crap.

lots of lags for me then

Not to worry buddy... eventually we'll have servers in multiple locations.

I must honestly say, that even with my 160ping, a few moments ago, I was able to play very well on that server. Unfortunately there were only 4 players, so I don't know how it would be for me if the server is full... but considering the ping, all was very smooth.

Not a big deal really . I have the server resources and it cost me nothing to throw up a server for you guys. Looking forward to getting in some battles with everyone .

Let me know what gametypes on what maps everyone likes and I will get it set up for ya how you want it.

Ive set it for 20 players right now but can increase it to 32 if needed . The only map that gives the server any problems is moon-dust ,for some reason that map eats cpu resources 3 times as much as the rest of the maps. As soon has the dev release some more tools I can provide admin access to the server. hopefully though they will get the public release of the server done but I forsee it taking them a few weeks to get it out.

I am also open to starting any smaller 6v6 or 8v8 etc servers for anyone wanting to play with a few friends or have a place to teach new players all about the game .

Anyway enjoy the server and hope to see a few of you in there .

The server is based in Texas but the Server company (The Planet) is a bussiness class server provider with 5 large server farms in Texas , they also have a direct backbone to a smaller server farm in the Uk so things might get routed better comming in from overseas . I have been with them for the whole five years and gone through a number o server upgrades

So everyone knows I dont sell , rent or lease servers and am not looking to make a profit or take any money doing this. Its been my hobbie for the last 5 years to host games for others to play .Wierd hobby uh

Nice, i tried the server and i got a ping of 80 - 100, i already put it in my favs list. =D

When time permits I think a locked server for training would be a great idea! I say locked so we can also use it for training beyond basics and in the past we have had a bit of issues with others coming in and fragging us while trying to train. We could rotate it's use to all the clans here so they can use it in private and have live fire turned on to make it a more realistic training area.

- could set up times for private training for each clan and a time for independents
- set up schedule for players to optimize setting on GPU's and mouse
- scheduled time for video recording without interruption
- any other thoughts and ideas.....

All thouse things are do-able. In fact it is nothing for me to bring up a couple of other servers if the clans need time to practice privately.

Let me know it only takes a few mins to get bring a server online .

It would indeed be a great idea to have one 'Battle' and one 'Assault' training/match server. Don't think Skirmish needs to be practiced, lol, but for those that want to practice the tactics part of 'battle' and 'assault' mode, it would surely be useful.

Sounds good I should make it a private server so wont be getting fraged.

is 30 min's round times long enough or maybe a little longer. How many players ? Ill make the pub server 32 and may each traing server 16.
