Right server is up and running (search for Pistonheads2) - All I need now is recommendations for options (Maps, tickets etc) and money (if you PM me a contact email I pass on my address/details) - all those that pay towards the cost will get a reserved slot (as soon as I work out how to configure them).

I will send you an email over the weekend. Will PayPal do if I can work out how to use it ?

If you don't mind, I'd like to see what ping I get from the server before committing.

The chances are it will be 130ms+ for me.

No probs - no point paying for something if it's rubbish (hence the monthly subscription - if it doesn't work out I'll try another host).

Ditto. I'm sure I have a paypal account setup somewhere, I'll get onto it one evening this week/weekend.

Cheers!

OK I give up. Just tried for 15 minutes to put a poll up and either I'm stupid (no need to answer that) or its broken.

Anyway, I think 600 tickets is the right amount (or 150 if Rush). I think a map rotation of no more than 8 (I'll go with that unless general consensus is 6).

My personal 8 would be:

Caspian
Wake Island
Oman
Karkland
Firestorm
Kharq
Nosehair
Damavand

Id also be happy with a mix of CQ (maybe even CQA) and Rush

What exactly is the difference between CQ & CQA?

That aside I think you've hit the maps/tickets etc spot on.

Although on a personal note I would love to see at least one of either 'Tehran Highway' or 'Bazzar' in there, as I flipping love those 2 maps. When you jump into a random server on either of those it's often full of idiots, but the PH games we've had on them have always been a flippin' good laugh.

One side starts with all/most of the flags, but less tickets, but I think no 'base'. If the attackers get all the flags, and the defenders don't have anywhere to spawn, then the game finishes. Something like that anyway.

Re: maps, Im guessing its not hard to swap the map rotation over after a few weeks if thats how the majority want to roll?

Ah yeah I get you, like how they used to have it on a lot of the original BF1942 maps, I always enjoyed that mode. Many games spent trying to find that last enemy hiding away somewhere after all their flags had been taken!

Yeah should be able to add/swap maps to the cycled list as and when needed.

I'll give you a tenner at the rugby final, you just let me know how many months of my share it will cover.(what ever that may be.)

Or I can pay direct if you prefer once you get your paypal set up.

Can I be an admin. I won't abuse the power, honest

[Stagpump]

I personally fecking love Metro but I know that isn't too popular on this thread so I would ask that at least bazaar or highway be put on to give a little to the infantry junkies like me

Ohhh, ill have a go on the server later.

My BF3 name is B0lognese

[Asterix]

As expected, I'm getting an average ping of around 150 - that is unplayable for me

Damn Dubai and it's nowhere nearness.

Added you to the Player List on page 1 dude. Add all/some of us from the list so you can join whoever is online.

Although at the minute I think I would happily swap Dubai's nowhere nearness for the UK's everywhere wetness.

Good call on map list, but agree with the Squirreled-one that I do enjoy a bit of Grand Bazaar

[FUBAR]

Happy with GB (just to keep you sneaky hide round the corner seelaggs quiet). Can add it to the list or swap it with one of the listed

I am a big fan of the vehicle maps but like a bit of variety in the map rotation. So a couple of infantry only ones like Metro or Grand Bazaar get a thumbs up from me too.
