BF3 Maps

[OfftheRails]

Hai

I has been looking through the maps & I was surprised by how many aren't represented on our servers:

Grand Bazaar
Tehran Highway
Seine Crossing
Damavand Peak
Noshahr Canals
Wake Island

Given that the CQ server is pretty empty these days, should we give some thought to an All Maps/Infantry Only server in its place? I/O on Grand Bazaar especially is the tits.

pretty hard to cover all maps in a large game. Wake island just not do well unless it's a wake server only. Not alot of success either with Tehran. I know a bunch still prefer close quarters. I introduced the idea of making the CQ server the aftermath server. Other suggested B2k to be swapped with Aftermath since it's the least played server. (While that makes sense, i personally don't like swapping out any server that is our most populated one.)

I'm in for city infantry or bazaar server though.

Wake was killed off as you know and a large amount of people did not want to see it in B2K. Grand Bazaar was an awesome one that was part of the city maps rotation, Tehran is another one we do not have a server for. I miss Seien a little bit but its a horrible map. TBG used to have some fun in city maps but B2K took that over.

You have to remember we run Air Maps Vanilla (you dont have to oen an expansion to play on it), B2K minus Wake, Close Quarters, Armored Kill, Metro. Metro we have agreed is Metro but it is the only server that runs a city map and thats where city maps would go if anywhere.

But hell if Jason is gonna keep dumping in an outrageous 100 a month, shit 200 a month for another rack is cake People say CQ is empty but our people play it all the time, it just doesnt stay populated. Rank one way or the other is irrelevant since its 32 player and hell who the fuck plays 32 player CQ anyways, I wouldnt.

The root of all issues is we have 2 more expansions to add. People keep looking at the past. If we add anything old, then NOTHING new gets hosted. Adding old and new means taking out more than just one server. That leaves the idea of merging, but even our own members have not taken to premium so its difficult.

Were gonna do something, thats for sure.

Ultimately it just depends on who you're trying to please. While I'm writing this, your CQ server is full. But it's so rarely like that. Its graph spends more time at 0 than any of your other BF3 servers. While a selection of TBG members like it, who are you trying to make happy: TBG members or other folks? It's rare to see TBG members on the Karkand server, but clearly other people like it. It's full most times.

For what little my opinion may be worth: I'd kill the CQ server if you need space for something else.

My 2cents are that we try to please TBG members first. But we(TBG members) like to play on server full of people to kill....
So ideally, we run servers we like and community likes as well.
I guess B2K server is special, as we don't play it that much, but this is why it is target to be switch to the new expansion maps even if it is popular among the community.
CQ is also special as members like it, but it is not popular that much. As it seems relatively easy to populate, fans are ready to start it and enjoy.
Ultimately, we want to have fun, isn't what games are for? So playing on server WE like, full of peoples and with not too much admin to do
