First off, you're all giant pieces of **** who can't play. Alright, now that's out of my system...

It's enraging getting banned from servers for solid gameplay, this was my fourth server my team mates and I were banned from just because the admin can't take the same guys being on the leaderboard more than three times. Last time I checked, the only way you're going to improve your game is by playing people that are better than you.

There's nothing complicated to this post, it's actually very simple. Nut up and play through, your server or not. If you think we're hacking, boot up Fraps and send a video in on us. Just so Crytek can say, "Why are you wasting our time?." There's only so many American servers out there and if this keeps up, I'm screwed by the end of June.

/sigh

If there's anyone who owns a server and will NOT freak out if a player or two has a 3.0 KDR. Please by all means say so. (It's a free advertisemant!)

I join my voice to u good sir, because not all people play like noobs.

I don't mind good players, but I do mind when they go around in text chat (sometimes mic chat too) saying stuff like "lol u r all noobs hahaha I am so pro". My server embraces good sportsmanship. If someone feels a need to externalize their so-called greatness in the form of an annoying text or voice chat after EVERY KILL THEY MAKE they're looking at a ban.

We never talk in game we're always in our mumble so that has nothing to do with us. This is just genuine gameplay bans, that's why it's so infuriating.

Waaaah I need a bottle.

Cool story, get me some fiji water and while you're at it learn to troll.

Thanks Knives!

Waaaah I need a bottle.

This reporting has caused more hassles than good. I can't understand why THESE IDIOTS can't implement something like Valve's Anti-Cheat(VAC) or Punkbuster..

Is it so hard?

If you actually read the thread it's not reporting cheaters that's the issue here, it's server admins abusing power and banning people from servers because they got owned.

An issue with any dedi server game not just crysis 2.

Noob covered it and if you think PB and VAC isn't "hard" to do, then you're quite misinformed.

Anyways on topic...

After playing with you and against you guys I have to say your too good for you own good. People do not like dieing the same rate as they would at a hackers hands. Its that simple.

I rage against you guys becuase some time it is BS(thanks to your crazy good latencies. Which how do you have such good ones in the first place) and you do explot a lot weakness in the game( the super combo that you said you guys didn't use.) I don't know but pub servers will ban you guys just to make it better for the pubs. I am sorry but you guys skill/BS will keep you off a lot places quick just because you do bring a hacker like feel with you. Just split up the team more often. A lot if good clans on BC2 during pub hours had people on both sides to keep things balanced(and keep the server popular) if you guys do not do this you should get a server just so you can justify pub stomping.

This. If you came rollin in a server 3 or 4 deep and start destroying the pubs, you 3 or 4 will be the only ones left after a while. Do we keep the server full of regular players who are just out to have a good time, or do we let 4 guys that practice together all the time kill the fun for everyone? It's not called "skill" - it's called "team stacking" and most other games would ban you for this as well.

Anyways on topic...

VAC itself was only meant as extra protection against cheaters alongside server admins anyway, not for cheat protection on it's own. This is why MW2 failed so badly because infaility ward used it as their only counter measure against cheaters, which means the cheaters could roam free for a month without fear of getting banned or kicked (you can't report cheaters on VAC at all).

Well, this game include vocal chat... But many players in PUB or on CLAN
server don t know what is TEAM PLAY.
If pub players have a brain, they would used vocal, they would play WITH
their teamate and don't just think about kills. Players on a pub can beat a
clan, i have see that many times on many games.

Well, I'm not a good player, so I don't have exactly that problem. But I sometimes got kicked/banned because I was able to kill the admin.

We absolutely do NOT use the Stealth Enhance/Energy Transfer/Mobility Enhance. Do not accuse us of that. We have a decent ping but we also all have very high accuracy and NONE (besides typatty) of us use stealth. We're practically gimping ourselves with underused loadouts and removing stealth from our play-style. If you can't handle that then too bad. We just need somewhere to play together and skill and teamwork should not be condemned.

