Is there a list around of what's considered bannable behaviour on Timeless servers please? An unofficial list is ok, to give us rookies a headstart in what not to do

I see 'AA spamming' talked about as a bad thing - is this manning the anti-aircraft weapons on the Titan? I like triple-A work and when I hear the Titan in trouble I- wait a minute... if the shields are up does that mean that anti-aircraft weapons can't damage enemy aircraft? I feel a doh! coming on lol

Another one I see talked about negatively is 'killing people on the beach' (Gibraltar map mentioned). Can't figure that one out at all...

It is a minefield out there if you're new to BF2142 and don't know/don't appreciate the subtleties.

Question 2 :) I see on youtube what looks like real hardcore moronic hacking 2142. Why do they bother don't they have homes to go to. Or lives. From the people who brought us viruses no doubt. Someone should spend a little time developing a fake cheat that'll mess up the perpetrator's machine deep down dirty...

Please tell me that PunkBuster can handle crap like that?

1. AA spamming is essentially just shooting at the enemy titan constantly, it causes a lot of lag, especially if you aim at the sheids or hanger sheilds.

'Killing people on the beach' is basically if you're on the EU team you shouldn't go onto the beach to kill PAC players, the beach area is basically one massive Spawnpoint and so firing at people on the beach or killing people generallly in that vacinity is both Spawnkilling and Baseraping. The best thing is just to stay behind the fences around the harbour area and only occasionally go out if necessary and if an enemy is shooting at you.


2. Punkbuster sorts out the majority of hacks, the admins sort out the rest
