In other news we have finalised the server settings for this campaign. For C1 the server will run the following settings:

Mini Map: On
HUD: On
Cross Hair: On

Re: Draft Closed & Server Settings
Just make sure you run the server with the longest idle kick time possible or disable idle kick at all during the battlesession.
why? We will have periods in between rounds where the HQ's and the TA's will sit there discuss rules/strats/ what ever and it would be a pain having to reload.
(Especially because my computer when I stop playing and restart has the annoying feature to crash every 5 Minutes which basically makes it inpossible to leave Bf3 and restart it later)

Yea, that was a given. I didn't even think that was worth posting. Kick for idle and TK are both turned off.sushi25 wrote:Just make sure you run the server with the longest idle kick time possible or disable idle kick at all during the battlesession.

3D Spotting: Off
what does it mean if turned off? As far as I know 3d-spotting in bf3 means the spot in the game screen will dissappear when an enemy soldier is in cover and there is no line of sight.
Only Squad Leader Spawn: On
Does that mean that players can only spawn on squad leaders not on flags?

No 3d spotting = no Q spamming to alert all other players to enemy location via dorito.j0n3s wrote:3D Spotting: Off

Squad leader only spawn = you can only spawn on the squad leader OR a flag/uncap.
Re: Draft Closed & Server Settings
3D spotting is the triangle that appears above a players head when they are spotted. With this off when you spot no triangle appears at all. They will only appear on your minimap, just like in BF2.j0n3s wrote:3D Spotting: Off

No, you can still spawn on flags but you can't spawn on everyone in your squad, only the squad leader.
Re: Draft Closed & Server Settings
Very nice compromise between hardcore and normal mode. It should greatly enhance battleday.
Re: Draft Closed & Server Settings
jet ground targetting will be tough without 3D tags.
Re: Draft Closed & Server Settings
The campaign is still open to newcomers. The front page post saying closed and no links or buttons to join army may leave the wrong impression.
Re: Draft Closed & Server Settings
Cross-hair on? what is this Soft-core? lol. I'm all fine with it on but I'll must likely have my draw-hud off as the Crosshairs are fairly annoying to me.
