3rd Battalion 5th Marines Server!!

Post by **RikiRude** » 2007-02-21 03:56

You guys gotta turn VOIP on! This server is great (it runs Al Basrah for me really good!) and it's got a nice map lay out (just EJOD and Al Basrah) which I think attracts people. And there are alot of team players on there, but EEK lack of communication SUCKS! With two maps that are armour and air, you HAVE to have VOIP to be fully effective. Keep up the good work guys =)

Glad you like the server. As far as I know, VOIP is on. I will check to make sure. Thanks for spreading the word about our server.

yeah, playing 2 maps is a really good map layout, lol. get some more woodlands maps on there, real maps. (not saying albasrah is bad, its not. But urban deserty is kinda played out and so cliche now)

But good server anyways, its very stable.

There are more than just 2 maps. We feel that the desert maps, such as EJOD Desert, are generally better maps. We do have ghost train and helmand and the like.

The weird thing was I had some people telling me VOIP was on, and other people telling me it was off. Then I had someone in my squad type in "Uhmmm can you guys hear me?" And I jumped between alot of squads and didn't hear a single voice.

And in regards to the maps, maybe EJOD got voted (I'm opted out for voting).

That would be why I was completely ignored last night by the tank driver, I just thought he was a git.

Worked fine last night, great rounds by the way Hale. I'd squad up with you anytime.

Riki Rude is on to something. A friend of mine said Voip was not working for him either. We could hear him talking, but he could not hear us. He tested other servers and it was only yours that he had issue with. It is a very smooth running server though.

It is so hard to find a good server to play in. Some servers have nub 30 minute time limits. Others are overtaxed and need to cut down to 44 players from 64 to run smooth. Ran into another server which ran great but had 120 ticket counts on the rounds. 120 tickets goes real fast in a 64 person server. Terribly low ticket counts is unacceptable. Some keep you on the same side every round, which seems really stupid to me. Seems too many server admins just don't have a clue.

Speaking of annoying servers.... I was playing Al Basrah and was a US marksman. Everytime I killed an enemy I got -1 teamwork points. Got to be the stupidest thing I've ever seen. I'm watching my team move through the alleys, while I pick off the seemingly endless supply of insurgants on the rooftops and I got -1 teamwork points each time. End of the round I had amassed 35 kills. So I had a high score, but -35 teamwork points. This better be a server side option and not something included in the patch.

Same thing happened to Doc, made it pretty hard to Tank with him.

It's a bug we are looking into, this happened to me as well, I had a fantastic kill score 25 but my teamwork score was botched at -25! We are not totally sure what's causing it or how to fix it as far as I know.

Also I agree this server runs smooth! I rarely get hiccups on it. But this voip problem is strange. If I experiance it again I'll try disconnecting the re-connecting and see if it helps.

The friend of mine I was talking about tried disconnecting and reconnecting (twice) and completely restarted battlefield (twice). Something with their server I guess is not sitting well with his computer.

Thank you! Next time I play I'll hop on the TS so even if VOIP on the server is being weird, it won't be too bad =)
