It was a server rule. One i don’t like myself, but non the less there server there rules.
Official/ranked Server? Report them asap
I played a map like that too. So ridiculous.
Prolly not an official server then.. 
Exactly this. If you’re banned from a server simply for playing the game, report the server to EA DICE, it can get the server banned.
yeaaaah they’re nice guys, but if you run, you get kicked.
Terms of service for hosting a server states that you can not put rules in place that inhibit normal gameplay in any way. That means you can’t ban people for using guns that you “banned”
Hmm… Good find in the TOS. So what’s available to us as the players to stop this banning?
There isn’t a way for the players to stop the banning besides PM to others on the server, so basically a boycot. Also report the server to DICE as they should be able to track that ban and potentially shut down the server itself.
Sucks there’s no better way to deal with it. But there’s plenty more servers out there.
Yeah. I have been kicked/banned for some of the dumbest reasons ever. Standing on a certain rock (they called it boosting), being tired in a jet (I crashed too much), and others. Pretty dumb reasons.
best one I found was just no running if not being shot at. There was a sniper on the other team with loads of kills and just everyone disconnecting.
Can people make they’re own severs on BF4 yet or do we need to wait for the update to happen first?
To everyone wondering, yes it was a ranked/official server.
Does doing that keep u off radar or something?
Not when it’s a ranked server. People would be farming points and unlocks if server admins could make their own rules.
Yup good point…
It sounds like you joined a crouch only server.
I’ve been on that same server. It’s a thing they do, idk why. Kinda fun to play but odd and they are serious about the crouching.
