before and I'll say it again if you are pinned back to your own base then prepare to be raped. Its up to players to use their brains to find a way out of there and to another flag.

You can't baserape an UCB (uncappable base).

If it's Wake Island for example and some China players have faster PC's which means faster loading times and are able to destroy the jets on the carrier before they take off then it counts as base raping. Players who spawn and die and spawn and die will soon look elsewhere to play BF2. It has nothing to do with skill or the lack of.

The rule is displayed in the server message window when you connect to the server.

Agree with the wake thing, i kept hitting tab one day and i was in the plane and flying over the little island on wake before the 1st person showed in the game, same with dalian.

The boat with the big guns and 16 AA missiles?
I would go for that 1st then worry what planes were left.

There are 4 boats and at least 2 if not 3 choppers
If you cant get out of your base you are probbaly not creating squads and are probably all trying to fly the chopper = tough titties.

Agreed, peeps need to use their noggins.

Agreed

However, most if all people will not listne to you when commander and tend to do their own thing.
Their not gonna make 5 squads and use teh guns on the boats and the 2 blackhawks to prevent the baserapiong and THEN go off to the island

They will inevitably all stand on the helipad or where teh plane spawns and wait and die until they finally get it.

Like Ponster said, some people connect way too early compared to eothers, there have been times where ive got in a plane and made it to the Airship before anything has taken off. Within this time i could easily take out teh Essex gun, all spawning planes and ah-12, within this time aswell im sure my chopper would be at the middle island awaiting everything coming out, and a tank at each end of the beach. GAME OVER

So no stealing of vehicles or baseraping methinks

Well then thats most peoples problems and most people will not win that round.
Thankfully I am not most people and often win that round.

Sniper should be allowed to pick players in the uncappable base, especially if they get commander/engi/pilot before they reach they repair and vehicule.

Sniping always been a great asset and should be use to disrupt behind the line too.
