See Poll.

Obviously things may change when the game goes live - different tweaks/gamemodes etc.,

In the meantime am trying to get a feeling for settings that people are likely to want on our server

One of the bones of contention on bf2 was Friendly fire. BF2 had enable + FF off for Friendly mines/claymores - we don't know whether there will be such an option for BC2 yet, so have left the choice as enable/disable for now.

Please note Hardcore mode forces other settings e.g. you can't have hardcore mode + minimap

More settings may follow e.g. hopefully restrict crates to being destroyed only by rigging them and not by tanks/c4 but no news as yet. :-)

If anyone wants to discuss other potential settings e.g. baserape/vehicle stealing etc., go ahead

I voted for disable on hardcore mode on the basis that I've not managed to get on a server running it. Has anyone else managed to have a blast on hardcore mode, if thoughts please.

I've played hardcore a few times, but it wasn't quite what I was hoping for. The armour tends to own and it's not as skillful as normal mode as people seem to aim less - because you die faster people tend to just spray bullets more or you just get sniped.

My thoughts on the killcam are split - it'd help stop snipers camping but hinders the ability for a squad leader to provide a spawn point near the action

Rank limits seem fairly pointless to me.. i would consider if there was a way of restricting low ranks from using vehicles but this isn't an option

FF is a bit different to BF2 - the maps are a lot busier and it seems easier to shoot people on your team. Not sure how to vote in this regard - might just be a case of trying both and see which option people are happier with.

I'll vote in this at a later date :-)

i vote no on killcam because the killcam pisses me off on MW2. gives ur position away every damn time, so the person u killed just comes around the corner and kills u.

not going to vote until ive actually played the main gamefor at least a week, i suspect people would want to change their votes after having given it a fair go as well

yeah, i will probably change mine after playing the full game.

After playing around for a bit I've come to the realisation that the rush map 'Nelson Bay' is actually infantry only, so I was wondering what people's opinion was if we were to put one of the servers running this map only for those inf fan boys out there?

Really don't matter to me. If you want we can put the second server as inf only maps

forgot about this poll - ive pretty much just mirrored the current settings me have now as i dont see any reason to change

I would like to suggest we try some alternative/harder settings on the second CQ server ( the 24 man one)

maybe take out crosshairs, makes GL harder to use

add friendly fire ; again less CG/GL/Nade spam

and poss disable spotting (not too sure on this one/ open to suggestions)


thoughts plz
K.

so hardcore mode then?

no not HC

because it lowers HP meaning spraying bullets nets you kills


my alternative would force people to aim and concentrate fire

I would rather we just stick it on HC mode tbh, I've had a few rounds on HC servers and generally found them enjoyable.

well set up the server one way and see how it pans out.
