Battlefield 4 The Locker problem...

[Dib19]

OK, so we all know that metro was popular in bf3 and lockers is metro 2.0 which is a little better however with the 64 person sever the map still gets locked up (no pun intended) with a fight for C however even when we have a group that tries to flank through the snow, but then you still get stuck in the bright snow that you can't see through and then get stuck fighting just outside of C by the 50 cal. sniper rifle. I think that this map with less people is great, but with a large 64 person server it puts a lot of stress on the server and then it crashes a lot (for me at least). With our other server that is 24/7 lockers I just don't see a reason for the map on the regular conquest server. So, my request is that we remove it from the vote map option especially when we have may members of eGO that do not like the map much either. And if we ever want to play it we can just go on the 24/7 server. So can we do something about it please?

But I haven't played it yet. Remove it in a month.

I would keep it, remember its not only us members who plays on the server, besides there are many people including myself who like the map but not 24/7 its a welcome turn around from big maps after a while, and i don't feel like switching servers beeing in a que every few matches just because i want a different map.

i kinda agree here. if someone has the wish to play locker they can spend all day and week on our locker server. if someone asks in chat if there is no locker on the server we can just tell them to go to our 24/7 locker. and as a member of the division/eGO id like to add that if you just played a couple of rounds on the locker server and you get off to play with vehicles and the next map happens to be locker it kinda sucks

nothing too big but i believe its a good point to take locker off the conquest server. maybe limit it to the US conquest since theres no EU locker server (and we know some ppl dont like a ton of high pingers )

I was talking about this yesterday. The best option would be to leave it on the rotation but take away the vote map nomination for lockers. That way if people don't vote it has a chance to cycle to it.

Guys remember we ran metro even on all popular maps in bf3. Lockers is a easy to fill map and pubbers will join even if there are only 10 guys on the server. Its much easier to fill a server with 5 guys on locker than on parcel storm. I understand the annoyance of playing that map so many times but it remains a really popular map and we cant just remove it. Also remember one of our servers is also in EU who do not normally use our NA servers.

Point is that it is a popular map and we require it atleast right now with the amount of crashes to fill the servera back up fast. We can revisit this after sometime once things are more stable.

you see, I actually had the exact opposite experience regarding parcel to lockers, I was playing last night and we had about an 8 on 8 going (an amount where the map is fun) but the majority of the players were not pubbers. And then yesterday earlier I was trying to restart the server after a crash and the map was on parcel and it filled up to about a 16 v 16 pretty quickly. One last thing, is there a way to remove the gameme chat thing? (sorry I don't know the technical term for it) but it makes it very hard to recruit and even catch a single chat message in general.

I can understand the idea behind keeping it to help fill up the server again once it crashes, but when that map itself has a tendency to crash the server and it gets voted for as every other round, it's really annoying. At LEAST set it up so that the server won't play the same map more than once every 4 rounds or something.

I think 64 is the best size for locker, actually. It gives the map it's fullest color and beauty. It's obviously a bit intensive with all the explosion spamming in such a small vicinity, my recommendation is to temporary lower your graphics a notch just for the map, it'd take 2 seconds and would save YOU the crash. It's a very popular map, infinitely better than metro while accomplishing the same thing, and it's full of action and never seems to disappoint when it comes to seeking adrenaline inducing action.

Yeah the map rotation idea sounds like a good one to me if there is a way to do it.

I play on the 24/7 Locker server all the time. It's a great map not my favorite though. I just like it because its easy to rank up playing Locker repeatedly. Also easier to rank up guns as its infantry only. As for the lock up at fighting for C. It's really not a problem at all anybody can take C from the opposing team. Just from what I've noticed people won't push C at all. It's like they would rather sit in the hallway right outside of C trying to rack up kills for their K/D ratio than play the objective. All you need to take C is one good push and its yours whether its a 32 man server or a 64 man.

Hope you guys keep the server as like I said its my favorite for ranking up. And with Metro coming back soon. Could always make it a 24/7 Locker/Metro server kind of pit the two maps against each other.

I agree. If the team just sits, you will not get anywhere, as I do see alot of people just sitting trying to rank up kills!

By the way...Welcome to eGO Plums!

This, this exactly. People get so preoccupied with launching grenades under C that the fail to realize all they have to do is launch one smoke grenade and rush with the 10-15 people they have and they'll annihilate anything and split up and rush into the next cap or up the tower.

 

[Mr.SaJoRa]

why so complicated? just go around c and cap their backflags.
