BF2S Forums How do u get to fight more than 30 minutes IAR?

any 32 player or 16 player server, less players = longer rounds

If the max players allowed are 64, it is sure to be a long ticket count (330-300)?

Try 16 player Strike at karkand with a 32 player map ( EA Europe official WC11 and 13 or somthing like that )

The size of the server doesn't matter too much.  The dynamic of the server matters much more.  The idea is to have the tickets wind down slowly.  You can accomplish that on any sized server.  The trick is to find the right balance of people in the server.  Typically, you should go for a low count with low-medium skill.  Or a group that is more interested in team points than kills.  That means fewer encounters which means slow bleed.  But you also want a server where the flags will be capped evenly.

For example, playing a 64-Dragon Valley with 10-16 people will have a slow ticket loss rate because it's so big with so few people and so many flags.  Just keep those flags even.  But playing on a 64-Sharqi or 64-Dalian Plant with 10-16 people might bleed quicker because the maps are smaller with just a small number of flags.

Another factor to aid in a slow drop is to have both sides with an uncappable base.  This prevents the round from ending suddenly because one side took all the flags.

I have also noticed that the maps go on longer when neither side has a commander.  You end up with alot more surprises if you don't have that UAV or arti strikes.  And you don't head right for the enemy because you don't know where they are.  Both sides just keep wandering around capping flags and bumping into uglies from time to time.

No time limit is a good call too.  I hate it when the tickets are in the 200's and i'm lining up for a win or a star and the map ends. What just happended?!  Oh yeah, i didn't check the time limit.

There are so many factors and every round will play differently but these are few things that will help you get more time.

or you can try a 32 or 16 player wake island. usally late at night some servers arn't full and so the rounds last longer. ive played like 50 minute rounds on some wake servers. so try that also.

You need 64 players map with minimum number of players

I get Basic Commander Badge when played 64 players map with about 30 players (this badge's criterion wasn't time, but it was score). But now I have 1000 commander scores and to get Veteran Commander Badge I need to be commander for 25min IAR, so I am thinking to select a large map with few players in it

PLUS:
I saw when I play Kubra Dam or Operation Clean Sweep 32 player' maps with 32> players round takes 30-60 min.

Ive played 64 player Kubra Dam with 30 people on it, the game lasted for an hour & a half.    also got Expert Spec-Ops that round

yeah i need to get the combat action medal.  all i need to do is play for 33 minutes but ill have to find a place to do that in.  also i need to get the combat infantry medal where you have to play for 34 minutes.  i still need 100 hours for that though.  any servers you guys know of with 300 plus tickets post em.

Losers Server !!! - 64 size and 16 people max

Great for long rounds and mental scores..
