Players to Start

[[MORK]Gog]

Apologies if this is an old topic, but I did a search and got the world and it's oyster back.

Does anyone have any links to the 'Players to Start' debate on this forum? I can't truly believe it has not been discussed :p

Thanks.

Re: Players to Start

64 server = 12 players
32 servers = 10 players
16 servers = 6 players

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: Players to Start

Hmm did the topic title not reflect the topic? Players to start?

Anyway I was trying to cover the fact that this may have already been discussed extensively, as you can see I only joined today and didn't want to raise an old discussion. So if it has been discussed I was looking for a link to the thread, if not, I was hoping to see people views on the 'Players to start', which from other forums I've seen, is a real bone of contention for admins and clans who pay an awful lot of money to rent BF2 ranked servers.

Re: Players to Start

So you want to know if people think the minimum number of players required to start a battle on a server should be changed - ie lowered, so that the games can start faster and people don't have to wait aronud in empty servers for people to join?

Re: Players to Start

Rofl, yep maybe I should of just asked, but I didn't want a load of flames saying this topic had been done before.

It's just that I was reading a thread about server admins getting annoyed because of the Players to Start (PTS) limits. It seems most server sit empty because a few people will show up on a server, kick their heels for a bit, then leave because there isn't enough of them to get the game going.

When your paying £60+ a month for a server it can become annoying that your server isn't getting used. Even with the people in our clan, we would struggle to get 10 of us on to start a game.

One of the suggestions I seen is that the game would start when 2 (maybe 4) people join, but the rank points would only start recording when the capacity reaches the PTS levels.

The discussion starts in this thread after patch announcements:

Re: Players to Start

The closest thing I thought you were asking for was how a new player should start.

Found this after a search for "number to start"...try a few derivatives before posting. It will avoid MUCH conflict in the future!:p
