Has TTP ever had a Special Forces/booster pack server?
I rarely see Special Forces/booster pack servers, and their maps look rather interesting. Has Texas Teamplayers ever tried a Special Forces-booster pack server? It seems like it could work well, since all of the other SF servers have next to no teamwork involved and are loaded with annoying snipers, so a TTP one would be worth playing. And if not a ton of people played on the server, then it could just use the 32-player map size.

I don't think I ever saw more than 14 people in the SF server at any given time.

I've actually seen the SF server have 48+ on it a few times gents. We had a lot of fun on the server. People wanted it but they didn't want it bad enough to help support it by putting their gaming bodies in the game. It takes committed primers and regulars and we didn't get that kind of support enough to make it work.

Well as a person who spent dozens of hours priming our SF server, It wasn't a complete fail. It took a hell of along time to get it started and the first four rounds were slow, flag hoppers but eventually it would get some games going but on a grand scale it not enough people played it to really justify keeping it. Part of its down fall was the need to resart the game when the main was full and you wanted to hop in SF. No a huge pain but enough where people just went off to do other stuff rather then sit on an empty server getting sniped by me. As far as the booster packs go, man i think they are some the the best maps in the game, but ea made it such a pain in the ass to activate them, again, people just didn't bother. While i would like to see a Euro and Armor server, it would be yet another case of to few people having the maps, kind of like how Tampa clears out the server. Of the random pub servers out there running the booster maps, full servers, ie 64/64 or even an grand total past 30 people is a rare sight. Even the top five burned out, it had the greatest chance of them all, but turned into a pain, as you got sick of the maps, didn't get enough regs. constanly on. The server became like sick dog almost, there were several post, here and in IRONs forum i believe, basically requiring to spend time getting both servers run.
So for those of you who don't care about my opinion enough to read all that, hell i don't even wanna go over it. There just isn't enough people to justify the cost.
PS Been up sence 5 so may have trailed off up there, but i don't really care just gonna head off to bed.Dispatch the DooM

unfortunately i asn't able to play BF2 much (if at all) the last time the SF server was up so i can't comment on the third other then what i've read.
But TTP has hosted SF 3 times, the first time it was 32 IIRC, and couldn't really get a player base outside of the regulars and soon they stopped showing up leaving a fe people priming for hours at a time with nothing going. Eventually was pulled for lack of a player base
The second time it took awhile to get it going but once it did it could pull in a pretty good size player base everynight as long as someone primed. Then it got pulled for as far as i had heard disrupting the other games on the box or something *shrugs*
Like i said 3rd time i don't really know but from what it sounds like it was due to lack of player base
