Allow me a moment of expostulating.....

The population you are referring to is the current reg BC2 crowd. The Population I am referring to are those who don't partake. They are in addition to the current group. I'm not talking about splitting a population but rather adding to the roster with people who intentionally don't play due to it being hardcore. And yes there seems to be a few of them out there. I say forget out the actual numbers for a second and look in our community... This is why I made this, to please those people who yearn for a TPG:BC2 playground without the flaws of HC mode that make it a very frustrating endeavor. For that population make a server for them - hell make it a 24 man server, lose the killcam and FF, it doesn't matter if it gets labeled as HC because the people using it will have friends and those friends have friends, it'll naturally propagate and random pubbers will join.

Ain't the pop that'll stretch - it'll increase.

You can customize that stuff dude.
Like regular damage, NO killcams, ff ON, mini Map off, etc...
You can make that what ever you want it to be, it's not just ALL hardcore or ALL vanilla...
Look at Tactical Gamers server... It's perfect, FF ON, mini map off, killcam off, health 100% (NOT 60%).
I think TPG shouold be like that. I believe that is the best game play.

Honestly, I wouldn't bother with a second server at this time. Let's just keep our main server primed and hoppin.

BF3 is right around the corner anyways, why not maximize what we have now until then?

I understand it can be set up with certain things on and off but:

Kill Cams, No Friendly Fire and all the STOCK settings because DICE in their infinite wisdom equates Friendly Fire = ON in the server browser = Hard Core. We used to have countless people join our old server, expecting hard core and getting vanilla with friendly fire on. When you stray away from the 'stock' config for either mode, you cause more harm than good.

As for the 'majority' being for normal, Imis is 100% correct. Those who don't like things, are the ones who vote. Just look at US politics.

bf3 may be around the corner but not everyone will be able to run it or buy it

And, it's not around the corner. It's MONTHS away. I don't feel like taking up quilting until it arrives.

They don't offer quilting in HC mode.

No, it won't. There are those (you included) who have said they prefer vanilla over hardcore, but play hardcore because it's what TPG runs. This WILL split the population and kill a server that's brought us a good number of new regs and forum members. That's not a win. That's bro's before ho's mentality. Let's cater to every single gamer who ALREADY PLAY OTHER GAMES AT TPG instead of running a mode that brings us new faces on a regular basis.
