BF2 Server Is Up!

This is the old server. It is running 30 minutes, 1 map rounds. I can not promise it won't crash until EA releases the updated version, but let's see what we can do with it.

Please, if we play as a group, play on our server. That is what it is there for!

Here is the map list. I tried to rotate it with a 32 player map, then a 16 player map. I also made it where you don't play the same map back to back. Server is set to 32 players. If it runs well, we may kick it up to 40.

Let me know how it runs!

See You On The Battlefield Soldier!!!!!

I know most of you are against it but if you set the server up as a ranked server we'll get a whole lot more traffic! (that's if it already isn't?)
I check it out tonight!

It's not quite as simple as that Hymen. To set it up as a "ranked" server we have to purchase from EA or from one of their select vendors. The problem with that is that the cost is significantly higher per slot.

In addition, Ranked servers can not run custom maps, mods or be locked for Match Play. Then there is the whole server lag problem from stat generation. If you ask me, unranked servers are doing better than Ranked servers.

All it takes is one kick ass mod and I bet we see them dropping like flies. Besides, who cares about stats when the ranking system allows people to cheat their way to the top or rewards plane/chopper whores.

chopper whores

Like rats and roaches, we all have our place.......

Don't forget about the ranked servers rewarding us armor whores too 🙂 Right now it's the only way I can get a kill.

Atomm, I am uploading the new Linux Server file from EA to our ftp as I type this. Should be complete within the hour.

Will be on tonight at some point to play 🙂

Sweet, Sarge, don't we have that out of office project to work on today?? ;-)

oh yeah! You going to tell my wife I won't be home this afternoon though?

Edit: Server has completed uploading to the FTP!

wooohooo
let's put that bitch on ice

Sweet! Thanks Sarge. I'll get on it as soon as I get home....

FYI, The file you posted is corrupt Sarge. It failed the Checksum and wouldn't uncompress. I am grabbing it direct to the server. While reading through the Server List, someone else had the same problem. They suggested uploading the file as Binary only.

Personally, I just always use Auto, but this file may be picky. When the next patch is released, you might try that to see what happens. I do appreciate the effort.

I grabbed it straight from EA largedownloads FTP site. Rat Bastards!

I'm telling you

Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid!

I walked Bubba through setting up the server! It's running, but for how long, I can't say..... 😛

Did he need another map?

Duck, What are you talking about?? Hehe I built a small Duck "Easter-egg" into the server but it didn't work.
