What is the dumbest rule you seen on a server?

Banned for saying noob.

the point is dice/ea could have done something to stop baseraping but instead didnt put any thought into and this has therefore created baseraping in the game and made alot of people unhappy when it occurs and dont get me wrong i hate it but why didnt they do something to prevent it in the first place??

[Catziggy]

I imagine its because Dice have released many versions of the Battlefield brand and have relaised that server owners are capabale of deciding various rules for themselves!

Actually, if you look at the layouts of the Uncaps, they are set up for defense. Look at Camp G. You have the rail-guns, the walker, EU's is way in the back, and lots of cover. Port Bavaria you have rail-guns covering the approaches and plenty of cover plus the pods to get out of the general area of the locked base. The problem you have is that most players on pubs don't work well enough together to overcome the players coming down into the uncap. So, as server owners we put rules in place to help the "general public" have fun and stick around.

If you want to, you can always take out your credit card, or mom and dad's, and rent your own server and do what you want with it.

well if the layouts are for defense then baserape away then and why the server rules?

rules help but most people dont obey them hense the need for some sort of intervention from the game its self

i prefer my more cynical and arguably realistic view but fact is if the game prevented you from baseraping then there would be no need for rules and baseraping would never occur but without it the rules are only worth it if there are people/admins to enforce them

Banned for saying noob.

that happened to me, and KAIN the most popular stat padding fool is the one who banned me for saying "noob"

[Advaned]

It wasn't actually in the server title,but the rule was.
Knife the admin,get banned.
Oh and
No snipers/engineers on titans.
(Basically made it very hard to destroy consoles)

[Wizrdwarts]

No sentry guns or mines near a silo.

[tuco]

a server i went in had "no going on to the sandy areas"?

LOL I hope it wasnt the Suez map

[Deesies]

Dumbest rule I've encountered was no camping the areas around an uncappable flag or main base.

No spawn killing is the dumbest rule ever. I come from a game by the name of "Unreal Tournament '99". One of the very first games I've ever played. If you let the other player spawn and DON'T SPAWN KILL, you will be dead. You either kill them asap or be killed. Anyone who played CTF IG from UT knows this. Also, there are no rules in war.

[Wizrdwarts]

UT99 != BF2142

Completely different styles of play.

[pilvlp]

Regardless. Kill or be killed.
