I'm against banning/limiting weapon use.... BUT seriously...

The m320 roof explo radius exploit is getting out of hand. 70 kills just spamming the m320 against the roof from below the main escalator at B.

Tell me that the game is meant to be played like this........... :glare:

**I copied this from the 'New Server Configuration' thread because i think this issue needs to be fully discussed.**

Problems? Solutions? Experiences? Frustrations?

What do you guys think?

I think its also good for leveling up but the problem is it lags a lot.Reducing player slots can solve it but i don't think they gonna do it.

EA's EULA Terms of Service forbids banning of weapons or attachments on ranked servers. Its been brought up before but it wont happen. I am against it for other reasons as well. You seem to do fine even regardless of the M320 and RPG and it is possible to sneak past and back capture A or push back the American team with all the spam going on.

I'm totally for banning M320 and RPG on Metro. Also put a limit to hand grenade kill (say 5) per round. The whole point of metro is to have fun and level up fast. All this spamming takes away the fun. You can still level up but is sitting on the corner with 320 and spamming it throught the map worth it? I personally only have like 20 kills with 320...had to do it for unlocking smoke...I just find 320 dull and boring.

Metro can be a decent map. In order for that to happen, spamming needs to go away. I'm not making this out of thin air. Whenever the server has less player (hence less spam) and when most of them are level headed shooters (hence less spam) the map can be fun. Also, there are few servers out there that ban M320 and RPG...and they're loads of fun and full 24/7.

There are tons of metro servers with everything allowed like ours. What makes our server special? Nothing so far...which makes it hard for it to fill sometimes.

If we have M320 and RPG ban (and grenade restriction), we can have some unique thing going on. On top of that, our server are properly moderated. Today in BF3, servers lack moderation most of the time - you can see cheats run wild. On top of that if somehow there are admins, they're usually abusive of their powers.

I would also consider reducing down from 1000 tickets. 1k ticket takes just too long. On top of that, game still crashes for a lot of us...and when it does, losing all stats is not fun at all.

Bottomline: Metro + spam restriction + lesser ticket + proper moderation = 24/7 FULL SERVER.

BC2 mods have stated in the past that server with restricted weapons (ex pistol only server) are OK!

Have to quote this. We cannot and will not adjust our servers for weapons/attachments. As for moderation, what can we do aside from asking people not to spam the weapons and kick offenders for just playing the game as intended? That's not good for reputation. We could cut the tickets down, but those 1000tks fly by in a hurry when the server is full, which seems to be ALL the time.

Bingo. If it's part of the game, it's able to be used. Servers that ban these items on ranked servers are in violation of EA's EULA, and if enforced and contested, the server could be shut down for good.

In a non-ranked server, it's not a problem. For our servers, it is in our best interest to have all weapons and unlocks as part of the game.

I have to disagree with this statement the whole point of metro, or any server, is to provide a place where people can play and have fun; if you level up good for you if you don't oh well you still had fun.

I'll agree that spamming can take away from the fun but I don't think we should, or will ever, limit what weapons people are allowed to use or how they want to have their fun. If we started banning weapons because people found them inconvenient or annoying we would have no weapons on our servers because everybody wants something gone.

there are auto mods that will do it for you. Something like in BC2.

As already stated in this thread, it is against EA's TOS to restrict any item/weapon. If you can show us evidence otherwise pls do. Discussion over Thread Closed. If you would like to further discuss this issue pls submit a dropbox post.
