solution
Ok this is my last opinion on it, I will continue to post this same message in the other 5 threads I have found concerning this. Please take note and tell me what you think about a solution. - no arguing -
Background Info:
1. reconnaissance: a preliminary survey to gain information; especially : an exploratory military survey of enemy territory
2. Preliminary: something that precedes or is introductory or preparatory:
Ghosting cannot be refered to as "recon" Recon is something you do first, not after the fact.
Suggestions to combat GHOSTING:
Give server admins such as myself more than one option.
1. The option to turn freeflight ghost cam off, this would allow you to follow your teammates still but not see what everyone else is doing.
2. The option to turn off teamsay after death, allow the dead players to talk openly with the rest of the players but not in teamsay. This on a server where it is not accepted to ghost would certainly bring ridicule to the people giving away positions.
3. The option to turn teamsay off after death and allow only the dead to mumble back and forth to each other.
4. The addition of tactic information. ie. information from say "headquaters" or something of that nature that is displayed upon reaching the 90sec marker, giving general but non specific information to whereabouts of remaining players(teams specific) based on map locations. example: (Headquaters): Enemy location secure: North Main st. And this too could be a server option.
Giving multiple ways for an admin to combat this would be wonderful, my server would fall somewhere in the middle with maybe one or two options on. But to each his own.
Can we all agree on some simple choices like the ones above? Admins find the nitch they like and so be it. Match rules be agreed upon between clans just like any other rules. ? ? ? ?
