Tuesdays and Thursdays Euro Forces Nights?

[XDCNeonSamurai]

As you can see from the list below, the majority of the regulars on the server have the Euro Forces booster pack. The suggestion was that we run it on the server for a couple of nights and see how popular it is, and I suggested we do it Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Do we go ahead and stick it on the Server tonight and see how well it goes down?

Here’s the list of which addon each of us has:

Neon – Euro – –

Cowboy – Euro – SF –

Insane – Euro – SF –

Ronathon – Euro – SF –

OldPhart – Euro – SF

Lammie – Euro – SF –

McQueen – Euro – SF –

Airmessy – Euro – SF –

Turks – Euro – SF –

FluffyBunny – Euro – SF –

Snell – Euro – SF –

Cronic – Euro – –

Crazy Hippo – Euro – SF –

Lensman – – SF –

WET – Euro – SF –

Morph – – –

Wipers – Euro – SF –

ghey idea tbh .. 3 maps.. only 1 worth playing.. cant see people wanting to play 3 maps continuously never mind 1 all night..

I suggest popping a new profile in ClanForge including Great wall with the usual rotation and see how it goes.. I can imagine loads having EUro now so I wouldnt imagine it depleting the server.. if it does .. change profiles back asap! 😀

Wot Insane said, but maybe 3 EF maps in a row, starting around 19h30ish??, the one with all the choppers is coolish

I’d favour having one specific night say next week sometime – then guage how much interest there is in it. We could advertise it on the server messages and post in the Rats, 256 sites etc.

I think its generally accepted in the Bf community that EF has not been a success – its just not that popular. Finding servers with it on is now quite difficult. Maybe when armoured fury comes out we can run dedicated nights using maps from both packs, or pick the two best maps and put them into the rotation.

Operation Smokescreen

Are you going to start this tonight? pwwweees pwetty pweees

All 3 maps are worth playing (only Tabara Quary is a bit iffy)

Op SS and TQ are an engys wet dream 😀

I thought that Operation: SmokeScreen and Great Wall were pretty good maps. I like fighting in all the thick smoke with tanks and helicopters looming out of it.

The one with the quarry is a bit of a ‘Kubra Dam’ IMHO, but it might be good as a 16 player map. I like that the XDC server does the 16 player thing on some maps as it adds to the variety.

Stick the Euro Forces maps on the server to kick in at about 19:30 tonight and maybe run Great Wall and Smokescreen through twice each, just to see the reaction. If everyone buggers off then change it back to vanilla.

IMHO this is because out of all three maps you can only rack up big scores on GW and in general most players are in it for the stats when it comes to playing maps.

The other two, TQ and OSS, involve a far bit of traveling between flags, maybe to only get a couple of points for the cap. People seem to shy away from this as they want to run about as medics racking up huge scores (no revives from players killed in vehicles).

You can almost guarantee that AF maps will be on the scale and layout of Op SS and TQ, you need the space for the armour/planes/choppers, so I think all you kark/shraq/mashed fans are going to be dissapointed.

To sum it up, these maps are’t bad they just don’t attract players as they require a different style of play as they need more engy’s/support/specops and less medics/snipers/assualts.

8) scuse me for me 2ps worth here,

If we have EF, and then buy Armoured Forces [?] will the two work in the same rotation being mini mods?

Great Wall of China 16 player size is brilliant smoke screen is far the superior map, but too overpowered by planes if there are good pilots about.

I absolutly positivly fucking dread and hate SF’s ‘Iron Gator’ – it’s the wankest map in the history of EA roll-out, far more wanky than vanilla Kursk, far far more wanky than BF2 wake….

I’ll be joining whatever you guys play cause I love you all so much and I can’t bear to be without you for more than 4 hours, …p.s. when can I move my stuff in?

[XDC_Wolf]

Yes, but wioth the vehicle drp thingy it will make travelling between flags easier surely?

[XDCNeonSamurai]

I think that the Urban maps are popular because you are always in the thick of the action. With some of the others (Oman springs to mind) if you respawn at a location far from the action and you’ve no transport then it’s a slog to find anybody to fight. Sharky or Karky don’t have that problem.

Reducing the map sizes to 16 player seems to solve a lot of these issues and remove the problems with ace pilots spoiling the fun.

[airmessy]

Ill stay out of the plane as long as there is no good pilot on the other side.

Only reason that i fly on plane maps is becuase its a case of be the bombed or the bomber.

IF there is no other desent pilot in the plane on the enemy side ill stay on the ground. But if there is a good pilot i am going after him 😈
