Battlefield 4 (PS4)
Discussion
I am...
Emails to PHBF4server@gmail.com please (PMs can be a nightmare at times, and go to my 'can'tbef
kedtolookoften' account.For those new to the PH Battlefield servers, here's the quick lowdown.
I get emails of interest, once a decent period has passed (I'll close this on Saturday) I work out the cost per person and email out payment details. I order the server, and add everyone whose chipped in as admin.
Payment is by PayPal or bank transfer.
PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL IF YOU WANT IN, WITH YOUR PSN AND PH NAME!!!
General rules:
Kick bellends. Not good players who have made you cry, but spammers, glitchers, team killers etc. The sort of guy that jumps off a quad bike he's aimed at a team mate.
If they come back and carry on being a cock, ban.
Matches are played on the server, and take priority. Judge is a legend in arranging matches, but I'm sure he'd love some help as it must be like herding strong willed, slightly pissed, cats.
That's pretty much it.
Now then, decision time - messing about with fairly complex map rotations and changing them quite often seemed to reduce the number of regular non PH players. Obviously we'd like the server to be as full as possible as an easy go to place to play...
A couple of the guys on here had really popular servers that stuck on one map. They always seemed full, and were clearly on people's favourites list.
So, do we want to go for one server with a few maps on, or go for say two, and pick two good but different maps and keep them there? For reference, last time a three month rental never cost more than a fiver, and was normally 3-4 quid. So a tenner a quarter should easily cover two servers...
Either post up discussion on here, or I could setup a poll thread?
Cheers,
Sam
PS - checked the email account, everyone I've received an email from I've replied to ask if still interested, apart from Si cause he's clearly keen!
Tl:dr - if you want to chip into a PH server, take two minutes you neanderthal and read the f

Err towards only having one server, and torn between only one map that worked so well for Tyrone, and a 4 map run as KarlMac suggests. For one map my vote is Zavod. If we were to have two servers and if you can turn commander off could I suggest one is Rush?
Personally don’t think we should have any server rules apart from the behaviours in your note.
Also, Youngsyr, how did you spot me when I came for you last night, still trying to work out if when you are in crouch whether the motion sensor works or not? Stupidly I only came armed with a sniper rifle/pistol and then paused as I wasn't sure if you had spotted me or not. You had!

I had a look at the server hiring process last night and for some reason it wasn't possible to select Europe as the server location - good chance that's a temporary glitch but it said you can't change the server location after the initial selection so I'd be wary hiring one until you can select Europe - nobody wants to play on a laggy server. Guys most of you were familiar with the servers I ran on BF3 (titled Girls! Girls! Girls! and with banner pics of bikini clad babes - a corny marketing scam which worked well!!) I only ever stuck to one map, Caspian Rush in one and Oman conquest in the other and both of those servers were constantly full although I know one map isn't everyones cup of tea - I'd suggest hiring 2 servers, put a full rotation on one and a SINGLE map in the other then change the single map weekly depending on what people feel like playing. I strongly suspect that if we initially make the single map server Operation Metro with max tickets it will constantly be full, this might be a good starter to get the masses familiar with the PH brand (assuming we are a brand??) then we could switch over to the BF4 maps and/or mix it up a bit, I know Judge is fond of Zavod, Operation Locker seems to be popular too. Just a couple of ideas chaps but I'll go with the consensus on how to play this *locks & loads*

On the subject of game type and map selections I'll vote for randoms. Playing the same maps must surely get a bit boring after a while? Plus we can take advantage of the extra £40 we pay for the DLC. I'm easy though and will go with the flow.
Are there any future clan matches being arranged?
Thainy, any more tricks like that and you will have to be castrated, dirty gringo

I reckon running one map will get really boring. Are we going for a rotation with dlc maps included?
My suggestion would be:
Zavod
Shanghai
Caspian border
Operation mortar
Hainan to keep judge happy and allow some tag hunting: D
Wave breaker
And maybe silk road
Having a rush server is a good shout as well.

I'm purely a hardcore player, so doubt i'll be on the server much, if at all
However, what I would really love is a server that rotates randomly through every map and every game mode, even though I know it is logistically impossible.
One that rotates through all maps and modes that have the same amount of players in them though...
