I was ment to play that game, thank fuck i got that migraine a few hours before hand haha.

Just another reason why Kz2 ded servers are still the best in the business!

[Batty]

Last time did indeed suck sheep dags. One match I warmed up got a kdr of about 3:1 then some dude joined the lobby and kdr went 1:20.

In conquest you can sometimes pull through anyway but in squad rush it gets difficult.

BF3 is consistently the laggiest game i've ever played on PS3 by far.  but having foreigners in the game just makes it all the worse.

[Dunny]

I can fill in if needed. Love the game however I just don't play it much.
With the shit connection in my area there is always a game that I seem to have huge problems with and this is one of them.

Killzone 2's dedi servers were worse by allowing lag-switching. Hit lag switch on -> run around putting bullets in everyone -> lag switch off and boom you get 10+ kills. But still Killzone 2 had the best support for servers, by allowing deep customization. EA got greedy by having rent-a-server bullshit.

I have no issues with lag as long as i'm playing on AUS servers with AUS/NZ players ONLY but if that AUS server is full of frenchies and mexicans then it does get very frustrating. It desperately needs region lock on servers. Still i'll take dedi servers of any kind over P2P - I dont want to play no laggy P2P games in 2013! I mean come on its 2013! Developers and publishers need to stop with that crap of a connection/netcode, it was understandable in the last few years but imo there is no excuse for them to be still using P2P.

Lets hope dedicated servers become the standard for next-gen games.

Yeah only now and then though. Asians we all knew to be fubar, but other than that, wasn't that bad for lag. I mean hell, we were pretty much ALWAYS playing on Euro/Us servers since Anzac was dead and the lag didn't really pick up until late night my time.

Unlike hero haha!!

Same deal with BF3, late night is when the asians and frienchies start invading AUS servers.

[Saintsy]

Yet that's Bf3 even if its all Aussies.. Game lags like a bitch playing against our own country men, Kiwi's had next to US lag =="

[EMMASTONE]

You fellas will do well in the comp if you's are active. Will be good to vs yous

Sorry for the late notice - 6A homepage was down and didn't realise the forums were still up, but this is about to kick off, with the first games this week.  We're in Group B, along with 6A, Viral, NZ 1 and Corp 2, and have NZ 1 up first.  The rules are here, and in the spoiler below.  It doesn't look like there's a set playtime, so do we have any prefs?  I'm guessing at least 8pm AEDST or so?  Will hit up the other team and let you know what the go is .

Spoiler

Squad Rush Rule set.
I. Ladder format is Squad Rush.
II. All members must be on their roster, if a player plays and is not on the roster that team will forfeit the rounds that he played in.
III. Server admins will be responsible for ensuring matches have the correct map rotation and the games run smoothly ie kicking randoms.
IV. Teams are responsible for reporting their match results on the forums failure to do so may result in a DQ.

The following weapons/accessories/items/unlocks are banned.
-Usas-12, Dao-12, MK3A1, M1014, Saiga12k.
-M5K, P90, MP7, ump-45
-Xbow.
-All forms of under barrel accessories (m320/m26/buck/mass etc) apart from smoke. So smoke is the only under barrel attachment that is allowed.
-c4 & Claymores
-MAV/TUGS/Spawn Bacon.(Only reason this is banned is due to the fact that you can parachute onto buildings and you can parachute passed the other team)
-EOD Bots.
-C4/Claymores.


Battle Format

I. Squad Rush Format - Best of 3,First team to win 2 games or win the majority of 3 games is declared the winner, 1st and 2nd map is chosen by both teams. 3rd map is randomly chosen by a ref or admin. In case of a draw, whichever team destroyed the most mcoms will be declared the winner, if an equal amount of mcoms have been destroyed the match will be declared a draw.
Maps are to be played twice so both teams attack and defend on the same map.
Both attack and defense is considered 1 match or map. In case of a draw it will come down to which team destroyed the most mcoms. If both teams destroyed the same amount of mcoms it will be declared a draw.

Server Settings.
Friendly Fire - On
Kill Cam - Off
Tickets - 20
Balance Sides - Off
3d Spotting - Off
Server type (unranked/ranked) is up to the two teams involved, if they disagree it will be set to ranked. ( bf3stats.com offer battle reports which show the weapon usage etc, used it last season when disagreements occurred between teams )

Dispute process:
I. Contact a referee if any disputes occur.
Squad rush maps.
Teheran Highway.
Grand Bazaar.
Seine Crossing.
Damavand Peak.
Kharg Island.
Operation Metro.
Canals ???

Dispute process:
I. Contact a referee if any disputes occur.

i can't do tuesdays/fridays but maybe only sms/txt me if you REALLY need a player.

[Saintsy]

I would play, but no

[Dunny]

Let me know if really needed as mentioned above I always have issues with this game.

[Axe99]

Thanks guys - we'll try to avoid bothering ya - Between Outlaw, Jyks, Batty, Ati and m'self we should hopefully have it covered.  The first team are from NZ, and like to play at 8pm-9pm NZ time, which I think would rule out most of our squad, so I've asked them what they can do on weekends, but if 8-9NZ/6-7 Aus Eastern sounds good, just say the word .

[Outlaw]

I'm good with whatever time.

Added to that set of rules should be:

- AUS/NZ Only! - Will check BF3stats.com to make sure everyone is from AUS/NZ - If internationals found on the team = instant loss.

[Axe99]

I think Emmastone posted that it was ANZ only at some point, and I'm pretty sure that's the intent.  NZ 1 sounds like they're from NZ at least, and 6A (our opponents next week) are all locals .

[Saintsy]

Playing kiwis is just as bad as playing internationals
