Bad Company 2 online play on SGS becoming unbearable.

Over the past week or so I've really started to find it unpleasant to play this game. The amount of hacking accusations flying around is becoming totally ridiculous. And the standard of language used is utterly disgusting. People not merely swearing, but using derogatory racial slurs and female reproductive organs. It truly shows the character of the some people and it's not pretty.

The only solution to this is admins. Where on earth are the SGS admins??? I remember on BF2 and BF2142 that for one simple swear word okes got a one week ban for their first offence. And spawn camping was a massive no no. Does SGS simply no longer care or is it a case of nobody wanting to actually be an admin?

Please SGS, clean up your servers, as they are rapidly falling into disrepute.

Yeah I agree. The SGS servers are seriously falling behind and the amount of swearing and foul language on those servers is just insane. I know they'll probably come out with some lame-ass "we're busy cry us a river" excuse, but it still doesn't change the fact that gaming on their servers has become a major pain. Thank goodness there are a lot of other servers out there lately and SGS can go jump in a lake

I agree, the language and accusations of hacking are becoming unbearable.

It is maybe time to switch over to WAGE?

I have screen shots of two players using racist words.

Myself and a mate where playing a game on SGS on Saterday evening, but due to Spawn camping & some fouler than foul language we decided to move to a WAGE server. Started off pretty well but then the WAGE servers just crashed, TWICE :|

So also not a very viable alternative..

Wish the iGame servers where more populated.

The SGS servers have no admins so this kind of thing will, unfortunately, continue.

I haven't really seen the Hacking accusations issue, but yeah there are so many little kiddies playing that feel the need to swear and act like total retards, cyberdog is one of many of these retards.

I always figured they would get banned instantly for this, obviously I was wrong. Poor show by SGS.

Same problem with Cod4 SGS servers...I don't have a problem with Spawn camping though. That's just the game engine really(I am referring to Cod4 - not too sure about BC2)

Spawn camping will always be a contentious issue. There are certain parts on the map where it can be "understood' for lack of a better word, but when you camp in a players "home base", that is plain kak, especially in Conquest. In Rush mode as an attacker it can be argued to a degree you are protecting the bombs from being defused, but as a defender to camp the attackers spawn is lame.

But yes, the language issue is really disgusting and merely illustrates why kiddies shouldn't be allowed to play games that have age limits or restrictions. SGS apparently said they don't have enough admins to cover all the games they host. Fair enough, then don't host every game under the sun if you can't provide the required services that are supposed to be there. But they do so, to be able to claim to have the largest following in SA. I personally think that EA should be informed of this and the fact that PB does not seem to work on the SGS BC2 servers. EA would not be pleased as that is part of the requirements to be able to host their games.

We just played a quick game on the IGame server and we where like 10 and the server lagged so much I could not get trough a door on my 3de try.

As for sgs hosting way too many servers of bc2 its so true, yeah I know we all wanted more servers but here in SA it means 1 or 2 more since we don't have that a huge gaming community or we just get split up between igame, wage, sgs, vodacom, mweb and so forth.

Agree for some reason I have not seen 1 guy get banned from sgs, I mean wtf just the other week there was 6 guys banned on wage because of aimbots. now if there are 6 guys on wage that's almost never full how can sgs not ban even 1 when its full most of the times?

I am not sure if its the "kids" that is is using such bad language on the servers.

I've contacted SGS about this, and will write up an article on the matter when they've responded. In the meantime, if anyone has any screenshots or other hard evidence of unacceptable behaviour on the servers, please post it here or PM me.

I'd also like to know if any of you have previously lodged complaints with SGS, and what the response was.

Nice one. SGS just seems scum play there. And the people who are just trying to have a good time tend to get accused of being a noob or a stupid fucker. Or they dictate to you what guns you are allowed to use.

Glad I never got into this one, I think getting flamed constantly in one game is enough :)

Here is my screenshot.

Good luck with this. I hope something is done before the release of Black OPs.

Although I have seen public admins on SGS from time to time. When they are on, they do get the Job done. Other than that...I don't know any admins directly from SGS.

I e-mailed SGS admins over the weekend and just now got this e-mail from them:

The email was over the two cyberdog dudes in the other post. I will let you guys know what they say...

I wrote this in the other thread, but it applies to this one as well:

So apparently there was some kind of fallout, or something, with the admins of the SGS servers and there is only one swamped admin on those servers at the moment. iGame and WAGE servers are still closely monitored though, so I suggest only playing on those servers.

---

Basically, there is NO moderation at all on any of the SGS servers atm and anything goes until they can find some new admins.

I don't want to delve into it too much, but they "layed off" ALL the BF2 admins last year before christmas and never replaced them.
I have also heard there is no intention to replace them.

Have a dig around the sh*tstorm on the SGS forums and you'll see.

so even more reason to stay the hell away...

Well, can't they use volunteers?

Yeah, why can't they.

Looks like their mods didn't prove to be anymore stable than anyone else.

I'm sure there are lots of people who would volunteer for this job - but it would make it harder to find someone who can handle the authority. The LAST thing you want is some big-headed "admin" running around banning people for no good reason simply because he/she can.

Yeah - I think this is the end of SGS.

At some point it makes sense to take that risk. Even if you've got a 50/50 chance of getting a really bad admin, you can always fire him & try again. Sooner or later you'll collect a few good ones & they can then keep new (potentially bad) admins in check.

Yeah...I agree with that sentiment. Well said.

I used to play quite alot on SGS COD4 servers but never saw any admin or any action taken against a piece of pie like the cyberdog kiddie. On the iGame COD4 servers (ja i know the LAG is very bad stm but it will be fixed) there is nearly always an admin in a game or available online.

I do not play that bollie BC2 game anymore cause i suck :) but i am sure there is iGame admins for the foulmouthed hooligans out there. If any of you guys need help on any iGame server, contact me on xfire (pietpompies3) and i will pass it on the Head Honcho's Xerowing and Spartan. They are there to make the game better for us.

Well two of our clan members, Stormchaser and Trompie are admins on iGame and they are on pretty much every evening. If you need to get gold of them, check out WAGES's Teamspeak 3 server under the Soul Slayers {SS} clan or Xfire them.

Just another fine example of those idiots:

Actually the idea of "everybody should get along" is one of the funniest and WRONG things about today's society. The answer is NO, we cannot all get along, and we shouldn't all get along because that would mean that everyone would need to accept each others individual views and opinions, however flawed and incorrect they may be, so we'll all end up getting polluted by lies because we should accept them to "get along". I for one will NEVER want to get along with everyone.

Sorry...it's been a long day. lol

It was intended with a hint of sarcasim.

Must have been really long day:)

I don't expect everybody to like each other, but you can respect another persons views.

Pardon me for repeating this, if thats the case, IMO the behaviour in question can single handedly ruin a game, regardless of how good graphics, gameplay, sound etc is.

So I'm glad to see that on another forum, EA themselves have not let this go unpunished, thats a bloody 10/10 from me. I'm about to get the game right now from BT Games as a matter of fact.

@ Densweep, i was actually playing in that match when u took that screenie. Pity u didnt catch the whole convo, there was a lot more said than that :-/
but glad u sent it to EA :D
