Frequently Asked Questions

Post by undrt0w »

Dear newcomers, please find below answers to some frequently asked questions that we hope will facilitate your first moments in GC. If you don't find an answer to your question here, feel free to make a new thread or contact someone from the Welcoming Committee using TS or a PM: Hitman47, FlaminWalrus, DiscoSoup, Sarantini and me.


F.A.Q.


Is GC a clan?
What we are is a 10 year old community of like-minded gamers that choose to play together in an organized manner but outside of the formality of for-profit sites or ego-centric sites ruled by one guy.

What Platform is Global Conflict for?
It is played on PC only.

Can we sign up as a group?
Yes. When signing up in ABC you can add who you want to play with. Depending on the campaign there might be limitation on how many people you can sign up with or separate group draft.

What SBT means
SBT = Standard Battle Time. Its not a time zone nor is it related to an actual timezone. Of course SBT is different for every time-zone but it is also a constant that you can work off of. For a detailed explanation, check this link.

What are the server settings on the campaign?
All unlocks enabled
Friendly Fire - On
Regenerate Health - Off
Kill Cam - Off
Mini Map - On
HUD - On
Cross Hair - On
3d Spotting - Off
Mini Map Spotting - On
Name Tag - On
3P Cam - On
Vehicle Spawn Allowed - On
Vehicle Spawn Delay - 100%
Soldier Health - 80%
Player Respawn Timer - 100%
Player Man Down Time - 150%
Bullet Damage - 100%
Squad Leader Only Spawn - On
Game Length (number of tickets) - 175%

Do I need any of the DLCs?
Currently we use Back to Karkand, Armored Kill, Aftermath and End Game DLC’s. You are not required to have the DLC and can sit out for the duration of the game played.

Are Campaigns held every week, or just on select Saturday?
Battles are played every Saturday (main battle) and every Tuesday (Black ops). The army that reaches 70% of territory control wins the campaign which on average lasts for about 3-4 months.

Is it just one big round with thousands of tickets or just normal rounds?
Several rounds, 200% ticket count.

So, a player is able to jump in and out of game during the 6 hours?
Yes. You can come and go as you wish. Depending on the amount of people waiting you might be required to sit out a round. To join the server you will have to join TS first and ask whether there is a slot open for you.

Do I have to re-apply for every weekend i want to play?
No. Just use ABC to show availability for the upcoming matches to facilitate planing for the HQs.

Anything else I need to be able to play?
You will have to install Teamspeak and use a microphone and use the Push-to-talk function. Even if the microphone is not mandatory, we strongly encourage the use of it, since it facilitates a better communication with your fellow teammates.

I thought that ticket count varied on the maps. I'm sure that ticket count was always less than 200%, but to what extent below 200% varies.

If I remember correctly from back when I had PROCON access... I think it was 150%

Well, then. Thank you Flaming too!!
