A lot of people in MBT are discussing whether roof camping should be allowed in the future phase of Malaysian Comunity servers ( currently taking over by MBT). So I would like fellow battlefield 2142 players here to be aware of this since the venue of discussion is at their site and do require registration and await period for approval.

What ever the ruling, I will abide, regardless whether it will be active inforcement of the ruling or not.

Here is what my opinion regarding this & replying to mousey66.

"newbies dont have The beacon.Have you thought of that?
Best to make it sure everybody can do what everybody else can.Anyway Roof camping is not REALLY fair if u think about the majority. "

My reply (grammar and spelling mistakes and all):
But thats one unlock away. Pretty confident for a newbie to be sporting a beacon and squad leading don't you think?


I hate to go all Karpal Singh on you but what the hell:

EA allows it. On 1.41 patch fix.

http://www.battlefield.ea.com/battlefield/...X&storyid=15377

- Further fix to prevent "pod surfing". Note that some pod movement will still be possible and is an intended gameplay mechanic to allow the player to have some small choice of landing site and to access rooftops

On the 9th points pertaining to fixes that will be adressed in Patch 1.4 are pod surfing exploits, EA the producer of 2142 clearly state that acess to roofs are by and large a part of the game. So to deny oneself of this feature of the game would be to limit ones enjoyment of the game.

I understand the desire to create an environment of equality in the server but we must adhere to the rules set by the game maker and producer as they have the best vision of what the experiences the game should offer.

If you think about it, new players can never be equal to people that have ranked and unlocks. These rank ups are made to differentiate between players and make unlocks and ranks have value. Forcing equality to fit new players only belittle the efforts older player put in for their unlocks.

Let us not make up rules at the expense of play experience shall we? Especially if its already legal within the game.

Yes you can make rules to extend and force equality for all. Force people to only spawn as soldiers, play knifes only or whatever. If there is consensus among the players of the server at that moment, fine. But to force it officially at a server level it not what was intend by EA. Last time I check knife servers are still illegal in EAs views as they are breaching the contract for ranked server in terms of rules & play experience.

IMO, there's nothing wrong with the roof-camping

Yeah, rightfully it shouldn't be banned, just not recommended. Besides, most roof-campers are a bunch of noobs anyway. Who aren't joining the game for teamplay but just to get top frags while ignoring their flags.

yup wht redbull said..... roof camping is for noob

I'm still worried about the unfairness to newbie players who have just started playing the game as opposed to those who have been playing for quite awhile.

This problem is very glaring in BF2. Not that bad in 2142.

But that's another kettle of fish alltogether.

So room camping is allowed ? then what about pod steering? in order to roof camping you need to pod steering. Is it allowed in MBT server?

podflying from on end to the other is not archiveable with the new 1.4 patch...
so roofcamp will not by archived by pod flying...
i dunno to me i dont mind roofcamping.. its not that hard to kill those ppl up there/destroy their beacon

since 1.4 is out i think its impossible to roof camp.

anyone tried yet?

do i really have to admit myself?

You guys know how I roll. Im not asking leniency on roof camp rules as a camper. I point I am trying to make is that, roof access is aceptible no matter how small a chance it is now. I just dont want to see it made a rule, as I feel that it limits gameplay. PLus like cyprinze has stated its not such a big threat.

As long as its not by pod surfing which the the new patch has nullified, I'd be happy.

roof camping is still possible...
pod surfing not possible.

Well i really like to try it. Dont say i didnt tell u.
