So, I wanted to play something different today so I said, why not SF?

I go looking for some night maps. There are BARELY ANY NIGHT SERVERS TO BEGIN WITH

Of the night servers, the map sizes didn't correspond with the amount of players. I like for this to be correct. OMG THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE NIGHT SERVERS! Does anyone agree wih me?

If it'll be constantly (maybe not in the early morning or late night) populated and my clan doesn't mind, I can set my 16-man server to all night maps with 16-man maps.

Why dont you set your server to a 16 man 64 maps server to get more people and more points?

You don't get "more" points, you just play for about 3-5 times as long. Play on a 16 man map size, you will get 30 points average maybe. But you can play about 5 rounds in the time you play one 64 man round. It equals about the same, but you have the chance of getting more gold's or what not. I don't get why people insist 64 man servers get you tons of points since it adds up on 16 man anyway.

I HAD night maps going for awhile but since the 1.3 patch it seems that mostly you'll be playing by yourself as it crashes it takes alot of patience to bring it back online. I have a small fan-base of Night Map lovers, but it seemed to do well on weekends and thats it. With the decline of BF2 activity since the 1.3 patch I dont foresee us doing this until it is fixed as it was hard as hell to keep populated anyway. But now we have a 50 man server. Right now its on Warlord (my fav! ) but I am gonna move to Karkand to get some people interested until the Night Maps. If I move this to Night Maps in the morning -- people better make it work; as I did before,but it only lasted on the weekends. So what do you guys think? Should I move it to Night maps??

uh.. but that's the whole POINT of night maps, the poor visibility... if it was the same as day maps why make night maps?

One of my fondest memories on Leviathan was during an intense firefight with a squad who my squad had just made contact with, and while flanking with one other squadmate, a friendly helicopter materialised out of the darkness and passed away overhead. It gave me a thrill, because I didn't see or hear it until it was suddenly right overhead like some sort of spectre.

Another good one was I defended the top right hand corner flag for MECSF using nothing but a G3 and the darkness. Even after they figured out I was there they couldn't find me, I got 15 kills (of the same 3 or 4 people) before they cornered me, and I was able to withdraw alive because a friendly APC showed up just in time to turn them into the hunted.
The key to nightfighting is only use NVG sparingly (like put them on, look around, turn them off, move to next bit of cover) and to use the darkness to gain advantage over enemies.

I love night maps, espescially Devils Perch, although had a good run on Leviathan.

Shame there arent more servers, but usually SF is on a rotation so just hop on a fairly full SF server and hope it rotates to a night map.

Night maps for me are great as its not a death-fest like Karkand etc, you can be sneaky and find a good spot to hide and shoot from.

NVG is a pain when it runs out, but more than likely I am dead by then or found a place where I dont need them, most of the built up areas are too well lit for NVG, you need to turn them off to play.

If you wan't good servers with night maps try rubberducky # 2, and Old Bastards Clan SF server. Usually everyone in each is pretty cool.

Bahaha, someone gave me -1 because I like night maps. Bitter that I'm enjoying something we both paid for that you don't like? Have the guts to sign your karma next time.

People that don't like SF are Probably a Karkand player that is afraid of strategy or skill; more or less afraid of the dark.

I *love* the night maps.

Well, okay, I *love* Devils' Perch. Leviathan is okay. I've never had the chance to play Night Flight online - the map plays awesome in single player though. I seem to play better on night maps. Maybe there's something of the sneaky bastard in me.

Down here it seems no-one likes the night maps, so the servers that run ALL the 64 player SF maps are usually empty in favour of the "Day Map Only" servers. On the rare occasions where it is populated enough for a game it is rare that it stays up long enough to get through the cycle to Night Flight.

Anyone know of any servers in the Asia-Pacific region that run only night maps, or run all maps and are usually populated?

Or are there 9 others in or near Australia that want to join me on Internode #17?

Night maps are the best - you have to (and have time) to think. This is much more interesting than playing part in massacre on Karkand, running around spamming everyone with grenades.

P.S. I have to admit, when I've bought SF, first maps I've played were night ones and I've got owned constantly. Even stopped playing SF for some time because of this (was thinking that "SF sucks"). Later on I've rediscovered "the joy of night" though.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.
The problem with night maps isn't the map itself.
It's how crappy the NVGs are.

You actually use NVG's ?? Hell when I got my new computer I didn't have to. Night Maps are really hard to play thats why people never filled up our server when we had 24/7 Night Maps, and the fact 1.3 keeps crashing.

i would LOVE to see some intense 16 map size, or smallest available, with a load of players on straight night maps..... that would be pretty damn cool i think

I love night maps, they can be a little intimidating at first but then they seem to grow on you.
I also feel that night maps promote better teamwork.

Very true, except that you forgot to mention that you get WAY more points playing on a more packed server, since you halve travel time and double, triple, etc. grenade efficacy.

Oh, and the BF2 maps are more interesting anyways. Night maps were supposed to be the whole point...
