Opening Cups: rules and dates *update 17/03*
| |||
 After seeing a huge amount of signups and lots of discussion in the news comments of our announcement, we have decided on a preliminary ruleset and competition layout.
Tournament type and important datesBecause of the large amount of signups we have decided to use group phases for both the cups. The top two of each group will proceed towards the play-offs. The final group size and the amount of groups will depend on the total amount of signups.Please take note of the following dates: » 17/03 23:59 - Signups close » 21/03 20:00 - Start of matchweek #1 Haven't signed up yet? » Conquest Opening Cup (8v8): sign up here » Squad Rush Opening Cup (4v4): sign up here Preliminary rulesetWe have decided to allow unlocks in this cup, however to maintain a good quality of play we have made a few exceptions for the Squad Rush cup. We have decided to do so as there is currently no way to restrict these weapons and that the use of specializations is to hard to detect when playing without killcam. These rules will be used for the group phase and may be altered for the playoffs.For teams that wish to play without unlocks we have decided that they may play without unlocks if both teams agree. We advice all teams to talk and confirm these agreements in the match comments to have it all written down, in case of a match conflict. The global server settings: » Friendly Fire: on » PunkBuster: on » Killcam: off » 3D-spotting: off » Hardcore: off Global rules: Assault: » AEK-971 Vintovka (incl. GL, shotgun, smoke) » XM8 Prototype (incl. GL, shotgun, smoke) » F2000 Assault (incl. GL, shotgun, smoke) » Ammobox Engineer: » 9A-91 Avtomat » SCAR-L Carbine » XM8 Compact » RPG-7 AT » M2 Carl Gustav AT » Anti-Tank Mine » Repair Tool Medic: » PKM LMG » M249 SAW » Type 88 LMG » Medic Kit » Defibrillator Recon: » M24 Sniper » Type 88 Sniper » SV98 Snaiperskaya » C4 Explosive » Motion Sensor All-kit weapons: » M9 pistol » MP-443 pistol » M870 » SAIGA Perks: » All allowed Squadrush specific rules: » No grenade launcher » No mounted machine guns » No C4 & AT-mines » No Anti-Tank missiles (RPG-7 AT/M2 Carl Gustav AT) » Each team plays 3x attack and 3x defence. Possible outcomes are 6-0, 2-4 and 3-3 etc. During the group phase there will be one map per match. Because the game does not allow us to capture the final ticket score in a decent way the scores will be decided in side wins. Possible outcomes for conquest are 2-0, 0-2 and 1-1. The maplist will be published later on along with the groups. UPDATE 17/03  To stay up to date, be sure to follow us on Twitter and idle #esl.bfbc2 on Quakenet IRC. //your   Admin team

Isnt there some way an admin could time? ;D you get 10 minutes to destroy each objective, much simpler than tickets and will make it much faster. By an admin timing, i mean he can just start a timer out of game, when the guys say they are starting, then pm the teams. I think this will be good, dono what you think though ? Or would you even do it?
currey
squadrush will be 4 medics with m60 + accurancy perk + reddot
Spray and pray only

..Why allow the M60 in Squad Rush, its just going to be uber fail with 8xM60 bouncing around.

Or admins to come and fix the rules and remove M60, everyone knows it's overpowered so whats the point in allowing it.

To be honest i think Conquest would be better without allowing the use of AT mines either, but each to there own i suppose ^^

EDIT
Oh yeah, we need a few more tweaks made to the Squad Rush. If your not allowing Grenade launcher you need to not allow RPG/Gustav Etc, also C4/AT mines. Otherwise i can see alot of that happening.

all those "pro" kids go play some hide with cod4 or cs. This is another game with bigger options then only shitty campstriking.

Lukos, you should try to use the other half of your brain before making any more idiotic posts on these forums.

"Some final words about the killcam. Some guys stated that it's impossible to check if some guy is using specs. Well it's possible with killcam on. Killcam is, except for the option to see the kit of the enemy, useless. 90% of the time you already know where the shots are coming from because it takes multiple hits to kill someone + with Killcam off, you will switch to a general view of the map, where you can see ALL guys in the open. Personally, I rather play without specs and with killcam than the other way around. (IMHO win-win since you won't see the general view of the map, so you can't see the guys sneaking around for example)"

if you play for a powerhouse like powegaming i would def expect more of a just let it go and dont post all the time then what you guys do but thats just me.

Wastestuff.
Those matches in 1 map are over in like 15 minutes and if you play only 1 map, there's too much randomness...
Lukos
I just can't see how this will become a succes...

There will be No mod tools thats 1 thing 4sure
there's not enough to edit in the cfg files to make this game like for exmp bf2
i think bfbc2 will be a game that will be all unlocks and the best team will win imo.
no record no spec slots.
and there only 4 maps iam boord of the game already.
and the way the things go atm making the game suit for comp is the last thing dice will do the 1st will fix other bugs then inplant something to help comp scene
and btw didnt mean flamewar i mean like the vs the fin guy thats a flame:)

Per class, allow the stock weapon + the first unlock. This way there is still a choice and for the other side "it could have been worse". Everyone has the first weapon unlock or can get this within reasonable time. I think itsn't good to go for a no-unlocks or all-unlocks solution for either side or the scene in general.
Please give your opinion/comment on above suggestion

Oh yeah, why would anyone even play at Clanbase ladders? Only good things at CB have always been the Open/Euro cups but if they are played with that same retarded ruleset then gg CB, we won't miss ya.
And for ESL rules, just ban M60 if u want to remove some weapons. All other weapons are pretty much balanced.
Tallero.
Sumera just ban m60 as other weapons(and specs) are pretty well in balance, at least until dice decides to fix the RAMBO.
And unlike BF2 theres no simple server option to limit these... so to keep these "special" rules as simple as possible is quite necesary as there's no demo function to prove anything in the resulting conficts.
