Adding map packs is double - edged weapon..


Majority of players just doesn't have them... (I am not speaking for myself now i have all of them :)


Maybe you can try to switch to map packs and you will see.. I know that one of more popular servers around (ugn) added map packs but they were forced to switch back because not many ppl played there...



Anyway, it all depends on how many regulars will play there if you use map packs.. More regulars playing = Generally more people are joining the server, etc...

I think RAGE server has so many regulars that you can afford map-pack-tryout :-)

One more thing.. I have only one server with all three map packs in bookmarks (don't know its name but gringo has that one too )

And they are permanently full !

i'm assuming (as and admin) you can choose to play the packs sometimes and not others?

Yes ofcourse you can do that ..

But in extrem case, people just say "Oh look at these guys, they switched to map packs.. Oh i will never go to that server again.. "

I hope they will not :-)

fair enough. staying one way or the other will get more people in the door. The reason I first came on the server was the name and I stayed as it was run fairly and the rules were sound. Whether we have the maps or not wont change that.... should we do some kind of vote?

Does this forum's code support voting ? :-P

To many questions. I've gone back to my original plan to wait till after release and decide then. if it's no good but people leave blops i'll just go back to cod4 :) I always did think one of cod's best sniper rifiles was the M40A3 only bested by cod2's Mosin

I'm a puppet and will run to MW3 like a lost child to a (possibly drunk) mother.

Activision have made their decision and that's that. Nothing to stop third party companies hosting the server though (?) and we can choose someone other than Gameservers this time.
There is no way we are going to be able to host a server ourselves as I'm sure none of us has a 100Mb/s down 10Mb/s up connection with a hefty quadcore and SSD attached 24/7 (or if you do, then lend me some money for a 240GB Vertex 3 please).

But honestly, this is shit. A special kind of shit - more noxious than I could have believed. Unranked self-hosted servers with 'full control' given to those bastards who gave us Nuketown 24/7 fast XP and the hacked AlterIWnet listen servers which changed users ranks and settings without permission. Nice one Activision.

I like playing the vanilla game. I don't want to be presented with a list of self-hosted shitty servers running of a 3Mb/s ADSL connection in Stockholm with some vicious retard booting me off because I kill him or use a weapon that he or she finds objectionable (as I read this back, I realise the possible hypocrisy and irony here mind you eeEEK but you know what I mean. Our server has relatively few rules and they are generally consensual)
I think we can ALL imagine what is going to happen here folks right?

"24/7 Crouch and Boltorama" YAY!!! What fun!

"Where's the real game?"

Back in the lobbies.

Hmm gringo. interesting opinion...

I understand you.. But even we have a lot of servers with different kind of rules it is not so hard to find a server that suits you, is it ?

At the moment, only server i play in ( except one with map packs which i visit very seldom ) is RAGE server. I know that well known people play there often...

Let's compare this to 'A HOME'.. You know that when you get home, you will find there familiar people, you enjoy time with them.... Same thing is a 'FAMILIAR SERVER'..

I am so tired of anonymous lobbies, full of hatred.. Full of ignorance and lack of order & behaviour.. So tired that i don't know if i really want to buy mw3..

Until today's morning i was deeply confident that i will buy mw3...

Not anymore.. I am not saying i wont buy it but my belief in that game (and activision ) just crashed badly..
