Specific definitions of Hell Let Loose – Team vs. Team Server Rules The following numbered list of all server rules are in accordance with the list of above. Each rule has a subsection explaining the intent of the rule. 1 No intentional team killing/Griefing Commonly called 'TK'ing' or 'Team Killing' - the purposeful or accidental killing of a teammate - is not allowed on this server. Do not team kill, this is grounds for instant banning. Intentionally Team Killing a 7th Cavalry Admin while actively being an admin will result in an instant ban from the server. If you accidentally Team Kill or hurt a team member apologize immediately. Intentional destruction or disabling of friendly equipment, e.g., getting vehicles stuck so others can not use them. Spirit of the rule - Intentionally team killing other players or griefing teammates is detrimental to the spirit of team play. While friendly fire and equipment loss is a reality on the battlefield, it is unacceptable and should be avoided. 2 No Offensive Behavior No racism nor sexism of any kind. Any racist or discriminating remarks or names will result in an instant ban. This includes inappropriate use of demeaning accents. No inappropriate discussion, political or religious discussions or references including names. No inappropriate usernames are allowed. IE. Sexual, Racist, Inappropriate/Offensive in nature. No disrespect towards other players or admins. No disrespect towards the 7th Cavalry Clan. No disrespect towards the deceased. No disrespectful or offensive abbreviations. No elitist attitude towards others or taunting. No mic spamming. No trolling. Spirit of the rule - The 7th Cavalry tries to create a fun environment without drama where people can just get together, play and have fun in a tactical environment. 3 No Camping Headquarters Bases Intentionally choking an uncapturable spawn area, blocking all areas off from escape. Enemy Combatants may engage players using artillery as artillery pieces are located in HQ. The HQs may only be engaged freely if the final Objective is active and located in its sector. You cannot attack the north HQ spawn if the objective is in the south HQ sector. You must be actively trying to move forward and leave your base unless utilizing artillery. No camping the HQ behind enemy lines, play the objectives. Spirit of the rule - This rule is about fair competition. We want everyone to have fun, therefore everyone should get the opportunity to fight back. If you see that the enemy is unable to get out of their spawn area you need to fall back; if you don't, you are ruining their fun. The exception would be if the game mode forces you to move in to spawn. 4 Each Squad Must Have an Officer/Squad Leader All Squads in game must have even either a Squad Leader or an Officer Kit. The 7th Cavalry Regiment encourages focused team-play mechanics that are synonymous with the in-game mechanics of Hell Let Loose. Not having an Officer/Squad Leader prevents the section from having outposts and from placing Garrisons. We believe requiring an Officer/Squad Leader to be in each section enriches the server environment and contributes to a high level of game play and enjoyment. 5 All Squad Leaders And Commanders Must Have A Microphone Squad Leaders must have a microphone to communicate with their squad and other Squad Leaders. Commanders must have a microphone to communicate with their team and other Squad Leaders. Using text chat only is not acceptable. Spirit of the rule - It is too difficult to lead while using text chat only, voice communication must be used to be an effective leader. 6 No Solo Tanking or Solo Locked Recon Armor must be occupied by at least 2 people. No "lone-wolfing" armor. Armored sections must follow orders of Team Commander. No solo locking recon, all recon must be open or have a sniper. Spirit of the rule - Armor is a vital asset to each team. Before there are 20 people on each team, it can be annoying to have an armor asset decide the course of the battle due to low population. To make best use of the armor, there needs to be 2-3 players in each tank. Locking squads prevents players from possibly having the experience they joined our server for. 7 Seeding - Combat Strength Under 20 vs. 20 (40 players total) The middle three sector points will be the only playable objectives. Combat Area - The six central columns containing the active, playable objectives. The final objective columns are off-limit. In-game squad leaders are responsible for reporting any infraction from their in-game section to a 7th Cavalry Admin (MP) or Member with tags to enforce these rules. Commanders may not use offensive abilities during seeding. 8 No hot mics, soundboard or other inappropriate use of comms channels Only intentional speaking is appropriate in the comms channels. Sound boards, music and other distracting noises are not permitted. Excessive unintentional noises such as breathing, microphone handling noise or background noise are not permitted. 9 Do not recruit for non-7Cav communities on our server. Do not recruit for external communities on this server. This will be considered disrespect to the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment and punishable by permanent ban.
