Joint[Ops] BattleField Bad Company 2 Server Going Live

[SnakeDoctor]

Well I am on the phone right now with Infinity and he talked me into a server so we are now going to have a BC2 server up by this evening. I would like every one to take a minute and ping this IP and post your Ping times to it so we know if every one is going to have a good ping to the server.


4.79.145.149 this will be the IP for our new Battle Bad Company 2 Server. It is only 16 man server for right now we are hoping to make it a bit bigger but for now we are keeping it small to see how many donation we can get to help supply us with a dedicated server for this game. So please all if you can get off some funds now is the time to start if all the players do $5 a month we will be able to have our own server again and set it up the way we want it with the maps and settings we want.

I know I said I did not want the headache of hosting another server but with the boom of this game coming out and the new life it has in the community I wanted to give this Community the option. I have supplied the first months payment along with Infinity. So please as a community do not leave us out in the dark I am sure we have members out there that can afford $5 a month or so to keep our name on a server.

All donation for the server can be done through this site and the donation area. All donation will go to the support of just this server for now. Infinity and I are supporting the cost of the web hosting for our web site's because we have other things in the back ground that will be helping out on that cost for teh sites but for this server we can only see how it will go and if we will be keeping it up or not.

IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOU!!!!!!!!:o:o:o:o


Show your Support Donate it does help

DICE has requested that all server providers hold off on creating new servers while they work on an issue that is causing heavy server load due to the large number of servers currently running. A fix is in development to prevent the server browser from causing the heavy server load and new servers will be able to be setup and launched as soon as possible. Please note that while there is a delay in activating your server, your billing start date will only start once your server has been activated.

:) 10-20ping

But the server i was playing on tonight was 140 and it was still playing ok.

[Eus]

is the server cracked?

[SnakeDoctor]

At this time the only way to have a ranked server is to be legal so no it will be fully legal and be running all the latest PB. As for it being such a new game and a new type of game engine i am sure mods will not be released for a few months. EA is very good about keeping the servers from being cracked and also hacked. I have been playing BF2 legal sense the release of COD2 and they still do not have ranked cracked servers. But as soon as we get the server files I am sure that they will have a private server exe for it and that is easy in add to a server.

EA will be doing some maintenance on the master servers scheduled during the early AM on Tuesday, the 9th. During this time, you may not be able to log into your EA account and/or retrieve a browser list. A forum thread on the maintenance can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/yaa7pkq

oh I just saw that, was wondering where it is lol

[SnakeDoctor]

The hold has been lifted for some servers and they are installing them now so I hope to see the server up some time this evening if not sooner. Remember guys the IP is 4.79.145.149:19567

Well as of last night the server was live and we had i think 8 people on there every thing seems to be running fine on it. At this time I have Taliban looking around the net today to see if we can do different gametypes in the maplist/rotation. We also have private reserved slots for members and i have added a few names as of now. we are running conquest gametype but it can me changed if needed. Some game types only allow 8 players so we need to stick to the larger game types for now.

As for a larger server we will increase the size with the amount of donation we get to help keep the server going. I was actually thinking of not using the reserved slots but for members that donate to the the server but that is something i will have to talk over with Infinity being him and I are paying for it right now. I have also seen where they will be releasing 2 new maps that should run all game types.

[taliban]

So they said you cant have mixed gametypes in one maplist,
you can only have 1 gametype and not every map supports every gametype,
so for it to work you have set 1 gametype and specific maps, then if you want another gametype you have to set certain maps then restart server...



Here are the game modes:
Conquest = CONQUEST
Rush = RUSH
Squad Rush = SQRUSH
Squad Team Deathmatch = SQDM

Here are the map names:
Panama Canal = mp_001
Valparaíso = mp_002
Laguna Alta= mp_003
Isla Inocentes = mp_004
Atacama Desert = mp_005
Arica Harbor = mp_006
White Pass = mp_007
Nelson Bay = mp_008
Laguna Presa = mp_009
Port Valdez = mp_012

So your maplist.txt file would look something like this if you wanted to set the server on Conquest maps:
CONQUEST
levels/mp_001
levels/mp_003
levels/mp_005
levels/mp_007
levels/mp_009cq

Here is a list of all modes and thier respective maps:
CONQUEST
levels/mp_001
levels/mp_003
levels/mp_005
levels/mp_007
levels/mp_009cq

RUSH
levels/mp_002
levels/mp_004
levels/mp_006
levels/mp_008
levels/mp_012gr

SQRUSH
levels/mp_001sr
levels/mp_002sr
levels/mp_005sr
levels/mp_012sr

SQDM
levels/mp_004sdm
levels/mp_006sdm
levels/mp_007sdm
levels/mp_009sdm

now lets talk about this ping issue, does the game report the correct ping when ur in the server or what?

real server ping before entering server - 90s

[SnakeDoctor]

The in game ping from what i have read is incorrect you go by the lobby ping so your ping is around 90 then just do a ping to the IP and that is your ping rate. My ping is like 15 but in game says 140

ok so is this game any good? since i have to buy it in order to play with you guys, how does it compare to COD games.

I know this game is a lot more tactical that COD games.

well lets see, its pretty good, you should already have the hardware to play it, at least quad core lol cause it doesnt run well on my core 2 duo 2ghz -_-

tanks, helis, quad bikes, mounted guns, squad commands, alot of different weapons depending on soldier kit: Assault, Engineer, Medic, Recon(sniper)
with other weapons that can be used in any kits like shotguns, m1 garand, g3...also different attachments for the weapons and kits.

I was saying that you cant compare it to COD cause there are no vehicles that are in multiplayer...but other disagree with me...

[SnakeDoctor]

For me the over all game play is better the MW2 only because you play more as a group then a single player. I do like it a bit more because of the fact that we are able to have a dedicated server for our community to use and we are the admins unlike MW2.
