BF2S Forums bf2s.com EU Ranked Server mapcycle / setup suggestions

To set your server up so people switch sides ( only way I know how) is to use BF2cc and click on the AUTO ADMIN tab. You will see the option in there. Then just save the changes.

I'll be cheering on Bayern Munich tonight since they are the last german club left in the champions league ( god, why did the Bremen keeper drop that ball yesterday.. ).

We could agree on a rendez-vous time, but as long as the server is down, that doesn't make much sense, does it ? I'll be on every night, as soon as the server is back up again.

Tim Wiese sucks, just think about his pink Shirt... I´ve never liked him even I was a huge Kaiserslautern Fan at the time he played there...

Back to the Server: any Notion when the server will be back? Cant wait to meet some of you Guys on the field

Just a couple of ideas here.

Over the weekend, the server was mostly full.  However, only a couple of people were from BF2s, which led me to think that maybe we should try and advertise it more on the forums. 

Possible suggestions:

1) how many people prefer 32 players instead of 64?  In my case, definitely 32, I get laggy with 64 and i feel there's less tactics involved.

2) if the server is full all the time, would it be a good idea to create a password, that would be available on this site?  Then you could guarantee that people from this site would have exclusive rights to the server, and also that perhaps more people would sign up, or get to know about the site.

Just thinking aloud, please tell me your opinions.

@d11fdj: make a poll about the number of players!

Hey guys, what do you think about including the booster pack maps in the rotation?  I played taraba quarry and great wall last night, and i liked them. 

For all those complaining about the armour whoring, don't forget it's a good oppurtunity to earn those repair points, i need another 500 for my medal of valour.

See you tonight.

well, I do plan to include the EF maps in the mapcycle, but I won't do it until my own version of EF is working. Just bought it yesterday here in germany and I will have to perform a little bit of computer trickery to get it running on my Win2000 rig. I hope it's done before the weekend.

Edit: just finished the download, burned the relevant folders on cd. now it's time to install...

mine is coming from amazon in a couple of days. actually they gave me 5,-€ off. i don't know why.
but i like it @B. are there any specialities with the installation procedures that i have to take care?
I just don't want to screw my system up again.

ok, i got it today.
First of all, i gotta say that i have xp BUT the installation was not as easy as i thought compared to you Win2k users here.
I had to create another account and had to match my account-name to the key. Then i installed the downloader which was ok too.
BUT then again, the pain-in-the-ass-ea-downloader said activex had to be enabled, which was not.
Another BUT was in the air: where will i find that? the installer-faq told me to look in ie-internet settings.
Fortunatley i still had, i thought i deinstalled it when i first set up the os and suffered almost on a heard attack.

I just don't get it, i read about you people having firstly troubles with the installer.
That ea just can't deliver it on a cd or let people download like normal patches.
The registration with the key would have been enough and that downloader was unnecessary.
Since u can save the expansion and upolad it to others.
All they have to do is to registrate their key with their nickname. But i'm sure u know that.
Everything works now and i esepcially like the supportergun of the european union
But that should be posted in another forum, i am getting off the topic, as i am reading my post over again.

Well, when will EF-Maps be on the server?

I dont have the euro force booster, will i get kicked from the server when the map changes to an ef map? Howmany ef maps have been put in the rotation? *thinking about getting ef tomorrow*

I think it might be harder to get the game started with an ef map. I think karkand is still the best map to get it up and running. Please change the map to karkand when the server is empty so it ll be easier to get the game started. Thx.

them maps r cool

well, as far as maps are concerned, it is impossible to please everyone anyway. If I leave the mapcycle as it is now, some will complain that there are no EF maps or they will demand that Kubra Dam be added. Others hate Wake and never will play when that map comes up.

The server has been running pretty good with the mapcycle as it is now. I did put in the EF maps briefly on saturday, but it turned out that no one has EF yet, so the server was running empty until sunday, when I removed the maps. One hour later, the server was full.  Go figure. I'll add Gulf of Oman, cause it's a great map, but I will wait with the EF maps for a while.

I have thought about putting Gulf of Oman in the cycle... watcha think ?

alright, I'll do some map-swapping
