Please use this as a guide if you need any extra clarification of the rule set. The only thing that has been changed is that we are now allowing smoke. The reason for this is because it adds extra depth into the game, opening up new strategies for teams to explore. This comes at a disadvantage because you need to replace your medic pack for it so teams will have to decide if it's worth using. This new rule is effective from any games starting from now (01:00 17/1/2012)

is there a reason behind only allowing an automatic sniper?

What have you got against EOD bots?

Is there a reason for using a Recon when you can't use any of the gadgets? May aswell ban the Recon cause it's pointless.

Mainly because it is stock weapons, and the automatic sniper is the stock weapon for recon. Snipers are never used in scrims due to its lack in usefulness to the team (specially without spawn beacons). It would be pointless to make a special exception for a class that is never used, it would only add further confusion.

i doubt i'll be playing any competitive bf3, i'm just curious about the reasoning behind that

so the circles in red are the ones u can use?

I'm colour blind. Please redo in appropriate colours.

smoke gren :\

Spot on why have recon at all if you are going to restict it that much. And what perks are allowed in vehicles ??

NIce, cheers for that Redding..cant be any plainer than that and a fair chunck of effort went into doing it

Good to see this went up before the ladder went live.

Is it just me or does this ladder feel very professional, and doesnt cater for the general casual community?
This is the open league, and not the invite league?

Probably because most of the admins are lazy. Except Redding cause he did this.

Normally its not needed which is why it was done late. Just done it for people that couldn't understand the existing rules so there is no misunderstanding.

Because the invite league has not started yet
