Tonights game.

Jeeps only? Not sure that works.

Map size, jeep availability, identifying a 'jeep' etc etc.

What I think would work well is an 'all-weapons free' night on a map suited to it. We could even let the unlocked weapons loose (seeing how most are crap anyways :narnar: )

Gulf of Oman anyone?

Unlocked weps - is there a chance that the IP will be banned from the in-game browser?

What is the problem with some people? The server was setup for INFANTRY ONLY + JEEPS and I was still getting shot by gits in APCs and Helicopters. These were not visitors but regular players and that is sad

The next person who does this will get banned - it ruined my night

Is it time we published a 'schedule'?

Something like this:

dMw weekly play schedule

Monday: Anything goes AAS (dMw server)
Tuesday: Anything goes AAS (dMw server)
Wednesday: dMw 'Away Day' - Ranked Server
Thursday: Anything goes AAS (dMw server)
Friday: dMw 'Away Day' - [TG] Server
Saturday: : Anything goes AAS (dMw server)
Sunday: Infantry only night - JEEPS ONLY- (dMw server)

(The away day thing is just an idea - and would ONLY be IF there isn't enough folk on the dMw to warrent games there - Wednesday and Fridays usually being 'slow' nights on teh dMw server)

As usual I will probably be accused of being a 'control freak' for suggesting this - but if there is a set regular day for infantry only then there should be no excuse for not knowing.

Just remember, we don't all play BF2 ans have other things going for -=[dMw]=- aswell. We are still playing CS:CZmatches and so which in my book come first and after that BF2. Wednesdays and Sundays are the days we play those matches so in the evenings you'll be finding me in there. I also would like to uphold the Fridaynight CS:CZnight as from what I've heard is that people really liked (although me not showing up).

You exBIGguys really should give it a try. TCS, the way 2 play.
I'm playing loads of BF2 aswell and you'll find me in there if needed. I'll sort out my Xfire hopefully tonight so I can leave it on aswell.

Really, Duvel - this rough idea for a play schedule is for those guiys who DO play BF2...

CS guys can do what they want! LOL

Tried CS and have to say I didn't really enjoy it that much. I found it repetative and dreary...

(I think the UT version of CS - 'Tactical Ops' - was better, had better bigger maps and better weapons.)

I can't see me ever playing CS as it is at the moment - BF2 is simply miles better, more varied, has bigger and better maps AND with 'Special Forces' coming out in the next two weeks it will have a small unit tactical element too!

Sorry!

Ahem...

I joined in after the game had been on for a while (at least it seemed that way). I played for quite a while before I saw the message Jeeps Only. Still, as everyone else was flying helos and driving APCs and tanks, I figured we played a match where vehicles were permitted.

Banning people for this is not really a good idea - some of us come to the server after a while, and I would not like to get banned for something I didn't know about. I didn't check the forum before joining the game, so I had no idea that it was an infantry only-match, until well into the game.

I think Rangers idea is a good one, making a schedule. However, it would mean that sunday (my regular gaming evening - the other evenings are highly irregular) would mean only infantry games for me :eyebrow:

I have another idea: How about making a sticky thread that is named "tonights game" , where the rules for the server that night is published. A schedule could also be published there, so that the schedule would be the rules for the day unless otherwise stated.

Anyhow, the best maps for infantry only is the citymaps, IMO.

The current rules are stated in the server message which you see while waiting to join and are repeatedly displayed on the info at the top of the screen along with the AAS messages. Additionally, the server name changes when it is infantry only.

All we ask is that people bothered to read what we have taken the time to set up. If they cant be bothered then I' can't be bothered to avoid banning them to prove a point. get my drift?

Any regular "banned" for this would not be perm banned but he would need to post a request in the forums to get the ban removed which I or any other Admin would do.

One very longstanding dmw member was very nearly banned by OB last night for doing exactly this sort of thing even though there are numerous places where the relevant information is available.

If you went on anybody elses server you would (I hope) read the server messages while joining so that you get a heads up on any rules. Why treat your home server any differently?

As stated, all we ask is that people take the time to check what the server is running, AAS, Infantry only, Infanrtry and Jeeps or full blown BF2. I don't think thats asking a lot tbh

Norm · October 31, 2005, 02:20:39 PM

Just a quicky,we played infantry only which is fine,then zatar we resorted to everything with server intro changed to suit.I left and came back,server intro was on everything,when I entered the game after about 5 mins was told infantry only! Now I dont mind either way and I know admins have a thankless job,been there,not nice

,but it gets confusing for us old ones if we see one thing and are told to do another. :whistle:

Benny · October 31, 2005, 02:33:10 PM

name and shame man, it's the only way!!

was it me? huh huh?

This is really simple, if someone joins your side, tell 'em. Job done. Everyone here can speak last time I checked, and with one exception that I know about everyone has sound. So, just tell your cohorts when they join. Job done.

And I'm serious about naming and shaming, it's the only way forward.

Will do BB, I'm guilty of this

but last night we changed the rules after a few games...

DuVeL · October 31, 2005, 02:48:58 PM

What I mean Ranger: You're saying you want a schedule to sort stuff out with getting the servers a bit fuller and to set up what is what night (atleast that's what I'm getting from the message) but do keep in mind that we are still on CS:CZ and so aswell.

And for not playing CounterStrike, I think you're afraid to join

Sn00ks · October 31, 2005, 03:03:45 PM

I must hold up my grubby little paw. :blush:

Outofsynch was flying about in a chopper (map with the hill in the middle with a combat chopper on it) and I am sure he was on the previous map. So we hid and sent messages and still he hovered about, so in the end I jumped into an APC and peppered him full of little holes. He eventually went away.

Sorry I put my hand up to flying chopper on zatar but not on previous map, was it mashtur?. I only got in chopper after seeing message from OB saying "all vehicles" but got conflicting messages from team mates I did get out and leave well alone when asked. My apologies I dont want to get a ban :-( as the dmw server is by far the best BF2 experience available that I have found.

Perhaps you could restrict the map rotation to city maps on a sunday allowing perfection of tactics for karkand etc.

I agree with earlier post that city maps seem to be the sensible option for infantry only.

Exactly. I do read the server message, but I didn't see anything about infantry only (I joined at Zatar). I did see the message in-game, after a while, but as everyone else was flying/drving, and noone was complaining or being kicked... well, I guess I just went along.

Now here's an idea: How about kicking us one-time offenders, instead of using a ban? I would get the drift after a kick, even if I', a bit slow in the start.
