Re: How Do I Get More People On My Server?

What's "redlining"?

Someones piloting the apache and your the gunner but the pilot doesnt want you gunning, so he moves to the out of bounds but just far enough for the pilot to be safe and the gunner to get the countdown, i think

When you run a gunner into the redline in a chopper to kill him.

Sorry, that doesn't make any sense to me :p

redlining is just gay, its for point whores...bf2 is a team game, if you can't play as a team then don't play.....

As for your server IO(infantry only) is still popular, so maybe have it IO all the time or vary it through the week stating which days is IO....No Uncap Base rape/attack/artillerying is about the only rule i'd go for....you have gay rules on some servers like on karkand 64 don't take the factory flag.....or no commanders etc...

Good luck with the server

It helps if youve got an idiot that either can't gun or one of those "I'm pissed i didn't get the chopper so I'm gunna sit here and not shoot until we get shotdown so I can tk you waiting in line for the chopper to respawn"

[quote=davelisowski]Map rotation
Dragon Valley
Mashtuur
Zatar
Sharqi
Wake
Fusche/OCS

I always like Songhua myself. FF on would be a nice touch. You can always reduce the size of the map if you think people don't want to play certain ones (i.e. 32 sized Zatar for 50-64 people will make it end sooner).[/quote]

That is the mother of bad ideas if this guy is trying to get traffic into his server. Zatar Wetlands, Fushe Pass and Operation Clean Sweep are hugely un popular maps particularly for the large proportion of the BF2 fan base that are infantry players.

My recommendation if your trying to get traffic try city maps so Karkand (I know but it'll get traffic, Sharqi and Mashtuur.

Wake? IMHO Any new server who goes 24/7 wake is taking a big chance. So many of them out there. Karkand is hard too. I like my DV

Didn't prove true for us. We had a very popular almost always full BF2 server prior to 1.3. That abomination of a patch crashed the server so much it sat empty for a long time until the 1.4. We then tried several rotations and we got some success with Wake/Karkand/Sharqi but not until we went to 24/7 Wake was it consistently full of players again. It does get boring but we're afraid to change the rotation up.

So another generic city map server? Why would someone stop playing at his or her usual city map server to play on this guy's city map server? You need to offer something different, and as I said, you can make the map size smaller for Zatar or Fushe so the round goes quicker.
Notice I did say to put Sharqi and Mashtuur in the rotation.

Or he could just run Karkand or Wake 24/7 and be lame.

64 ppl on a 16player map riight maybe if its unranked but if its a ranked server that counts as high points kthnxbye.
