What are your thoughts on being banned from a server for staying alive after a cap out, and fighting on from a safe position with a squad? If the enemy team isn't smart enough to work together to get at you and your squad, is it just reward to receive a ban for it?

It sucks for the rest of your team who has to wait, and for the enemy who has to keep dying, but is it ban worthy?

I don't see why not. But there are much more fun ways to earn a ban...

On Karkand IO 64p, out the back of Factory on the red crane. Angle yourself looking down against the ladder that comes up, and nothing can hit you, yet you can pick off the enemy as they climb up. The only way you can get killed is if you step out too far and get sniped from the roof behind or the chimney stacks up the back, and if someone angles a noob tube up and over to land up there.

Sure it's cheap as hell, and is going to piss a lot of people off, but is it worth getting banned for.

Myself and 4 other clan mates all received 2 week bans from this ISP's BF2 servers, because one guy couldn't hack it, and submitted ban reports on us all, under the rule of "disruptive play".

I'm just wondering what other people around the globe think about it.

well as long as you were fighting i don't really see a problem with it. if you just sat there and waited for people to come up and then shot them that's kind of lame though.i still say keep it up, those IO Karkand players deserve it...

Ban, because if every game ended like that every game would suck.

And ban for aj for being too nice.

Ban, because you made it sound like you were in a glitch.

Also, I lol'd irl.

It's not a glitch, and there are a multitude of ways the enemy can kill you up there.

Also, I lol'd at your awesomely negative KDR's last night on GA Oman and Jalabad. I thought you were some kind of vehicle wizard?

I can only assume this was node. They ban for anything and everything.

Personally though, i'd say that it isn't banworthy.

I was in there when you did that, i didn't find it disruptive, i found it funny.

If my team (Your opposition) wasn't retarded they would have gone assault like i did, and use the grenade launcher to get you off, but seeing as there was about 4 of you, all medic 1 person using their head wasn't enough

Ban is a little much, but people like you are fucking idiots. You got capped out; try to take a flag or fucking suicide. Hiding like a little bitch is lame.

nahh, we smelt the cap out coming, and went and waited on the crane.

Question is, the ISP who has given out a 2 week ban for this is claiming that if you remain alive after a cap out, and don't attempt to retake a flag, it is considered "disruptive play".

Basically their saying you have to try and move out when your pinned by the entire enemy team and attempt to take back a flag. Now this is close too impossible when your surrounded by 16-32 enemy players with their guns trained on you waiting for you to poke your head out.

Have you ever played a ladder match, and being alive after a cap out, and locked down from a good position to bleed those last 5-10 tickets to win the game?

It's a logical tactic, but just because some people get pissed off by it, you can get banned for it.

Go figure.

On kubra dam I saw a guy with an M95 setup perfectly to snipe the MEC guys out of their choppers at the intake flag.

no one could find him and no one could use the choppers for the whole round

they were so pissed

No, we were surrounded by the entire enemy team. If we left the crane, we would have been hit pretty much instantly. Every time we peeked out of the edges, we would get sniped or have SRAW's nearly kill us.

When you knew the cap-out was coming...

One of you could've stayed behind for a distraction aswell.
