what are the rules?

[Theo519]

I am new and dont want to mess things up...

I have been playing on the COD hardcore server.

 

 

when I type !rules I get a list of rules.

The other day there was someone abusing the language.. got kicked came back etc... Now technically that is allowed??? but will result in kick after 6 uses.

Next I was playing today and someone complained about camping... I think that would fall under the no bitching rule. A higher up mentioned that excessive camping will get banned.

 

But in a capture the flag type map??? arent you supposed to grab a site and hold it?

 

 

So now I am getting confused...

 

What should admins !warn about and what should just get verbal warnings?

 

 

Also if someone could clarify the glitching rules.? some admins allow players into certain areas where others say its forbidden Could we get area + map description?

 

I would hate to tell someone that camping is allowed when it isnt. or contradict any other rule.

 

Thanks

 

Getting more confused all the time Theo519

Hey Theo. I need to clarify my position first off. I play mainly in the Killbox server, only sometimes do I venture into the HC server. So I assume the same rules apply there as they do in Killbox. First off, camping is allowed...why wouldnt it be? The only thing I have ever seen in our servers about camping was a note from the console not to b*** about it. Personally I feel the only thing that deserves a !warn is last stand. Now if a player is going crazy cursing at everyone, and trying to start stuff with other players and admins, well then yeah a !warn for that would be deserved I feel.

 

Now as far as I know about glitching, there are no set in stone rules. I have noticed only 2 spots on 2 different maps that deserve a !warn. One is pretty obvious, and thats glitching into the pipes that are in the tunnels on Pipeline. Thats a glitch. Another is on the map Ambush, when people jump up and over walls that aren't meant for people to be in, hard to describe the area really. So when I see that, I give that player a !warn.

 

So I hope that someone that frequents the HC server will come in and comment. Like I said Im pretty sure that the same rules apply for HC and Killbox servers, but I cant be 100% positive because most of my time is spent in the Killbox. So camping is allowed, !warn for last stand, and excessive language to others/cursing and glitching. But like I said those are the only 2 spots that I can think of that would be considered a glitch.

 

Hope that helps you out a little bit anyways.

 

Edit: I forgot about Noob tubes. On killbox they are now permitted, but I cant recall what its like in the HC server, you probly know more about that than me.

The Ambush bombed out houses aren't a glitch. You can tell that the creators designed them to be used due to a few subtle things they've placed within them. Some have dumpsters you can climb on to get out of the holes. Normally you can't climb on a dumpster. Then there's a jump area that has the 'press space to climb' option pop up when you try to climb up from that point, if it's an unintended climb area it usually does not pop up. There's a ladder leading out of a hole you can reach from one of the jumps. Theres a death pit on the marine side that kills you instantly if you fall in it because it's impossible to get out of. There's only one real jump "glitch" and thats the bombed out section behind the opfor sniper area. Normally unaccesible, a well placed strafe jump can get you an invisible climb message to get you in.

 

There's also the overgrown glitch, where you get inside the hill and shoot out. The mg glitch, where they can't kill you when you're on the mg.

 

Any rpg jumps are glitches. If the person is doing it for the sake of lolz, and not actually attacking anyone once up there, I'll let it slide. It's a fun thing to try to do, but if you're going to use it to give yourself an advantage in-game then its a no-no for me.

 

 

And noob tubes were banned in HC last I checked.

Thanks for the clarification on what I thought were glitches on ambush, and as far as the others.....well I had no idea lol.
