BF2 Rules of Engagement. It's 100% official.

Re: BF2 Rules of Engagement. It's 100% official.

The ROE applies to ALL ranked servers not just the BF2RS network of servers, they can't do what they want. ALL ranked servers MUST abide by the ROE! Private ranked servers have some leeway in the rules they can make as long as they don't breach the ROE for example: no attacking uncaps till last flag.

Its a good thing that EA have finally made it aware as to the role of BF2RS and the ROE. So watch out all you guys who think you aren't required to abide by the ROE!

I still disagree, policies are just that, policies and not rules, (A course of action, guiding principle, or procedure considered expedient, prudent, or advantageous), and nothing more.

Either way I don't care, I'll mainly be on private clan servers, where atleast most of the admin know how to admin correctly

Are ranked servers allowed to make rules about how commanders should play? A lot of servers have the rule that commander need to stay at the base and command not fight or that commanders can't use armor, which I think is ridiculous.

just don't like this
"Though it is not required, we also request that all servers run Friendly Fire at 100% for all settings, including mines (sv.friendlyFireWithMines).
"

it should be REQUIRED

They should make it so that peope who drive into or run into the BIG RED SKULLS can get punished not the one who planted it!

Yes they can.

2 EA OFFICIAL PUBLIC SERVER RULES

§2.3 You may not deliberately hinder your own team or acting in such as way as to cause team mates unavoidable deaths or team losses.

§ Commander flying or in a vehicle instead of commanding

Now this rule is "not" just for private ranked servers its also for EA Official Public ranked servers as well.

I still disagree, policies are just that, policies and not rules, (A course of action, guiding principle, or procedure considered expedient, prudent, or advantageous), and nothing more.

Well you can disagree with it all you like but if you don't abide with it, even as a player you risk getting your stats wiped. So the decision is up to you.

I don't know why... but I thought this was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. The mixture of Peas and the T-Baggin durin' (Pump it! Loooooouder!) just almost made me have a heart attack at the young age of 20...

Don't EVER post anything like this again. I might die. I don't wanna' die, especially to Blackeyed Peas.

That rule doesn't mean commanders can't fight in vehicles. It just means don't fight in vehicles INSTEAD of commanding. Some people can do both.

You thought it was funny? Seriously?

I just thought it showed me a pathetic person who sucks so bad at BF2 that they have turned to the easy thing and started killing teammates who are completely unaware.

That rule doesn't mean commanders can't fight in vehicles. It just means don't fight in vehicles INSTEAD of commanding. Some people can do both.

I agree with you that that is a legitimate way of interpreting that rule, however, I entirely disagree that one can command conitnually effectively AND conitinually effectively use a vehicle at the same time. It just is not possible. Inevitably there will come a point where you should be fully focused on both and so one will suffer.
