One day they just stopped coming.
No real reason tbh as far as I can tell.... just if no ones on, then no one joins.. so it relies on a few Bronken getting in and on and waiting, which dosent happen to often as of the 20 or so Admins not many still play atm.
Feel free to join though, whenever im around I always look at it and see if its viable to join and get going. Its a good server for connection, so I just dont get why it goes so quiet especially after almost being full 20-24hours a day.
Our server has also suffered from this.
I don;t know if people have just set a few servers to favourite and then never bothered leaving them or what, but other than AVF members the server is usually pretty quiet and when all the AVF players log off the server just empties completely.
It used to be full, 64 players every night until a couple of weeks ago. Perhaps the MW3/Skyrim effect?

You could've stopped using IRNV before you know
I was becoming addicted to it though, but now without it game feels way more valuable and worth it
Yea but annoying when u skip between UK and EU servers and have to find a setting that works in each
Sometimes choice is a bad thing.

this tbh, EA released this game at the worst possible time, they care very little for longevity of the game they were all about getting units out before MW3 hit.Only problem with that is that MW3 did hit and most flocked to that and then Skyrim hit and even more people flocked to that and then KOTR will hit and even more will drop to that....
Yeh theres B2K and it may bring people back but i doubt for long given a week later KOTR hits.
would be interesting to see the stats to see num players on bf2 bc2 and bf3.
As above. Would love to get some experience in recon class without being mowed down before I get a go
I guess I could try Sniper in search filter.

Had some games with Wingzero and brennen last night.
Unfortunately, the server we were on was a mixed bag. On Caspian Border I got admin-killed out of the tank driving seat with Wingzero in the gunner because we had killed the admin, then in the next round, I decided to jump in the gunner seat of the attack chopper which the admin then decided I wasn't good enough for.. so he kept hovering then slamming in to the ground to try and get me to leave
After that I just decided to troll him by jumping out and back in quickly, until eventually the enemy attack chopper had found us, unleashed a hail of rockets and I ran for the hills as he burst in to a ball of flames

yeah sorry about that - I actually got kicked in the end which was fair enough! it started off from playing rush rounds and 3/4 of our team not being in squads, so we didnt have a chance, id sneak my way upto the mcom (alone) plant it, get killed by the entire other team, and then go to repawn and find my squad running around in our base, I think it was maybe three times in a row this happened on one rush stage
I thought the rudey words might catch peoples eyes on the chat and so remind them to squad up but I guess not! in the end I turned off my pc and went to calm down aha
amusingly I was kicked for typing "lol knived you" on the chat rather than swearing
added with the extra bonus of my connection getting laggier by the minuite for maximum frustration
anyone tried to use the lag slider thing ? I couldnt find a sweet spot at all, although suspect some bad adsl lag on my line last night didnt help, all I could switch between was people warping about in front of me or getting 1 shotted / sinking entire magazines of bullits into people without them taking much damage

Some good games last night especially on Seine when I managed to take out one of the opposition when there were loads of them but I managed to run out of the alleyway with about 1% health left and went prone and then headshot 3 of them with my shotgun as they ran out of the alleyway after me
There was lots of rude name calling on mumble. Shame I couldn;t reply via mic as gf was in.
Lost my tags a few times last night as started playing recon for the first time and was practiscing my sniper rifle and kept being found and stabbed.
Some great squad teamwork later on with ballistix, who I always enjoy playing with.

This was exactly why it needed the nerf, it felt at a disadvantage if you didn't have it equipped.
I tried it a few times before but using it just felt cheap and it meant I missed out on all the pretty graphics when I blasted people.
It's funny how many people suck now tho
But unlike MW3, BF3 will keep people coming back because it is not a hollow shell of a game.
And once people complete/get bored of Skyrim they'll be back.
But it's not like there is any shortage of players in BF3!
This is BF3 at this very moment. It is much better in the evenings though
The problem I have found with those stats is, it doesn't tell you what it means by online. Is that online in battlelog, or online by being ingame?
Plus it caps out at around 90k and 120k during patch releases.
