By the amount of players you would have to think it is Monday 4am or something but no its really prime time on a Friday night.....lol

Worth the $250.00/month investment for an entire dedi? You be the judge.

Well then.. has BC2 really died already? I don't want to think so, but from those pictures... I don't know if we should have 5 servers for it.

like i said in vent, we just need to throw all of ourselves into one server, and it will populate.
then we jump onto the next and ifll that up.
believe me, this shit works

I'd say cut it down to one server, and if it is full often, open another. From there, if it even gets that far, we would have to see how things progress then make a decision based on those statistics.

We didn't start off with 5 CS:S servers. I don't really see why we should of for BC2.

I blame EA
BFBC2 servers have been 50/50 the past week.

We would be good with 2 BFBC2 servers.

Zombie Murder was a zombie community so why not get a server for the best pc game yet.
Call of Duty 4- Zombies or VS.Zombies.

Zombies is, you get knife you become a zombie.
Zombies powers, is zombies with powers.
VS.Zombies is Human VS Zombies.


Or we can get good old plan Cod4 S&D HC

That always happens with those games.
2 BFBC2 servers is enough, in my opinion.

Can't we just play some source please? Not that we went from 15 servers to about 5 or anything......

there are better games then source games.
WE gave it a try and its not working, we can try something else like cod4 or BF2

Better by whose estimation, and will these people play them enough to even bother trying? The problem isn't game quality it's getting the server popular, which has failed in every game we've tried but source because the majority of us don't play those "better" games, or we just don't have time or desire to sit and play that game and populate a new server...Until we broach out to a new game and don't fail within the first year then I'll support the idea...till then fix whats broken in source and lets get back to the quality and quantity of variety and fun that source used to be... IMO obviously

The second to last one seems to be doing fine. To be completly honest any time I've been on the SG servers they've lagged for me. Maybe cut it down to 2 or 3 servers.

I don't have the game but I would do what Jazzyy said. Get all together in vent, jump into one server, when it's full, slowly one by one leave and populate the other servers.

I guarentee a good amount of those "would-be" players have scurried on back to something more quote and quote " Mainstream and polished" as they say. The thing is MW2 snaps pepole in like a net, and once Infinity Ward has you where they want you, you arnt going back to "gaylo" or this game.

BFBC2 is still really buggy, so I blame that.

Well, first of all, no. People that play this game like it better than MW2 by what they say on the official forums and on the steam forums. Second, the only reason people are leaving is because the game is bugged and they are working out the kinks but when it is done there will be a flood to play it. People are going back to MW2 because the servers aren't fucked up and can support the load.

This SHIT WORKS okay, when people use the 'Play now' button, EA Online searches for severs that are necessarily full, or empty. We can use this to our advantage easy.
We peeps have proven to be very coordinative people in Ventrilo on Bad Company 2 in game, so why not just help the server in the least bit, so we can atleast know that the donators money is going somewhere.

Really guys, I'd hate to admit it but...The only real reason people play our servers is because we are different, it's why our TF2 server failed, we just had vanilla TF2.
Now I wasn't here when this shiz started but when I played jailbreak the reason I played it because I fucking hate CS:S but goddamn I love this mod. We bring different to the table, we aren't plain old CS:S. What I'm trying to say is we are S.O.L. until there are true mods for Bad Company 2. :[

Usually, when we expand to other games...it fails.

TF2 - failed

GMOD Dark RP - failed

CoD: WaW - failed

BFBC2 - Too early to tell, but...

(I may be missing a few, forgive me.)

I am honestly really surprised TTT has stayed popular, but it's good that it has. SG is a C:SS based community, and when we expand to more games the servers usually flop. History repeats itself. But, as Haggard said, you be the judge of the $250 investment.

IMO, just keep 2 or 3 servers for now and if the servers prove to not be popular, remove 'em.

I blame that people have issues with the game playing well.

I love BF games, but this game runs like poo, so I have not been playing it.

an update was released today fixing some minor shit, the server browser is being remade as we speak, no need to fret on it for now.
