    Can we get this stickied please?

    And can someone be given mod powers?

    Its just that a lot of people are missing that we have a boards.ie server.

    Also can the boards.ie platoon mods add this server to the platoon pages.

    well I see it on all the time, but beyond me and wonderboy I can never get people into it.

    Hence awareness is the key.

    could try some weekly competition set up to pick up traffic?

    the starcraft 2 forum did a sort of king of the hill tournament for quite a while that was popular.

    Could do something similar with squad deathmatch for weekly tournaments?

    Winner gets???

    Would be interested in playing on it. Do we have a voice comms server? We could congregate there and play on other servers until we get enough people. I know Mumble has been mentioned, but I couldn't find the details.

    I'll rejig the sticky next week I think, the current has too much chat, and is PC specific as well. My current travelling is an obstacle though.

    Quit travelling/work and become a full time moderator! Who needs money when you have satisfaction? :pac::pac:

    OK, you've had plenty of opportunity to make suggestions, so here's the way we're gonna run this server for now:
    • Boards.ie - Conquest - boards.ie/battlefield - stick it in your favourites :)
    • Game Mode CONQUEST64 (normal Conquest has only 32 player limit and we're paying for 48 slots - I'm happy to change if necessary)
    • Player Limit 48
    • AutoBalance ON
    • Friendly Fire OFF
    • Regenerate Health OFF
    • KillCam OFF
    • MiniMap ON
    • Mini Map Spotting ON
    • HUD ON
    • Cross Hair ON
    • 3D Spotting ON
    • Name Tag ON
    • 3rd Person Vehical Cam ON
    • Vehical Spawn ON
    • Only Spawn on Squad Leaders ON

    I'm also going to make it "start with 2 players" so people can grab a friend and get some practice in with aircraft and stuff like that. I know I need it having successfully planted a helicopter into the side of a mountain 2 or 3 times this weekend :)

    I also want to let everyone know about the Mumble Server - details are mumble://85.236.100.59:17187 It's a 64 slot server, so plenty of room for everyone playing and a few hangers on :)

    I really hope we can get some people playing on this server, it took a lot for me to get the boss to agree to it.

    Switching back to personal account - I'll be on myself this evening around 9ish I'd say. I have Batman to be playing too and my Assassins Creed just arrived earlier than expected and I won't let myself play that till I finish Batman :)

    Was on for a while there but only three people were on. I think we need a launch night to get more people aware of the server and invite the TIG players and other Irish clans. Some day this week preferably. Juust a thought :P

    There were a few of us on there now, was grand. I think I may have gotten the hang of jets, I'm still not very good with them though :) Helicopters are a slightly different story...

    Certain maps aren't suited to conquest. Namely METRO, it is just 1 big chokepoint @ B.
    Should be removed from rotation I think
