Limiting kits is also against the EA ROE for the Battlefield series. Rules against camping however are completely within our rights to enforce.

Last night, on defense, I can't tell you how many times the box would be flashing while 2/3 of our team was lined up at the edge of the map, making zero effort at all to move in to disarm. We don't need people like this on our server. We have regs who can't get into the server because jackasses like this are taking up the slots.

While this smells like more of an "oops" strategy (it is somewhat of a shame that BC2 has no unified commander slot like in BF2 that can order squads around) (as I have noticed it on the [CoFR] server as well, where the defenders can get baited out too far to the perimeter and someone manages to flank and arm the bombs then everyone gets into hasty defensive position on the respawn), perhaps we could use some CSS-style rules, particularly for Rush maps, where failure to attempt a defuse/disarm violates "Pursue your objective, or die trying". In particular for Rush defenders as there is no ticket limit on defending side.

:6 I do not think the kit that the person is playing is the problem. Every kit can use a shot gun. We need to focus and call out the people's names. If some one sees there name being put out their. They will comply to the rules better. So lets get to typing more on the game. Type you later evilblackjack. Lets keep it simple. :9

Evil has a point. Any kit can use a shotgun, g3, thompson and get up in the fray . I don't think limiting kits is a solution and as WileE said we can't. BC2 is a new game and I don't think we will drive the entire population away if we start being harsher on our teamplay standards.

^this.

on offence any sniper sitting out of bounds and sniping should be kicked. meaning behind the line where the defence cant cross and die.

stat padding is a HUGE problem and I blame CSS and bf2. nothing grinds my gears then when I'm running past the same person trying to defuse. Or trying to get to the mcoms and dying over and over.

however on defence snipers are more in line because there are tickets to take. If the bombs are getting defused snipe all you want. I almost never have a positive K/D on offence. On defence thou i can put up some high K/D's because i can camp and defend a com.

Far's i know the admin program is fubar, takes far to much effort to ban/kick. but i think the admins should be taking some time in game and looking around with the free cam. and kicking.

It's getting better. In-game admin functions is coming... Hopefully very soon.
