>>>BC2 Players Poll<<<

[Skagnatti]

Back in the 07/29/2012 Admin Round Table, I passed the comment, as did a couple others in the meeting, the desire to switch the current 24/7 Heavy Metal Conquest over to a Normal, Rotation of whatever mode. Not getting an additional server, but changing the format of the current one.

I mentioned I would ask some of the regulars what they thought as well. The comments have led me to post this poll.

What would you like to see of the following:

1. Put the server to a rotation mix of Conquest and Rush.
2. Put the server to Conquest only but adding additional maps.
3. Leave it the same.
4. We have a BC2 Heavy Metal server? ^.^
5. Other. (Please elaborate.)

A majority of people that play on our BC2 servers do so because of the quality of the gaming environment. A number of former regulars still play BC2 but on other servers that rotate out. Even some active BC2, eGO members will play on other, normal servers.

We are filling the Hard Core server need and again, it is tearing it up with pubs.

Ultimately the aim here is to garner even more regulars and recruits. Also its a good thing to stoke the interest of current eGO BC2 players that lost interest in ours. I see BC2 like I was with DoD:S back when: it has its twitches here and there but man... sure is a hell of a lotta fun to play!

I think at least trying something out for a couple months to see the response won't hurt. We can always change it back. I guarantee you people will just be waiting to pop back in.

Conquest rotation could really feel good, since we do already have a hardcore rush server.

Nelson bay or White Pass anyone? xD

Map rotation is a GO!

Our heavy metal server is ranked 4th in the world currently, I dont see any reason to change the settings on it. Recuriting is easier on one map servers as the same people come back to those servers all the time. I can understand that you want to play on other maps on normal mode as well but really risking a rank 4th server is maybe too risky. I started on eGO from that server as well. Thats my opinion, others may differ.

p.s. good job recruiting skagnatti, keep it up

 

[TallDrinkOfWater]

...eh well, nice try Skag

I'd definitely come back to Bad Company 2 for a Conquest rotation.

 

[Sinful1]

I'd play more conquest if the maps rotated.

Here's the largest problem; the server is rank 4, we probably see 80 pubs, and 10 members daily. I don't 100% feel that there is proper representation in this vote, this is important when it comes to server filling and persistence of the server rank. You would have to assume that the base would be removed and would have to rebuilt from scratch. food for thought

This I concur with. Leave it for rank and pub popularity.

What about the Rush server? How does it fare?

 

[Sinful1]

I don't know where it's ranked, but it has days when it's full all day, and days when it won't fill at all. I don't see a lot of members there, however, on Monday, Nov. 26, there were five of us in there at one time.

I do know that the people who play our servers love the fact that we actively admin. People remark all the time that we have one of the best rush servers. I actually got a "thank you" from a player a couple of weeks ago. I hadn't done anything........he was just saying thanks for keeping the server clean.

Is limited rotation possible? Adding one or two maps, two games per map before the rotation. There's a large contingent of folks that like Heavy Metal, and there aren't that many North American heavy metal servers that aren't either noob only, no admins EVER, or something obscene like 1,500 tickets.

don't fix what ain't broke guys. WE have Metal which is hot and Rush which is warm, let it roll until we can recruit some more and get another server. Unless we kill a bf3 server for a BC2 server, don't touch it.

^^ that does make sense.

Maybe we could temporary nick a BF3 server till they pick up ( always easier to fill a few servers than loads of servers ) and have it on a small rotation.
Couple of small maps as I am itching to get my shotgun out!! and a couple of large.
Whatever it is I think it should be a Conquest thing Not HC.

I'm glad to see the feedback no matter the outcome.

Pancake has a good a idea, kill a bf3 server cause at the moment we can fill BC2 servers so the guys who play bf3 can focus on just a single server. Then when we fill a third BC2 server, we should be able to recruit enough to maintain server and have at least a full running bf3 server.

This was mentioned in a prior thread HERE by PJordan in a more round a bout manner.

How is he reading my mind:scared:

 

[Beemermarine]

Not trying to piss anyone off here,but, we have had a rotating map conquest server before, and it failed, I often tried to fill it, and you could fill it, then leave and it would be back to empty.

 

[Broadsword]

How long ago was that?

 

[Beemermarine]

Probably around 9 months ago, was not long after I joined eGO
