We pride ourselves on running high quality servers for you all to play, the servers are run by the squad members who volunteer their computers and bandwidth for your enjoyment, and we hope you have a great time with us.
The rules in this section are to protect you in our servers, they are very fair, we do not tolerate anyone abusing our rules so please respect them.
1. Do not team kill, team killers will be banned from our servers, server admins are watching and have been instructed to ban on sight.
2. Do not deliberatly blow black widow unless most of the players are agreed to end the map.
3. Do not destroy armories, some maps require them to be blown which is fine, but on maps that dont have this you must not blow them.
4. Using Cheats, glitches, hacks, trainers or any other form of cheating on our servers will result in a ban from all our servers.
5. Do not shoot hostages or civillians, this can happen by accident, we all do it, but to deliberatly kill a hostage will be classed as team killing by our hosts and server admins.
6. Be curtious to your fellow players, playing games is supposed to be an enjoyable experience, and being nice to others is part of that experience.
7. Do not recruit on our servers or website, if you are that desperate for squad members do it somewhere else please thank you.
8. We reserve the right to punt/ban anyone we consider to be causing problems in our servers, blatently point hunting and not playing as a team and generally upsetting the rest of the players in our servers.
Hardmaps servers are mainly coop servers, we play as a team to complete the missions, map designers put way points in for a reason please follow them, it will make your life much easier playing as a team as well.
Our Land Warrior and Task Force Dagger servers have DEM running.
DEM is a host tool we have running on our Land Warrior and Task Force Dagger servers, it provides you with information in the text banners, and has automatic features that run 24/7 watching over the servers for bad language, anyone using bad language will be warned once then punted from the server. Players who team kill more than 4 times will be punted from the server as well, depends if friendly fire is on, otherwise they will be waisting ammo.
DEM will punt players who do not change names from the default, the default name is player names that start with "new" and have a long line of numbers after it.
DEM will also auto punt players who forget to or do not give themselves a name on purpose, no name players will have to get a name to play in our servers.
Thank you for taking the time to play on our land warrior and task force dagger servers we hope you have a good time, if you have any questions or comments please use our forum or contact us via e mail.

Please play as a team, you will find that you finish the map much faster, please remember meds are just as important as any other player types, a good tip is to have a variety of player abilities so you have a good resource to call on for any situation that might arise.
