Admin Decision Boots/bans

**Druxus** · 01-10-09, 11:00 PM

Whats with the admin decision boots and bans, I got a 1 minute ban/boot for idle time, is this an auto server thing or actually and admin thing. I was actually in an anti air stationary when it happened. and does this count against me in some way?

a 1 minute boot/ban is probably auto.

If you got kicked for being idle it is auto. You have to move at least once every minute or so.

And no it doesn't count against you in any way...other than the fact you have to rejoin.

There is a 5-minute automatic idle kick script. Just being in a vehicle or turret doesn't count as non-idle time; BF2 is funny that way, even if you're using VOIP and communicating and so forth. It's usually not a problem in vanilla, but it can be a bite in PR where sitting time is much longer.

Just quickly jump out and then jump back in every couple of minutes, or move the vehicle back and forth a little ways to reset the idle timer.

It is never a good idea to sit statically in an AA anyways. Stand near the AA but only hop in it if you see something to shoot at otherwise your a big target. If you have sat in an AA position for 5 minutes and the jets haven't ripped you apart 10 times, your doing something right, and please share with us how you did this.

I should have been more clear. In PR on the AA. it used to be in previous versions of the AA you could shoot at infantry too (before they made it Missles) and you'd just sit there waiting for enemies...

I'm not going to tell you how I did it or where I was located at, but I have done it. On Dragon Valley, I took out at least 3 or 4 jets, 2 Attack Choppers, 3 Blackhawks, and yes they knew where I was but it took them damn near 10 minutes to finally kill me. I pissed 'em off fairly good. My positioning was such that they had a hard time getting locks on me or bombs for that matter. My commander was also nice enough to keep me with resupply crates as well
