note road seperating hill B from the base at B, if anything, contrary to Doc’s assertions, this is less within the definition of adjacent than Hill A but they are still both adjacent to B.

COI? not sure on that abbreviation!

I have a very firm stance on this, rpg on infantry is fine, as gay as the noob tube for cheap kills but it IS part of the game mechanics and as Doc says, the rules will be inconsistent. Ultimately it will be down to whoever is admining but what we do want is fairness in the admining and a case by case approach.

For example spawn raping has been massively reduced in this version of battlefield, gone are the days of people standing next to your spawn and killing you as you spawn (although it is legitimate to do this anywhere outside the uncap, there are normally a few places to spawn as you can spawn on your team mates). However there are times when it is impossible to spawn anywhere because of the spawn raping. Last night was a good example on Cao San temple (conquest). It was decided to kick those players that were doing it and we did. I informed the server that I had kicked two people for base raping and the problem went away (kind off). Later on though on a rush map we got grief from someone for spawn raping. As far as I am concerned there is no possible way to defend and win without spawn raping, likewise there really is no way to win attacking without spawn raping, that is the nature of rush, it puts the two teams very close to each other and the defenders spawn practically on the objectives.

Here is the problem though, everyone admins to their own standards and these are always going to be inconsistent, as a rule I will ask on TS and discuss with whoever is on as to whether there is reason to kick (kicking is what I usually do, not banning, more of that later) and follow the advice of others, but I normally warn privately by yelling directly at people through RCON and watch them for a bit (even Doc occasionally agrees with me about kicking people). The sever is ours but it is nothing without other players on, we could never fill the server if it was private!

We want the server to be a good place to play, with good players, it’s the only way we improve by watching what the rank 50’s do and working out ways to beat them (Antananarivo for example), we don’t get a decent reputation for being someone who kicks for the slightest of reasons, and especially not for someone who is just bloody good at the game and is kicking your ass. Just because we rent the server out does not mean we have to be the best players on the server. Some of the best games have been as a result of fighting back from an almost unwinnable situation against really good guys, what we should be doing is getting into squads and using teamwork to overcome the obstacles, be that someone going sniper for a wee while to clear the entrenched positions, having a medic doing his job and talking clearly about positions (not any of this “on the hill adjacent to B” when there are TWO hills adjacent to B, one north/ north east, the other west).

We also want the teams to be balanced so if there are three rank 50’s on one side, move one to the other team using RCON, although I did that last night and it didn’t really work because the other rank 50 left and we had two rank 50’s against us on Cao San who did the spawn raping! /there is more to say on the admining side of things, but I want to keep the rest private so I am going to do a post in the Admin section later this afternoon.

just enough time for me to get your tags! see you(or at least you back with my knife sticking through it) on the battlefield!

“Hey guys, I just spent £1,000,000 on a new super duper computer with water cooling!””
“cool, it should run really quietly then”
“nah, I put on a massive fan and it makes so much noise that everyone on TS can hear it”

muppet.

had some great games on bfbc2 tonight with doc, beer, queeks, ben and n0m. One point Doc was in the tank on hastings and had one of us in the tank with him and two covering him, I got an 8 kill streak, doc got a 15 kill streak and it was all awesome, especially seeing beer sweep low overhead in the chopper whilst two tanks, myself and doc surged forward using beer to call out the targets, was most fun!

owned by the copyrighters!

although this has been discussed countless times, bf1942 wasn’t the best game, it was massively flawed, overpowered aircraft, no squad play, etc.

my apologies adequately apportioned stalker.
