Battlefield 4 BF4 Server Changes

[alex2142hp1]

Hi Team,

Battlefield 4 has not been popular the past Year so Battlefield Leadership decided to do some changes. Goldmund Railway I s now a Hardcore Locker/Metro If that server doesn't do good we will change it to 32 Hardcore Domination server.

Shanghai has been declining as well and we are thinking about changing it to Conquest All Vanilla maps.
We are open to any Suggestions/Ideas please send them to your Leadership Team.

Thank you

I have lost touch with BF4 and what the popular game modes and maps are. So I have to ask why would we think the Hardcore locker/metro would work?

Just to be clear I am not trying to challenge it just trying to understand the thought process that brings us to this solution.

How about a votemap feature for Shanghai?

All Vanilla Maps would be a Vote map

Simple, Nothing else has worked for the past few month. We are trying a few new things to keep BF4 servers populated, if it doesn't work we will have to remove the unpopulated servers.

We are trying to kick start our BF4 servers. If you have any suggestions please feel free to let us know. As Alex has said, if we can't keep them populated then we will be removing them.

Is there a way to keep the server "official" and have the game start without needing 4 or more people? I.E. how the BF1 server is set up?

Fair enough.

In my opinion. Going with official servers will get them populated very quickly but the ability to admin the servers will be lost even at that you could go official for a time then change them back to ranked once some players have started adding the server to their favorites list.

Maybe we could look back and try to figure out why the servers died off. Our lockers players are still playing lockers on other servers so why did thy never come back to ours?

Trying to find this out might help us get it back or at least give us some insight so we could avoid it in the future.

btw, the locker/metro server is normal right now, not hardcore.

Also, the low ticrate can be a small, but possible, reason why people choose other servers over ours.

Low tickrate could be an issue. Should also lower ticket count for now. When I usually play HC, I go to MIGaming servers. They are almost always full.The servers are-All maps conquest with voting and a mixed mode all maps with voting. Maybe experiment with that for a bit. Their servers are quick with the games and it seems more appropiate for a Hardcore setting.

Awesome. I like the shake up.

Da....We will blow Sh*t up...umm I mean yes I will help out to try to keep populated as well!
