BF3 Pistonheads server [PS3]
Discussion
Right then chaps.
Apologies for delay, work has been stupidly, ridiculously busy.
Background (skip if not interested):
I rented a ps3 server last month, and with the help of a few kind souls, made it PH worthy.
Feedback was great, but as I work away, the settings were pretty much constant, which didnt suit some people. It is however pretty much setup in terms of having logo/banner, being in peoples favourites, and most PH players as admin/VIP.
More than happy to renew the rental, but can't justify paying fully considering how little I'm at home, with a missus and kids to consider.
Proposal:
Quite a few of you mentioned being willing to chip in towards server costs. I propose that renting a server for 3 months seems to be the best deal if a few of us chip in together...
Cost would be the server cost as a straight split across however many people join in. All contributors would have full admin rights, and I suggest weekly planned rotations decided by equal voting, and published on this thread. Would also suggest bans are handled democratically, with severe, severe trolling required for a pher to be banned. Emphasis on fully shared admin and maximum common sense being applied, without being onerous.
Register interest on this thread, if I get 10 confirmations before monday, I'll set it up this weekend. Cost would be just under a fiver.
Payment would be required afterwards though, through paypal or direct transfer.
Less than 10 before I go to work on Monday, and it'll have to wait til next thursday, closing next sunday if those registered prior to then are happy.
Apologies for the epically boring post, thought I'd try to be as clear as possible. I'm not really this anal!
Cheers,
Sam

It'll be setup tonight...
I'll leave it open for more people until tomorrow night, when I'll PM everyone with paypal/bank details and amount. If paying by paypal, please add a quid to allow for charges.
Shall we start off with the settings that were on there, then figure out the mechanism for deciding settings for next week?

Still need psn's from:
A.J.M
Maxf
VEA
Paul y3k
Assuming those 4 are still in, that's exactly £3 each. Bloody bargain.
Emails to follow, it'll be t'other half's details cause I may have used cash she'd budgeted for.
All contributors are admins. Doesn't matter if you don't play much. You'll be able to change map/mode/game settings, and ban or kick a
holes. Suggest settings aren't changed if other admins are on without a quick message to those playing to see if they agree.I'll message a mod to see if they can clean this thread up in the week so that it's for organising events/discussing settings/requesting bans.
Can't believe the response, cheers guys. Let's put it to use and have some proper games. We don't seem to be as organised as the xbox gheyers on here, which makes kittens suicide...

All emails sent - the missus had other uses for the laptop last night...
Some awesome games with dr p playing squad rush - got my first bloody nemesis ribbon, loved it!
Norfock and No_fckn - you too are bloody nutters. All I could hear last night was Celtic cheering and Muttley laughs. Loved the warning over chat - 'Eh, Sway. Don't get in a vehicle with me or him cause it ends in tears!'
Top squad and 3 MVPs. Not bad at all (even though I had a fraction of the kills you two managed).
Cheers guys,
Off to work now, see you Thursday...

For those having difficulty with PMs, email me on my spam friendly address:

Cheers to those who've paid so promptly.
Thinking a session with all of us on would be epic - myself and a few others as distrqctionary cannon fodder, Pexy eybic youngsyr and the judge winning the objectives, and the Scots nutters causing the other side to break controllers!

meh thats too easy ive taken out following planes by simply stopping in mid air (f-35) so the chasing plane would crash into me and doing certain maneovers so that the 2 chasing planes crashed into each other just to improve chances of them throwing the controller out the window
I never want to play against you.It's not that my controller is at risk, but you're like the Jackass boyz. I'd be even more rubbish than usual cause of laughing so hard.
Which reminds me. Playing sat night with randoms. Engy, but with igla due to pesky choppers. Cue tank sliding my way.
Figure f
k it, and charge straight down the line of his barrel with blowtorch in hand.It must have been the scariest sight ever, as he reversed at full tilt away from me. With main cannon and hmg, plus the gunner position all firing at me.
20 seconds of running and jumping later, he finally got me. We'd travelled from B to A on the map with the oil refinery at C.
Can just imagine the chat between the guys:
Shoot him
I'm trying
So am I
Use the hmg, that'll sort it.
But he's jumping and stuff.
Seriously, f
king shoot him, we look like mugs.But he's got a blowtorch...
Aw, you guys...
Really staggered at how many people want to get involved, and really do appreciate payment being so prompt.
Now then, feel we need a proper opening night...
Thurs/fri/sat - which night can most of us get on? Suggest 8pm ish start, full team of phers against the world, game type/map/settings to be determined. (oooh, slightly scary thought of 16 phers on sqdm...)

I'm interested to know what the general thoughts are about pinning an enemy back into their spawn area?
This happened a couple of times to the enemy team on the PH server yesterday evening and although I didn't feel comfortable with the tactic the only alternative would be to sit back from the action, do nothing and wait in case the opposing team breaks out?
It's not good when it happens to you and it's a sure way to kill a server by having people leave in droves mid-game, but like you say, what else are you supposed to do?This happened a couple of times to the enemy team on the PH server yesterday evening and although I didn't feel comfortable with the tactic the only alternative would be to sit back from the action, do nothing and wait in case the opposing team breaks out?
Some of the maps are specifically designed to result in a strong team being able to pin a weak team in their base too, as they deliberately don't have any spawn points on the land part of the map for one side (Nosahir Canals, Wake Island, Gulf of Oman).
It just adds a different dimension to the game IMO, instead of having to try to capture objectives, you've got to try to break out of the blockade.
ks me off in that position is when the winning team's air vehicles are over my base. I feel that in that scenario you should stay within the area a ground trooper is allowed...As for people leaving in droves - f
k em. With the caveat around air support, if they've gotten into that position and can't be arsed to try to break out, then they're mereally stat glory hunters...PeXy said:

I'd be up for some sqdm to get that objective? Think I can negotiate with the missus to be on about 8...
Everyone happy to switch the mode rotation for an evening?
Sway can you save the map rotation we have, I know its possible, spent ages putting on the other night.Everyone happy to switch the mode rotation for an evening?
Oh, see your point about nosehair, but then again you don't need a heli to take out the carrier heli points - soflam and javelin from the shore plays those exceptionally well.
Although its well known you're a heli w
e!Something to discuss closer to the time, but I'd have thought the guys interested in renting a server are the sort of guys to buy every update...
Must say, I take particular pleasure in knifing prone enemies. The shock has just gotta be enhanced by the sudden flash of sky/silhouetted face...
Nom, feel free to ping me a PM if you want to contribute.
So that its not viewed that I'm profiting from people coming in late, I'm planning some added value in terms of proper organisation and comms. This may or may not involve facebook/bf forums, but I'll email everyone with my thoughts before doing anything.
