Nice rotation choice cant wait for hardcore oasis easy kills , what is the max negative score you can get for team kills (can we set it on ther server for the person who teamkills "x" ammount of times gets kicked or will it be monitored by admins?) Can see it being a bit of a pain in the bum if we get idiots on who teamkill loads on purpose

Sounds like a great idea.

After we try it can it be put to a vote if we decide to go permanent?

6 seems a reasonable number to be fair possible sniper limit on rush maps aswell?

I hate hardcore :crying: and Port Valdez really really c'mon! :blink:

Having played a fair few of games of hardcore i found it to be not very much fun at all :(

No Problem.. Essentially I'm just trying to squeeze a little more life out of BC2 before we move to BF3.

Its dMw's server, you guys tell me what you want and we'll go for it even if only a trial.

This change stems from a request from the BC2 regulars so keep them coming!! :D

i wouldnt mind a sniper limit of 4 on rush maps ONLY please

2 maps that can/might ruin/destroy the population on our server with Hardcore is Port Valdez and Isle Inocentes. 2 maps that on their own are more gank then objective fav. and with hardcore it might be even worse.
But then again, i might be wrong but just saying my opinion.

I'm not in favour of limiting weapons or enforcing weapon use rules such as no CG on infrantry. While a sniper nest is difficult to manage, it also presents some excellent stabbing opportunities.

What do the rest of you guys think??

Stab a sniper and go home happy :boxing:...Although the idea of limiting snipers per side sounds good in reality if half of the opposing team are snipers then the chance of them destroying the MCOM's is very low and once Twobad starts lobbing C4 everywhere it will soon be BBQ sniper time.

Post by: TheDvEight on August 22, 2011, 03:19:09 PM
im not a fan of weapon/class limits either but when half the attacking team is sniper class it defeats the object of the rush game mode

I'm against class limits.

Its frustrating when you're attacking without the support of the cowardly snipers hiding at the back, but its not fair to limit weapons.

Example: I often play recon, but with a G3/shotgun instead of a sniper rifle. If you limit the number of recon players, you'll also be killing off legitimate play styles.

BC2 Server Rules
3. No Spawn Camping (this will get you kicked if you do it too much)
BC2 is an objective based game. When attacking, if all you do is sit on a  hill and snipe for frags then youââ,¬â,,¢re not completing the objective. Do  this for too long and you will be warned. Fail to heed the warning will  get you kicked. (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/content.php?186-server-rules_1)

Not that i know of anyone enforcing this one!

I meant this rule

Post by: TwoBad on August 23, 2011, 08:26:06 AM
Yeah i know what you meant.  What i'm saying is we don't need a limit on a class as the rules give the opportunity to do something about it IF it detracts from game play.  I've never known any admin enforce it as we have not had the need to because if one side goes too far towards Wookie class that will normally mean the other side will win.  In hardcore i'm not so sure that will be the case but we have a weapon to fight that in the form of OUR server rules which you have read haven't you Dick :)

yes but i still think it would be a hard rule to enforce

OK.. After a bit of work.. she's finally working.

Server went HardCore tonight. Unfortunately, the result was the server emptied quite quickly..

However.. The Shotty is deadly on HC. I love it.. :D

Cool..will be in tonight to give it a go :woot2:

Just given it a try its a huge learning curve with the hardcore mode. Its great for small squads but for a long term playing its hard.

Comms are reduced immensely and I just didn't get along with it not my cup of tea.

Was looking forward to bf friday but its just not the same.

Post by: TE_owner on August 26, 2011, 08:14:21 PM
Yeah i agree w/ ghosty snipers and shotguns are completely op and tbh i think the hardcore idea should have been put up to a public vote not much fun at all the fact the motions and spotting are basically worthless decrease the likelihood of working and playing as a squad/team plus its much harder to get a game going with hardcore enabled on the server, i spent a good 3 hours on the server yesterday and the server pop never went above 7vs7 until the very end when i was fed up with it rantoff/

Just come off Friday Night dMw against the world..lots of fun and the server was full all evening :woot2:

Post by: Naldo on August 26, 2011, 10:51:57 PM
Give it another chance guys...

TE Though you said that you were enjoying it at the end of Thursday?
You have to approach the game completely differently. You have to work as a team or you will get nowhere.
Making use of all the cover is essential, and coms are vital.

Its not the Hardcore thats killing the numbers, its the damn unreliability of the server. Three times tonight it dropped everyone :(
Title: Going Hard Core..
Post by: Gone_Away on August 26, 2011, 11:09:49 PM
I agree with Naldo.. Too bad the crappy Mul£iplay servers keep crashing Friday nights..

You do have to approach it differently. Snipers come into their own on HC. One shot kill most of the time.. Engineer's can take down a tank in double-quick time however. The shotty is amazing up close. A medic with a shotty and the shotty perks is a must!

Like the man said... Give it a week or so and let's see how the server numbers stack up.

Personally, I'm looking at other RSP's for BF3 as Multiplay don't cut it in my opinion.
