Host Rights!!

[AgentX_003]

The only thing is .. i dunno how people make the Non-Kickable names or what fault UBI made in the netcode of that but if that cant be corrected then its gunna be a pain in the ass to kick / ban people with that draggable system.. it would be abused as others have said / but as an alternative i think right click would better ; giving you the options to restart the server / kick / ban.. or ban / kick .. and a time specified.

There are man... lots of idiots who you just cant understand what they are doing in a game like splinter cell... I just dont want to have to wait for the hosts mate who has 56kb modem to download 10 megs or have a noob dl for 5 mins while every1 waits and then say "Crap i g2g cya guys thnx for download"

If you don't want to wait for a download, then you'd just host a map everyone has.

I mean, really pretty simple. Nobody is forcing you to send people maps.

I also think that revenge should NOT be on all the time, as you may have different equipment that you bring to one map, that is nearly useless on another.  Having revenge on all the time would mean that you have to change your equipment before you switch teams to start the next map, which just doesn't make sense.

What if we had options for a loadout based on map? So you could have a separate set of gear for every map that would automatically get chosen as default.

sounds nice, but the eq is not only affected by the map, there are other factors: teammate, enemy, current mood, strat etc...

The restart I talked about earlier wasn't about restarting the server, but restarting punkbuster!

How about revenge is on when people vote for it.  After every round there would be a quick lobby giving you the chance to edit your weapons before the game starts when everyone is ready.  You wouldn't be able to switch teams in this mini lobby but you could edit your equipment.

Clicking and dragging is a BAD idea.  You thought everyone who wouldn't go over to be annoying but think about them dragging you over everytime.  Again, not a good idea.  Maybe a voting system to get people to switch over, like a 3/4 vote.

Agreed.
Votes FTW.

If the game is 2vs2, which it will be for now, we can possibly implement a 3-votes-needed for kicking. Only the host can ban (and is unkickable of course). If we can make a dedicated servce executable, we can have it too for map changes or team-switches (whole spy team goes merc or vice versa) and player-changes (one player switches to the other side).

I say that the host can kick players and change game options.  That is all.  The way people get to switch sides is either play by the rules or get a 3/4 vote by other players to make them switch.

Given that the host could simply ban you if he wanted to keep playing spy, it's not really a big deal. If the host is a dick, then you've really got no recourse other than to just leave the server.

At least allowing the host to drag people will prevent a lot of the crap about telling people to move. People will still have to ready up anyway, so it won't be a big deal.
