BC2 Server Rules

Welcome
The 2nd ID is a tactical clan and we try to play with that mind set.

Squads/Squad Chat
Using the in-game squad functionality and voice chat is HIGHLY recommended. All players using the voice chat are expected to do so in a mature and professional manner. Inappropriate or inflammatory language will never be tolerated. Players who are not in squads or participating in group tactics will be the first ones kicked if a 2ID member cannot access the server because it is full.

Base Rape
Do not enter the enemy Main Base except to deprive the enemy of assets. Steal the vehicle and get out. Also do not Spawn Kill the enemy in their Main Base. If you find yourself unintentionally spawn killing say you're sorry and back off, that's all it takes and everyone is happy.

Vehicle Theft
Do not steal vehicles from your own team. If someone else is already standing in the vehicle spawn area, do not race them to the door. Wait your turn. Likewise, if you see someone repairing a vehicle do not jump into it and drive away.

Jumping/Hopping
Repeated hopping during movement is called 'Bunny Hopping'. Typically this is employed to avoid fire and cause foes to miss due to trying to track a target. Repeated hopping is against our rules.

Stat Padding
Stat padding is not acceptable in any form. Anyone caught doing so will be banned without warning.

Spawn Suppression
This is when your team has all routes of exit of the enemy spawn covered. This is allowed it does suck if you're being suppressed but it forces your side to work together as a team to make it out of the spawn area. Smoke lots of smoke!!!

Use Of Sights
The use of sights (open or other) should be done all the time. A shot that is not aimed is a wasted shot. Not a Kick/ban offense just healthy suggestion.

Chance Encounter
Is an encounter that happens by chance or surprise, i.e. coming around a corner or moving around in the dark. In these cases there is not always time to shoulder your weapon, and firing your weapon from the hip is acceptable.

Defense/Camping
Is where one stays in one spot and defends an area or route. Some people like to call this camping and consider it a form of cheating. Not in the Tactical Realism world, it is a real tactical tactic both in the real world and in the game.

Glitching
This is practice of finding a flaw in the map design that allows you to hide inside/under walls or map terrain. If you are caught doing this, you will be banned no questions or warnings.

Perks/Weapons
There are no restricted Perks or Weapons. You may freely use any you like.

An Admin Wronged Me
If you feel an Admin has kicked you or called you out unfairly. Do Not argue in game. You will most likely get banned if you do. The game is not a forum for debating the rules. We want everyone to feel at home but mistakes can and have been made. If you feel you were treated unfairly please send a private message to an clan member here on the website. They will be more than happy to discuss the issue with all involved and find a resolution.

I Disagree With A Rule
The game is not a forum for debating the rules. Please send a private message to a clan member here on the website. They will be more than happy to discuss the issue with you.

Language
Please keep it clean. We are a family server. Women and children play here. It is a good show of maturity and manner to not be a potty mouth. It also shows respect to your fellow players to refrain from using bad language. Yes, we know the game is rated M and that it uses bad language as well. That however doesn't mean that we have to do so or lower ourselves to that level of communication.

Offensive Names
Offensive, crude names/nicks will get you kicked, coming back with the same name will get you banned. Please use a different soldier with a clean respectable name/nick.

Unsportsmanlike Conduct
Grief'ing, being a Hater, being excessively annoying, obnoxious, childish or otherwise disrupting the game and others enjoyment of the game by picking a fight, egging on or any disruptive behavior will get you kicked or banned.

Blank/Black PB Screenshot
The 2ID periodically audits players using the PunkBuster screenshot feature. Under normal operating conditions, Punkbuster should not return blank screenshots unless the player is tabbed out of the game. This server implements a three strikes policy on blank screenshots. If three or more blank screenshots are returned for a player during a game session, the 2ID reserves the right to ban this player from our game server. Exceptions to this policy will be made for any known technical issues documented or confirmed by Evenbalance.

Conclusion
These are the RULES that we play by on the 2nd ID server. Please follow them and all will have a good time, and if in doubt let good sportsmanship rule the day.
