[BF3] Reserved Slots [1.0.2] - 11 May

Procon is the admin program we use to manage things like map rotation, how the server jumps from 32 to 64 player, and many other things. The guys over there have figured out a "workaround" where you can set an open slot limit of X slots. So say we set the server to have 4 open slots. When the 61st player joins it kicks the last non-reservist that joined.

I paid $50 for Premium because I planned on buying ALL expansion packs for it... the other stuff is just superfluous
I also saved like $20 buying Premium vs individual expansion packs
AND, I'll be enjoying them 1-2 weeks before non-premium buyers. That made sense to me.
I built this PC JUST to play this game and by god I'm gonna use it!

also, I'll have to toss some money at the TPG reserve. always wanted to support this place

I sure hope so. This way you all will get to see how fucked up EA/DICE are when they re-break procon so their business plans stay on track.

This is no plugin, it's the real deal. DICE slipped this in on one of their recently patches. Reservists will supersede premium players. If you have a slot and the server is full a non reservist will be booted to make room and let you in immediately (well as immediate as DICE's programming goes so give it a minute). Just make sure you provide your in game name spelled exactly like it is in game. The system is case sensitive.

what's the process for BF3 reservist requests? I didn't quite understand how it works there.
