camping and not helping your team

**Sgt.Walters** · 08-13-08, 10:12 PM

I've about had it with people who come on the server and don't help their team or just camp the whole time. I think its time we start cracking down on this and don't give any leeway. My suggestion is to tell everyone, like how ya'll have with the checkout ttp.com in the different colors that pop up, and as soon as you see someone doing it you kick them.

I know this is not the place to be asking this, but would it be possible for me to me an admin for cod4. I want to start enforcing the rules that this is not a "do what you want server", but that you have to help your team, cannot camp, and be a team player.

You can probably help the admins a great deal by pointing out who are the problem players. They usually are dealt with promptly.

Here's a hint in getting extra attention to your admin call: Before you type anything, use the ^ symbol and type in a number symbol 1-9 (never tried 0, I'd assume it's white). This will change the color of all text following. It's a real nifty trick that's bound to get extra attention.

Admins are on constantly watching, but we cant catch everything all the time. A simple "Hey admin so and so isnt helping the team" will suffice. If said player is found guilty of non teamplay, action will be taken.

Another note to remember, admins arent superhumans. If the player that is camping/not teamplaying isnt kicked withink 2 seconds of your saying something, dont freak out and get angry. Simply be patient, the problem will be dealt with.

Indeed, like about 30 minutes ago, it was 3v3, Overgrown, Domination, I had a team of 2 people that were new too the server, and the other team had good players that play the server every night. Well my team ended up losing because they were both back at the gas station the hole damn game, while i was up capturing flags.

iv'e bitched plenty in everyone chat to get admins' attention. it's not that hard. put a few spaces or >>>> in front of it, then all caps. everyone will bitch about the all caps, but at least admins will see it.

the biggest thing to take away from this is you HAVE to call them out. if you don't, and the admins miss it, you can only blame yourself.

I like that...a global warning that goes off all the time says "Camping will get you kicked/banned from our servers"

There were a couple last night that I'd never seen on the server before who were definitely solely concerned with their KDR. They were seeking out our spawn areas on HQ maps rather than going for the objective. I'll keep an eye out for them in future matches and if they consistently are doing that I'll report them.

I also had to settle down a couple of non-regs who were clogging up the voice comms with idle chatter and animal noises. Thankfully they stopped after I got a little rude with them. That's annoying to the extreme on a team based FPS because the success of a round can hinge on hearing someone around a corner or calling out opfor positions. It can have the same effect as a TKer.

I was just playing and there were a few people not helping and camping. We kept telling the admin but nothing happened. there needs to be a crack down now.

If they are communicating with their team (which a couple of them were) then they are fine.

I can assure you, every time you complained about a player an admin specs them. If they were camping then they would have been kicked.

Many times we simply yell at the offending player over VOIP and see if they start moving. If they do then no problem. If they don't we bring things to the next level.

I know what he means though as a few people like Agency and some other guy with an E (I'm really bad with names and I can't find them on the stats right now, I'd know the names if I saw them) were camping and manning the machine gun a lot, but would seem to move after we said something and then would continue doing it again.

If they are communicating and the team agrees, that's fine and dandy I suppose but when we see them still manning the machine gun when the bomb is down and no one is around it, that is unacceptable I'd think as the rules state persue the objective or die trying, and most of the time, neither of them were when I watched them.
