BFE TEST PAGE

Battle For Europe: Call of Duty 2 is the official campaign style tournament for the Call of Duty 2. Upon registration players are randomly assigned to either the Axis as a Grenadier or the Allies as a Private. The new recruits are then sorted into regiments and companies headed by Officers selected for their leadership qualities, teamwork efficiency, model leadership, and skill level. Battle for Europe: Call of Duty 2 utilizes a basic military command structure to ensure proper leadership and teamwork based game play. This results in a incredibly fun, highly entertaining reenactment of World War II in Europe fought twice a weekin 12-hour battles every Wednesday and Saturday with utilizing the Infinity Ward hit Call of Duty 2. After a two-month campaign, a winner is declared, armies are reset, and another campaign begins after 2-4 weeks.

= History = Battle for Europe: Call of Duty 2 was founded by MFOTS in 199*. It was originally designated to be a Medal of Honor: Allied Assault tournament. However, due to the release, popularity, and incredible gameplay offered by Infinity Ward's Call of Duty game, the decision was made to switch games. Upon release of the expansion pack to Call of Duty, Call of Duty: United Offensive was added, though Call of Duty remained the primary game for the tournament. Upon release of Call of Duty 2 during Campaign 8 Call of Duty 2, a test campaign was started and after the conclusion of Battle for Europe: Call of Duty Campaign 8, the tournament made the switch to Call of Duty 2 as the primary game of play.

= Rules = Revision 2.1

Basic rules exist in [Battle for Europe: Call of Duty 2] to maintain good conduct and to ensure the preservation of exceptional teamwork, game play, and above all a good fight.

Players must wear the correct tags on Teamspeak, the forums, and in-game. Tags must comply exactly and are found in the company barracks. Colours are not compulsory unless specified in army/divisional/regimental guidelines. Players not wearing the correct tags are not allowed to play.

Players must be on Teamspeak; players that are not on Teamspeak are not allowed to play, but this does not mean you need to have a microphone. As long as you can hear orders from your Commanding Officers that is acceptable.

Player must also play with the regiment that they are assigned to on the main page. All intra-army transfers must be approved by the Commander in Chief, and all Inter-army transfers must be approved of by the Tournament Chairman or a Tournament Administrator.

There are other basic rules that do not allow racial comments, patronizing another player, hacking and/or cheating, and stealing DJ's cookies.

Disciplinary System
The Executive Council members investigate problems, conduct cases and vote on the cases, but it is the responsibility of the Commanding Officers to deliver the punishments to the troops under their direct command.

Executive Council cases are conducted by investigating, opening cases, and reaching a verdict and punishment. Once the EC has reached a final verdict and punishment, it is then the responsibility for the EC chairman to deliver the sentence to the General of the division of the accused, the Colonel of the regiment of the accused, and/or the Junior Officer of the company of the accused. It is ultimately the responsibility of the Junior Officer to make sure that the accused receives notification of the punishment. All information passed along is to be considered confidential. No discussion of any bans will be permitted on any of the BFE-CoD forums.

It is the responsibility of the admins to ensure that the proper punishments are actually acted upon (ie: banning IP from the servers if necessary, Teamspeak ban, etc). However, the Officers are held partly responsible for making an effort to be vigilant in regards to banned players actually playing (aware or unaware of their ban). Any amnesty that may be granted will occur for 24 hours from the point of when an Officer sends a PM contacting the punished player.

Failure for an officer to notify the punished player may result in a warning or possible punishment of that officer (depending on if it is a re-occurring problem). = References = Allied Divisional Rosters
