Here is a simplified set of rules so clan members and guests have some guidance, and can explain the rules to other players propperly if asked  1. Normal Movement Rule RULE: Please move in crouch or walk with sights up, no footstep noise. RATIONALE: Why crouch? Why tactical? The strength of Call of Duty is its realism in portraying a WWII combat atmosphere. Unfortunately COD physics historically fail to provide realistic movement with regard to the human/player object. On one hand real people move in a direction much as do the player objects in any COD game. It is when player objects change direction, stop and start, that the physics fail. Real people decelerate over time in one direction and accelerate in another as they change direction. This gives the appearance of slowing down at the end of each zig or zag when moving in real life. On the other hand game player objects change direction instantaneously and therefore unrealistically. This failure often gives players super-human ability to avoid the effects of enemy fire. The result is a Run-and-Gun atmosphere where players dash about like chickens with their heads removed. The intent of OuT*TaCt's server rules are to negate the physics short-comings and to preserve an atmosphere close to the tactical nature of battle. 2. Quick Movement Rule RULE: Run only if they throw a nade or shoot directly at you, and then only to the nearest cover. RATIONALE: To maintain a sense of realism players are allowed a short run from immediate danger to a point of safety that is reasonably close. 3. First Equipment Restriction Rule RULE: No sniper scopes allowed: Springfield, Arisaka, Mosin, K98, PTRS or M1 Garand RATIONALE: This rule was enacted in response to player feedback. Players expressed frustration concerning their movements being restricted by choke points held down by snipers. Players found they could not pass through certain high-traffic areas because opposing players used scopes to concentrate their fire from great distances on these areas. Scopes were removed to free up these areas. 4. Second Equipment Restriction Rule RULE: Pistols only indoors and under the same roof as your target RATIONALE: Using the term "roof" is intended to indicate the bullet should never pass out from under the roof before it strikes its target. The rationale behind the Pistol rule is to respond to the fact that pistols are too accurate. The intention of the rule is to keep pistols limited to close-quarter use to negate the long distance accuracy of the weapon. 5. Perk Restriction Rule RULE: NO Martyrdom, No 2nd chance, No Rifle grenades RATIONALE: Honda has determined the effect of these perks are contrary to the concept of tactical play. 6. First Tactical Restriction Rule, Spawn Camping RULE: Spawnkills happen sometime, but spawn camping is forbidden RATIONALE: There is no realistic or tactical element in firing at a point where soldiers magically and defenselessly appear. 7. Second Tactical Restriction Rule, Camping RULE: Camping allowed for 3 min or 5 kills, whichever comes first RATIONALE: Camping is a valid tactic. Camping takes a great deal of patience and is not always reliable in providing targets. It is often used to counteract players who are proficient at quickly aiming and shooting as they move. There are players who prefer to use Camping tactics. There are players who do not like camping tactics. This rule is created as a compromise to address the concerns of both types of player. 8. First Good Citizenship Rule, Politeness RULE: Be polite to others. Do NOT use bad words or racism RATIONALE: OTaC is a person-friendly sight. There are many kinds of people with many kinds of viewpoints. Bad words, even expressed without malice, can be misunderstood as a personal attack and cause an unfriendly environment.

I am wondering what the rules are on kills when playing. I have been contacted from Honda and told to slow down. My kill to death ratio was not over 3:1 and I only went over 30 once on the 02.22.2014 when I was playing. I know that their was much discussion about enforcing rules and I failed to understand the subjective manner in which you desired to have the rules enforced. I desired to enforce the rules evenly for all only kicking for a day when someone was using abusive language with me. As I understand it the camping rule is more subjective than concrete. No one specced me though it was assumed I must have been camping on Roundhouse when both teams were actually not moving and the spawn point remained the same. I would just like to know what is expected of the "general traffic" that plays here and what rules they are to follow? Expectations should be laid out for people to follow or they will fall short of the goal. No complaint was given from MMkay that was here for a long duration of the evening. I understand that regular and newbies will have different expectations but so should members and non-members. Thank you for your time and assistance in the matter. |

so the killing rule goes as folllows: 35 kills+ on 2 consecutive maps and you have to slow down on the next nap. the camping rule, i agree, is subjective. 3 minutes or 5 kills from one given spot. over that you have to move, but if you move 5 feet or something and go back to the same spot the counters restart. how to enforce that, i dont know either. the expectations, if i'm honest, are that that the players read the rule and have exacly the same understanding of those words as the person who wrote it had when he wrote it. ambiguity is still present and applying these rules has been a bit hard, but as we are not a kick happy server, i think its not a big issue. |

Davide or any admin then I would like to ask if I am not going over 30 kills and I am following the camping rule and I am not using an automatic why am I being singled out for subjective rules that are not stated in the rules section and not being enforced on the total general public? If I enforced the rules as they are being enforced on me by Honda then I would be accused of being heavy handed in the rules application and in dereliction of admin duties. The rules should be applied to all evenly. |

I would say you are being accused wrongly. |

I think since Honda is the server owner and the one who is addressing you on your game play, then he is the one to ask that question. ------------------ Something Really Witty!!! |

Hi guys, seems like the Rules section is missing. I also checked and Downloads, Game Data and Weapons are missing too. Last edit by JuampoSMR21 at 2020-06-21 at 10:17 AM (1x Edited) |
