Whats four wheel only?
No vehicles other than those with 4 wheels?
so does that mean jeeps and thats about it realy?
phew I was thinking no infantry :dribble:
I'll be playing Arm.
good man
We have the big karkand 2nd up tonight, should be a good battle :)
Does this mean you're not in a bleedin' helicopter tonight?

Only if he can find someway to attach 4 wheels to the bottom.
Must say that it was fun and I had a blast. Or should I say: ZAP. 8) ;)
Can't say I'm overly keen on the infantry only idea, I like driving or flying around to much & don't really enjoy the foot soldiering side of bf2, stick me in a gunner seat on a chopper & I'll be happy as a pig in, erm, a happy place, all night long.
We also struggled once Oldie left on Mashtuur with *anks in tanks.
I think admin rights needs to be given out to a few more people if possible so we can resolve this.
I would suggest that those people who are most often on the server - I don't know who they are as I only play a couple of times a week but there are quite a few on every night I guess?
Just a thought

It was only a couple of peeps...and they stopped after a while (1 immediately, apologising after it was explained )
I think the problem is the warning text isn't shouty enough...plus we have non english speakers (yanks :P )
it'd be nice if the admin could spam the screen with a big "NO TANKS!" right accross the screen instead of some piddly little text way up left.
Karkand was a blast :D
some dogged fights :ph34r:
I love sunday infantry only :thumbsup:
Just out of curiosity, is 4 wheel only a server setting you can make to only have jeeps spawn, or is it just a concious decision among the players to not jump into any other vehicles?
All the other vehicles would appear to be available ingame to use, you just get shouted at when you get in one.
Well that was probably the most intense game of BF2 I've ever played! :D
Congrats to the opposition for winning the game, some incredible fire fights and close quarter battles.
I felt sorry for Ron when he said he couldnt' take any more and left (I sympathise with you mate it was kinda mad - 500 tickets!!). Then our SL Lib(?) said he'd had enough (unsurprisingly after commanding us for over 90 minutes!) - what a war of attrition :D
Nice to see a new dMw face on the server - welcome Niel :D what a baptism of fire that was for you!
Looking forward to Monday nights usual big game too, Karkand 2 anyone? :dribble:
Yeah great game,I seem to be missing the start of the nights game's lately,must try to get sorted earlier. :(
I don't know how long we'd been playing but it seemed an age. Then I glanced up and saw 420 odd tickets left! The fight went out of me. :( I was enjoying the hell out of it up till then. What's the matter with you lot, are you masochists?

Wasnae me.
I managed to stay away from squad leading tonight, except for starting a new squad and then joining the main one when there was enough room for us all (although I do tend to be vocal). :huh:
tough game. I enjoyed it but I had a headache by the end. <_< It's very hard as US to push the mech back on 32 player maps let a lone the big one.
Just to explain the tickets. you can not select exactly how many tickets you want for each map, you select a ticket ration. so to get a small map to have 200 tickets the large maps end up with 500. Sorry if it went on to long :blush:

It might have gone on a long time, but what a game :D
Apologies for anyone who was on the recieving end of my 'noob tube' :narnar:
Great games guys.
I think one of the 'problems' with the tickets was the number of highly effective medics. It seemed nearly every time one of us fell they were brought back. I know I was zapped by Lib loads of times - miond he did then get carried away and stopped using the gun whilst going for the most paddle kills in one game.
Serious fun.

Thing is mate, from our point of view, those tanks effectively ruined a good game - they rolled upto the mosque on a number of occaisions, killed everyone (as we had no ATers on our side) took the flag and spoilt the game - stopping us from moving on or even being able to defend the flag. You should have heard the cursing on our team! :ranting:
As you say, we need a more noticeable way of warning people of our rules if possible.

Not surprisingly mate, you did a great job of SL though as did Big-Paddy and Birthday boy :)
Yeah the tank really did spoil it for a while.
Was he not using comms and not seeing the text or just ignorant? We were all calling for him to be kicked it was just so frustrating.
Untill you can remove unwanted vehicles your always gonna get people jump in the biggest thing they can find, only other way I could see of stopping it would be to lock the server as generally we all know whats going on with the server on set nights.

Its true. But ppl do usually respond to requests to stop. This guy just kept coming when the whole screen was full of text telling him to stop and I bet you guys were giving him stick as well.

I agree with you Rizzy, however its good for us to get pubbies in as we may be able to recruit more members.
I think there is away of actually removeing vehicles,not sure whats involved but playing on TG last night and no air vehicles spawned.Unless its only a land/sea/air split it may be worth investigating. :unsure:

They were either ignorant, or didn't understand English too well. I think they were German. The problem was once we got one guy straightened out for using the tank, a different one jumped in. Rinse, repeat. At one point I even stood in front of the newly spawned USMC tank, typing messages to the driver to get out. All the time he was spamming "Get in!" at me, and then almost ran me over. :doh:
I was issuing multiple warnings to players, and actually kicked one guy in the Mashtuur round, and another on Fushe afterwards. I'm sorry it wasn't done sooner, but our admin rules state we have to give a clear warning before a player kick. Once it's obvious a player isn't paying any attention, we can then kick them. A server ban follows if they rejoin and play-up again.
I think part of the problem is that so much green text fills the top left of the screen with AAS capture info spam, server messages and the like, that player warnings can be missed quite easily.
For me, both of those maps were a real pain. I spent more time, typing messages than I did actually playing. I'm still learning the admin ropes though, so if you guys can tell me if there's any areas I can improve upon then let me know.
Sounds like great fun :) Sorry I missed it, was out watching King Kong with some mates :( Will try and get one more game in on Monday or Tuesday before I lose my PC for 2 weeks over the hols.

If only admins could send voice messages (like pressing another key instead of B or V) to all players on the server... :)
thats where having commanders is good, they can talk to whoever on there side regardlees of team, and tell them whats what, is there a way to use the commanders comm system if your an admin???
Learn different languages then only English ;)
But I know, it can be quit anoying.
I allways start with English, if they don't understand that they are either german or French and I only speak German and can swear a bit in French.
Seulment les vehicules avec quatre roules sur cette server s'il vous plait.
