Posted: Sat Nov 13, 2010 9:06 pm Post subject: COD:BLACK OPS - Current Server Rules
The Rules of the Black Ops server are as follows:
1. YOU MUST MOVE IN A CROUCHED POSITION.
By crouching you move quietly, and do not alert the enemy to your position. You can stand to look
and/or shoot over objects, but there is NO continuous 'walking with sights up', also known
as pistol walking.
2. RUN ONLY TO AVOID DIRECT ENEMY FIRE OR EXPLOSIVES.
If you are under fire, you can run to seek cover (the nearest cover). This is intended for defense,
and is not to be used as an opportunity to “run and gun” the enemy.
There is no COVER TO COVER running or BURST running.
3. NO RANDOM WEAPONS FIRE OF ANY KIND, HAVE A KNOWN TARGET.
Do not fire your weapons or throw grenades/explosives ‘blindly’, or without a known target. Randomly strafing
a building or lobbing a grenade over a building hoping for a cheap kill is just that, a cheap kill.
Most commonly you will see your target, however, sounds, tracer fire, intel from your teammates, and
spy plane can all be used to accurately locate your enemy.
Smoke, flash, and concussion grenades may be used without this restriction.
4. BE RESPECTFUL OF OTHER PLAYERS. DO NOT USE FOUL OR ABUSIVE LANGUAGE.
Cursing and/or profanity, whether in abbreviated or full form, will NOT be tolerated! Treat others with respect and
they will treat you with respect. This applies to voice chat, text chat, and player names.
5. HACKING OR GLITCHING WILL RESULT IN A BAN.
This should go without saying.
6. TEAM KILLING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
Apologize immediately for team kills (TYPE THE APOLOGY IN PUBLIC CHAT).
7. NO RUNNING AND GUNNING.
This is a tactical server, and since you should be moving in a crouch anyway, this should be easy.
8. DO NOT JUMP FROM 2ND STORIES OR HIGHER.
If you take damage from a fall, it was too high. If you can use a nearby objects to break your fall then
that is permitted. The only exception from this is you may jump from heights to avoid grenades or other explosives.
9. NO SPAWN CAMPING/KILLING.
Do not intentionally spawn kill. If you are told you are camping spawn, please move on. Use common sense: if you kill
the same person 3 times in a row in 30 seconds, please move on. Do not toss a grenade into a known spawn point.
Do not wait on a tac insert to kill a spawner. Destroy it or move on. If they spawn when you are destroying it, tough luck
for them (do not abuse this and try to pull a fast one-theater will catch you).
10. The following perks/weapons are not allowed on the server:.
Second chance perk is not allowed.
No pistol as main weapon, it is a backup.
Pistol Rule wrote:
By backup it means you do not move around the map hunting with it (or camping with it out). You move around with your primary weapon, and if you are in an engagement and need to switch to your pistol for its speed or range you can. Then once the engagement is over, you switch back.
If a player fails to follow any of these rules they will be warned, kicked, or banned.
Please acknowledge all requests by admins and fellow players to follow the rules.
Since the game is so new, some of these rules may need adjustment once we see how things
come along, so please adjust with us if any changes need to be made.
Thanks,
P
Enjoy the server!

Just to reiterate, no pistol-walking. I only point it out specifically because
most of our players are familiar with it from our W@W server, and I don't
want there to be any confusion.
Just so people understand, here are the reasons:
1) There was a big push by several clan members and guests to get rid of it
from the W@W server, but we decided to keep it at the time because it didn't
seem to be a large percentage of kills on the server (only used by a small number of players).
2) The more important reason is that if you 'walk with sights up' and are
using a sub machine gun, there is almost no speed reduction, just like a
pistol. This is just like it was in COD4. So if pistol-walking was an issue
before, SMG-walking has the potential to be a worse one.

This is the only tactical server I've found where it's member actually enforce the rules, and I appreciate that.
I was a little skeptical about the crouch only thing when I was introduced to the W@W server by Oldjohn, but I have really come to enjoy it much more than the typical run and gun servers out there.
I was really happy to see a Black Ops server run by you guys.

question about 2nd chance. some folks have said they can't change their load out and they will hit the F key which kills them are we to allow this or not allow this? I have seen some admins say it is ok as long as they hit the F key and others tell them no they have to leave and change it.

Although I or other clan members may have allowed this, this should not be the norm.
There are stock classes without 2nd chance for those who have
2nd chance in all their custom slots.

I've been the one suggesting that they press 'f'. The reason was that the player wanted to use an assault rifle and was below Level 5. Below that level you cannot remove second chance, nor can you customize a new class to avoid it. I have the same issue when I prestige, stuck with second chance until Level 5.
I always check a players level before I offer the "press 'f' advice" and request that they change it as soon as they are able.
Hope this helps.
I was also the one who mistakenly said pistols indoors only.
