Ocuk Bad Company 2/BF3 clan interest

bakes0310 · 2 Mar 2011 at 20:06

At the moment im just seeing if theres any interest on here for a Bad Company 2 to eventually a BF3 clan. Basically i would make a website and get a server (max players 32 for BC2 and 64 for BF3).
I have never done this before but have wanted to do it for a while (was close to doing it for black ops but the game turned out rubbish).
Anyway if theres any interest please let me know here and also some advice would be great.

My plan is for The Bad Company 2 server, is to get a good community going hopefully mainly ocuk guys. And then getting them to join the BF3 server and ending the BC2 server (im not rich enough to do both

).

How about if i get the server and website and give admin to the dons aswell?

Your very wise

So what your saying i should get more than one in charge, say have 4 dons and they agree together on what should be done, when it comes to clan things eg kicking/map votes etc.

Also im on mumble i checked to see if any of your guys were there for a chat.

Thanks for the great post, i think it has kinda put me off

I noticed that your without a BC2 server is that cause you had trouble with numbers. Your clan does seem to have a good link with OcUK, and i think thats the best way with such a huge community.
Would you be interested in having a server, of course i would have to go through your application as a member. But thats it all i would be is a member and ill give you and anyone else admin authoritys on the server.

Looks like its better off in the hands of someone who knows what there doing, for that reason im out

Seriously though if you still need a server ill get one once someones organised the ocuk clan.
If i do get a server it will be for max players of that game also including mumble aswell.

a bfbc2 server from someone like multiplay starts from 12.80 a month http://www.multiplaygameservers.com/game-servers/bc2-bad-company-2/

you can have free mumble with that or half priced ts or vent sure last server i rented we got free on ts.

dead easy to set up and use you also get a basic webspace if someone wanted to use that aswell . you should in theory when bf3 comes out just change game type from bfbc2 .

me personally if your going to do it would go 26-32 man and make it for ocuk mainly. ive seen upto like 15 sometimes on one server together so surely with a bit more organising you could fill a server full of us regular

I was looking at mutiplay or gameservers whats meant to be the best.

Multiplay servers look really good i can get the following for a Bad Company 2 server:
32 player support
35 mumble slot
de-branding (so no multiplay in are server name)

12 month prepay (20% off) at £162.72p

Not bad at all, infact very good.

overall they are pretty much effortless to maintain same as with any servers though you may get a bit of trouble now and again but on track record id go with them theyre may be cheaper people but thats why they are cheaper.

if you are going to sort a server maybe a poll see who wants what

its gunna be about 20 quid a month which if something is sorted out for donations pretty good between everyone.

the voice coms - if your going to use that which basically i think most would like a chat in game id vote on that aswell cause while some love mumble for instance i cant stand it or vent. youll find this with vent people aswell. so id go with most popular vote if all goes through for eg.

Thats a good idea we need a poll.
As for the cost of the server i was gonna pay the full 12 months upfront. Im not really bothered about donations. But whoever makes the site could always do with donations then its up to them.

Edit: Looking back at some of the post, by the sound of it, some of you aint happy that ill be buying the server??

I would be interested in being a part of this, mainly because it bring everyone together regularly and have a good laugh when playing,

Id be wary of paying for a 12 month BC2 server, it will most likely die off when BF3 come out autumn/winter time

You can transfer it over to BF3 as soon as it comes out.

They specified that we couldn't run an OcUK clan, but we could use the tags as identification when playing online, therefore, a don or someone higher should be the leading member of an OcUK clan and the only person to show interest from OcUK, is Zefan, so let him sort it out when he's able to.

Why does it have to be an official Ocuk Clan. Just call it something else as long as we get a great ocuk community going on this whats the problem.
Thats all we really want, is to have are own gaming community/clan.
