Re: Server Admins?

A lot of servers have no respawn time, and the kit unlocks set to vanilla stuff, so half of us can't even use the weapons because they are locked.

Re: Server Admins?

Balance it yourself, or server admins at least put the autobalance variable [or whatever its called] to like 2 so people can switch teams if they are trying to team up with a freind/clan.

Re: Server Admins?

Yeah, there were some freaky autobalance, or should I say lack of autobalance issues on some servers last night. Stranger still was considering the teams were so unbalanced sometimes the server refused to allow people to change sides to help balance the thing manually, which is bizarre.

Autobalance is good, though can be a pain when you want to join with your friends and it won't let you swap. A big issue seemed to be that the game was around level team wise and then people must have started to swap to the winning team to get the win at the very end. Very shady people.

Another issue on that server was that for some bizarre reason every now and then you got spawned in in 0 seconds, which is a bit jarring to say the least, and also gives you no time to tactically choose where you want to spawn in next, just snapping you back into the game instantly, so admins on that server, that needs changing.

Re: Server Admins?

Good Serversettings, Serverrules and good Admins can make a server playable.
Bad Serversettings,  Serverrules and bad Admins make a server unplayable.

During the Old BF 2142 Times i played mainly on "Squadplay all the Way" from the IPD Clan (they came from Castle Wolfenstein:ET Scene and switch to BF2142 until QuakeWars).

"Squadplay all the Way" has had very good rules, Admins and Settings.

First Rule: Join a Squad. Admins kicked players who don't join a Squad.
Tactical Gamer has the same rule and uses a script for it:

A very good Setting was also a 120 sec Time limit bevor the Round starts to switch Teams and make Squads and give orders for the first attack.

Respawn Time was 15 secs (Standard), 0 secs are just stupid because when you get killed at respawn ther is no way to escape a spawncamper.

Autobalance is a good thing, using the team ration should allow to make 2 players more on one side possible.

Best moment on Squadplay was the Hunt for the Glitcher... big_smile
During Play an admins stops the server and tells us on player was Glitching ... instant of simply kicking & banning him, both teams hunt him down until he lefts the server.
