Some of our basic rules have been adjusted to make them more clear. We won´t list those minor adjustments here. The news is concentrating on the bigger changes and additions.

2 Primary Weapons & No Recoil

We are aware that there are some bugs that might give you an advantage over your opponent. To counter that we will officially allow abusing one bug in the game. A How-To has also been added to the rules.

4.2.4. Bugs
Using bugs to gain an advantage is forbidden in general but there are specific bugs that can be used in ESL matches. Using those will not be punished.

4.2.4.1. 2 Primary Weapons
It is possible to play with a second primary weapon instead of a secondary weapon. Follow the steps below to play it. Keep in mind that this is a temporary solution until the issue gets fixed.

• Create a new equipment pack.
• Equip the “Loadout Pro” nanosuit module.
• Choose a second primary weapon instead of secondary weapon.
• Join a server that has nanosuit modules disabled.
• Select the equipment pack you created before.
• You can play with two primary weapons now.

There are other exploits involving attachments and therefore we are adjusting our rules regarding weapons & equipments. Instead of punishing the use of forbidden attachments we will punish players for adding them to your equipment packs.

4.2.5. Weapons & Equipment

The following list gives you a brief overview which weapons and attachments can be used in ESL matches. If a forbidden weapon or attachment has been used the opponent team can stop the match and open a protest. Also it is forbidden to equip those attachments. Having them attached to the weapon will be handled like using one. The violation will be punished with 2 penalty points and the match will be deleted.

Server Settings

The Capture the Flag Opening Cup helped us finding the best server settings and therefore we have to adjust the rules for our Capture the Flag ladder. The auto revive time will be increased from 3 to 5 seconds.

To figure out if the opponent plays with a forbidden attachment it is useful to enable the kill cam. Therefore we are adding a new rule allowing one player or team to enable the kill cam. Keep in mind that only one player or team has to request it. It doesn´t matter if the other team agrees or not.

Agreements

ESL matches must be played using the default ESL settings. However there is one server-side CVar that can be changed if one player or team is requesting it.

New Ladders

We have started a new poll today allowing you to decide which ladder will be opened next. Every user will be able to vote for two different ladders. This new ladder gets opened in about two weeks.

Which ladders would you like to see in our section?
We hope you had so far a great time in the Crysis 2 section and we are always open for improvments. So join our community and discuss everything in our forum.
