Rules & Scoring

Jan 23 2012 at 09:43 PM #1 TheHiram
While it appears the maps have been specified, what about rules and scoring? At this point, we have to assume that all equipment & weapons are legal (including MAV and Mortars). How many maps will we play? Require a lag test (load map)? It is difficult to load the exact map on console if you want to have a lag / load round. It would be best to have completely random maps. Also, who will host each match? And finally, are we scoring crates or maps? Best of 3 etc>? We need to have these rules defined.

INTERESTING RULE:

" DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THIS CONTEST IF YOU ARE NOT A UNITED STATES RESIDENT."

I know that there are teams with non-US members on the roster.

Also, how will we verify a roster in a match? I don't think that Gamertags are shown on team rosters here, just account names.

Explain this one to me:

"The lower ranked team at match time will host the unranked game server via Xbox Live, and invite the other team into the game lobby"

There are no unranked servers empty and there is no pre game lobby... Also how are we supposed to set game settings (like friendly fire) when we have no control over the servers (back to no pregame lobby / private match) Same issue applies to the picking sides

They obviously made the rules for PC and didn't edit them for XBOX.

Yea still looks like they haven't addressed that issue.. Not even the default hardcore settings match there settings list so guess we all automatically forfeit and no one wins on xbox so they keep the money?

Also been seeing discussion about MAV being totally banned as well as no exploiting out of bounds (flanking / to chase and kill), a plantronics admin said rules were update and they were on PC but not xbox..

Guess I need to go buy a gaming PC if I really want to play this game
