BF3 Server

Has anyone rented a BF3 server yet? If not, I was looking at setting one up on gameservers.com. Is there any interest in getting a GWJ server going?

I've already preorderd a server for GWJ from gameservers too
We can always have 2 though

Nice. I guess it would be fun to have a hardcore and a standard server so people can play the flavor they like best, but I suppose it would be best to wait to grow to two servers until there's demand for it. How many player slots did you reserve and can I chip in to help pay?

Started off with 32 until we find out the stability of 64, but will bump it in short order if things look good. I ordered for 3months to start. Right now beyond that is a bit too far reaching for me to commit. We get a couple months in and i'll start letting folks chip in to keep it up.

Those 64-players servers are pretty pricey. Thanks for doing this!

Don't hesitate to ask for financial assistance, I'd be more than willing to chip in.

Bah, I broke down and pre-ordered a 32 man server; I like new things :). I'll config it the opposite of how you config yours (hardcore vs. standard).

While i prefer hardcore the majority prefrence with goodjers is standard so that was the plan with the server.

CQ vs Rush maybe?

Infantry mode on some of the tighter maps?

I'm hoping to cycle between them both. I like them both and dont want to be stuck doing one or the other.

Nice. I play much more CQ on PC, as I find it more enjoyable with more players. In BFBC2, rush just seemed balanced for 24, and pushing 32 made it hard for the attackers.

Another problem that the BF2 servers with 64 people was that it seemed much easier for one side or the other to get screwed by balance issues.

You oculd lose some points real quick at the start before the auto balance helped out.

Oh yeah. I remember spawning aircraft carrier on Wake Island and being instantly gunned down by a squadron of enemy jets patrolling above. That never got old ;).

I got my server setup. I can't test it (because the game isn't out), but I think it's good :).

Thanks for setting these up guys!

Oooo, Ancillas's is bigger than Ranalin's.
