Will the new patch enable us.....

Will the new patch enable us to have longer battles (more than 30-40 mins) on a full 64 ranked server ?

The round length (even on 300 tickets) can be ridiculously low, sometimes 15-20mins, depending on team strength, but thats just the luck of auto balance.

We need longer battles or else interest waivers on long load times and battle planning.

Will we get longer battles someone ?:)

No... probably not. Making rounds longer would probably mess up a lot of the requirements for various awards.

Surely they could adjust the rate the tickets drop, meaning we still get the same amount of points available to win, it just takes longer to earn them, slow the rate they drop.

Most 64 player maps only add 2 bases, but doubling the amount of players. This essentially means that most of the ticket loss should come from combat, rather than dominating the flags. It makes sense that a 64 player map should have 400 tickets to give it a more balanced ratio.

But I have seen a 64 player map server, that had the ticket count over 300, but they had a time limit. The ticket count was so high, that you would always run out of time first.

I wish we could have longer battles too. But I play 24/7 servers with 15+ rounds per map to minimize loading.

How? Only thing you're going to get right now is the "Veteran Loading Screen" ribbon. :p

Longer rounds are definately a plus, I wish they would at least allow a range of ticket ratios. Even 150% of what we get now would be somewhat helpful.

Dont even start with this stuff dude. If you want to play forever, get in a 64 slot server that is half full.

what servers do you play on....

on the servers I play on, the rounds are really long, its not EA's fault people like to go around in a tank and cap all the flags right at the begining of the map and force the round to end after 5 minutes

if the other team can't stop them. Why should they let them keep a base?

I second this, if your team can't get rid of a tank that went around with no trouble, capping spawns in 5 minutes, then your team obviously sucks. Tanks are strong but not unbeatable
