Saturday morning start up crew needed. I will be afk while I run to Dunkin Donuts.

I was in there at 7am -745.. nobody had joined me

But the good news is I could run around and try to bring the chopter into the tunnel.
Now if you thought it was scary being in a jeep with me don't fly that route with me.

FULL!!!

Then crash ....

[goldenfooler]

looks like we are back up to 20

Seems the server is plagued with the same issues all of the other BF games have been plagued with though. One side is always winning. And by that, I mean a good 150+ ticket spread.

But it's full again.

[goldenfooler]

one reason is CLR's generally join onto a person and seem to stack a side. I would say we should join on the server and play what we are given, though I know some people rather play with someone then against... example who wants to play vs rand in a tank.

[Schultzy]

CLR's were spread evenly. But what I have found happens is this:

Server is full, one side ends up winning because they are (collectively) playing together, or comprehensively enough to hold enough points to win.

People on the side that gets beaten - either a 50 point spread, or a 100+ point spread - then leave the server because they were beat.

Then people trying to join in get stuffed on the team that just got beat, who were not playing together. All of the squads are full and nobody can join together to play together. Leaving those who are trying to join to play together are usually left spread out through a few squads.

Couple this with people who don't play as squad leaders, or people who cannot "Link up" to cover each other, and you get a formula that usually results in one team slaughtering the other, frequently. The last 15 rounds or so that I've played have been somewhat of a one-sided ordeal where one team has a spread of 150 overtop of the other.

It isn't that the CLR's are stacking. They're not that I can see. It's just random luck of the draw, and it's TERRIBLY frustrating. The "Auto squad" feature that DICE put in this game somewhat works against the team play aspect.

[goldenfooler]

I would agree the auto squad does hurt a little. But when I first started playing Vietnam and BF2 it took like 8 months of playing before I even noticed it was squad based.

I have been on a few times and the sides were 9 CLR's on one side and 2 on the other.

yeah, my W/L is always messed up because I play on the losing side like a champ all the time. Sad, my K/D may be bad, but I go for flags all the time. Much more than I did in BF2 and 2142...

I always push for flags, or work at defending a flag. I love nothing more than being able to hold one spot with my squad while masses of enemies work at overwhelming us. I have SO much fun at that. ^.^
