Battlefield Ranked Server Rules & Policies

Dice and EA are limiting trusted server software distribution to our network of ‘Trusted Partners’ in order to protect the integrity of the code system. We want everyone to be able to play Ranked Servers if they choose. It is imperative that all of these Rules and Policies be adhered to in order to create a level playing field for everyone.

Server Configuration
Something to be aware of with Ranked Servers is that they will have a number of settings hard-coded so that users cannot adjust them. These settings were all set as below to keep the competition on Ranked servers balanced across all providers.

Though it is not required, we also request that all servers run Friendly Fire at 100% for all settings, including mines (sv.friendlyFireWithMines).

Every Australian server that I play on has said there going to be running the above.

Gah! I like the mines

Re: FF is coming back for claymores.

YES, I am very happy with this, actualy extremely happy with this , the dam claymore spamming noobs are gone , the abuse with the claymores was just totaly out of control .

Many maps where ruined and gameplay was destroyed by the claymore spammers, in there face!

I think it sux. Mines were so much better. Dont use claymores much but never ran into the "HUGE" problem everyone was talking about.

as infantry it was a huge problem, some maps as karkand, sharqi where messed up for infantry, couldn't take a flag without getting blown up, couldn't walk for an inch or get blown up , and you can't see the claymores if they are behind the corner, also the trigger distance is way to big.

I play SF more, and finaly found a server running warlord with FF 100% , the gameplay is super on that server, on other server you couldn't go into the palace where infantry fighting is great, just because there where a bunch of claymore spammers around there

Re: FF is coming back for claymores.

Guys you have obviously misread it:

FF doesn't have to be on for ranked servers, though EA prefer it, it isn't required and regarding mines it will still be a server side setting.

Its not having FF off for claymores that is the problem, its that they can't be blown up using grenades or explosives, or GL's etc. that is the problem. If they return it as before where they can be blown up it won't be a problem, FF off is not the problem.

Re: FF is coming back for claymores.

Says not required though, so it's still optional. Although I'm becoming very tired of the constant claymore spamming on Karkand!

Re: FF is coming back for claymores.

Hmm... was this recent? I don't see a post about it on the EA news. Just sorta confused because I play on he EA US Official servers and they all seem to have it set to off. But, it it was today then I wouldn't know.

Re: FF is coming back for claymores.

Well you wont see friendly fire on at all on our server and it's so much fun!

Re: FF is coming back for claymores.

I'm not sure its a good idea that either this post remains or atleast the title of the post should be changed because its only going to cause more confusion and yet again more ranked server myths which is not a good thing because some people don't seem to read anything other than the topic and the 1st post, don't want to get some guys hopes up.

Re: FF is coming back for claymores.

Exactly the ROE has always stated it's a suggested setting, only with the patch they added the line about mines. Internode are just morons for thinking they need to turn it on, eitherway i'm glad they are as i'm sick of claymore spamming aswell.

Re: FF is coming back for claymores.

Come to www.playgeek.com we will always have ff off. Lets face it how many times have you been tked for a vehicle? How many times have you accidently killed a teammate? At our server none of this **** happens and its loads of fun...

Re: FF is coming back for claymores.

Have you ever assaulted a flag without it being spinkled with claymores ?
Have you ever run the streets of karkand without dying 15 times to claymores enemies seem to be able to walk thru without harm ?

At our server none of this **** happens and its loads of fun...
