List looks good.  I'm excited about actually logging some real time on those maps.

Per IO vs vehicles -- do we have the option of changing that setting mid-evening?  Maybe switch from IO to vehicles every other map or when an (upper?)admin is able to flip the switch?  Personally, I see value in both types of rounds (new/different SF vehicles; great squadwork w/ IO).  How's that for indecision ;) !

It's certainly possible, don.
The main drawback is the server has to reboot to remove or add vehicles, thereby disconnecting all players, so we will need all players on board with it, so they rejoin.

Gsxr, g.o.d. and I are the CC admins that can do it, but as I've said before, CC is very sketchy and anyone not used to its tendencies could easily foul up the server!

When I am in later today, I will certainly entertain the idea, I don't know if the others are willing to take the risk. 8)

Let's roll with just one way or the other. If anything lets try Inf only next, week as the rotation for SF.

My copy of SF comes in on Wed.
Someone needs to let me know who needs a copy?
Flea does Simmy need a hard copy of SF?   
Siren, Mistress?

Hit me up with a private addy, so I can reship this to someone who needs it.
Cost me $8 with S/h.

Map addition suggestions:
 a) Warlord 64
 b) Ghost town 64

My 2cents would be to keep the 32 player maps in the rotation, and let admins skip over the larger maps appropriately for server pop.  The maps listed above are _good_ maps, that warrant the full exploration.  I'm not familiar enough with the other maps to comment.  It has been interesting to explore them.

that's an idea.

some of those might be a bit big for our normal population, though.

we also considered going infy only for SF night, any thoughts on that?

Post by: Q-IC_H2O on November 26, 2013, 06:19:55 PM

I own Special forces but have been unable to get it to install. Get this stupid MD5 error. Disks aren't scratched. Turned off Anti-virus, etc.

Any ideas?

yeah, like we talked about in game, you are probably in the same boat as Simmy.

you need to re-install BF2, then SF, then 1.4 and 1.5 patches.
SF is essentially 1.1 patch, and won't like being installed on top of newer patches.

i've heard many requests to try Infy only Special Forces, so I say we give it a try.
I'll pick through the maps, and change it over for this Wed.

Still waiting

Good choice Brandon, I have never liked Iron Gator with vehicles but it's a good infantry map. Also if you're thinking about adding more maps to the rotation, Mass Destruction would be good, but I get that you don't want to add maps that take 10 minutes to run across, would be good if you could add a night map too, Night Flight is the only one that isn't too big for infantry I think. Just a couple of suggestions.

Yea agreed. I like the rotation you have picked already anyway, but I think adding Night Flight 16 would be good aswell

 :flipoff:

don't know if you're serious but if you put a poll up I'd vote yes to add it, I like zatar, would be better without jets but still a good map imo and it would maybe attract more players since no other servers i know of have it in their rotation anymore
Title: Re: Special Forces Wednesdays (updated 1-15-2014)
Post by: ZJbrandon on April 08, 2014, 01:11:47 PM
anyone should be able to make a poll for that in the other thread. go right ahead.

it will get confusing if we keep this up, this thead is for Special Forces, bitches! :flipoff:

you should do a poll to see if people want to add night flight 16 or devils perch 16, or both, or just leave it how it is

all 3 of the Armored Fury maps are in Regular days, and 2 of them are also on Infy only.
