Different gametype for BC2?

[conspiracy]

Just trying to put a vote up to see what game modes people want for NBS.

Personally i like rush, but with only 16 people and the gigantic maps.. it gets really slow.

I vote squad team deathmatch

[Nathjan]

I say we up the player count on the servers.

[Flak]

How about one Rush and one TDM?

Nate, we'll look at more players in the future, right now we have one server we can't get because it's full in and another sitting empty.

Would you want hardcore to be the TDM one, or the regular one to be TDM?

I think as we all progress thru the game, our views likes and dislikes will change. Going in i figured I'd like HC more but it seems more unbalanced than non HC. I think alot of us just wanna TDM so we rank up, probably the quickest way. One thing i was wondering is when i change my filter to squad TDM all I see is 16 man servers. Does this lead one to believe that squad TDM is 4 squads of 4 only? no 32 slot 8 man squads? Just wondering. I like the other gametypes but on some of the maps its not really enjoyable when your a 4 LOL. If it was me doing the work on the servers, I would leave the one thats full all the time alone. Obviously that one is working, then tweak the other one. Or make it squad tdm for a week non HC then change it. Or have a vote every other week or something for the empty server and change it up.

just my 2 cents

I personally liked Squad Deathmatch last night, I'm not sure I want Hardcore, but the killcam off would be nice.

Rattle ... AFAIK yes SDM is limited to four squads of four players.

[Flak]

yes, its 4v4v4v4

Kill cam is set to off, but it appears the HC server isnt keeping it's settings.

While I'm pretty sure that Squad TDM isn't required 16 players period, but I personally do think that everyone that's renting a server thinks only 8 players is just too small of an amount with the provided maps being as big as they are (unless it is set in stone like Squad rush's 8 player count.) I personally haven't actually tried adjusting player slot numbers, but I'm sure if I set Squad TDM to 8, or 12 players, it wouldn't give me any problems. Setting it higher than 16 would either crash the server, or start booting people to keep it at it's 16 player max.

As for changing gametypes and whatnot. The HC server was set to Conquest. It stayed completely empty until it was switched to Rush. I wish I knew how to rotate the gametypes, so we could get a feel for everything and decide, but we can't (or at least I haven't figured it out). All we can really do it keep it on one gametype for a bit, then switch it to something else for a bit and see who likes what.

The HC server is now set to Hardcore Squad Death Match. (16 players obviously ) When EA decides they want to put their service back online, you can check it out and see if it's something you want

Thanks, I'll be looking forward to trying it out tonight

Everyone needs to re-add the hardcore server to their favorites and delete the old one out of their list. I'm talking just the hardcore server, not the other one.
The server will be under Squad DeathMatch.

Everyone also apparently needs to re-add their entire friends list..............

I just changed the Squad DM server to HC Conquest. See how that goes for a bit.
