Battlefield Wednesday 3/3

wow, i love putting half a mag into someone from behind and they just stand up and stab you in the face. This game sucks

Lrn2headshot

But yea in general people are bullet sponges, it's not so bad once you get magnum ammo 

[copulatingduck]

or u can run around with the carl gustav with explosive dmg perk (WHOALOLOLOL I CAN 1-SHOT EVERYTHING)




fucking faggot tubers

[Maxon]

Yeah it's funny once or twice, like when Mission kept pegging me with them, but when I kept going against one of those So Hard guys who did it CONSTANTLY, the fun quickly leaves the room.

[copulatingduck]

yea, i think after a good 5-6 maps everyone was pretty sore about that lol

[Surf314]

I'm glad we kicked them, I think they were on vent just trying to screw with servers. More or less what we'd do if we weren't playing on our own server.

[Tricks]

Jump on them and knife them

Worked pretty well

They were high-20s players, it’s not like they were griefing or anything

It’s just a really frustrating tactic

But hey, if you pay $40 a month or whatever you can kick, ban, and do whatever to anybody you want

Well the other problem was they should have known better than to team stack like that. I think they could've changed teams as a group and balanced the teams at one point.

When I'm pubbing, the word "balance" typically doesn't occur to me. I just want to have fun with my friends.

On this topic, I got multiple messages from multiple people that they were generally spawn camping, team stacking, and being lamers.

It was only a kick anyway, the #1 and basically only rule is, "Don't be a dick", and when 4 people take time out of the game to message me to do something about it, you're probably breaking that rule  :

Running around back and camping spawns with 3 noobtubers and 2 medics + the mounted HMG's facing our spawn isn't griefing, or taking every vehicle @ start of round, driving it halfway and dumping it, or grabbing the choppa/UAV only to go straight up and jump out?

fucking faggot tubers

+1 for life.

[Surf314]

I accidentally spawn camped in the worst way possible, I felt guilty about it but I kinda got trapped. I spawned on a team as a medic and he died. Then I notice everyone popping in to existence not 10 feet away. So I am obviously thinking "oh fuck I am so dead." And then I notice the mounted machine gun mounted next to me and unfortunately pointing at the spawn area.

The plan was to kill them and then run away but they started spawning too quick so I was like whatever I will just run and take my chances that would really tick me off if I was on the receiving end.

Spawn camping is nearly impossible. BC2 isn't like TF2 where there are a couple set places you can spawn from. The game looks for a clear area around the current rush points and spawns you accordingly. The only way you can spawn-gib soembody is if you are running full sprint and just get lucky. Mechanics are different from TF2, so rules and understanding need to change. What Surf saw was idoits spawning on their squad-mates into a line of fire. You can't fix stupid. That's not camping, that's playing the damn game.

Team stacking is great for BC2. Long games of Rush are SOOOO boring. You just have these huge clumps of people, spamming noob tubes, and medics farming rezes en-masse to farm point. 30 minutes later you just want to kill yourself.

Long games (aka non-stacked games) are blue balls for 32 people. It sucks. Zane's team got hardcore crushed in one round last night. The next round, they owned the map in less then 15 minutes. Sides change. As long as one side isn't owning game after game after game, it's fine.

I had nemesis pins on TO THE GROUND and one other. Furthermore, I saw BRB players using the same tactic not an hour later.

It’s part of the game. If we start kicking people just because we can’t learn how to adapt and play, it starts a really bad trend.

You know what’s really effective against a running tuber? A pistol headshot. A knife to the back.

Once people get better I swear we won’t have these kinds of problems.

[Surf314]

TBH people needed to go to even the teams or we were going to get rage quitting making the problem worse. Until EA fixes team balance we are probably going to have to make more calls like that. We asked a bunch of times for people to switch and no one responded so I just asked caff to kick them as they were the best choice: a clan probably working together in vent to dick around with zero desire to balance the game and keep the server going. And to be clear I am talking about player counts. DICE actually has a non-functioning team balance feature. I personally enjoy a challenging game skill wise.

I get what you are saying but server life > all on the managing end. We may get some people feeling butthurt but they can't expect us to keep them if the server might die because of what they are doing.

People rage-quit when they lose even if numbers are totally balanced. People rage-quit when they get knifed 5 times in a match. People rage all the time, and most of the time it is because they are bad at the game. And as for letting the server die? I have had to wait 20 minutes or more several times this week to even get into the server even at 2 in the morning. I’ve had BRBers sending me messages all week asking me to let them know when a spot is open. On the weekends, Versus has seen the server full until 5 in the morning.

Who is worried about the server dying?

By kicking people who are owning?

Even if numbers are balanced, skill won’t be. Trying to make players balance around skill is an impossible task, and trying to be parental making sure all of the kids “play nice” is a sure-fire way to get flamed on the BC2 forums.

If I joined somebody else’s server with Duck and Versus, and we were doing well and we got kicked because of it, I can’t even imagine how angry I would be.

Randoms move on to other games. Clans have a community, and tend to stick around.

[Surf314]

We will never kick for skill, we may kick for number balance. When one team is nearly twice as big as the other then it is a problem. When the rage quitting is only happening on one side then it is a problem. The teams don't balance in a map and I haven't seen them balance on map change like they claim. There is no way to balance as an admin. We have to rely completely on people being good sports.

At the time we kicked one team was nearly full and the other was dwindling fast. After the kick the teams were balanced and the server quickly refilled. We went from a near reseeding situation to a full server with balanced teams numbers based on one decision, which makes me believe it was the right one and I'd make it again.

And even though this game is popular I have seen servers die.

[zaneyard]

you wanna know how to fix clan teamstackers?
we counter-teamstack

i think as community members it's our duty to balance teams

idk about you guys but the last time i played on a well organized Counterstrike: Source/TF2/BF2 team, we fucked shit up

In this particular game we were all already on the small team. Don't know if you were there or not. But yes this is always the first step. I just wish that this issue was fixed. It's compounded by the fact I don't think you can check team numbers before joining and I've seen lots of people join on an unbalanced team because that's what the system put them on. Then add in the fact it only lets you switch a certain amount of times and you can see why they need to fix their shit.

[zaneyard]

i'm not sure if we're talking about the same situation but i recall asking on vent like 5 times for the 5 brbu members to switch over when the teams were +4

[Squishy3]

random thought: instead of calling it bad company 2 they should've called it worse company
