Hi people, firstly an apology, I know these sorts of threads aren't popular reading - so if you don't want to hear about childish admins, stop reading now.
Now, onto my post:
Ok, where to start, I decided tonight to play a spot of BF2, and rather than wait for the server list to populate, I pick one of my 'favorite' servers; the ones bookmarked.
Anyway, off my list I decide to play on the CoD clan server "www.countdown-of-death.de", located at 82.192.78.83:17567, think the map was Jalalabad to start with, but eventually moved to Karkand.
I notice most of the clan players are on the losing team for the three games I played, iirc, think it was 2x Jalalabad and 1x Karkand - the latter being the round I was kicked, and then banned. This may be part of the reason for how they behaved?
Now, being British and not knowing a word of German, I can't exactly hold a conversation with these guys, but I think everyone can get the gist of server rules; one here mentions that commanders should not fly (I'm guessing drive etc too).
Fair one I think, I only plan to play (poorly) sniper tonight, but when it got to Karkand I decided I'd play the engineer class, fancied a spot of landmine death for the US armor
So, the round starts and I spawn at the last MEC flag (just over the bridges - Gatehouse I think it's called?), and I have already sussed where my mines are going - one near the bride on-ramp by train accident, one in the water crossing, one at the top of the ramp from the water crossing, and one either end of the ramps to the flag. Sorted.
Now having played many rounds on Karkand (regarless of forgetting flag names) I recall other MEX commanders hiding in some buildings near the Gatehouse (?) flag, so I do just that.
Game is roughly 10 minutes in and one of the CoD guys has already hit a mine, when my scan picks one someone near my position, who has supposedly just swam from the recently capped (by the US) train flag.
Being only a few yards from this guy I run out and shotgun him to death - dead sniper, but also another CoD clan member killed by me.
It was shortly after the above that I was kicked - reason in the PB window said something along the lines of "commanders play/command only" - strange, thought I was doing that (UAV scans and all!)
So thankfully I get to re-connect, but end up on the US team. I must say at this point I did think about shouting (well typing) at them for an answer, then tking for fun - but I do pride myself in a little sportsmanship.
The MEC were a player down so I switch sides, oooh and the commander spot is open, so I take it and start at gatehouse, and proceed to start dropping mines - this 5.1 is handy for letting me hear far away sounds, especially the US Lav-25 who is just coming to cap the Gatehouse.
Sadly the Lav runs me down before my mine arms, so I spawn as spec ops, and lucky for me not only is the Lav not looking at me, but his passenger is out fixing him - a quick prove and he's dead, followed by a mad dash and C4 death for the other guy. This may have sealed my fate - two more CoD guys down
So, to cut a long post a little shorter, I eventually got to respawn as an engy and planned to lay some nice traps for the next Lav run; but the 'injustice' of earlier was still playing on my mind so I took the oppertunity to ask the admins what I did?
So my questions went so:
"Any COD speak English?"
<think I then added something about being kicked>
"That's BFROE admin abuse CoD guys"
"I was banned for not commanding when I was?"
Now, I did get replies from two of the CoD guys, in English, I don't recall what, but it was possibly an answer to my kick; basically I think they said I wasn't commanding.
So, report submitted and screenshot attached - sadly I didn't get one for the kick, but hey ho, nothing will be done about this - just good to let other players know how poor the CoD admin are.
Phew sorry for the mega post, if you made it this far well done, have a JD and coke on me
Scort.
