Yeah deffo mate, Ill grab you in steam for a chat (at work atm). I'm all for promoting UK clans and all that rubbish. I know for a fact that some of our chaps really like the 64 so it makes sense for them to come to you, and vice versa.

Tbh though mate, I think over the years people have used both your and our server from here and will look out for them in BF3 regardless of other alternatives. I know when I used to used to pub I rarely looked beyond a few community servers regardless of what game it was.

You will deffo see some {SAS} on yours, probably me, if I can stick it @ 64 ;). My dislike of 64 isnt new though, we ran several BF2 servers (16, 2x32 and a 64) back in the day and I think I only ever went on the 64 a handful of times. It’s a little err hectic for my liking

Sorted, will speak about it more in depth on steam. But yeah I know throught BC2 if our server's were empty we would use yours. Beers drinks was UK’s top server most of the time if I remember right, then Lecro’s SaS server took over in the later stages?

Either way I’m really hoping we can get our servers populated, if not I’m not gona stress over it like last time as the guys we’ve got in the clan are happy just gaming with each other, so long as we have a war server ofc :D

The only thing that’s gona have me stomped is when "Back to karkand" comes out... I cant see me wanting to play anything else… that’s when i’m hoping one of OcUK’s server can be a back to Karkand only server

well from what i seen of the tools should be pretty easy

pick map select weapons team size lock server. probably just have to lock server for match night or rent another war server .

tbh i can see it mainly being small war scrims of lie 5 or 6 v 6 not 16v16 so it should be that much more to rent a war server.

whos gunna do a league with 16 v16 :D arranging a war would be carnage . so ladders will be small teams that are easy to manage.

We’re kinda building the clan up atm in hope of doing 16v16 :D . Wasn't there a GSP that was giving a free 16man BF3 server when you pre-ordered a 64 man server for 3 months?

We did a few 16 v 16 with CB during BF2, although it was mainly 8v8.

We also did a few friendly 32 v 32 with AWOL, MPG and TiG also back in the BF2 days. That in all honesty is something we really as group of clans should look at doing because its unbelievably good fun. It probably doesn’t get much better in fact.

OMG man that would be so so good! Few clans from OcUK getting together to play in the 32vs32 haha EPIC! Talk about unity from OcUK! LET’S DO IT!!!!!

TFU's name is down!
 
Its funny as Goon, it can take a whole day as well I fyou bump the tickets up. With beer being involved also, it usually resulted in, well everyone tbh, falling off the carriers. The clan pictures at the end were always funny as well seeing 63 people lined up on one of the flags.
 
Can I be an honourary member of one of the clans for that please? :(

Of course, if its a long day event as well then many people drop in and drop out. We used to just post the password up and let anyone in. There’s always space as 64 people are quite a fluid bunch tbh.

Out of interest, how do you make a server popular? Just play on it lots and make sure it's well admined?


That’s all you can do. You’re always going to get stick though because inevitably someone somewhere will do something along the way that people don’t like, Look at us and the whole issue with Pikleator (member here) who was banned from the BDS. About the only person that actually took that well was Pickle. It undoubtedly damaged our server with regards several OCUK people but that’s life, you will never please everyone.

Trying to police this amongst non affiliated clan members would carnage haha people not knowing to rage down the mic would be murder… but I’m up for setting it up! Initially we could prob use LOAMS server and perhaps our Mumble as its 100 slot….. TFU & SAS vs OcUK members - EPIC!

With Regards to the server population….. Its all about the rotation and keeping it populated, However you need a good following prior to server launch to get it populated. Hence all the clan leaders spamming their servers here, the OcUK is quite a good asset if you use it correctly… Once it stays populated Then people look for well admined servers.

Yeah sounds awsum ,could start one Saturday afternoon thro till late haha! We’ll defo sort this out, start off on a 32 slot server and if it works onto 64 :D
 
promoting and the most important thing with servers is STARTING IT OFF !

cant stress how important it is to have people to start your server off regular.
 
I think as long as your fair and seen to not stand for the obvious like cheaters then you can't do any more.

I do know that if I ever looked for a BC2 server I'd always look for a full server with 28+ players in. I liked jumping straight into the action rather than waiting for the server to become full over time.
 
One aspect that will really change the game this time really will be Battlefrog. Its going to be all about friends and platoon members. Nothing will help your server better than having people trying to join it via their friends list. EA have specifically targeted the social network aspect of gaming and its there to be exploited really.
 
o well..another week of wait....
BC2 with origin (EADL) at the time opened the game 2 days early for origin pre-orders...lets hope it happens with this!

Another 2 weeks and 3 days.
 
Does it make any difference if I pre-order the limited edition through Origin or other place?

Do I still get to use the browser to search for game?

I have noticed presumably ligit places also selling Origin keys for a fair bit cheaper than £40. Would I have any problems with one of these? (cant actually remember the site selling the Origin keys, but sure I could find it again)

anyone have any ideas?
