Good thing right? Like some of you guys said in the TS channel during the game: Its our duty to shape them up to good players!
Really needed because I never saw as much bunny hoppers as last 2/3 days :P
So what is your ruling on non-T&T members "helping" out the new guys? I had a guy that I just tought how to go crew member and use the APC with a gunner. But stuff like bunny hopping or other bf2 'nilla tactics?
Well we don't have any rules about helping new players, just don't try and teach them dirty tricks! :P
bunny hopping dosent work anymore - 2 jumps and your sprint is gone.
everyone should be helping out new players - in the long run it will make the server better.

I know man :) But it still happens. this guy just bunny hopped 3/4 times. In the middle of the street, jump jump jump to the side. Now im not that whiny and picky about this stuff because in BF I think bunnyhoppers are actually easier to kill but it just look silly :P
Anyhow: just wanted to start a topic about this and have a chat.
wardle mate, it may ruin your sprint but unfortunately you can still jump when you have non left :(
The only time i miss a bunny hopper is when i'm laughing too hard..Bunny hopping is in fact against our server rules... so warnings and kicks should be applied if it becomes a real issue. For some gamers it just 2nd nature to jump around like idiots :p
good point heskey - as tommy says its against server rules - difficult to enforce though as you wont know who it is you are shooting at (as their nametag wont appear).

hehe jep :P Its always easy to take 'm down. But it just looks so weird! :P Gets you out of the whole reality atmosphere and in to a game setting. thats the thing that bothers me most.
Any of you guys noticed a lot of new players? I only noticed it with the hopping and the new guy in the apc. Think its a good thing though! the more players for PR the better!
havent really been on the server that much since friday - but TS was pretty full lyesterday afternoon, and the server was full - we will see how long it lasts.
Not too sure about the kit request system at the moment - but the new US gun sounds are amazing. I was stood next to a guy on Muttrah when he was shooting with a US kit - bloody loud !!!!!! lol might need to turn down my headphone settings.
I picked up a US SL kit on muttrah as well - I headshotted 2 US guys at about 100 meters one after the other (I was stood still for about 5-8 seconds before I shot) so the accuracy seems pretty good.

Yeh Im pretty fond of the new update. Like the kit system and the sounds!
I'm noticing a lot of new players of course, there always is on a new release; that's why our server was full when I woke up at 11am on Saturday and Sunday - Was dead last weekend!
I've not really come across them in the squads I'm in, but there's been some great games so I can only assume they're a good bunch. I've only seen a few bad apples so far but worryingly enough, I've seen their names before! ;P

Main problem I’m having with the system is because people can't quickly get kits anymore, when they see a crate or apc they run up and grab whatever l33t kit they want because its like a treat to be able to get one. Regardless of whether they need it or not or what the squad leader has assigned them. So whenever i take a squad past a crate i seem to end up with a bundle of kits that i didn't need or want in the squad.
havent experienced that yet - although spawning on muttrah yesterday I was delighted to see the supply crates there so I could get a kit, so I can see the point. I havent really played a full round in a proper squad yet though..............might get on tonight

I find the opposite people dont even bother with request kits unless the sl tell them. Thats what i found when i have squad led apart from one person.
From the Server Rules (http://www.tacteam.org/forums/showthread.php?t=1939):
"Bunnyhoppers and prone divers will be banned without warning (this is war, not ballet)"

and I have yet another experience. I honestly didnt notice anything different. Leaving main with kits, than usually a firebase that still has some crates. Altough now that Im thinking about it. When you spawn at a rally its hard if theres an APC there. Altough this is kinda realistic as you need some proper base to get special equipment. So sending in an APC to drive away troops is actually working. Even without him killing them. If the enemy infantry has some sense they would just not spawn anymore or retreat to get some AT weapons.

That's all i needed to hear :up:
Fecking hate them bouncing away trying to avoid being slotted, much stisfaction when they fly everywhere.
Dickheads must think this is CS or SOF2 :p
the point about actually identifying the culprits remains though - how do you know whos doing it unless you get someone from the other team to ID them?
It's more of an ethos than an admin edict (Gunny - ok?!) but the fact remains that bunny hopping etc is best suited to Riverdance. If I see someone doing it, and can ID them, I'll kick them without warning. Banning is a bit harsh - I was drunk when I wrote that rule ....
Nope, you said now Oh Mighty Epoch :jump::jump::jump::jump:
worked surprisingly well the first days i think, yesterday on fools road was the only FOKED round so far tbh
The previous Fool's round was hillarious. I attempted to SL and we came top by 1000's of points yet didn't see any action, because all the Russian players solo'd their assets and got blown up and quit, so the whole Russian team was screaming for a restart whilst we steamrolled them in 20 minutes = /
I saw one APC that round and that was it, not one infantry man, nothing. To top it off it killed me as well, and I was the HAT guy :( We won stupidly quickly anyway though.

lol thats karma for you indeed :P
Funny those rounds where you hear all the fighting around you and you cant seem to get to it.

.... quite simple really... picture this..
Your anti tank runner has just been cut in half... you send your most fearless grunt to retrieve the kit, however whilst he is running back with the kit he takes a lot of fire, you put up covering fire, but it does little, you then observer your hero jumping around and prone diving like a ballerina, amazingly he makes it to safety and your bunker....Don't look him in the eye, he has disgraced your unit, you know what to do. !b atgrunt prancing around like a ballerina
Basically you can only admin your own team. :tom:
lol at Tommy - like the mental image !

Yep for a simple hop its too much hassle! And seeing that everyone whos on here usually plays in the same team (and usually thats also the team with the T&T spirit) we need another method! Spie's!
