    Another well regulated server...

    Not sure where to post this or even if I should but I'm very frustrated and want to warn other decent BF2ers about the server I just been on.

    I just got kicked from the ExA (Executive Assassins Clan) server for mutinying the 13 year old commander because he couldn’t command and was clearly just point whoring. He was too busy claymore killing and raking up kills to be bothered doing his job so I mutinied as I felt the team was losing because of his neglect of his role. To my amazement I was told he “knew what he was doing" and that "so im only 13" then kicked.

    Might sound like a case of sour grapes and to be honest it probably is a little, but I'm really tired of this kind of thing and its ruining the community. I have my own server and prefer to play there because of idiots and two-bit clans like these guys. However sometimes there aren’t enough numbers available on our server so I find myself without an alternative than gambling on other servers.

    I'm also a busy guy, I got a teaching job, a family, friends and a new baby son. I don’t have much time to game and when I do get the odd few minutes I don’t like to waste it loading and reloading on countless servers run by ignorant and jumped up little pricks on an admin power trip.

    Surely something can be done to regulate servers better. I appreciate that servers are ought and paid for by customers and they have every right to do what they wish with them and reserve the rights to apply their own rules, but come on, these kids take it too far! Maybe if they want to go mad and micro manage and abuse their powers they shouldn’t be running public servers

    Am I the only one who thinks that there should be better regulations on public servers?

    Would it be difficult to have a standard set of public serer guidelines to put an end to micro-managed public servers? After all, players & servers are already regulated (all be it not well enough standard, but that’s another issue) to some extent to keep them inline with the EA service agreement.

    I’m resigned to the fact that this will never happen though, not as long as I have a hole in my arse anyway. Anyway in the meant time I suggest avoiding the ExA public server unless you don’t mind 13 year old admins with itchy admin fingers.

    There will always be a situation that comes up to tick off a mature adult on a gaming server. Don't try to find a mature server, but rather just mature friends. I find the idiots and insane on any random server or night to be much more tollerable if I have my own squad mates with me.

      Most of the 24/7 of one kind of maps are corrupt in some way. Whether it is claymore whore, kicks, or even total one sided team and spawn killing.

      Most of the games with a larger map rotation are decent. Just favourite a few decent servers and you should be fine :)

      I know a few servers are bad but hey not every1 can be happy at one time :p

        True, you can't please everyone all the time, I try to stick to my own server as I say, just feels like it's a struggle to find a decent server when our server is unpopulated. Just it seems like BF2 online is like gambling at a casino, sure you have the odd bit off luck and fun but in the end you know you are gonna leave unsatisfied and frustrated. In this case because of poorly run servers and immature gamers.

          I know what you mean. I had a wee break from BF2 (got 2142 and played that until i realised it was Sh*t!!) when i came back i got kicked from 2 consecutive servers for apparently cheating. I killed the admin with a tank 11 times when he was in a tank and he accused me of cheating and that i was using the tank hack, never heard of the tank hack TBH (dont think he has heard of supply crates and going engineer!!) then got kicked.
          2nd server knifed what must have been the admin 3 times and he warned me!! So i went medic and defibbed him just to rub it in and got kicked!!
          I tend to stick to 3 different servers that i think promote good gameplay.

          I think EA should regulate it better though.
