if you had your own server

[imported_Field]

well personally if i had my own server i dont know the kinds of restrictions but it would be like this:

i'd have 48 player size

friendly fire on

rotate these maps:

IO 8v8 Verdun, Camp, Cerbere, Tunis, IO Belgrade, IO Berlin, Port Bavaria and finally Shingle. in this order.

i dont know if its possible to have 48 players on 8v8 verdun because ive simply never seen it but it would be a blood fest. tons of people would probly not like it because they would get cut down from wierd spots because they arent used to playing the map

the only rule i would have is to not have armor spawncamping uncaps. and id probly kick annoying people that did things like glitch inside walls and stuff like that.

what would you do?

Re: if you had your own server

Hackers/glitchers instant and permanant ban - if only it were possible.

Friendly fire on at all times.

Swearing like a Navvy allowed

Over 18's only allowed to use VOIP - nothing worse than some 10 year old squeaking down my broadband

Spawncamping, RDX hoppin, RDX jeeps, Voss whoring all fine - adapt and survive

No nonsense like kick for this that and the other - anything you can do that ain't a glitch is cool

Minsk Conquest
Suez Conquest
Tampa Assault lines
Tampa Titan (mix it up)
Shingle
Belgrade IO
Gibralter
Verdun Titan
Bavaria Assault Lines
Leipzig Assault Lines

Re: if you had your own server

64 player conquest Shuhia, Sidi, Tampa, Verdun. I guess I'd throw B@R in there, too, if we're mixing NS maps.

Re: if you had your own server

the rules we had when me and my buddies had our own server (and I might get it again, now that slots are so cheap)

No intentional Air Vehicle ramming.

Air bus pilots damn well better not bail out of a perfectly healthy transport in mid-air.

FF on at 25% (to avoid intentionally team-killing lamenuts, but still make RDX bunny hoppers who break the "No RDX Bunny Hopping" rule feel their own pain). No RDX bunny hopping BS. (Regular Bunny hopping allowed, though).

RDX Jeeping allowed.

No glitching/hacking douchebaggery once the round starts (feel free while waiting for enough players to start the round, though).

cursing allowed, but no racism.

Commanders are free to fight as well, and use vehicles, but they can't use them to bunker-up with. That is to say, if you're commanding and get into an APC, you can't just park it somewhere in the back-40 and command from inside it to stay safe from knifers/snipers. Get it out there so your team can put it to use. (personally when I command I just go hide somewhere, but I know there are guys out there who are good enough to command AND fight like demons at the same time, so...)

Re: if you had your own server

50-50
Shingle to let the server start (1round) then 5rounds of camp( for the population)
ALL WEAPONS allowed (So yes. RDX aswell)
Server Name: **Camp.Shingle Only**
Rulles : NO Baserape, spawncamp, and all kinds of cheating those stuff.
Would have BR aswell :)

Re: if you had your own server

My server would be
32 man Camp Gibraltar and Shingle.

Rules: NO RULES, Spawnkill those losers!

Re: if you had your own server

Re: if you had your own server

If i had a server i would do 24/7 Camp Gibraltar FF at 50%....oh wait i already do have a server and thats what it is! how wierd

Re: if you had your own server

And it's been populated twice in the last month. The problem with that configuration is that on the game browser, anything less that 100% shows as FF=Off and then people get on your server and die from FF and they wonder why.

Anyway, I like hearing what you guys are suggesting as far as rotations go. I really wish more people would think that way. Unfortunately the masses don't want to branch away from their comfy little homes on Camp G. and so it is hard to get the other maps populated.

I would do what I already have with the Camp G Server and Shingle Server we run. The one thing I would love to do would be to mix the NS maps in with some of the large armor maps in a 48 Man server as some have already suggested. I wish EA/DICE would just release all the NS content so that we could do that without losing a good portion of the server every time it would switch to an NS map because of those that don't have it.

Re: if you had your own server

Yeah well the server is still new and has to compete with a lot of camp g servers...im surprised you took the time to research the server for a useless little comment though lol...anyway i find nothin wrong with people staying in their "comfy little homes" playing one map, if thats what they WANT to play...i find Camp G has the most to offer for combat and fun and most agree.

Re: if you had your own server

Ranked 48-64 slot city maps with a mix of I/O and conquest - camp, berlin, shingle, cerbere, belgrade, tunis in different sizes (16 tunis is fun). FF, AB and VoIP would all be on as well as PsB and PBBans streaming.

As for rules, just no racism and no team stacking. If I ran another 2142 server that became popular I'd look into writing a modmanager script to balance out the clan players (3 players from clan X on PAC, 3 players from clan Y on EU type thing) by examining their tags. I haven't the slightest clue how it would work, but it's an idea I've had for a long time and it's something I would pursue.

Also no cheating/glitching/hacking/exploiting/stat padding, but that should be common sense.

If I was personally funding the whole thing, I would give out limited free admin and reserved slots to loyal players (as tracked by Game-Monitor/GameTracker) in an effort to keep it populated....populating servers is a @#$% and it's something I don't miss at all. Don't know if it would work, but that's what I would try personally.

Large armour maps FTW! I know you and I share the same view on Shuhia, but I'm pretty much that way about BF in general. Vehicles are the spirit of the BF franchise - without them it's just your average shooter. That isn't to say I don't enjoy a romp on a citymap server every now and again (and NfB is the place I always go for that, ironically :p ), but the big open conquest maps with huge amounts of vehicles is what BF is all about. :salute:

Unfortunately I'm the last of a dying breed since so many people like their 24/7 city map servers. I'm one of the seemingly few who loved the AF maps in BF2 as well as Songhua Stalemate. Everyone else seems content with 24/7 IO Karkand or 24/7 Air maps where TKing for aircraft is considered a rite of passage. I guess I'm fortunate in that I enjoy every aspect of BF and not just one or two.

Plus, stats have a lot to do with it as well. I can play a round on Highway Tampa conquest and a round on Camp G and with the Gib round lasting about half as long I can get about double the points as on Tampa in that same amount of time, so if you're into stats and points then citymap servers are where to go I guess. Luckily I don't care about points or stats so I'm all about the fun. All I can say is thank heavens for Moongamers' 24/7 Tampa Conquest server. :thumbsup:

As for Titan, well, it's a good concept and it's fun until the shields go down, after which it just turns into a 20-minute long spamfest between defenders and attackers. :|:

Re: if you had your own server

Type: 48-players Titan full rotation, 1 round per map, teams are randomized each round.

Friendly Fire: Off

AutoBalance: On

Rules: Common sense. If your idea involves making your teammates' lives miserable or wasting vehicle assets, then it's not a good idea. (On the server's info website, I'd explicit that into the usual brochette of no dropship ramming, vehicle blocking, gunship commanders and other maneuvers to hinder your own team or misuse its vehicles.) No language filter, although kicks will be handed out to whoever gratuitiously takes advantage of that.

In my mind, it's the best idea since sliced bread. Too bad I'm not in the mood to fork over $100+ a month to babysit forty-seven n00bs all day long.
