Ghosters and Loggers

Recommended Posts

Well, today I was robbed of a few more kills and then was killed by a ghoster. People who log when getting shot at, no matter if they are rejoining the server to ghost, or just hopping to another server, makes it really hard to mount a defense against these people. It's cheap, and it sucks as I pump a full mag of ammo into them before being robbed of the loot.

So, here is my solution: When you select "disconnect" or "abort", your character stays in game for 10 seconds. During this time, your character cannot take any damage, or move, or the timer will be reset. If you alt-f4 out, your body stays right where it is, same rules apply. This way, you are a sitting duck for being a coward. Also, you won't be able to server hop while your character in another server is disconnecting. I feel this is only fair, since disconnecting is basically an exploit right now. If you get shot up because you weren't careful, then learn from it. Deal with the consequences. That is all.
