Battlefield 3 Server 64 SLOTS

[Sirus]

Hi All
As a few of you are aware me and Psycho are looking at doubling the slots on our server from 32 to 64 slots
We have been given a price for this of £62 per month and are ready to go ahead if you lot agree

What we need to know is,

1- What are your thoughts on us having a 64 slot Public server?
2- Who is still interested in playing in Edom matches?

We need to know about Edom so we can decide if we still need the 16 slot match server
If there aint enough interested in Edom matches then we can drop that server and save some cash
We can still get scrims anytime from irc and play on someone elses server if needed

Let us know as soon as poss guys

I would be happy to drop the private server for now, lets face it, we dont really use it that much at the moment. There are not alot of 64 slot UK servers and most of them are fairly busy every time I look at them. The way I see it, this game was made to play with 64 players on it. Look at some of the maps, such as: Operation firestorm, Wake island, Caspian Border and Damavand peak). I think we could only benefit from upgrading. It will increase the chances of us recruiting new members and if we decide we want to play in Edom then we could add a 16 slot private to the our servers as well. Tell us what you guys think

I pretty much agree with Psycho, as for edom I wasn't much of a fan of 4v4 but I think 8v8 would be better if we got enough on. A 64 slot server I can see going down well, recently our server has been quite busy and if what Psycho said about there not being many UK 64 slot servers then ours should remain busy most of the time hopefully

edom is fun but this game isn't like COD where playing on public was shit, so i vote yes to 64.

My pc doesn't really like 64 slots, the sound cuts out most of the time when I play 64 slots. Obviously it's much better for conquest large, but I don't really know how it plays on rush with that many people so it'd be worth checking that out first.

Also I like playing Edom matches

hmm i like the fact that the server will be busy and will mostly be full and it will be great for some maps and such but like onion says not sure about some game types with that many, but im sure a good solid rotation will sort that out.

Operation Metro with 64 people is a complete no go!

All of the new maps are good with 64 players as is Caspian Border, Operation Firestorm and Kharg Island. Not sure about the rest though, I imagine Siene Crossing would be a campfest of LMG's bipoded up in the buildings and I can't see Grand Bazaar working well either...

Just as an afterthought we could put the tickets up a lot higher, maybe 1000 or so
I have seen some servers at 5000
This would mean the maps would last a bit longer and with 32 each side it wouldnt take more than 20-30 mins per map
I do agree that some maps are a bit small for 64 players
Obviously there would be no TDM or squad rush in the rotation either
I am not sure if 64 slots willl open the map a bit more on some maps tho

I've found on some maps it is hard to find enough people to shoot as everyone seems to be in vehicles. A 64 man server will give more people to shoot at, hopefully. I prefer rush to conquest and prefer matchs to public, i enjoyed our edom matchs but the 4v4 squad rush is over to quickly. I think it will always be a strugle to get enough players for 8v8 matchs. I've lost interest in bf3 atm but will try and get back into it after my long weekend away.

It's ok for me to have 64 slot server, but we have to kick some maps out, because playing with 64 on metro or other map like that is a total massacre.

Im interested to play edom matches
