AT's Dedicated BF3 Server and Origin List

Whoever was flying that little bird around on the canal map was really good.

I'm getting fed up with big 48/64 player vehicle maps. Lately I've been trying out 16 player squad death match. I actually like it quite a bit, especially if you get some competent team mates.

I think 32 is the sweet spot, rush isn't too crowded and the larger maps aren't too sparse.

My nick in game is Caricifus. In the MonkeyShite Platoon, I'll be on later this evening I think. Anyone else considering or actually purchased a joystick just to be able to fly the jets? Using the mouse for that is really damn hard.

I feel you QP, but that's an idea. I think I'll give squad death matches a go. I started enjoying that on BC2 before BF3 came out, might be time to get familiar with that again.

I can see myself going infantry only. I already ranked up the engineer and just about finished the assault, but when a vehicle heavy map comes up I almost have to switch back to engineer, and thats xp going to waste (except for the general use guns).

I absolutely love the rotation and Player size we have going right now on the at server. Although a little more rush would be even better. I find infantry only modes to be very limiting in terms of strategy and gameplay, and too "COD-like".

I really hate Rush, it is always just a huge mess of getting blown up or sniped every 2 seconds while either camping or kamikaze'ing the MCOM. They should have come up with another game mode. My idea was to do something like counter strike - you have an attacking team and a defending team. A bomb spawns at the attacker's home base and they try to plant it at one of 5 objectives. The defenders have to simultaneously defend all objectives which are spread out, but the attackers only get 1 bomb at a time.

I am... I have a small PC desk and I always crash when I run out of desk space for my mouse when flying...

I bind S to Pitch Up. That way I can make continuous tight turns without having to shovel the mouse.

Are you guys playing tonight?

 

[HeXen]

how do i play?

 

[s44]

how do i play?

Shoot the men with red/orange triangles over their heads. Don't shoot the men with blue/green triangles. Though most servers have FF off.

Actually, could we experiment with turning FF on at the Tugboat? It might decrease some of the grenade/RPG/mortar spam some maps have. Or is this just another "quickmatch requires it" setting...

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

The problem with the triangles is when a guy with a blue triangle is lined up behind a guy with a red triangle. Similar problem with some of the other icons.

 

[Destiny]

Is it just me or everyone else? I've been getting freezing and lock ups when I spawn into jets or booted out of server... it never happened to me before since I got this game...

 

[KidNiki1]

good times last night getting the server started.

once in a while it will crash me out of the game when spawning in jets. I don't usually fly so I'm not sure how regularly it happens.

There was a good 3v4/4v4 battle on Bazaar last night trying to get people to show up. Got 12K points, and the top was over 13k. Its too bad the map couldnt dynamically scale depending on the number of players. Like less than 16 players there will be 1 capture points, 24 = 3, 32 = 6, etc.

But it seemed pretty empty the whole night. I checked tugboat from time to time but it seemed just no action. Hopefully it'll pick up this weekend.

 

[mrblotto]

Tried a full 64 peep server yesterday...omg it was crazy. Spawn....run...die....spawn....shoot...die....lol

I'm thinking 32 seems best to me.

Add me if you're so inclined

How the hell you keep your server full? I ALWAYS see people on it.

 

[Destiny]

I got guided TV missles for my jet... I still can't figure out how to use them or even get it to lock on and fire... what buttons do you push?

Edit: Nevermind I figured it out... pretty good at taking out Tanks when you get the hang of it...

How the hell you keep your server full? I ALWAYS see people on it.

Honestly only finally figured out how during the past few days. We've filled it three times now, that's it, and we've had it since release.

Basically, what I do is turn off the minimum player requirement completely so that people can use the server to practice. I then change the maplist to only have maps with jets (The good ones, Caspian, Firestorm, Kharg Island). This usually gets me a good 7-8 people. Once we get to about 12-13, I turn back on the minimum players required for a round start (8 to start, 4 to restart) so that I can get quickmatch traffic. Once I have a critical mass of 45 players or so I then add the other maps back into the rotation.

So it takes some monitoring and effort, but this has worked well so far. I usually have 3-6 friends who will join too. Once the server gets to 15 people it usually starts to fill relatively quickly. Server just crashed so it's empty at the moment, but we had a good 10 hour run there.

Woot, I got my Stab & Grab 40 challenge on ea gun club completed. To get the last few I did a metro map that had a choke going on. I would launch a smoke grenade around the corner where all the enemies were set up, run in and knife the first guy I saw. Worked like a charm

I was considering doing the the revert to 8 person start for quickmatch. Good to know it works. Getting close to dumping Damavand and Bazaar out of rotation too. Damavand is fun with friends to do Littlebird back-cap assaults but it's a boring meat grinder. Bazaar... idk... that's like a every 3rd rotation map at best. More meat grinder. Seine is fantastic though but I split it up so you don't play both rounds in a row since it's a basically symmetrical map and always takes forever.
