ROE Update from EA/DICE

[IndianScout]

Please note as the ROE Is a living document it will be updated from time to time..

new Server Settings section has been added,

this is a global ruling and applies to both public and clan ranked servers..

§1.20 GLOBAL CONFIGURATON SETTINGS – ALL RANKED SERVERS

• § Min Players: 16
• § sv.password = empty string. Ranked servers may not be password protected. Ranked servers are intended to be available to all players.
• § sv.numPlayersNeededToStart = (6 for maxPlayers 16, 10 for 32, 10 for 64)
• § sv.spawnTime 15
• § sv.manDownTime 15
• § sv.ticketRatio 100
• § sv.teamRatioPercent 100
• § sv.punkBuster 1
• § Though it is not required, EA requests that all servers run Friendly Fire at 100% for all settings, including mines (sv.friendlyFireWithMines).
• § Ranked servers must be entirely "pure" with no customization outside of the default content shipped by DICE/EA. Ranked servers will not be allowed to run Mods or Custom Maps, as we cannot ensure the balance of these components. Custom maps are never permitted.

§1.21 TK PUNISHMENT

• § Option A: TK punish is optional for the player by using the pgup/pgdn voting system.
• § Option B: TK punish is to be set to automatic or on, but may not be set to off.

Re: ROE Update from EA/DICE

It should be like 20 or 30 for 64 player map minimums

Re: ROE Update from EA/DICE

OMG! Not allowed to turn punish off??? Thats the most stupid idea ever! No offense to anyone but it is outrageous! The best server I ever played on had it on off, everybody is happy except for the pagedown-happy kids!

where as I value your opinion, when you use language like this, you tend to lose credibility,

all of the trusted partners have been updated on the rules changes, so you will have to abide by it..

Re: ROE Update from EA/DICE

But why support the most abused function in BF2? Why can't we have -2 for any teamkill like 1942, even if you are forgiven you get a damn -4!

Re: ROE Update from EA/DICE

dont you wonder why people say stuff like that about bf2rs ? because they are fed up with the crap your lot comes out with.
i really would like to see what your going to do about servers having punish or ff off... since very few people will take notice of this...

i see no problem with this - the tk punishment is part of the game mechanic - if it is abused people get kicked, simple as


I'll repeat my question - what is the reasoning behind having a 10 player minimum for a 32 player map when 8 should be sufficient to start

It's simple.. if you don't like the rules that EA comes up with, then you can find other servers to play on. I, for one, do not like the limits they put on ranked servers so I only play on unranked servers. Vote with your feet.

Regarding the punish system.. I feel that it is probably one of the worst ideas brought to FPS gaming in quite a while. It creates animosity between players which actually decreases teamwork. Simply kicking a player for X amount of TKs is a better idea, IMO. Having actual human admins to deal with problematic players is an ever better idea.
