now that you say that.....i heard people with VoIP on the BF2s server (was the BF2s server right ?) lol
no replacement, just move it in the rotation a bit. Like 4-5th map or else?!B.Schuss wrote:

I thought i remembered someone say something with it............... hmmm could be the other server were i was yesterday, i hope not.
Ok, I'll move it down. But keep in mind we have Sharqui ( I think ) behind it, so it will be Karkand followed by Sharqui at the top of the cycle. Not that that's bad or so ( I love city maps ), but maybe the flyboys get itchy with two city maps...fon|sl4y3r wrote:

Haven't heard anything over VoIP yesterday, but I wasn't on that long. We'll see tonight
Karkand and sharqi is a good combo to get the server started as i said before. If the fly boys want to fly, i ll be happy to arrange that (some c4 will help with that).B.Schuss wrote:

Fushee Pass has been moved down, just before Zatar, I believe.
The server crashed now the third time in a hourly period or so.
Would it be possible to restart the server once?
Community Update - 5/25/06
Attention Soldiers and Server Admins!
After a thorough investigation into the issues plaguing the server browser after the 1.3 Update, we believe that a last minute update in the way the Battlefield servers and Gamespy servers communicate may be the cause.
We have decided to revert this change in an attempt eliminate these browser issues. Please note that no uninstalling or re-installing is required by players or server admins. All servers currently running must be restarted once this change has taken place.
Please also note that if you are experiencing CTD issues upon start up that any alternate-ranking redirections in your windows "Hosts" file must be removed.
The reversion will occur at 2:00 PST. We are continuing to review other issues players have noted with 1.3. Further updates will be posted to this space as they become available."
Thank you,

Just crahsed again.
I have already restarted the server a couple of times since this community update by EA. Whatever they have done on their side to fix the crashes, it doesn't seem to have worked. I do believe we need a hotfix here.
Any reason why the BF2s.com NA server has max 42 players and the EU max 50 players now?
nope, and actually I dont know what u r talking about
where on earth were you these says slay, anyhow is saw that too, that the North American has max 42 and EU 64/ now 50fon|sl4y3r wrote:

well the reason is I reduced the number of slots for the EU server from 64 to 50, but only for SF. This is to help performance and also because 64 is simply too much for a SF map.
I'l put it back up to 64 when we run vanilla BF2 again tomorrow

ok, good point B.Schuss. In my opinion 48 players are enough for SF.
What about those EF and AF maps?! (I know it was discussed before but I like em)
What about those EF and AF maps?! (I know it was discussed before but I like em)
well, EF doesn't seem to be very popular. AF officially won't come out in germany til tomorrow ( at least according to amazon.de ). But from the videos I have seen it looks very promising, especially the map with the Highway looks fun. We'll give people a few days to decide wether to buy AF or not and then we'll ask in the forums, I'd suggest.
W000t, AF is already official in germany. I bought it yesterday morning around 8:00 via EA-Downloader! Also I´ve seen some copies of it in Media Markt Koblenz.
EDIT: I´ve just download it and want to start a test, but it tells me: You have to buy the boosterpack.

well, maybe it's out, but you obvioulsly can't play right now...
maybe I'll buy it today and play a few rounds before the match
EDIT: btw, what's your opinion on AF ? should we put the AF maps into the mapcycle ?

My opinion about those boosterpacks are:
Euro Forces:
Great wall: pretty nice close combat on top of those walls! Average map.
Taraba: Flyboy heaven. No chance for tanks at all. Play it as grunt and you´ll see this map is not as bad.
Smoke: Flyboy hell for MIG-pilots, heaven for EF-pilots. Includes all what BF is about (tanks, choppers, jets and even grunt battles)
Armored Fury:
Operation Harvest: nice Armor map. I think this map rocks with 64 players
Operation Road Rage: hm?! Not shure about that. The A10 and SU39 arent the best bombers but can blow
some shit out of the armor even the infantry. Battles at the highway are pretty nice. I´ve read a lot about too much AA on this map, but none of them shoot me down.
Midnight Sun: AA heaven, and good ground pounding as long as you gather a vehicle.

Mine should arive today, so i can give out my test results later on the day.
i think armored fury is a pretty sweet booster pack. much better than euro force in my opinion. plus, seeing that red tractor trailer (TIR for u Euros) driving around is the best. the little choppers are fun to play around with. there are lots of tanks but there are plenty of places to hide if you're infantry so i think there's an okay balance there. finally, the scenery is completely different from previous bf2 maps so i enjoy it just for that.
from what i've seen i recommend you give it a try.
