Anybody play Belgrade?

[Skates]

^ Just curious...when it says "mostly Gib"....is that only cause Gib runs twice in the line up? I was afraid to join it cause I thought Gib would be running everyother map. But that line up looks pretty good.

Yes, Gib is every third map. I wonder if there are others that don't join because of the same thing. We did it that way because Gib is the most popular so if it dies off a little on some of the other maps, it fills back up on Gib and keeps running. I'll pull that "Mostly Gib" out of the title to avoid confusion. It still syas on the load page that Gib is every third map.

I prefer rotation servers, I hate 24/7 whatevermap servers.

Yes, I got tired of 24/7 as well. I prefer to have 2 rounds per map, one as EU and one as PAC. This way, it's always fair (FOB anyone?). Skates servers seem to be USA, so if you are in Europe check out BD-HQ and RUS City Maps.

[Skates]

Yep, ours are located in Los Angeles. You'd ping 200+ from Europe, not really playable. :cry:

I like Belgrade a lot, I've had a lot of fun moments there. Just too bad the map is so god damn grey and boring to look at. Other than that it's all fine :)

Has anyone actually played belgrade in a clan match? Because that's where it really shines, especially on the 16 player map as each cappable flag is an entirely different scenario and there are so many ways of playing it. Ruins is a mostly open low cover ground zone, statue a raised level open flag, and com tower being the forested over enclosed flag - and the layout allows for some genius tactics to come through.

We have played it a couple of times in friendly scrimms and had a blast. We have it coming up next week in a TWL 8v8 match. Strategy on it is so important as it is not linear like many of the other maps. There are many different routes that can be taken to each CP so the commander has to pay more attention to players working their way around to back cap.

I'll give you this Skates:

PS: Yes, I have played Belgrade in a clan match... A couple times :p

Belgrade can be alot of fun. It's embarrassing when a team gets pinned in their uncap all round. It shouldnt happen in belgrade.


On another note....Skates, do you have an idea of what happend last night to your city maps server. In the middle of a gibraltar round all of a sudden everyone went into drunk mode. It was if everyone had a 600 ping. It was impossible to run and turn without running into walls over and over again. ppl tried to stick it out for about 10 minutes but in the end everyone got punk busted for having a high ping. Eventhough everyone's ping was fine before the problem started

Yeah, something went wrong with the server. It was screwy for about 30-45 minutes. Everyone lagged out with about 800+ pings so the auto-admin kicked everyone for high ping. Killed me because the City Maps, Camp G, and Tampa servers were all full at the time. I have been back and forth with WolfServers about it. The thought is maybe some hardware, maybe memory is failing in the server. It happened midday on the 11th as well. They are changing us to a new box right now and we should be back up and running this afternoon with all new hardware. Good bunch of guys over there at Wolfservers.

Good to hear. I'm loving that city maps server. 48 man city map servers with FF on were my favorites. But slowly they started dissapearing because ppl want to be n00bs and play sloppy by just chucking grenades without looking out for friendlies.

Timless CQ runs Gib/Cerb/Belg/Tunis continuosly.

I love it too. Great knifing map, Great roadkill map. APC can own played right.

It has a lot going for it.
