Extra League rules !

[12mavatar]

IMO i think some extra rules need putting in regarding taking advantage of prgramme errors in RTCW.

1. kill then revive then Panzer/ grenade launching clan members around the map and over walls.
2. invisible enemy what happens if 1 or all 6 of the players become invisible through no fault of there own.


what is allowed.

1. giving your mates a leg up over the wall.
2. kill revive if you are low on medi packs.




add your thoughts please, i need to know the outcome on some points which will make me reconsider playing RTCW in League games.

"I guess the bunk trick would be okay, but I personally wouldn't hesitate to kick someone if found to be using a grenade jump."

I've never used a grenade jump, tbh I don't know how to, but is it any different to a Rocket Jump in Quake3, or a Photon Jump in Elite Force?
Can someone please explain the problem to me, and the difference, cos neither the Rocket or Photon jump are an issue in those gaming leagues.

We're going to be amending the rules at the end of the week with some points we've come up with, we're looking at all the rule suggestions.

One rule that certainly is to be added to give a more general scope is the exploitation of map/game bugs.

The first point is to be addressed in the rules amendment, the second is not something we can do a lot about, atm. We can't penalise people for something, which as you say could be through no fault of their own. If this did happen it may be suggested by the match admin for the player/s to rejoin the server.

First point is something that would have been done in real war-time situation, which is what this game is trying to get at and it's not really seen as a bug so, it will be allowed. Secondly, kill/revive to the extent you suggest would be impossible to police, admins wouldn't know if they were low on medi-packs. As I say though in the rule amendment this issue is to be covered.

grenade jumping

the tactical itself is flawed.
Whats the point as all your doing is shoving 1 guy over a wall without the rest of his team and if i recall a one man army in this game you last for aproximately less than 1 minuite and 5 mins of the other team enjoying the slaughtering moment.

Unless, and ive not seen this, theres a sudden influx of flying allies over the wall and hey that medic + granede thrower needs a medal!

I would be very dissapointed to see kill/revive banned entirely before any testing (ie the mini tournament) takes place. I think we have to take all the whining about this issue with a pinch of salt, given that people seem to think that it's worth mentioning giving people leg-ups in the context of cheating....

invisible players is a bug in the game, theres absolutely no way to set up rules for it, team A loses and says we cant see any of the enemy players - how can you prove it? take a demo ? well guess what taking a demo will actually show the invisble players when you re-watch it

theres an interesting thread

http://www.rtcw.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3319

which explains how to fix the invisible issue, and an interesting addition near the end of the thread is a demo player script which can toggle on/off which i have tried and it actually fixes the issue without having to do a \vid_restart

i suggest anyone who dosent know of this to check out the last few pages of the thread
