AQ2 Football is a team-based game similar to football. The object of the game is to kick the ball into the opposing team's goal. AQ2 Football isn't 100% like real life football because at this moment it's too hard to add things like offsides or a foul but maybe that will change in the future. We're still in the early stage of this, so any suggestions are welcome.
First thing you have to do is get enough players. Always look for an uneven number. ie: lets say you want to play 4on4 but you need 1 player as a ball so 4+4+1 = 9 players. You could also use a second client on your computer as ball, but another player is preferable to speed up the gameplay and to avoid bias in refereeing decisions. Once you have enough players, join the servers! At the moment there are 2 stadiums
English Stadium - 193.238.83.227:27912
German Stadium - 82.165.25.76:27910
On the server you have to create 2 teams, a red and a blue team. You can join a team by changing your name to "[red] name" or "[blue] name" in the console. The ball will need to become the ball by changing name to "[ball] name" and any spectators must have the prefix [spec] before their name. Each team is allowed a goalkeeper who can noclip around his goal to make a save. You can become a goalkeeper by change your name to "[redGK]name" or "[blueGK]name". When the teams are set move to your team's goal line. The game starts when the ball drops down on the centermark.
I'm sure you lot have noticed that a lot of people just rush at the ball and hope it will be kicked in the right direction. This is fun for a while, but teamplay is something you need, so pass the ball. This will take some practice but it sure is nice feeling when it works! When someone scores, the ball goes back to the centermark where the opposite team can kick off. Everyone needs to go back to their own side of the field before the kick off can start.
For those who dont know how to kick the ball. It's same as in AQ2, walk towards the ball and jump against it and the ball will be kicked in the direction you are facing.
**UPDATE**
Goalkeepers are allowed to crab in the goal area for a short time just to remove the pressure a bit. The opposing teams must walk away.
Goalkeepers are not allowed to kick at the opposite goal from a goalkick. Pass the ball first.
