So I reckon it's time for round 2 of "what does everybody want".  Suggestions so far are:

Server #3 - Infantry only - have to be careful about map selection here!
Server #3 - Squad Rush
Server #3 - Squad Deathmatch
Server #3 - Team Deathmatch
Server #3 - Squad rush and deathmatch in alternating maps
Server #4 - 64 player maps but with only 32 players allowed

The reason for #4 being 32 players only is because it kept crashing when it got above 40ish players and I figure 32 is a standard number so we might as well stick with that.  64 player maps was Moosemans idea, more flags to make it more interesting.  There are 9 64 player maps.

Today is Wednesday 30th November so I reckon in a week (7th December) I'll try and work out what everyone wants from the replies in this thread and then set it during the day so we can test it out at night.

Server #3 - Team Deathmatch

Nice for a quick fix!

[MooseMan]

Why not run a mixed HC server with rush, TD, CQ and what not. Inf only i don't know... could be nice with a mixed one...

I don't know if we should run all maps big with 32 players but atleast the tunnel one and metro... but perhaps try all maps as big ones at first...

[RythmDivine]

inf only is a popular choice and i would definatly be there often!

a server running everything i dont think will be popular, seriously.

[guest3454]

Yeah I think Team Deathmatch aka "COD mode" could be a real turn off for a lot of people.  I like playing it sometimes but only when I am in the mood to kill with no thought of objectives!

Server #1 already runs a mix of conquest and rush, alternating.  It was set to do only a single round per map but I changed it today so that the rush maps all have 2 rounds to make it fair.  Just seemed a bit pointless with conquest.  See how that all works out tonight when I get my game face on

This is great

Min player requirements

Also, it will once again be possible to reduce the number of players required to start a round to 1 both in ranked and unranked mode. We changed it back after getting a lot of negative feedback from both individuals and the RSP companies.

Our plan for the future is to introduce a warm-up mode, where players can move about and play the game, but with scoring disabled; then, when the number of players goes above the threshold -- that's when the real round starts.

[guest3454]

Yeah, I read those and did went woohoo!

How about when the expansion we mix those in with the current ones and we run server #3 as infantry only using maps more orientated to infantry warfare and server #4 with maps more suited to vehicles.  I reckon the vehicle one would be more suited to just conquest mode, otherwise you'd have to get out of you jets and choppers every now and then!  I like the mix of rush and conquest as it is on server 1, how about the same for server #3 but without the vehicle orientated maps.

Also, how about testing the 25% health hardcore mode?  The default hardcore health level is 60%.  I'm thinking we could use #3 as the "Experimental Server" so we can test out new things or variations we want to try, like the 25% health one.

[RythmDivine]

 

tough i would prefer #4 as testserver. I presume that that is the one we will be playing amtches on in the future?

[Raft]

One server only with the new maps when release, how about that? Just a suggestion.

[guest3454]

Couldn't set the health to 25%, when I do it just defaults back to 60, that seems to be the minimum level it allows.  Maybe if we untick ranked then we can use a lower value but I like getting trophies at the end of each round!

Lets be objective and set the servers to what we think others want.

Did people like squad rush? Was it popular? Then keep it.
If not:
Infantry only server would be cool.
A server with all the big conquest maps only. (Vehicle map)
And/or a server that has the new expansion pack on it, only.

[guest3454]

ok, time to get to action.  How does this sound:

Server #1 - As it is now but add the B2K maps into the rotation.
Server #2 - Leave as is.
Server #3 - Clone of #1 with just the B2K maps.
Server #4 - Clone of #1 with just the vanilla maps.
