SUp SUp,

 

Now I was playing at this server today and they had the titan maps as conquests and they were ALOT of FUN!!!

 

with the release of NS I think we should change some maps around. I think taking out Belgrade, Fall of Berlin and Camp G. and replace them with 3 maps used for titan maps set as conquest.

 

Yes there are alot of vehicles and jets in these maps but the gameplay is insane.

 

just my thoughts.

What size server were you playing on? Those maps are very large.

 

Our city maps server stays populated because we play city maps only, however we could sneak one in and see how it goes.

 

When we deploy our NS server, we can only play NS maps (no mixing). When a vanila map is playing, players enter and start playing, for example. When the map changes, every play who does not have NS will be booted from the server. We tried this before with BF2 pack, and we lost more than half the players on map change.

Can you mix Vanilla and NS maps on one server/one cycle anyway???

I'm not exactly sure, but as Gator mentioned we tried that before and it didn't end up too well.

-Mix Titan/Big Conquest/All NS maps and call it a NS server or something creative...(Vehicles/NS maps?)...people without NS would shy away but the rest of us could enjoy a fine dusting of the big conquest maps...(more so for us engineers...:(so lonely heh)

I was playing on BF2 a lot maybe 1 year but i never like to play that patches or new maps whatever they are called means that i really like BF2.Now after i get 2142 i totally forgot about BF2 and i just wait for NS and i'm sure that out there is a lot of guys who get lost sometimes on BF2 and now is just waiting for NS release.Maybe a shot with mixed maps will worted.Just a tought!cheers;)

I would like to have the server cycle the new maps for like, a couple weeks. and when the booster has been out for a while throw a couple vanilla maps in for good measure.

yes, you can, but players will be kicked when the map changes to an NS map. We tried this before as I said, but it did not work.

Is NS an expansion or booster?? Because im under the impression that this is an expansion.

It's a booster pack, hence it can run alongside regular maps. But it's generally not a good idea to do so.

Ah, thanks. I really need to get back in the loop agian.

Hopefully this loop with EA will end soon......

agreed

Well, maybe we can just make a titan/ city server, and then a city/ns server. I would hate to see the titan server go down completely. I enjoy the change of pace, and am still working on some titan badges.

The map cycle on the NS server will be

 

Bridge at Remagen (Conquest: Supply Line mode)

 

Bridge at Remagen (Titan mode)

 

Liberation of Leipzig (Conquest: Supply Line mode)

 

Port Bavaria (Titan mode)

well the maps i played on didnt have any titans in it, they were the maps that usually have titans on them. I'm not saying mixing titan and city maps together, I'm just saying taking out city maps and add a few new ones.

 

yes the city maps were big, 64 player maps with 48 players in it.

 

since we will be running a dedicated ns server, unless that was changed, then adding these maps i think will be a nice addition to the big maps in ns.

Did you understand what I said in my prior threads? If you mix vanila with NS, players will drop in mass numbers, because they do not have the map; hence, making it a bad idea to mix maps.

-BUT...as I had stated...what if we throw some of the conquest maps (big ones not in city) in with NS and call it the NS/City server or just NS+Vanilla...people without NS would shy away from it, at the very least, reducing this issue...maybe I am wrong, you have more exp. than I do...just that $.02 fallin' out muh pocket

so does it mean that we will be able to play what we are playing now on the armory servers as usual and additional NS maps sometimes as well ?

No, we will be taking the Titan server down and running all NS maps. Mixing maps doesn't usually run well, when it first comes out people will not want to be playing regular city maps, thats why we have a city server to do so

yes, you can, but players will be kicked when the map changes to an NS map. We tried this before as I said, but it did not work.

Who doesn't understand this!?!?! Gosh!

Gator and sharp are right on mixing booster and vanilla maps. It sounds cool (and it is for those that have the booster) however, it'll hurt server attendance by disrupting player count continuity. It'll be up/down/up/down. Eventually it'll just be down.

 

On the large "titan" maps in conquest mode, they can be a lot of fun...especially if the server is full. My favorite is Minsk especially in the trenches around Silo 1.

thanks tilgado it got into my big head finally, did not get it first if we will have one server down in order to run the NS

Oh, I think the titan server will be the NS server. I'm sure it says so somewhere up there in the thread. But like many of you I refuse to read it, and will just keep asking the same questions over, and over, and over. j/k But not really.

Well, maybe in a few weeks we could add some normal maps to the NS server for a slight change. But I agree with Gator in that we need to make sure anyone who plays on the NS server actually has the booster.

 

I personally plan on playing NS for awhile before going back to City or even another titan server.
