Global

- Teams may only use 1 medium vehicle at a time.
- Flying vehicles are not allowed. (Not including the Icarus)
- Teams may only use vehicles from their current spawn and/or capturable forward spawns.

Class Restrictions:
- Teams may only use 1 sniper, however there is no limit on the Covert Ops/Infiltrator class.
- There may only be 1 Field Ops/Opressor deployable, however there is no limit on the Field Ops/Opressor class.

Valley Specific Rules:
- The shielded rear strogg base is off limits. You may not take vehicles from this base nor place deployables inside this area.
- The serversettings to allow MCP destroying when off-course should be disabled, meaning that if the MCP drives off-course and is disabled it will stay at this position. These are the commands and how they should be set:
seta g_noRouteConstraintKick "1"
seta g_noRouteMaskDestruction "1"

- The MCP may not be driven left after the bridge, before the tunnel along the mountainside to prevent falling in the water with the serversettings provided in the previous rule, however it can be driven left by the end of the tunnel.

Will be interesting to see the reaction to the flyers debate. however my opinion is still vehicle restrictions must MAP dependant not broad ranging over all maps
▼
pumu 11 Sep 2007, 19:26
ye, need to wait for the fullgame to see all maps (i wasnt in closed beta)
but could be something like Cyclops OR Tormentor (same for gdf)

florian 11 Sep 2007, 19:26
agree, but imo flyers should not be allowed on valley
Parent

dohfOs 11 Sep 2007, 19:49
flyers shouldn't be allowed on any maps. simply due to the fact we play 6v6 and not 10v10.
Parent

StrykY 11 Sep 2007, 19:23
i agree with you on this one , but its a good thing that they are restricted on valley! (especialy the flyers!)

already 4 years or smth?:D etqw is still demo im sure this game will be played with only 80% of the vehicles we got in it now. Dont jugde competitive etqw from valley its a very different map compared to the other 6-7 maps that actualy work for 6v6.

Only 80% sounds quite funny :XD

oh well, I'll try it out when I get decent fps, when they have decent antilag, hitboxes and when the game has some competive mod.

ppl are laready working on a set of rules and im sure a mod will be made to implement them properly into the game. About the lag antilag etc its strange some ppl got problem with it. On a good server it runs quite smooth and I hit where I aim. Not q3 engine perfect but compare it to bf2 netcode(same amount of vehicles and map size) its runs really good.

decem 13 Sep 2007, 14:29
well, I'd like to compare it to ET(q3) :p
Parent

SonDac 13 Sep 2007, 14:32
well imageing the q3 engine with this kind of maps and vehicles :D
Parent

decem 13 Sep 2007, 14:47
thats why we need to remove most vehicles and make smaller maps, it will solve the fps problems aswell!
Parent

Penn 13 Sep 2007, 18:13
Or go and play ET.
Parent
▼
decem 13 Sep 2007, 18:24
thats ofc better option, ppl just dont realise it.
Parent

Penn 13 Sep 2007, 18:30
If people want small maps and infantry only games, playing ET is indeed by far a better option.

Heavy units in games with chokepoints aint a god idea, regardles of what way you twist and turn it.

In Battlefield we dident play flag by flag with tanks, in ET the spam weapons were removed or restricted. If etqw is going to get its competitive side maxed out (wich its need if its going to survive with UT3, COD4, CSP on the marked) it needs restrictions and heavy units dealing big splash damage on chokepoints - well what do it add to the gameplay?

Heavy units slow down attacking, add more spaming and a rush to find spam positions. Tanks wont be used in a skilled way, but in a smart way where they will be used to lock down chokepoints in ways it will slow down or even destroy attack attempts when being in positions they are very hard to take out.
