Would anyone be interested in doing some "Events" from time to time?

    So event night didn't really work. Here's why:

    Teams can't fill beyond half the server's capacity. This makes The Zombie mode impossible unless the server has 25 or less in it.

    Procon doesn't give me enough battlefield awareness to admin something like Advance and Secure or King of the Hill. I don't have a map, can't see where players are, and can't see which flags are going up or down.

    Its unfortunate, but unless the admin tools become a bit better, I think the best we'll be able to do is some special games with Insane Limits (pistols only) or something like that. Was worth a try though!

    Yeah, as great as Procon is, it's really the DICE server code that limits what our capabilities are. I was really bummed to see that they didn't include player zoning coordinates so we could have plugins that automatically kill baserapers. Maybe in a future patch. But I'm honestly not getting my hopes up.

    Pistols only could definitely be fun. I've always wanted to try Infantry Only on Operation Firestorm. I think that would be very interesting. Lots of running :D

    I think you had a great idea the other issues you will have are people that come onto a public server to play and then get told they cannot play the way they want, unless you have this on a private server for clan members and friends only. The admin tools will help but only if those playing would want to play the way you make then in special rules nights. I ran a knife and pistol only server in BFBC2 and it was hard in the beginning because we tried to do it on certain nights, the players that were regulars in the week did not like the rule changes that we had on knife/pistol only nights.

    Just a consideration.
