EA Rules of
Engagement Battlefield Series - Online Conduct
Players are expected to abide by the EA Online Terms
and Conditions (available at
http://www.ea.com/global/legal/tos.jsp)
while playing on ranked Battlefield servers. You agreed to the EA
Online Terms and Conditions when you established your EA Account.
The purpose of these Rules of Conduct is to illustrate how the EA
Online Terms and Conditions apply when you play on ranked
Battlefield servers. Multiple or critical violations of the Terms
and Conditions may result in the loss of online play or stat/award
reset. Violation may also result in the termination of your EA
Account and the loss of anything associated with it (such as points,
tokens or in-game items).
The following are examples of conduct that is not permitted by
the EA Online Terms and Conditions:
You are not permitted to use offensive soldier names or clan tags.
Also, you may not actively encourage other players to violate the EA
Online Terms and Conditions while in-game.
You may not organize any Clans or groups that are based on, or
espouse, any racist, sexist, anti-religious, anti-ethnic, anti-gay,
or other hate-mongering philosophy.
You may not attempt to interfere with, hack into, or decipher any
data streams or transmissions to or from EA or IGN services, or use
any application or software while using the Battlefield services
which are not approved by EA or IGN.
You may not exploit any bug, or abuse any game system (such as the
scoring or award systems) in an EA product or service. You may not
intentionally use or share any bug found within any Battlefield
games, real or fictitious, regardless of whether or not it grants an
unfair advantage. You will not directly or indirectly communicate
the existence of any such bug to any other user of EAs games or
services.
Examples of abuse include, but are not limited to:
Playing on restricted kit servers (knife, shock and pistol only)
Taking turns killing, reviving, receiving ammo etc.
Abusing world geometry to your advantage with out risk.
Exploiting vehicle damage to repair indefinitely.
Creating a play environment which by definition or action creates
an inflated scoring scenario.
Ranked Server Administrators:
If you are an administrator of a ranked Battlefield server (referred
to below as a Server Administrator), you must also comply with the
EA Online Terms and Conditions.
Server Administrators will violate the EA Online Terms and
Conditions if they enforce server rules on ranked servers that
prohibit or severely limit players from using any roles, kits,
weapons, vehicles or other features of the game while playing on
their server. Examples of such rules that would violate the EA
Online Terms and Conditions are:
Preventing players from being Commander or Squad Leaders.
Preventing players from using certain vehicles such as jets,
helicopters or tanks.
Running knife / pistol only servers.
Preventing players from using all commander assets (artillery,
vehicle drop, UAV or scans). If using Infantry only server-side
option, this should be clearly stated in the game load screen.
Preventing players from using certain weapons or items (such as
flash bangs or C4) or enforcing a pistol only or knife only
server rule.
Server Administrators may implement and enforce rules that result in
minor changes to game play behavior or styles as long as these are
clearly stated before a player starts playing on a server. These
rules typically introduce minor or limited restrictions on how a
certain aspect of the game can be used, but do not create or promote
an environment that would allow abuse of the scoring/award system.
Examples of such rules that are acceptable are:
Limiting movement of combat assets, such as Titans, Ships,
Aircraft and Vehicles during game play. Disallowing all aircraft
for example is not acceptable.
Disallowing repeated main base camping/attacking of un-captureable
bases. However, in such cases, attacking the base with reasonable
intent to take out assets (artillery, command outpost or radar) are
acceptable.
Limiting the use of artillery, or any other single commander asset
to a particular region of the map.
Server Administrators will also violate the EA Online Terms and
Conditions if they (i) use offensive server names, server art or
clan tags; or (ii) encourage other players to violate the EA Online
Terms and Conditions while in game.
Exploit/Abuse Reports
To report players who are cheating or intentionally violating the
Terms and Conditions, including scoring abuse, exploits or map
errors, use the following link:

You can also report unapproved software or applications which
provide an unfair advantage or manipulate the game in a way it was
not meant, to the Punkbuster staff at: research@evenbalance.com
In all cases, please provide as much information as possible when
making reports. EAs support staff will be the final decision makers
regarding investigations. Intentional submissions of misinformation
or false abuse reports can be considered a violation of the EA Terms
and Conditions.
Failure to comply with the RoE will
result in you being kicked or banned from the Server by Punkbuster.
If you are a KoF member and are caught contravening Punkbuster
guidelines regarding glitching, hacking and aimbotting you will be
removed from the Clan and your profile deleted.
