This will be a part dedicated to explain stuff that takes alot of time to understand, how the community works, how to deal with stuff that are hard to deal with (such as someone cursing you etc..)

Keep in mind, ONLY! constructive and well put ideas and explainations will be accepted, useless rubbish will be deleted.

Not many players I find are aware of a very useful way of ignoring someone chatting in game.


Press ' / ' to bring up the Soldat Console in-game (looks exactly like the chat function)...

then type /mute playername to not see anything that person types. ('playername' being the name of the player, in correct casing)


Alternatively, press F1 to see the list of players in the game. When you press ' / ' to bring up the console, a number will be put to the left side of all the players in the game in the list. So if player number 14 is annoying you, just type in /mute 14

Hahaha. That's right. No spawning is allowed. Not even a little. Well, maybe a little, but then we're pulling the plug! *shakes fist menacingly*

Oh yeah, and you can't use the MP5. It's not really supposed to be on the weapons list. Just ignore it. I don't even see an MP5, what are you talking about?

if you decide to become a member of the forums, please follow the rules along with this other stuff you're supposed to know:

use the edit button. people don't like it when newbs triple post, because this is referred to as starhunting, which, in a nutshell, is basically spamming.

don't treat the forums like a chatroom. there is a thing called post count, and this goes up unless you're in certain sections of the forums. so while you're quadruple posting away with two word responses, chakra's sitting at his computer for twenty minutes making a two page long thread that will die in about 48 hours, ALL IN ONE POST. although i don't believe in the whole post count hype, some people work hard to get 1.000 posts, and you should respect that.

don't use a pokemon or yugioh avatar. just don't.

type in legible english. no "ogm i wil pwn yo moma" or "hey guys! my new map is called UbErMaPtHaTpWnSyOfAcE" and especially not "o3y3ygg jhfdjdfjk;js;gl;lsgg;nd ;j 23;5ut5;3o 34;".

Edit: You asked how to become a respectable player, and I responded. There are two rubbish posts above mine. Instead of deleting the rubbish, you criticized me. I do not like the way this subforum is managed so I choose to remove my input from it.

Have a good day.

Admin notes:
This is not the "respect my authorotteh" forum.
Post in the wrong places and you will be directed to the right ones.
Refusing to help because someone "dissed" your proposal because you ignored the rules, is a clear indication that you are not here to help.
ty for your attemp, and hf playing soldat in the future.


Looks like somebody enjoys abusing moderator privileges. Put notes in your own post.
