PRMM-T (Teamwork) Servers?

Post by **requiem** » 2005-10-29 10:20

Dear all,

Would you like to see servers which enforce more then just the normal rules (TK Punish, Bad Language, etc.), but also enforce certain teamwork rules? Examples would be:

- All Players MUST be in a squad
- Players MUST follow Squad Orders
- Players MUST put the Squad & Team goals above their Own.
- Players MUST always display good online-gamer etiquette

Servers which would like to take part would then add a "-T" after PRMM, thus creating PRMM-T in their server name. The server would be password protected. The password would then be available on a public page where the rules are clearly stated. This way all players entering the server have been informed.

This whole idea is coming to light as PRMM is not like the default BF2 where you can "freestyle" your game tactics & strategy as an individual player. This would be a great opportunity for players who are not in a PRMM Clan to play as a team.

Please post your thoughts on this and make any suggestions you'd like in regards to such rules....

Definitely yes to this one ; "- Players MUST always display good online-gamer etiquette"

For the others... Well, why not? There will always be public servers for those who want to freestyle it in PRMM. (at least I hope there will be...

Great idea. It would also be cool to add a clearly visible server list somewhere on the site so people will know where to go.

Discuss what rules you want added, or what you guys understand as gamer etiquette, etc..

Gamer etiquette:
Basically the Golden Rule. Treat others as you want others to treat you.
That and common sense.
Be nice and play fair.

Does it have to be more specific than that?

I like the idea but do not like the idea of passwording the servers. It just makes it hard for new guys to join. While getting someone new can be a pain [do not know the rules] it is very important for growth. IMO.

With that said, I like all the rest!

the pasworded bit is a tough one, It would have been nice on GD server and the other one which I forget the name of, as due to the lack of admin on at the time, people soon realised this and went on TKing spree's and openly admited it

but the idea of PRMM-T servers sounds great and I'm game for it

i love this idea!!! someone make a server like this NOW!

{GD} Server Set but no password. Auto Admin Messages set but will be hard to see with the AAS Messages too.

PRMM-T .02 and AAS [Ghost Dogs]

Wished I could do a 32 player server - I just do not have the Bandwidth to support it.

Any server admins that would like to discuss and/or implement this, please PM me. Cheers

One little problem though, if you want to call it a problem.
If you're not in a clan and just join the server and suddenly you are expected to take a specific position in a squad... Precious time will be spent ingame just organizing the squads. Would be nice to have a sort of "lounge" or "Ready Room" where to meet up prior to entering the game just for the sake of organizing the squads.
That's not without problems either as people will keep joining after the game starts... But perhaps if Commanders and squadleaders could be selected prior to the game actually starting that would make life easier

Also, do you stick to one class? Classjumping could become the next olympic event.... Right after bunnyjumping, pronejumping etc....

well for a lounge, if we were to use one, the best place would be IRC I guess though I think we could quite easily do that all from ingame...

Great idea. I played on a vanilla bf2 server with rules like that. And the password could be something set, like realitymod, for all servers running the -T. Those who are interested will surely be able to find the password.

good idea this will add alot more "REALITY" to the mod and lets hope every one know how to move like a real solger aswell
