Recently, while I was digging into Counter-Strike Online – aka CSOL – I noticed a strange thing.
CSOL has the commonality of online games of that era, such as playing games in rooms. Players who take the initiative to build rooms become homeowners and have a part of the power to set the rules of the game. In theory, they can formulate “village rules” to ban a group of weapons that are too powerful, thereby preventing local tyrant players from destroying the balance of the game.
But in many bio-mode rooms, homeowners do the exact opposite. They deliberately limit the power of the zombie camp to choose zombies and skills, and players who are unfortunately infected with mutation only have the default initial zombies available.
At the same time, the weapons of the human camp are completely unrestricted. In front of various artifacts with the abilities of flashing, decelerating, floating, immobilizing, knocking back, silence, increasing damage, group damage, perspective, self-aiming, etc., the initial zombies can’t get close to the human body at all.
My friend told me that this must be the work of the rich homeowners, and the zombies are just living targets for their weapons to be tested. If you become a zombie, don’t think about attacking humans anymore. Anyway, there is no game experience. It is better to find a place to hang up and brush your phone.
Poor zombies struggling to survive
Generally speaking, once the game delegates the right to make rules to the players, certain “village rules” will be created among the players.
Some of the village rules serve the special entertainment needs of a few people, such as banning special zombies in CSOL, or building a “knife battle” room that only uses melee weapons. The other part of the village rules is based on the balanced consensus reached by most people on the shortcomings of the original rules. For example, in the casual mode of CSGO (note that it is not CSOL), the defender who buys “Lianyu” (semi-automatic sniper rifle) has a huge advantage. , many players will boycott, and even vote to kick out those players who buy even snipers.
For those FPS games that have not been updated for a long time, it is difficult to have any official balance corrections, and the player circle is shrinking day by day.
Here again take the “Battlefield 1” that I often play as an example. At present, this game highly relies on the community server and the “Ban Ban” plug-in organized by community players to check the record and identify plug-ins. The official server is still there, but the number is small and plug-ins are rampant.
If there are new players who want to try this game, before entering the server, I will definitely persuade him to take a look at the outrageous titles of each server. The title will usually indicate the server’s “village rules”, at least part of it.” Village Rules”.

The server will divide the player circle, some servers have no restrictions, and the other part is dedicated to newcomers-servers prepared for newcomers will always limit the ability level of all players in the server from two aspects.
On the one hand is the level (Level, Lv). The full level of “Battlefield 1” is 150. The 150-level boss generally has hundreds or even thousands of hours of game experience. Sometimes the difference in the number of 150-level bosses in the two teams can determine the outcome of a game. Therefore, these big guys will be isolated from some servers, unless they have a very good relationship with the server management, and the management will consider opening a whitelist for them not to be kicked out of the game.
On the other hand, it is to look at various data of the player, such as the number of kills in a game (Kill), the kill-to-death ratio (KD) and the number of kills per minute (KPM), as long as a certain data is higher than a certain value, Immediately kick the player.
Monitoring the data of players in the server will help administrators identify those big guys who log in to the trumpet account to do bad things to Mengxin, as well as suspected plug-in players who behave abnormally. However, this standard line of kicking people is difficult to grasp. If you are a little careless, you will rarely get a good record, and you will be kicked out of the server.
Pro generally refers to professional players
Because the server management plugin is in disrepair, or an unintentional mistake committed by a stupid administrator, the kicking standard is sometimes set to be extremely harsh. However, as long as the administrator apologizes in time, misunderstandings and disputes can be stifled in the cradle most of the time.
“Kill limit: 3 kills”
The server title will also indicate certain prohibited weapons, props or vehicles. Mortars are disabled on many servers, because the use of mortars requires crouching behind the team, which will reduce the number of players actively charging to occupy the stronghold on the front line, which indirectly leads to losing the game. “Air-explosive” mortars, which do more damage to people, are less popular than “high-explosive” mortars designed to deal with tanks, and they may be kicked just by carrying them around.
BanPaijpao is the ban on mortars
Among the armored vehicles for players to drive, the one that is often banned is the mortar armored vehicle. In “Battlefield 1”, each seat of the tank is a resurrection point for one’s own players. Driving the tank to the front line will reduce the difficulty of occupying points. The mortar armored vehicle has no extra seats, and there is no thick armor like a tank. It only dares to hide in the rear and shoot, not only disgusting its opponents, but also disgusting teammates.

As mentioned earlier, the “village rules” contained in the server title are not complete. In the “Battlefield 1” post bar, every day players complain that they are kicked out of the game by administrators or server plugins for inexplicable reasons, and then some radical players point out that they oppose private servers and ban “linked Ban”.
There are many cases of some administrators abusing their authority and using any excuse to kick people, and even some reasons are too noble, sacred, and pure, making it impossible for people to refute, and even suspect the self-directed and self-acted elements.

Legally conscious administrator
After the official stop of the update, the community server system and a series of “village rules” derived from it have maintained a relatively stable game environment for “Battlefield 1” and ensured that players of different levels have a similar gaming experience as much as possible. Without these “village rules”, “Battlefield 1” would not have the relatively stable popularity it is today, and countless posts complaining about being kicked.
Although these “village rules” may also aggravate the division of the player circle, game level and context, I am more worried about myself than the general environment. What should I do if one day I hit the level 150 of “People hate dogs” on the Mengxin server? I’m not technically and mentally prepared to survive in a server where bosses are rampant.
