Things to think about.

[newrayz]

Well this is basically the same post as in the club members but i think its something that everyone needs to read =)

 

I’d like to propose that we either split the server into official and custom map servers or find a way to even the play time on maps. Maps like inferno are just getting to old. Dust2 is an exception because i love that like a fatboy loves cake. But seriously there has to be some way to mix it up a bit. And no, i dont want to play on another server because part of the experience is the crowd u play with. Sniff, i like you guys, and the fact that i can pwn faces all day long is reason enough not to leave. So is there anyway to say force a custom map after a official map has been played? and vice versa? without asking an admin for a vote? Iono it might be something to think about at least. =)

We will consider it, but remember we have a stance on keeping everyone in the same place.

Yeah i also wondered about this, i can easly set up another server with only custom maps and set our current server for only official maps… however most customs maps dont have 32 spwn points… most only haev around 20..

 

I’m shure someone will replay Why mess whit such a great server… CS 1.6 is by far the most played online game among the games we carry/support… the other dont even come close… I know some might not like taking away another game, to host 2 of teh same game, but they can be set up differently… but if they are more popular than the current or old game,, i dont see why replacing it with the more popular, allowing new members to join our server/fourms/community..

 

just curious what other’s though on this..

i think that if a map has been played in the last hour or so then it shouldnt show up in the vote. and i think that if we play 4 officials in a row we should play atleast 1 custom. because i dont think we should get another server because if most of us want we can vote for custom map instead of official. but it usually ends up snow or scoutzknives i think

[Adam Faulkner]

hum, We have reasons for it being the way that it is. Watch the votes, watch the maps, and watch how it sticks 30 people and nobody can get it. It may get old for you, but think about the other people in the server, why are people coming to it?

the purpos of this thread is not to haev sudjestions to teh current server but the pro’s and cons to having another 1.6 server…

 

 

I’d deff vote BF2 off look at the stats, we can have more ppl join our cumminity by haevng a custom 1.6 server..

 

 

It doesent even haev an 1 average player a day, or even 1/2 a player for that matter…

No, BF2 reminds me of CS, once the computers catch up that game will go BOOM! remember when you couldn’t play cs because of hardware constraints? BF2 server is an investment.

I have to agree with Adam. Unfortunately for me i have a laptop which is probably better than most computers, but just isnt powerful enough for BF2. I own BF2 and see its potential. The vehicle simulation is amazing which probably would draw me to it, but again cuz of my weak laptop i just cant wait 142342342 minutes to play a game or two.

 

As far as changing up the maps that we play. Im not so sure that having two different servers is the best solution. I know i suggested it, but it was more just to open the conversation. I remember a very popular gaming server called BHN which was extremely popular back in the day. Unfortunately do to bad admining and horrible map selection it fell off. They then split there community up by adding a custom and official map servers. This didnt help and led to the extiction of social activity in those servers. Id hate to see this happen to this server, and in fact see this as a great place to play. Urban has a point tho, but im not sure if thats possible. Some how limitting maps from selection might spice up the rotation a bit, but then it might get to complicated. Anyway ill keep playing cyaz

what urban sudjested would be awesome, however i dont think theres a plugin to make that possable.

 

I also like what adambomb sudjested awile back, we can have a custom map night for 1-2 night a week. i;d be all for that… we have so many maps on our server and only 25 show up in votes….

 

anyhow anyone ealts?

[newrayz]

was that last sentence english nodice? lol

If you guys just put 4 gigs of ram into the server and have two 2.4 ghz dual core processors surely you have enough resources to create a custom server. I can see the issue of splitting people up however. But the people here seem to have a tight enough infrastructure that it could possibly work out…and if it doesn’t you could always take the custom server down…

[pyro urban]

i think we have our max ram and the dual thingies. and i think that we can set up a custom server, but i dont think anyone would want to. i dont enjoy customs with 5 people but with 30 its too many. i dont know what to do really lol

[Adam Faulkner]

Come to the meeting, or search the forums. Its in there somewhere.

This would not be for the CoD2 server would it? Cause on CoD2 it takes a hella long time to download a custom map. Plus u cant just take out the official ones as they are part of the main IWD files and the game wont function without it.
