Multi Battlefield Private servers

[Hondavee4]

I guess at some point EA will raid our pockets for more £££ and reintroduce private servers but hypothetically speaking let's say we have one here and for some bizarre reason there is a 8 limit cap on maps

Which ones would you choose?

• Altai Range

• Caspian Border

• Dawnbreaker
• Dragon Pass

• Flood Zone

• Golmud Railway
• Guilin Peaks
• Gulf of Oman

• Hainan Resort

• Lancang Dam
• Lost Island

• Nansha Strike

• Operation Firestorm
• Operation Locker
• Operation Mortar

• Operation Métro

• Paracel Storm

• Rogue Transmission

• Siege of Shanghai
• Silk Road

• Wave Breaker
• Zavod 311

Obviously some of the above havnt actually been released yet so please ignore them

Actually that was a lot tougher than I thought

No way would I choose Operation Metro on a private server. It's ridiculous to play with 64 players and very unbalanced. That and Operation Locker are my least favourite maps.

I've yet to decide on which are my favourite maps as I've only been playing Battlefield for 3 weeks. I can pretty much say that we won't be getting a private SNR server. We did that for BF3 for 9 months which wasn't cheap and at the end of the day we didn't feel it was worth it.

I was kinda hoping they would be a lot cheaper this time around as we are already paying for online play, maybe not then and wishfull thinking

Back to metro, I've had a few games today and I am starting to gel with it, I saw what looked like 8-10 enemy's pour out of both lifts together and almost over ran us

Like I said last night the pc version had 64 players in bf3 and didn't have the extra passages and lifts we now enjoy,

64 players on Metro Is just horrible, Its pretty much just 32 people at each end of a room spamming grenades, It's lost the ebb and flow of BF3.

Being a private server couldn't you limit the number of players?
Can't choose my fav 8 as the brain has already shut down for the day but I do enjoy Metro and Locker as it goes balls out for a bit to spice things up between the bigger maps.

 

[Hondavee4]

From memory, yes you can limit the numbers, I honestly think the longer we play metro the more we suss it out and then more enjoyable it will become
I just gotta learn how to kill someone

I think Metro is a load of balls on 64 players, it's just too clustered and no real chance of someone sneaking through to break it up from the central point (although I saw this happen somehow)

The private servers will introduce a whole new level of retardism to the game, as it did with BF3 you're gonna get a x5 multiplier on tickets so that people can rank up and get those ribbons that are harder to obtain.

I'd hope that at that point DICE would introduce a better range of official servers that actually cater for all game modes, would be nice to be able to play Conquest with 32 players. It would also be nice to play servers that cross game modes.

What would be really awesome, and therefore won't happen, is if DICE made servers that cater for "Premium" players...not to lock out non-premium members (although you just know that's the way it would go down) but to have a variety of maps and modes from all the DLC, since they can guarantee all premium members can access them...limited to 32 players due to the game modes too, that would work well and you could always drop onto a 64 player Conquest server if you wanted to play the busier maps.
