Insurgents Stealing Hat kits/Sniper kits/ALL KITS!

[Nehil]

I too, have never seen this happening. But if it's a major issue on some servers, perhaps adding +120/180 seconds of spawntime if you CHOOSE to teamswitch? That wouldn't be a huge issue if you wanted to teamswitch for legit reasons (having that extra time might equal a smoke, glass of water etc), but those who abused the new 5 min rule would perhaps not have enough time to get the kit.

Not necessary... Just hope admins police their servers and if you see it report it.

This will me so unfair to other ones who change teams to join their clans/mates.

Actually I did not see anything like this either bu it sounds possible. And also I don't think it is that much easy.

First of all in the crowded servers you'll have team balance problem. You may need to wait for a place. Then you have to join a squad and be lucky that HAT/sniper is available which is not so easy. Then you'll go back if still there is a place...bla bla...

so much work.. who does that should really be a desperate.

There has been the problem of people giving away HAT kits to the enemy team for a while now, it's just now they don't need any sort of cooperation from someone on the opposing team. I really don't see the need for HAT or AA kits on insurgency maps and it leads to all sorts of stupid situations.

Me and my squad set up and defended a firebase in the VCP on Al Basrah last night, the HAT kit dealt with big red as it approached. The AT weapons have their use even on Insurgency.

I'm pretty sure i have seen a DEV saying that its not possible without adding "new" faction, which will make the files bigger, but dont qoute on me.
im pretty sure adding only 2 minutes of waiting till you can spawn/pickup kit or so can fix it, since he allready gets extra time for suciding and dying+time to get to kit.

Doubt this is a big problem. But if it does happen, it's instant ban. Period. Cheating is bannable, wether by hacks or by exploiting something ingame like that. If someone does this stunt, they know how the game works and know how it also is supposed to work.

Teamwork is key to this game. Work against that and the player is gone.

Griefers ragers pedos, its always a tiny amount of people.

I think that the five minutes lasting kits should be balanced by a slower kit switch. It should take 10-20 seconds for you to switch kits. So you have to stand on top of the kit for 20 seconds untill you get it. Currently it feels a little spammy, as kits accumilate. Its too easy to find blufor weapons as an insurgent. Its too easy to find patches.

i think the easiset way to this is mkae the spawn time for switching team 5 minutes becasue people really shouldint be switching teams anway specilly in insurgency.

I only agree with people swithcing team if a freind is on the other team or at the very start of the match.
