This thread is for those of you that have contributed, and are admins on our Battlefield Bad Company 2 server.

PLEASE NOTE: Both the game and admin tool are VERY buggy, so please be careful! See the current known bc2 issues here.

Admin Guidelines [subject to change]:
  1. NEVER share the admin password.
  2. Make sure your presence is known by wearing the "ATK" tag.
  3. Always warn before taking any action. Just kick wherever possible.
  4. If you think someone is cheating, please be SURE before making a ban. Ask others.
  5. Swearing is allowed in chat (the game is an 18, and is full of it).
  6. Offensive and racist comments are not tolerated - kick first, if they come back - ban.
  7. Do not spam the public, but do make sure they know where our site is.
  8. Don't screw around with admin for "fun", it's a tool to help make the server BETTER.
  9. You may kick someone so you can join the server. Kick the people that have just joined and have a low score.


To start administrating the server (written using BC2CC0.9.5):
  1. Download BC2CC here.
  2. Make sure the program is up-to-date.
  3. Click the bottom left icon "Add Server", entering the following details:
    Server Name: ATKCommunity.com Server
    IP: 85.236.102.5
    Command Port: 20277
    Password: ***YOU WILL BE SENT THIS IN A PM***
  4. Click "Add", then double click the server name to connect to it.



  5. Players: Here you can see the current players, and make messages appear in the MIDDLE of the screen using admin chat (YELL). Only advertise our site using this, ATKCommunity.com.
  6. To kick/ban a player, just right click their name.




  7. Server Options: Do NOT change anything here, I will do it in the server cfgs.




  8. Map Options: Please leave the server on RUSH because of the server name.
  9. The current map feature works, but the "next map" function is bugged still (loads a random map).




  10. Game Options: Please refrain from changing settings here. If you do, make sure the server is empty and they are reverted back when you leave.




  11. Reserved Players: Although we will use this eventually, at the moment it removes slots from the server to reserve them for you. This is a waste.




  12. Banlist: View current bans, and add specific ones.
