We don't really need it to be ranked if it's for one night. And we host BF3 already, and BC2 is about to be shut down.

If you bothered to read Max's initial post... he suggested BC2 as an option; hence its inclusion in my response. Quit trying to be smarter than you are.

It's a nice idea, but it seems like a pain in the ass for the Highs. They're busy enough as is with the regular servers especially with the mysterious lag on the Source box.

What the fuck is this? Fuck you very much, too.

BC2 has NO popularity anymore since BF3 has released. It was an example. Who is honestly going to play BC2 when they own BF3? BC2 has flat-lined, and everyone knows it. The charts show it, too.

How 'bout quit being unrealistic?

Who would play TFC since TF2 came out? Its called throwback for a reason... One nite to relive the good ol` days.

Given it would be a huge pain in the twat to do... Maybe once or twice a month, but to be honest I dont think we keep these old server files around if we decommission the server so the biggest pain would be setting it up again to "TPG Standards" and not just some shit straight out of the box.

And that I understand, and that is because there is an 8 year gap between the two, the games are completely stand alone. And I could see a throwback to BC2, but we are still hosting it, about to shut it down, and I doubt that will happen for a while, or ever, considering just how close it is to BF3, play wise.

The server configs definitely would be hard, for sure. It would take a very dedicated volunteer for it. CoD4 would be a bitch all in of it's own.

But I really don't fucking understand Wiles feeling to need to insult me for something I haven't been rude or off base or fucking ANYTHING about, I don't even see where I could have goddamn possibly offended him. And it pisses me the goddamn fuck off.

Would TPG be interested in hosting a "throwback" server with the games that aren't difficult to setup? Or is it simply too much work for an undetermined amount of potential players?

If we can get a list of games people would like to see we might be able to see what would work and what wouldnt and go from there. The good thing about these throwback games is theyre most likely not supported anymore so once theyre setup, we wont have to worry about updating them after that.

If/when we have a match server again it would be relatively easy to setup some of these games on there, then have it so that mids/mods could activate an instance, so that the high admins didn't have to do it every time.
