Hi all,Sensible answers only and lets not get into a fighting match...

picture this...BF4 as Engineer class, got a shotgun and pistol on operation locker.. 4 snipers allowed per team. My team have used up all 4 slots and all 4 are outside sitting in tents on the mountain doing naff all.

The enemy snipers are all guarding C, every time we try and shoot boom dead from sniper, only way i know of to combat a long range weapon is to smoke and run or use a long range weapon to counter attack (obviously shotgun and pistol are doing nothing over 3-400 yards)

So use 1 RPG gets rid of the 2 snipers in the tower... run in shotgun 2 of them pistol another my team rush in we capture C then "you have been killed by server rules" for using rpg... what else can we do in this situ? We cant sniper or DMR back as all slots used... soon as try and sneak with a rifle snipers get you.

Seems unless you just try and die time and time again then the server punishes you! Its war for god sake surely there should be no rules just get on with it? any way rant over :)

So whats your take? i know there are some "no rule servers" out there just frustrating your doing well in the zone and get punished for a stupid rule! if the devs put it in the game surely its ok to use it!
 
Many whiney server admins and players love restricting weapons. A far better approach is for active admins to kick people that are abusing game bugs - however, using an RPG isn't a game bug so that isn't a valid reason to kick people.

Basically it comes down to people crying about being killed and then imposing whatever restrictions they feel like on their servers.
 
Yea i agree, i tried having the convo last night before being banned lol they all replied with "RPG noob"

Just wanted to check wasn't me!

RPG spamming or something yea fine thats annoying but 1 shot to clear a nest of snipers is a good way to clear em out :)
 
I play on a server that restricts snipers, might even be the same one

Surely there's always a way to kill the snipers? Maybe try a vehicle or try a mortar or something? Having 4 snipers not doing anything to help on your own team is down to poor players, not the rules per-se

Any multiplayer game can be ruined by bad players...
 
Yea i see your point, but having a weapon in the game available to me to use to get over being pinned down, but being banned for using it is insane in my mind!

Haven't unlocked Mortars yet lol & there are no veichles in Operation Locker :(
 
agree, rpg/explosive spam is just annoying, but when used tactically it helps progression :)

that and if a sniper stays still/misses me long enough for me to guide my SRAW into their face then maybe then should think of a change in profession xD (talking outdoors, on top of a mountain, in the middle of nowhere snipers now ;) )

I remember the debates about sniper limits and weapon restrictions from BFBC2 where it was pondered that these restrictive servers could be taken down ask they were against the T&Cs of EA, not letting people play the game the way it's supposed to be played? doubt any server actually got taken down for it but.....has a point. but then again.... don't like it... play a different server xD

I don't go join on my mates if they are playing a lockers only server only to go on and then complain that the server is restricted to only lockers :p I go off and play a different server ;) a BIGGER and BETTER server...with VEHICLES :D


is it only RPGS you get kicked/killed for using on inf or all explosives? if just rpg, grab an airburst and feed off the tears xD
 
Online FPS games always have people that complain about a certain weapon/perk etc.

E.g. in MW2 me and a friend would always use the grenade launcher (n00b t00b) and akimbo G18 pistols (gay-teens), or sometimes the Spas-12 (shotty n00b) and people would go absolutely mental when we were consistently the top 2 players. I explained to them multiple times that we were both using weapons that they all had access to. But no, somehow they thought by only using certain weapons they were better players, even though they got beat, repeatedly.

If using a certain weapon is a game mechanic that everyone else has access to, and not a glitch/hack, then no one has a right to complain
 
lol loved my dual p-90, dual g-18 marathon/stabbing pro on MW2.... just be running, vomiting out bullets everywhere and stabbing people from 20ft away xD

I like locker now and then for the close quarter "corridor" action - level up my shotgun!


Nah anything even a 5 kill nade limit ffs lol
 
The MW2 days were the best :D

Locker is a great map for TDM and leveling up. Think I leveled up my grenades to max within 1 or 2 games on that map :p
 
There are far more annoying weapons than snipers and explosives which is why I try and avoid restricted servers. I like the challenge of taking on people who use more irritating means of playing even if I totally fail and rage quit :D
