After trying to get into BF1 and failing, and trying again, I came to the conclusion it is simply a bad game that will never be able to hold my attention. I know I'm not alone in this. With that, I decided to reinstall BF4 and so far it is an enjoyable experience, but not nearly as much as it has been in previous years. That is because MI servers have disappeared, with the exception of a few. Notable to myself and other key posters on this forum is server #2, HC rush. That was a favorite, but unfortunately it has gone due to lack of volunteers. That leads me to the question - What is the future of MIg? Will the battlefield community just live off of #10 and #1 for now? Or is there going to be an attempt to populate more of the servers that were always favorites? One important note is there are no 64 American HC rush servers out there, and as of now I don't think there are any American HC rush servers at all. I have been playing on German and Russian servers. Should there be anything done, a HC rush server would thrive again if people are willing to play in it with likely only a few people to begin, but so long as people keep playing, people will join, and before you know it will be full. Just seeing what the community thinks...

BF4 is dying sadly, and nobody wants to play Rush. There were many attempts to keep Server 2 alive. We went as far as dropping 20 of our most active players on it for several nights and it struggle to stay populated as we left one by one. A Rush server will simply not happen. Nobody in our community likes that game mode anyways.

Our focus has shifted away from BF4, and towards other games such as "Player Unknown Battlegrounds", "Rust", and possibly "Rising Storm 2: Vietnam".

Before you tell me that there are people who want to play Rush, where were they when the server was struggling to stay populated?

he was playing bf1 cuban, that's where he was :P
rush hc server was heavily dependent on the overseas players, i guess most of them moved on to other things.
unfortunately, it's not coming back gen D.
sigh
i've gone back to hc campaign and the occasional server 10 mix mode. that, and a bit of old school quake live, plus some quake champions.
and i don't even like the new quake..
double sigh

1. Looking at taking a stab at Rust, AGAIN.

2. Awaiting the release of Rising Storm: Vietnam and hoping they allow us to host servers

3. Awaiting the release of Battlegrounds server hosting.

General Dietrich sucks the fattest dick this side of Texas.... Hes just asshurt he doesnt have a server where he can talk shit all day and try to make people think that he goes to the gym (no picture ever given) he will probably just end up playing club penguin where he can fit in and find lots of friends...

Really specific talking points....

Well, our current managed server allows us to move a Rising Storm: Vietnam server onto it. So, looking to set that up this weekend.

I remember a few months ago when Flir-4-Life made a thread here talking about how BF4 was dying...

the response from this community was pretty immature and hostile. people called him a troll and talked trash, but he was right.

RIP BF4

Interesting, still seeing the sam player peaks now as a few months ago. Not like it is in a steady decline. But, the damage was certainly done in the months following the release of bf1 which already has player peaks less than bf4 did at the time of it's release.

Good morning. Hopefully everyone had a good holiday. I suppose I'll post my two cents here. I've been a donor for some time now (only $10) a month but feel I need to get something off my chest. I play on server 10 (2SaltyCracker7) and feel the server is really lacking game play. There are too many obliteration Maps with 12 minute game times, which is ridiculously short. The rush Maps have 200 tickets at most and you only play one side. There seems to be several Maps overplayed with the same mode. These maps keep popping up. I played on NWG mixed mode server for a minute and had a better gameplay experience. They had longer timers, more tickets and 6 maps/modes to choose from. I returned here because this is home. I've been playing on your servers since bf3 (Spoiledsub, TwoSevenINF). The admins as a whole are the best I've experienced across the game. That being said, server 10 needs some love. Map timers need adjusted or removed. It's terrible trying to have a match that ends before anyone can really do anything. Rush needs tickets increased or we get to play both offense and defense. It would be great to see more Maps and different modes pop up. These few changes would greatly increase popularity. Too many times do I see people say something about tickets or timers. Most of the people that regularly populate the server have discussed these issues in game. Please do something about this. Sorry for the typos and grammar, I'm trying to type this from my phone at work. Good day.

TwoSeven,

Brother, we need something more than "can you add more maps and modes?". What maps do YOU guys want to see? What modes do you guys want to see?

I mean, I don't play Server 10 so I can't go talk to Brian and tell him to add something that won't benefit ya'll. Take a look at the Server 9 thread, look at how many regulars I forced to get on the forums and put their ideas on a post so we could make Server 9 not die. I need something like that from all the Server 10 regulars. However, let's ignore the fact that Server 9 died simply because all the regulars moved on to BF1, etc.

The timer thing has been addressed in the past as well as the Rush tickets, if you browse through the Server 10 post, you will find one or two responses from Brian regarding this. With that said, there is always room for improvement. I know you are not the only person who plays there. Let us know what you think would be beneficial to the server, let others know we want feedback and have them come to the forums and post on the Server 10 thread!

Trying to tell people to go to the forums is like leading a horse to water that will not drink. I've tried and will continue . As for the modes, gun master never comes up. I know it's not terribly popular but it is nice to play here and there. I think 6 choices would greatly increase randomization of maps/modes to choose from. Timers are generally okay for most modes but obliteration. I have noticed running out of time on rush with 200 tickets on a couple Maps but can't remember which ones. When would be a good time to hop on ts and talk to Brian and you both? I work m-f from 7-5ish. I have no idea how you guys set this stuff up but would be glad to learn and assist.

Side note. It would be easier to discuss this on Ts.

I'm on TS on\off during the day, depending what I have going on at the office, but I can't use my mic & Brian is in Germany so the best way to get in contact with him is through the forums or catching him on TS between 9 am-2 PM EST. I know it doesn't make it easy, and even Konflict is living in Europe now.

I know Skipper, Jeffamb0, and I think there are a few others who browse the forums once in a while. Their input would be greatly appreciated since they are long time regulars like you.

Didn't I see jeffambo was banned on the forums, lol. I'll say something to skipper and others I see regularly. I'll try to make contact with Brian and conflict this weekend. Thanks for the info man.

We had a huge influx of 'troll" accounts pretending to be players such as BECH_KEPCHA, FLIR-4-LIFE, Jeffamb0 and a few others. FLIR-4-LIFE is actually banned because he decided to start cheating, BECH I just unbanned after we cleared up the mix up and Jeff had to create a new account under Jeffamb or something similar.