Yes what Sdub said. I NEVER use stealth. I have 51 minutes total out of 2 days and 16hrs of play time. I'm an ex MW2 player and a lot of my play style carried over. In order to be good at this game, you really gotta be FAST and accurate. It's not easy to counter this play style, yes i understand. But the community should learn how to be fast, be strong and be the weapon. We are genuine, good players who basically found eachother and work very well together. Again, we would prefer not to pubstomp but there is no organized clan/team based play in this community yet. Gets frustrating. Last thing we want to be accused of is exploiting and hacking, as we respect other gamers by not being hackers. Oh, and everyone L2AIM.

BANK Gen3r1x - Team Vault

Simple solution: rent your own server. Problem solved.

Yeah the thing is there's no n00b only or anything like that in the server description you'd think it was a server for all.

On the other hand if you got a sort of clan going together why haven't any of you rented a server yourselves yet?

That would be a better solution than getting kicked each time you better someone on their server.

@teh_n00binator

D, Do they have power up there?

Solution: Play only on friendly servers you know.

You need a your own server nuff said. Besides you SDub. I have seen almost every one else use that combo. Maybe not 24/7 but once or twice to great affect. I like you guys but it is almost like versing hackers many of a time. THAT IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE. I know you do not hack but if your this good, servers will ban you(and your team) to keep people around. Just get a server and own noobs there or just split team to stop people from raging against you but actually enjoy your team. Its simple really.

Topic blew up? Fun. First part on topic then break into the posts here....

It was just SDub and I playing as a duo when we got banned yesterday, I was running a Loadout Pro build and SDub was running around with a Grendel. My original post still makes plenty of sense and if team stacking is with two people then you may want to re-evaluate your playstyle.

This. If you came rollin in a server 3 or 4 deep and start destroying the pubs, you 3 or 4 will be the only ones left after a while. Do we keep the server full of regular players who are just out to have a good time, or do we let 4 guys that practice together all the time kill the fun for everyone?

Team stacking? Not skill? What the hell is this? You're acting like the objectives to this game is HARD, Christ. Also most other games don't ban you when you play as a team in a pub, you clearly don't play FPS games at all. I'm going to zero in on you and you're the the recreational gamer who likes to play every now and then. Good for you, there's nothing wrong with that, but we should clearly not use the lobby system that Crytek made for us.

VAC itself was only meant as extra protection against cheaters alongside server admins anyway, not for cheat protection on it's own. This is why MW2 failed so badly because infaility ward used it as their only counter measure against cheaters, which means the cheaters could roam free for a month without fear of getting banned or kicked (you can't report cheaters on VAC at all).

You're completely right, my bad. Point still stands on PB though

server don t know what is TEAM PLAY.
If pub players have a brain, they would used vocal, they would play WITH
their teamate and don't just think about kills. Players on a pub can beat a
clan, i have see that many times on many games.

THANK YOU! If I could stand up and applaud you I would /ehug, I completely agree with this statement, pubs have the option to play as a team and beat us if they just think about communicating. If they don't do this, that's their own fault and doesn't make sense to point fingers at the group who originally formed.

Simple solution: rent your own server. Problem solved.

On the other hand if you got a sort of clan going together why haven't any of you rented a server yourselves yet?

A five man team should pay for their own server because other people can't handle losing? To answer both of your questions, we don't believe in clans. The ranks, tryouts and drama stuff we don't go for, we're here to play and compete. We're Team Vault and have been screaming for scrims for the past week, we still haven't gotten a response yet.

Solution: Play only on friendly servers you know.

That was part of the point of my original post did you not read it...? I have received a few PM's after this and I appreciate that greatly.

just split team to stop people from raging against you but actually enjoy your team. Its simple really.

I'll take no for 1000 Trebek. Why? Because we're all friends and want to play together. People act like we're criminals when we play together, the reality of this is we're all just friends who enjoy playing together. We're not going to sack our fun just because people get butt hurt.

A pro group should handle their business like a pro group. Bringing your whine session to a public forum is classless and should be dealt w/in pm's or other private ways. You're like the guy who wins the lottery only to complain about having to pay taxes for the prize he just won. You don't wanna be kicked/banned either get ur own server or dumb down your play. Otherwise, stfu and deal.....

Professional talk, here we go.

Point me to the league for Crysis 2? Nope.*
Point me to a team that will scrim? Nope.
What does that leave? Pubs.

It's a sad truth at the moment, but that's all there is.

*=Not referring to ESL as they restrict half the things in the in game.
