Rules and FAQ

The BFBC2 specific game rules will uploaded and available from Wednesday evening onwards.

We are currently working on adding new entries to the BFBC2 FAQ, the library will be populated with as much useful information and support as possible.


’Ready up’ Period

There is no 'ready up' mode available for BFBC2. The match will start once the captain of both teams has declared in game-chat that his/her team is ready. To avoid any confusion it is the responsibility of both teams to notify the opposition before the match who the captain is. By readying up, you agree to the match conditions on the server (server setup and players). There can be no cause for complaint until the next ready up stage, as you have agreed to carry on. Once both team captain have declare "ready" in public chat the hosting team captain will announce "LOR" (live on restart) has admin chat (send on the admin tool) and restart the map - the match begins.


[u]Server Tools[/u]

Admin tools to help with your server management in-game are now available on the Downloads page.


Entering the result

After the battle has taken place, one of the clans should log into the E-Dom website and enter the result in the Battle Planner, the other clan will accept it by the same method. If the result is not confirmed by either team at the end of the day after the match, it will be confirmed automatically by the system.

How to enter the final result:
Clan A vs Clan B

Conquest
Clan A wins the game, the final score is 1-0 for Clan A.

Rush
Clan A wins the first round (on attack )1-0 for Clan A.
Clan B wins the second round (on attack) final score 1-1.
Its a draw.

Squad rush
Clan A wins the first round (on attack) 1-0 for clan A.
Clan A wins the second round (on defence) final score 2-0.

Remember this is still the beta version so a lot of real testing has to be done and matches might run not so smoothly in the beginning. Give everyone the time to get used to it. Additionally lots of website changes have been made, so if you see an error, please report it and we will work to resolve as quickly as possible.


Squad Deathmatch

Currently we are unavailable to support the Squad Deathmatch gametype in the Open Ladder. However, we will be hosting regular Squad Deathmatch cups in the near future.


BFBC2 X-Fire Group

We have created an official Euro Domination X-Fire group for the clans and players of the BFBC2 community. The X-Fire group will used primarily as a source to contact the Euro Domination BFBC2 staff and the admins of other BFBC2 teams.

The X-Fire group is open to all of the Euro Domination public. We strongly recommend that anybody involved in BFBC2 at Euro Domination should get involved.

You can join the Euro Domination BFBC2 X-Fire group here!


Good luck everyone and most important of all, have fun !

Regards,
The [E-Dom] Admin Team

for official edom war we will but like FR.Jack "they will do from here but EA aren't letting new servers up "

May i just add that its a ranked server you need , if you are coming to E-DOM mate i can help you sort it out, to start with things you need
Your own server
A clan website
Thats about it ,when the E-Dom servers get released and are usable they will be for clans whos servers is having difficulty or if a clan is complaining about there pings on the opponents server that type of thing.
Gleedo if you need someone to help you get set up on E-Dom my xfire is titfat

Im already on edom and have a number of members on our roster.

We just haven't scrimmed yet. Might join a cod4 S&D open ladder, but more probably the BC2 ladder.

I take it you can choose to just play conquest or do you have to play all 3 gametypes?
