BF3 CQ Matches - Handguns Only - Xbox
Discussion
Hi guys.
Me and a few PH guys were messing about on the PH server, and came up with a rather good set of rules which after some testing proved really good fun! I wanted to post a thread here to guage interest.
RULES:
Times and dates have not yet been discussed, but weekends and/or late evenings are most likely.
So, thats it. If you are interested, please reply leaving your name and GT, and what time or day would suit you. Also, feel free to suggest any rules you would like to see added or changed.
Kind Regards,
Nathan

RULES:
- The usual no camping, basekilling etc.
- Handguns only. All the Pistols/Revolvers are allowed.
- Grenades/Mines/Claymores/Mortars and every other gadgets are allowed. Rocket launchers and Javelins however, are not.
- Vehicles can be used to travel to each flag, but you are not allowed to kill with that vehicle unless it is a roadkill. No blasting someones chest with the tank turret for example.
- Spawn beacons can be set. As for squad spawning, you mustn't spawn on squad mates if they are engaged with a target. This could prove unfair in 1v1 situations.
Times and dates have not yet been discussed, but weekends and/or late evenings are most likely.
So, thats it. If you are interested, please reply leaving your name and GT, and what time or day would suit you. Also, feel free to suggest any rules you would like to see added or changed.
Kind Regards,
Nathan

What's your gamer tag Nathan?
Obviously only admins can decide rules and servers locks on the PH server so unless you already have a couple on board you might wanna involve us all before telling folk this will happen. Should be a group des idiom made by all those who actually paid for the server (just saying, it's the fair way and I know if I suddenly could not get on the server with my name above the door I would instantly go into sever settings and change them so I could get in)
Haven't been on BF3 for a few days but will try and be on with a few admins this week (still have to sort that list as a couple of folk offered to contribute).

we were mooting this last night Civ whilst having a play and yes there are lots of things to consider. Nate (cossieburn) is obviously better at sorting stuff than me and struck while the iron was hot and has put it out there!
Can we let this threadrun to see if there is any interest? (it might not take off!)
And then we could discuss brown envelopes stuffed with ms points.

It's OK Baron, just that when the server does full up there are quite a few regular users who are not PH and do not join our parties. I get quite a few messages from general players who comment that the server is in their favourites list because of all the fair play rules we have in place, I even get messages from (non PH) regulars reporting base campers and team killers as they now know we deal with it.
It's these players that we don't want to loose (always nice to have fodder
). And the last thing we want to do is kick people from the server who are playing well just with normal loadouts.
We have talked about private handgun only type maps, we even tried a couple of games when there were no other players about. General opinion then was it got boring very quickly and then folk just started being cheeky and using normal guns.
Cool idea in principle, but takes a hell of a lot to change the server map lists, descriptions and settings... and from memory you cannot disable weapons apart from the motorized type (and seeing as we still get PH members acting like total dicks I can't see every player staying 'fair' ). Switching to private is doable but it will only switch at the end of a game that's already running, the re-start server button never seems to work.
Totally agree to let the thread run but all of us admins needs to be fully in the loop and in agreement (as it's us who have to make it work
).

Before the rent-a-server update I managed to play a few games with some guys that operated a similar scheme, I chanced upon them one evening on a squad rush game where I couldn't work out what was going on as the enemy made no effort for the MCOM until they were down to the last ticket, then the squad I'd spawned into let them walk up and take it. Turns out they weren't playing for the MCOM's but rather the other rules they'd imposed, I'd get a message at the beginning of each round saying what type of weapon was allowed i.e. sniper rifles and knife only, or pistols and RPG. It made for some fun games in the end, and helped practice on some of the weapons I personally don't usually use.
Unfortunately since being accepted into the PH platoon and accepting Baron Blanc's friend request (ta for that btw) I've been unable to get online due to work commitments but I'm hoping that should be sorted out soon leaving me to get back online, and back on the PH server. Once I'm back into it though I'll happily play along with any game mode to be honest, as long as the all to common f
kwittery of base camping or team killing is suitably policed.
ttfn,
Al

Hi Civ,
I am not an Admin, so the rules would not be something I could enforce. However, I was not suggesting that this is something we should definetely do. It's just that we experimented with it last night, and it proved great fun for all involved so I thought it would be worthwhile to see whether many players would be interested.
If it did go ahead, you wouldn't really have to change anything on the server, as it's just a case of looking at the kill feed and making sure everyone uses the correct weapon.
As for locking the server, this would only have to be done if the entry numbers are high enough. I'm sure that if they knew what was going on, Non-PH'ers could join in too. Infact, there were a few random people that joined in after I sent them a message explaining the handgun rules (Don't worry I explained that it was only for one match!). 2 of them sent me a message today saying how much they enjoyed, so I suppose it could prove enjoyable for most.
Again Civ, it's just an idea. I suppose that if there is enough interest, you and those that donated could mull over it.
Cheers!

It will be pre-arranged with plenty of notice, so that should be fine.Could someone please set up a table showing who is interested? I'm not able to do it on my phone. 
Like civpilot says, leave it to the admins and see if it generates enough interest here.But here goes.
| Day | PH Name | Gamertag | Interested |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wednesday/Friday | cal216610 | cal216610 | Yes |
If anyone can fix it so it's works better.
