Thought I could get past the nonsense of BF2 and CS:S? I thought wrong. My first CoD4 multiplayer experience has been on that sabotage server (edit: title) with a buddy and his brother. Two days of fun, right? Right. Early in the morning, around 2 to 4 AM PST? Dead wrong. I suddenly become aware of obscene rules that I've never before seen in effect by way of spammed admin warnings.

Don't bunny hop. Already knew, but I'm fine with that. Then they start hitting: don't stand and shoot. Don't duck and shoot. Don't go prone and shoot. Always be zoomed in. Expose your profile so you're an easier target for everything in sight. Don't stand in one place too long. Don't pick your nose. Don't spawn camp unless the spawn camper isn't you and only "accidently" happens to be next to the spawn point (this one I actually asked after I was brutalized five times in a row before I could turn around, but gently poo-pooed).

I'm sure there's some way to translate this all so it isn't an arcane pile of crap, but wouldn't it be easier to learn if you weren't frozen on the spot for target practice, and the rule warnings are spam-scrolled away by kills and more rule warnings? It's still a fun server, but steer clear of the rude, self-important admins.

I don't usually name names, but nK.Asmodaeus has the outright honor of entering my internatz hall of shame.

[edit: no clue if he was actually the spamdmin, but was an ass all the same; made the mistake of returning later only to get a smug "ahh" message from the console]

its funny how gay ass servers put these crappy rules so that they can kick your ass all over the place.

i got banned from 3 BF2 servers in the past because i use C4 on an enemy tank.

I've seen "no running" and "crouch only" servers, along with one admin who bitched that I jumped out a window, saying it wasn't "tactical."  My advice, avoid a server with "tactical" in the name, they always seem to have some pretty dumb rules.

And of course, theres always the "Esc" "Leave Game" button combo that solves any problem.

No sniper rifles, no martyrdom, no p90m no m4, no jumping, no crouching, no flashbang use, no grenade use, no grenade launcher use.

Gay servers, all together grow a spine pussies.

Edit: The server is playable, the ping excellent and they'll lay off of you after you've made a habit of showing your face every now and then, but I honestly cannot recommend it.

The days of those are slowly disappearing. I miss Jedi Knight 1's open-ended hacking ability. Wasn't that hard to trick the CRC, and the hack wars were great.

Well, the server's normally fun...except when they keep giving self-righteous pricks admin rights. I join a couple hours ago and play mostly-happy games.

Game 3: A screaming mob of arabs round the corner, I don't have time to 'aim down my sights.' Mostly dead mob of arabs results and I am killed. Admin bitches at me, but is thankfully quiet when lambasted by the rest of the server.
Games 4-~9: Rashes of spontaneous kicking occurs for minor offenses.
Game 10: I shoot at two people with a shotgun without my sights. My grenade kills two people, but I die. Suddenly I see a spam of yellow text and a litany of rules associated with the exact activities conducted by 90% of the server, most of whom never get the boot. Now most admins I've come in contact with didn't care about shotguns at all, but:

Thumbnails.

Question 1: Why did I go back on? I've a couple friends on there.
Question 2: Do I have to walk 0.5 MPH with a shotgun pressed against my face to be realistic?! The weapon is designed for close and quick encounters, ffs, and doesn't have the range to be worth aiming. And CoD4 doesn't even have a squad system to actually make use of teamwork, so the thing is mostly a loosely-organized team deathmatch.

But that's just the thing. For the most part, it's good enough (and you don't have to always dodge guys with grenades hidden up their ass crack), but occasionally some of their 'bosses' decide that it's pretty cool to find a guy to fire warnings at constantly. Then there's the zero-tolerance sight Nazis who don't even care if you're caught off guard or firing at point blank range. If you can find one of those, Mazal Tov.

THx, I´m actually somewhat excited. The Servers I played on so far never had weird rules like this one.

Why would they put all these ridiculous restrictions on? If the game was actually played like that it would be boring as hell and no one would play it.

I have played on so called tactical servers.  pfft.  Stupid rules and usually even more stupid admins.  That crouch only stuff is seriously messed up.  There is nothing tactical in crouching all the time, not even hidden dragon style.  If a nade comes my way I ain't crouching to get away from it, and I certainly ain't gonna let myself be an easier target, wtf is that about?

I have found one S&D server that I play on a lot (TheBadCo.com).  They have created their own mod that handles most of the rules and although you are required to aim down the sights they won't kick or ban you if you are "spooked" and RNG.  You will get a warning and too many of those will get you kicked or temp banned (hour or two).  I have a great time playing there and if you want something with more realism, as in a tactical combat simulation, then this is the place.  They have a system where you have to bandage yourself if you are bleeding or you will bleed out.  Your gun can jam and you need to fix it.  If you jump from too high your legs will break.  I mean this is close to REAL as I've seen.

I think those of us who are, or were, soldiers will really enjoy this server.  I know I do.

Oh yeah, they have some of the most impressive community maps I've ever seen.  They have backlot2 which is about 3 times the size of the original map.  Mega fun.

It is a mod so it isn't ranked but I think we are all ***** Generals now anyways so it doesn't matter.
