New Server Configurations

Wow is all i can say looking at the revised servers, just wow. Air map server i dont mind but seriously taking normal rush and making it HC and no normal conquest rotation? Our normal servers were our top servers they were almost constantly filled compared to the HC conquest, sigh. Well it looks like we are back to what happened in BC2 with HC getting all the rotation servers, this is extremely disappointing. I was under the assumption the majority of ppl liked the normal mode servers more in the poll we did a few weeks back.

Edit: Almost forgot to rant on the operation metro. where in the world did that idea come from? I missed the meeting because of irl problems going on but sheesh, that was undoubtedly the most unpopular map on normal conquest rotation, and now its a 24/7 instant respawn? why. I just finished skyrim and was hoping to come back to some nice playtime on our BF3 servers to see only one server that appeals to me and thats the air rotation map.

Honestly, now that we have air maps and Metro, it seems like we can't/don't want to fill the other servers. I enjoy both, but we need to keep the others servers full if we want to stay around.
 
Yeah those other two servers are ALWAYS empty. I tried to start one up the other day and nothing for a long time. Took a while to start up rush a bit back too.
 
i really liked the hardcore 64 conquest server, and yes it has been hard to populate. im not sure why take metro off the hardcore server rotation. one of the, if not the easiest maps to poulate a server on. tht 24/7 metro server is on normal with no ff and is very popular, and so is that air map server. not sure why people would complain about not having normal mode when the only server tht is suffering is the hardcore one. i do not care to much for normal mode, i only play it so i can frag out with clan mates and help populate. need to add metro back to begining of rotation on hardcore server and make a 600 or 700 ticket server. this might help, and keep auto balance on. or when bf2 expansion comes out, switch it over to that if alll else fails. need hc though, just my suggestion to the powers that be :)

just a suggestion, ban the use of RPG and M320 on the metro server and it will attract way more people.

I'm against banning/limiting weapon use.... BUT seriously...

The m320 roof explo radius exploit is getting out of hand. 70 kills just spamming the m320 against the roof from below the main escalator at B.

Tell me that the game is meant to be played like this........... :glare:

The whole point of our server configurations is that they attract people to fill and hopefully join, the metro server is not as popular as you may think. You have to think outside the confines of eGO when considering configs. Which brings me to my point about my rant about taking away the normal mode rotation servers which were always full compared to the metro server and the hardcore servers we had. I found the poll and metro 24/7 was the 5th or 6th highest in popularity which is interesting that got approved over other configs. In the terms of server viability in the long run a 24/7 of any single map server will not survive, it only worked with heavy metal in bc2 because it was an actual big conquest map where metro conq 64 is made for a 32 player rush server which is why it always boils down to battles only on top of B except for when teams are imba. And 24/7 single map servers don't always do well anyways, ppl tend to get bored of playing the same map after a few rounds.
