1: Where do I find the Tactical Gamer servers?

Server 1 is located in the Virginia datacentre and will mostly be running 50 player conquest:




The Conquest server plays 2 rounds per map, switching teams at the end of each round for balance. Squads are emptied at the end of each round, so don't forget to form up again when the round starts or you'll get kicked by the auto-admin script. We alternate maps between infantry and combined arms and try to keep a good mix between assault and double assault maps.

Server 2 is currently running Titan maps.



2: What are the server rules?

Tactical Gamer Battlefield 2142 Server Rules.

3: How do I report a problem player?

We have a detailed thread on how to report infractions and how admins handle problem players.

4: Why was I kicked or banned?

There are a few innocuous reasons you may have been kicked / banned:

1. To make room for a Supporting Member. Supporting Members are entitled to reserved slots on all of our servers and we kick the longest playing Non-Supporting Member to make room for them.
2. You forgot to join a squad. Playing as a team is mandatory on TG servers. We don't allow lone wolves.
3. There is a bug when switching teams at the end of the round where you are still in the same squad as last round, but unable to leave it. Unfortunately, the game registers you as being squadless, so you can get picked up by the squadless kick. The only way to correct this is to disconnect from the server and rejoin. Sorry, we don't have any control over this.
4. Immediately upon loading into the server. This is also part of the SM Reserved Slot script. See below for how it works.
5. 4 people punished you for teamkills in a round. The ban only lasts one round and is automatic. Please jump on TeamSpeak to let us know. Also, punishing accidental teamkills can get the punishing player kicked, so please report any player who punishes accidental teamkills.

If the above don't apply and breaking one of our rules got you banned, do not start a thread in the forums. Send a PM to only one of our admins and tell them your in-game name you were using at the time. Preferably, you will have seen the name of the admin who banned you when you were kicked, so it is best to PM the admin who banned you. If you don't receive a response within 24 hours, please send me a PM and I will sort it out.

5: I am a Supporting Member, how do I claim my reserved slot?

Update your forum user profile with your Battlefield 2142 Player ID.

6: How do the Auto Admin scripts work?

Explanation of Auto Admin scripts functionality.

7: Can I wear the TG tag?

Yes, you can. Provided you have read all of the details linked in this FAQ and you understand the 2142 Rules. Make sure you are very clear about the rules before you wear the tags, because TG-tagged players are shown no mercy when it comes to rule breaches. If you are found breaking an obvious rule while wearing a TG tag, you can expect at least a 1 week ban to give you time to refresh your memory of the rules.

Also, you will want to read the following post on Wearing The TG Tags.

The tag looks like so: |TG| or |TG-Xth| for in-house squads. Note that we use pipes, not the letter "L" or the letter "I". When you enter a pipe into the clan tag section of your login screen, it will not appear in the text field, but it is in fact entered into the field. You can just type it into the field and accept that it will show in-game, or do the following:

1. Go to: My Documents\Battlefield 2142\Profiles
2. Open Notepad from Start Menu > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad and open: My Documents\Battlefield 2142\Profiles\Global.con from within Notepad using File > Open.
3. On the line GlobalSettings.setNamePrefix "", set it to GlobalSettings.setNamePrefix "|TG|" The pipe is entered using Shift+/ at the bottom-right of your keyboard.
4. Save the file and start BF2142.

8: How do I join a TG in-house squad?

We have a detailed thread explaining TG In-House Squads.
