I have searched the forums and Googled trying to find a definitive answer on what is an illeagal High Point Server. I understand the concept, but what is the exact config that is OK and what config makes it break the ROE set up by EA.
The OFficial ROE says:
§1.8 Players may not use or exploit game mechanisms to artificially boost their score ("stats padding") and Server administrators may not knowingly allow or encourage this activity on their servers.
This would include but not limited to:
* § Knife-Pistol-Revive
* § Knife-Pistol only Servers
* § Knife only Servers
* § High Points Servers ****
*****But I don't see any guidance on what this means exactly.
Then looking on Ea's site:
http://www.ea.com/official/battlefield/ … erpolicies
they give approved configurations as:
Min Players: 16
sv.password = empty string. Ranked servers may not be password protected. Ranked servers are intended to be available to all players.
sv.numPlayersNeededToStart = (6 for maxPlayers 16, 10 for 32, 10 for 64)
sv.spawnTime 15
sv.manDownTime 15
sv.ticketRatio 100
sv.teamRatioPercent 100
sv.punkBuster 1
and even specifically state " We do permit map sizes to be defined independently of maximum players "
so if I play on a server running a 64 player map with 16 players, 320 tickets and they require 10 players to start a round ......is this a valid server to play on or would this be a high point server ???
It doesn't advertise as a HIgh Point Server any where and I don't want to get my stats wiped out.
