Battlefield 4 Explosives into or from the uncap?

[ElectricSTD]

In the server the rules read "No explosives into or from the uncap" but on the forums here it is not stated that way. I think the community needs a clarification on this issue. Thank you.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The leadership team will look over the rules in the forums and server to get them updated

I was always told that it was both ways, then was told the other day it was just into.. so, I'm a bit confused as well. Agreed on a clarification as well. Causes a bit of a issue when in lockers on this from teams/Admining.

Yes I was talking to them in TS about the confusion between the scrolling rules and the rules on the website, and players have had a hard time as well. I had asked about sniping from the uncap. The rules here say that you cannot camp vehicles in the uncap, and cannot shoot in unprovoked, but shooting from the uncap is okay, especially if you are pushed all the way back. In Siege of Shanghai there is a player named SIMO who regularly camps on the roof in uncap as a sniper. We get complaints about him. I searched the forums before kicking him and found a ban request that was also denied for another player, who was camping in spawn with a sniper rifle, as it isn't against the rules. Therefor I did not kick SIMO. However, it does goes give the enemy team permission to shoot into the uncap to take him out. When I asked in TS for clarification the other day, we came to the conclusion it was okay. The problem is that the scrolling rules in the server says do not camp vehicles or personnel/soldiers in the uncap. This gives players on the server the idea that SIMO is breaking a rule by sniping from uncap, even though as an admin, I go by the rules on the forums and what is stated in ban contest/requests by leadership.

Here is an example from yesterday of a player getting upset at SIMO.

Explosives as in grenades/airbust/rpg I have admined players for launching them INTO the uncap, but I have not admined players for launching them out. It is quite different and I hope we do not prohibit both. It is a big concern for lockers, as when your team is pushed all the way back to the uncap, it is very hard to get back out. I am glad we do not allow explosives in, because all the enemy team will do is airbust the uncap exits while they sit on an ammo box. However, launching an rpg and throwing nades out of the uncap door is one of the only ways to get them stepping back away from your uncap. The enemy team can easily decide to fall back, they don't have to sit there and get spammed by explosives if they don't want to, but the team in the uncap doesn't have that option.
