Monday we did a vote to skip the map. We had the last vote right at the end of the first round, but because that round just ended, the admins (not calling names) told us that it failed because the round had passed already. Now today the same thing happens again but suddenly its ok to skip. So what is it now ? Also can we get a topic on the forums Clearly Explaining all the rules for COD4 MW2, because to me and others it looks like they keep changing, especially the glitch roof spots. 1 admin says its ok then the other says its not...

Also 2 maps can not be skipped consecutively. Ie you can't skip the present map if the previous map was skipped. I know it can be a pain, but the rules are there so that a line can be written in the sand. If you want to have a valid vote, then join a team and vote, if more than 50 % of active players vote skip , then we will skip. So long as the previous map was not skipped. I hope that makes sense, and enjoy the game and our servers @LOCO Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Spectators are NOT allowed to vote and players are NOT allowed to call their own votes unless the admin starts the vote if the admin is not present then you can fend for yourself and go to spec to force the change but not if a admin is present Its very simple to vote Player asks for a Vote (Please do not abuse this just cause you want to play the next map) Votes only Allowed in First round (Do not ask for a Vote in the other rounds) Admin calls vote Players can now Vote YES once (Spectators NOT Allowed to Vote) (if player keeps putting Yes in chat it will not count cause your causing problems with the vote) Once Admin gets the count the Admin will let you know if the Vote Failed or Passed (If it Fails dont complain just enjoy the map or comeback when map is over) I am assuming that there wasn't an Admin/Mod present at the early part of the first round? I have had a situation when I arrived in the last few seconds of round 1 where I was immediately asked to call a vote, I announced that I would call the vote at the start of round 2 as there wouldn't have been a sensible amount of time in round 1 to vote ( Not the occasion you are asking about as i wasn't in game then ) If the vote is called in round 1 then I give reasonable time for everyone to vote and often repeat that a vote is active along with the vote count so far. If the map is a long map with many players then I would call the vote as not carried if the voting stops for a significant time and have announced several times that the vote is active. Else we would be waiting a long time for the end of round 1 which disrupts the game. If people feel strongly that they want to skip a map then they would vote at their first oppourtunity and not wait for an entire round to vote yes at the end of it. I hope this all makes sense.

Same with glitch spots. The XI definition of a glitch. For XI, the definition of glitching is: Any area of a map or activity that allows a player to kill other players with impunity, OR any area of a map that is very difficult to navigate to or obviously out of bounds. If you can kill a player, but cannot be killed yourself, you are in a glitch or glitching. If you are in a location that is very difficult to get to and was never intended to be accessed, you are glitching BlackRose, major-mark63 and Majbasil 3 Awards

If there's no invisible wall to prevent you from getting there and you don't have impunity it can't be a glitch. As for hard to reach, that's the point.

You need to also observe other rules like max fps 250 on our servers. So if the spot can only be accessed by a greater fps setting or jump setting etc than standard, that is also classed as a glitch for the reason that standard players running standard configuration can not access that location Awards
