Re: WTF...new rule: "cartillery is not allowed" ...urgh

yes on some servers it is...but banning is a little harsh, you should just be kicked

Re: WTF...new rule: "cartillery is not allowed" ...urgh

yeah i know, today its been weird because i got banned from 3 server, one was cause of this cartillery, another opne was because i kept running over this guy with my jet (he didnt even wanted to fly he was just trying to be anoying), and another one, was because i ketp knifing the commander FROM THE OPPOSING TEAM.

If its in the server rules then a warning then a kick would have been going far enough. I dont use cartillery myself when i command but most of the servers i play on dont allow it anyway

cartillery is just plain stupid, if you want that sniper dead then call him out and people will gladly go kill him. Same as armor and any other target that you want to see dead, just call it out. Vehicle drops should be used only when your team asks for it. Nothing like asking for a ride only to see your commander trying to kill people with falling cars. Also its pretty easy to avoid so most of the time you are just giving free rides to the enemy.

Thats up there with dropping supply crates to bring up your UAV and scan trailer. Biggest waste of resources, 1 engineer can fix all that stuff. If there is noone around to fix it then play engineer when commanding and all will be solved. Keep the drops for the friendly's only please.

i was calling out, and yes they were taking out the snipers, but there were so many.

Re: WTF...new rule: "cartillery is not allowed" ...urgh

playing engineer as commander is fun, just throw mines around all your stuff and any entrances to your main base. Sit back and wait cause it wont be long before someone comes to blow up your stuff, use scans to anticipate when the enemy is approaching. Most of the time the mines can eliminate the threat before they do any damage. If they do blow something up go towards the next closest asset and i am sure you can kill them before they blow it up. If they blow it up, grab your wrench and start fixing. Also another bad thing about dropping supplies to fix your stuff is that a smart spec ops will blow up a couple of targets and wait. Usually the commander will drop supplies to fix the blown up stuff. When he does out comes the spec ops guy to get more C4 from the supply crate dropped and proceed to blow up your stuff again.

I have found that if you defend your assets well enough as commander that most will just give up and not come back. :laugh:

I have yet to be cartilleried. The only time it was close I saw it coming down, hit my enter key and took off in my brand-new shiny car to the next point. :)

Please keep trying to crush me. :)

Cartillery is not specifically against ROE; however, its not limited by ROE and thus Server Admins can make a rule.

Until the ambiguity is resolved by ROE, server admins can do this. However, I believe they won't change ROE til after 1.40 so maybe next month.

Well, just wait for 1.4 final to be released all a sniper has to do is be on a rooftop since in 1.4 cars can no longer be dropped on rooftops. So no more cartillery for people on roofs.

Re: WTF...new rule: "cartillery is not allowed" ...urgh

It's not allowed to be done in most servers because commanders don't use it for what it should be used for.

155mm Artillery is the ultimate sniper eraser. Just place the bull's eye with the sniper at it's 7 o'clock or so an inch away.

Re: WTF...new rule: "cartillery is not allowed" ...urgh

I can understand commanders using cars on say snipers as such, they're wasting their assets for a single kill, their loss. Possibly, that care will be raken by the enemy too. However, using cars on assests is a whole different matter, plainly for abuse and an easy way to cut out the enemy's assests, sort of a game issue that was not looked into.

It seems server admins have taken a harsh status on this, for either reason, "Cartillery" is abused by the commander role.

Only bad commanders, or commanders with bad teams use cartillery imho.
It makes no sense at all, and all it's doing is stealing your team a ticket.

I wonder how many times we would've actually won a game that we lost 0-1 or 0-2 - maybe because our commander got one or two arty/carty kills too much...
