You have already been given several "last chances" but this truly is it. I'll have your ban removed but any behaviour repeats and that's it you're permanently banned. Previously you were told after lying and claiming to have been muted for three times the length that you had actually been, then insulting staff when we called you out on it, that you would not be allowed to appeal until October. Today you pm'd me saying it's time for your mute to be removed and acted as if you had no idea why I did not want to discuss it. As if you had selective amnesia and had completely forgotten the very clear instructions I had already told you previously that the earliest date you could appeal was the 6th October. You were muted for a reason. You are one of the worst behaving players we have ever had on this server and your attempts to get around punishments by calling unfair treatment, pretending you don't understand why you're having action taken against you and trying to speak to multiple staff members who do not have the up to date knowledge to try and prey on ignorance is just plain abhorrent. The ban today was me having simply reaching the end of my patience with you. I will remove it as technically the behaviour shown today, while not great, would on its own not warrant the ban. However, there is no chance after this. Any attempt to repeat this behaviour and engineer your way out of it prior to the 6th October 2022 will mean a permanent ban and us wiping our hands of you. And remember that is merely the minimum length of time until we will accept an appeal. It does not mean we will remove the mute then. Only that we will consider doing so on the merits of your behaviour prior to that date. Jack

Hi all, For a long time now I have played on the HC cod4 server and the one underlying thing that has always irked me is the design of the spawn protection. While most of the time your firefights are with people who haven't just spawned in and therefore this isn't a problem with every kill/death, it is prominent enough to cause a particularly bs death at least a couple times per match at a minimum. Over time there have been thousands of these but this one just happened this afternoon and I thought it was the best one I had captured on recording yet and serves to illustrate the issue. In this example the player spawns and has the freedom to begin movement and see his surroundings. Upon which he spots me, moves, aims and kills me. On my screen I am running to the area behind the enemy lines when all of a sudden I hit an invisible wall. I turn around to see what it was and i'm faced with a guy preaimed at me and i'm dead before I could react. This experience made me think that I had encountered a glitch or perhaps a lag spike rather than a spawn as well so I was doubly unprepared. All this because the spawn protection allows for full viewing of your surroundings, complete invisibility and invulnerability and the ability to move a short distance and begin to aim all without losing these advantages. In a previous instance I remember I had someone spawn in front of me while I was reloading, walk through me then become visible and knife me in the back. A completely unfair death as there was not a single thing I could do to have reacted or prevented it.

The good news is that the update to the server today seems to have mostly fixed the issue

Has there been any issues with or changes to the host? The past 3-4 days everyone on the HC server has been experiening microlag/stutter constantly. Its worse for some than others but everyone is experiencing it. The game is approaching borderline unplayable status for some including myself occasionally as every firefight becomes a slideshow.
