GoW2 New Ladder rules

[mac1210]

Reading a thread on epic looking into the various problems with the new gears i saw that game battles have introduced rules to try and by pass some of the games problem. These are;

Hammerburst only, with the consant chainsawing and the fact that a shotgun cant stop a chainsaw i think this is a great rule.

No mortars.

No flameflower. I dont realy see the need for this rule

No frags to stop mindless frag tagging

Will WOC take a similar approach to rules that try and mitigate against the games bugs aswell as making the game more skill rather than luck and a chainsaw?

Could always do a community vote on it.

Definitely a point to look into for the ladders and with the cfw coming up, although you'll always get one numpty that will forget and choose a lancer, causing major upset in game.

The flamethrower id say is taken out because its really powerful and the stopping power on it makes it really hard to get away from. Also you dont even need to aim with the thing just spray it.

Staff are currently discussing the GoW2 rules, and we will put them to public, but as for a vote, we don't feel a vote will be sufficient to cover all arguments for the game.

We will be using a mixed up version of GameBattles rules, but still very similar to their settings. If lancer gets an update, then we may use that as the default weapon, but its looking more favored and balanced to use the hamerburst, and place lancers on the map.

I have to agree with Jason. Discussing it thoroughly in the staff forums is better than simply sticking a poll up.

Funny how quite a few of the staff havent even played GOW2

Thought the rules were for the "Community ladders"
