Nova Login

TeamWarfare is seeking your feedback about the current development of removing Argus. Since it's no longer required, TeamWarfare is considering instituting the Nova Login as a requirement.

What are your thoughts? Be gentle...and remember this is a public forum...lol

yes to nova... if its requires more A&D teams will come to play.. if its possible just turn it on for A&D ladder.. since more teams are needed for that anyways.. just my .02.. lates

Since when was Argus no longer required and what will Nova do that Argus didnt?

what was the problem with argus....if you cant get it to work, that's pretty sad...

logging into nova....what if nova's down, like it is as i post this...?

I am all for it. And as far as a nova login required.. you will still be able to access the game servers.

I think it will definately help weed out some of the hacks.. if they refuse to use the CD then, what else are they using??

what was wrong with argus? I had a problem with it when it first came out but since it has been updated it works fine.

Pektar, the decision to drop Argus was made official last night. It had been in the works due to responses from the teams in the TeamWarfare BHD community. Having the Nova Login will help as far as giving the legitimate players a shot at good competition. Those who choose to get a hacked copy of BHD are probably more inclined to add trainers, hacks, etc.

aze, Argus caused some problems for some of the players in the community. It was THE number 1 request by every team that we surveyed when asking what could TeamWarfare do to make things better. Everyone we talked to said drop Argus. If Nova is down, then the teams should communicate in the Match Comms requesting a reschedule. But Nova is rarely down for very long...

Spieldog, they are more than likely using the No-Cd patch that is out there, and that is considered 3rd party software, and that definitely raises the hackles of Nova.

It's pretty straightforward, if you have a legitimate copy of the game, you're less likely to take a chance at a ban from Nova for using the cheats out there.

personaly i use a no-cd patch...so that i dont always have the cd in my driver...I do think argus was better than a nova-login...but etheir way i can play. But then some people who dont have a legit copy of the game and dont cheat, then they will be missing out. I think argus should be allowed if both squads want it.

I got a dilemma here.. I want the nova login to be enabled for our upcoming match against ES but they do not.. what is the ruling on this guys??

hmm

The only good reason I have heard yet for not useing argus is that it makes trainers go crazy...

Can't have the login. both teams have to agree to it.

Definately think Nova Login should be required. It doesn't hurt any legit players so there should be no problems.

Exactly what Togar said. In no way does it cause lag, or hurt players who are playing straight. There are no downsides.. period.

Besides, most of the squads we would want to match anyway we see in Blackhawk 3, where Nova login is required, so it shouldnt be a problem.
-Hitman451 - Because reloading takes to long.

I say we use the nova login will help keep the cheaters out. I hate playing a match with no nova login. Whoever doesnt agree then you must be a cheater. I dont understand why there is any reason anyone would have a problem with using login. If you dont have your own cd by now you got a problem. Go bye one they only like $35.

35 bux? where the fuck you buyin yours at? you can get the platinum(teamsabre and bhd) for less lol

check your local bargain bin

I think TeamWarfare should make it "official" and say that if a team does NOT want to agree to a Nova login then they don't play. Period.

For all you that use a no-CD patch: C'mon! How long does it ACTUALLY take to pull out the CD and put it in your ROM drive? 60 seconds? IF that!

For squads that don't agree to the Nova login for "whatever" reason: Too bad so sad.

I agree with what most are saying. It will help keep the cheaters to a minimum. Everyone who's legit should have an original CD. And signing in to NovaWorld is only like two extra steps...lmao....

Teamwarfare is also currently considering a few other options at hand here for a temporary solution to our anti-cheat problem.

1. Requiring players to have servers capable of handling 18 members and have a TeamWarfare staff member spectate on each side. We are still toying with this idea...but it seems like a fair and accurate deterrent to cheating.

2. Requiring one player from each team to FRAPS the match. In the case of any dispute, the videos from both teams must promptly be sent in to the admins for review. The player on each team with the fastest connection will be the one in charge of filming for that team. While this may cause slight lag, it again is a good deterrent for cheaters.

Your feedback is appreciated.

i fail to see how nova login will stop cheaters, lol. argus was more of a deterrent, at least it stopped some. nova login at best might help w/ making sure no mercs.

should be something that both teams agree upon.

well right off the back the fraps idea = no

just require novalogin.. if they dont have a legit copy have em go buy it for 15 bux... not hard.. dont hurt yourself lookin too hard for it either..
*sigh*

i think argus should stay because nova has enough promlems with cheats anyways... and they only really ban people in stat servers because people report nova about the promlem... so its not gonna make a big difference

Any new ladders that are created NW Login will be required.

I will set up the voting booth and possibly this week a vote will occur. More details to come.
