If TPG had a Bad Company 2 server and a public TS instance

**Blood_Thirst** · 09-28-10, 03:11 PM

I think it'd be great to have the server back up again, this is really the only game I play anymore. My only concern is if the lag issue is still present we won't be able to keep the server populated.

there is a possible script that can be applied to TS to autoswitch players to teams provided their TS name matches the soldier name.

Why would it matter if we had a server to begin with? We already had some and they died. If the game was good to begin with why would a few minor issues keep everyone from playing it? Not trying to flame anyone or get it in return. I just feel these are valid questions. Its not like this wasn't tried already.

If i joined a random server that said I had tjoin a TS server I would HAVE TO exit the server and game. Join the TS server and if there's separate channels for squads and sides I would have to guess what side I will be autod on rejoining and guess which squad will have space for me by the time I get back in. This is too much work to just play a game especially if I guess wrong and gotta do it all over again.

Btw somehwere in there I meant to say I can't alt tab out of a game once the game has started on my comp because I will not be able to tab back in without a crash

Which is one of the reasons that a public TS server has been historically against TPG SOP. It would certainly be a topic that would require MUCH discussion before we instituted such a rule.

This is currently being discussed in the high forums as we speak including, what would be needed, who could do it, etc. Of course this all hinges on whether or not the highs decide to go through with it again.

What's not broken, don't fix it.

just thinkin server space not exactly sure how it works but i figure if there was no extra server cost what would be the harm of running bc2

OMG if you act like you don't know what Teamspeak or Ventrillo. Then your retarded.

The programs are free, the are easy to config, and have been around 5+ years.

Plus most publics that have a public vent or TS server list the info on their banner or have a script to advertise it.

Its boils to 2 things. The folks that run the server willing to pay for it and maintain it.

Plain and simple.

The arguement of: "well the developer this and developer is just a bunch of horseshit".

TTP/TPG has a TS when BF2 had no VOIP and it worked fine. Personally I think Ventrillo would be better it is easier to setup and maintain and require less resources.

But TPG is not gonna resetup the server and there not gonna host a VOIP server either. We have better chance of finding Osama.

The server is still setup, it is as simple as clicking a link from off to on. So where's Osama?

Gitmo.

maybe its not as simple but way i read it top issues with the game are
population
lag
voip (with mention of script isnt much of an issue or is a fixed issues?)
admin tools

as for population if the lag was not an issue wouldnt it increase?
and as for hosting/server companies just see who the top bc2 servers use? same for admin tools ?
