1 ) Respect members of RedCell.

2 ) Please refrain from cussing.

3 ) Racial slurs and other derogatory discriminating remarks will not be tolerated.

4 ) Do not use any of the following weapons on public servers or in clan games:
Anti-Armor
Rocket Launcher
Conc. Rifle
Heavy Repeater
Sonic Detonator
EC Detonator

5 ) Be a good sport. Don't get mad when the other team wins, unless they cheated. You can get mad at yourself though :P

6 ) Don't complain about noobs, ganging etc. That makes us look like a bunch of babies. We're one of the top clans because we can handle that sort of thing.

7 ) Don't be cocky. That really makes us look bad (especially if you lose).

8 ) Don't spam. It's okay to have a spam key, but pressing it constantly and filling up the whole screen is a big NO NO!

9 ) Cheating/Mods/Hacks will not be tolerated during COMPETITIVE matches. Usage of Mods or other Hacks may be used on your own time though.

10 ) Don't enter any other clans' TeamSpeak/Ventrilo unless invited by a member of that clan. Once you are there do not start arguments, conflicts, or anything else, you are a guest on their server.

11 ) Do not act in such way as to deceive or exploit the infrastructure of the clan and its members.

12 ) If you are a member of or are applying for RedCell, you must not simultaneously be a member of another clan or team for the game that you are a member of or are applying for.


Can you please make a few changes to your public server...it is one of the last US public server that still runs full-time. #4 specifically

thanks.

Clearly these rules only apply to members of this clan, but I get your point.
I think the weapons should be left alone, but I'd be curious to hear the opinions or our other members.

I think that the weapons should be left there as well. Yes, they are noob weapons, but they are also what bring the challenge to the game. Would you be more proud of an RTG vs people who are using weapon specifically designed to make your life hell? Or people using the same weapons, but not as well? Yes, its more fair for everyone to use the same weapons, but there is no challenge in that. I personally think we should keep them, as annoying as they are, but that's just me.

Everybody should know not to use Noob weaps.

Trying to get an RTG in your server is very difficult due to the amount of noobing going on. I understand the argument that letting the noobs have their guns makes the game more challenging for us non-noobs.

But I honestly believe since the RC community adopted the "new" patch and eliminated the noob weapons, the entire community benefited from it, since it forced noobs to focus on using non-noob weapons. Those weapons (Rockets, EC, Anti-armor, green nades, and even the normal thermal dets) are waay OP and makes the game unbalanced anyway. I'm sure the game devs, if they were still around, would have nerfed the damage or even eliminated the weapons (like the community did for so long).

Anyway, I'm going on and on about something that doesn't belong to me and I have no say in, so thanks for your time.

The data center for my servers are currently down. I will make sure that the servers are running ASAP.

I'd actually love to play scrims sometimes with every weapons available. I have spoken about this to some Europeans and quite few agrees with me, but what I believe is that those weapons would bring more color to the gaming and scrims. I don't see how those weapons would be unfair if everyone had the same rights to use those. I don't know who's idea it was originally to ban certain weapons. About this public server thing, I think it's only nice that the playing there isnt that easy. With no assists to the beginners it would be even worse bloodbath. And it just feels so traditional if there are some players that are trying to get you rocket'ed or aa'ed and you are trying to dodge those shots as well as you can. I think its just part of it.

False. Also, RTGs aren't the goal of the game, you don't have a 'right' to RTG. If you're not good enough to get one against people who use noob weapons, don't complain but just get better.

I'm not going to respond to the "just get better" comment. I still believe that the weapons need to be removed to balance the game.

maybe you need to get your own server then !
