Funny Servers; What were they thinking?

There are times when the KN Mix and S&D servers are full and I am forced to go trolling around for somewhere to play while I wait for a spot. I have to say, there are some funny server rules out there. I guess all it takes is for the server admin of a clan to have a bias against one weapon or perk, or several, and here are the results.

I've played S&D on a server I think is called MiRC where they don't allow claymores. Hmm. How much fun is this? None. Everyone has lightweight and marathon and it is the only S&D knife fest ever. OK, that's not so bad...every time I get killed by a claymore I'm cursing them too.

But crouch only? Who thought this up? People who don't like the lightweight/marathon combo? I tried one of these servers once (even worse it was a crouch only/sniper server). I was laughing so hard at the start to see everyone slinking away in a crouch, I spewed soda all over my monitor and had to leave.

But, the king of the silly servers has to be OutLawz S&D server. No running. Yep, no running. You can only run with 30 seconds left or when the bomb has been planted. Also, no throwing a grenade without a visible target, no using a launcher without a visible target, and no tubes. In addition, no diving, no jump shooting and no jumping around corners. I like the "no tubes" rule, but that's my own bias. But what is funny is walking...WALKING into the middle of Nuketown without grenades flying all over the place. Funny how serene Nuketown can be for a nice Sunday stroll. But some maps, like Discovery, can take 1-2 minutes to walk across. Although it is nice to know that my Flak Jacket/Steady Aim/Ninja combo can walk onto the bridge on Discovery without fear that Jake has already run all the way around the map and is about to hatchet me from behind.

The strangest thing is that I am starting to dig the whole "no running" thing. Once you get over seeing everyone leisurely strolling away from the start, it gets really intense when 10 seconds passes and noone has been shot, then 20 seconds passes, 30 seconds passes and everyone is still alive and you start wondering where they all are. The only problem is that when I play there I have to remind myself not to run. I start saying, "I'm walking....I'm walking" out loud and my kids are rolling on the floor laughing and giving me lines from The Green Mile, "walking boss...we're walking boss."

I wouldn't recommend this type of game for everyone, but you owe it to yourself to try it one of these nights while waiting for a KN spot to open up. I know there are a couple of Lawz guys that play on the KN servers and they seem to be a decent bunch. So if you are old and fat, like me and your reaction time isn't what it was back in the Pong days, this walking stuff just might work out for you too.

Grungir, Thanks for the report. I honestly have to tell you, that I litterally laughed out loud several times while reading this. The visual images I got of a stroll through Nuketown, and the walk about were pricelesss.

It is interesting to visit other servers from time to time to see how other parts of the community play. Everyone's take on the game is somewhat different.

We often change the way the game is played. We generally do this though the use of mods though. It's hard enough to regulate gameplay without trying to get everyone to play in a certain way just by server messages, and binds.

I've played a few "tacticle servers" that employed these types of rules and tactics. A crouch only S&D server is what I was told to be a "beer drinking" server. Since there was generally a long period of time when you got shot early, and plenty of time to drink beer while you watch the round complete.

All in all it's all about having fun in the end. We've enjoyed your presence in our servers, and in here. I hope that you continue to play with us, and maybe eventually make it on to Teampseak. See ya around man, thanks for the games and the laughs today.

I agree, it's hard to get used to crouch and no explosives servers.
I'm waiting to find a prone/knife only server.
Now that would be some exciting gameplay!

Grungir, The last few days have been decidedly without laughs for me.

However, I remembered this post, and had to come back to it. Still as funny as the first time I read it. Maybe it's just me, but all the visuals I get while reading it.. It had me laughing out loud again.

Sir, I hope you get to use that talent somewhere in real life. You truly can set a scene.

I'm always amazed at the people who come in and at the first claymore blast.. ask, is that allowed? Very funny writing Grungir.. and we appreicate you coming into play when a spot opens up!

I too like to slip into these servers from time to time and find myself talking.. walk, crouch, timer.. has the time gone by I can throw a grenade yet? Only to be then blasted from an overhead 'nade'.. thrown too early by one of the offending team members. Who get a warning, but doesn't remove the fact I was just killed!

OFAW is still in my favorites.. but the tactical S&D is a constant work.. I lose quite often!

Great post!

I still go into the Lawz server from time to time. Just gotta remember to walk. I can't do the tactical S&D. If I have to type !rules 10 times just to make sure I see them all it's not worth it.

The other day was funny. Poor guy (he/she was a level 4 - 0 prestige) asked about second chance five or six times, even though everyone was answering that it was OK.

Speaking of Second Chance, it's one of the last Pros I need and I've put off trying to get it because of how bad Pugs torks me off when he guns me down with that darn pistol. I've called him every name I could think of and even made up a few new ones. But when I got my first Second Chance kill last night I got this warm and fuzzy feeling all over. So, unless it's a headshot, don't turn your back on me anymore after hitting a few rounds.

Its only going to get worse as time goes on.

Should see World at War servers, I dont think one exist that doesnt have some stupid rule.

hardly any of them play seelow which is the biggest draw in WAW, its become very very bad, Black Ops will probably eventually hit that mark as well.

yeah finally.

I think what was happening was I ended up using some modified patch that kept putting in a mod and some reason it wanted to run and download every server I went into. Not sure where I downloaded the patch from though, but the official sites never offer them anymore that I could find so I had to find alternatives.

So I deleted profiles and everything and the game still was detecting old names some how, I never figured it out, but that mod mess was gone. Tried out some servers, I think only 2 of them I could ever tolerate though. Game aint bad but the servers, rules, really none of them out there very appealing.
