Wanna be on a MOB Action Squad?, Replacing/reviving dead servers Options

[Genocide Junkie]

I'm all for the Toujane 24/7. Maybe even a Toujane/Matmata 24/7. There are tons of Carentan servers already but I can't think of one good Toujane 24/7 server. If I could I'd probably live on it.

Agreed. No sense duplicating what's already out there. There are no good Toujane 24/7 servers anymore.

[oNe]

how bout toujane / matmata / burgundy? so i can lose 2 against blk and junkie then kick their butts in burgundy?

I have an Idea for both German front and the Frontline servers. why not simply combine the two into one. have a German Front : Frontline server? cut two into one? and perhaps rotate some maps on it. Just a thought.

BTW,
don't we have a {MOB} Rifle range? No one goes on that either....

Let's see, reckon I should reply to a couple of questions/suggestions -- can't do BAS in COD2 for a whole lot of reasons. Could do a MOHAA gun mod for COD2, but I'd like to be talked into thinking it would fill-up a server and keep it full. Yes, we could make a uo server as nearly exactly like one of the CUF servers as we wanted to, and no it's not stealing (do you mean their large maps BAS, small maps BAS, or customized TDM server? You do know they use some modern weapons in their servers, yes?). As for the suggestions about putting planes on Barbarossa, I'm not sure it's possible but if it is, it would mean a modding of the Barb map to put the planes in, which would take a lot of time and work, plus Barb needs the azh vehicle mod but the planes don't typically work with it (they need the platinum war mod), so that would have to be modded to make it work..... you tell me if you think such a Barbarossa mod would make and keep a full server?

To summarize server suggestions, based on what is here and what I got in pms -- A server that would be a big hit, get full and stay full, and you would play it or camp it exclusively everytime you sat down at your computer:

For CODUO - Go back to the way we first did the Frontline server, with GFM on it and add a bunch of other popular maps, some stock some custom to it (suggestions were Kursk, Barb, Ponyri, Vitebks, GunAssault, AxFoyNight, Dragoon, Frontline). Emphasis on great weapons sounds and lots of blood spatter.

and/or

Pretty much copy one of the CUF servers. (You tell me which one you meant).

For COD2 - Leave all COD2 servers as-is and make a new one (OMM, you do realize this means not only spawning a new server, but making a new instance of stats generation in all varieties and modifying the webpages to show the stats and the new server?? Are you sure you don't want to simply replace one of the empty servers??). It should be a rifles-only running Toujane/Matmata and possibly Carentan. It should have voting option turned on to make it CTF with choice of all stock maps.

As for putting up a CSS server, I used to play CSS and still have it. I don't know anything about putting up a CSS server, but I can't think it would be that hard. One thing I don't know is if those big numbers of CSS players include server-bots, anyone know?

Did I miss anything, or does that summarize it pretty well?

OMM, do you think we should schedule a meeting in vent for all interested to discuss/decide on the servers? Or just do a bit more forums chatter and then go for it?

Good summary.

I'm not sure about keeping COD2 Mix Maps as it stands since it is the only COD2 server that anyone would call dead. It might be the one we convert to a rifles only Toujane/Carentan with optional access to the some of the custom maps.

Any mod to Barbarossa should not be done without a vote and agreement by Scrapyard Bob. That server is a MOB original and it is just too popular to start changing without careful consderation. I would personally recommend that we don't touch it.

Let's just split up the efforts for this server "refreshing". Steel and TA6pak to determine the pulse of the UO folks and I'll work with the COD2 folks. Steel will make the recommended changes to UO and I will make the recommended changes to COD2.

Everyone OK with that?

Hi All,



Counterstrike? Man I haven't played that in 5 years, might be cool to get one of those going. I wouldn't mind seeing a CTF server for UO something like what FKR has going but without their mods maybe modern weapons? BAS modern weapons would also be cool. Might also be nice to have a BAS server that rotated some non-stock maps.



Just a brain dump.

I would love a Carentan 24/7.
I also woudn't mind that railyard map, or is it called Depot? The one with the tank warehouse.

I would also enjoy a Kursk 24/7 with the Plane Mod. And I like the map that CuF League has with the tunnels that are full of water.

To be honest, I liked the German front boards.I liked the options when it came to being a player, I thought that was really kind of a neat trick, so-to-speak. I'd help revive them if anyone else was interested.

Thats a good idea I think! Like I said a few seconds ago, I'd play this board alot if we could get just a few people to play it regularly....

With the Frontline Server why not just add some maps to it.

1.kharkov_bas_beta

2.smolenskF

3.mp_ex_nihilo_uk

4.mp_uo_ardennes1944

5.vitebsk_F



Why not these maps?

These maps are very good BAS maps.

kharkov, smolensk and ardennes 44 r indeed good maps, and I think that if there was a rotation of these maps, it would attract players. Barbarossa and tuchola were great sucesses cause barb was like the oldest of them all, and tuchola was at the begining always populated by MOB'ers, beacsue it was scrapyardbob who did it and ppl were checking it out, and soon more ppl came and stayed, despite fewer mobsters being there... so if a similar approach was made to these maps(or map) would be worthwile. I loved smolensk, but there were not always full because there needs to be like 5 ppl to make others come, I remember, on weekends whern MOB'sters and reugrals came, and barbarossa was full, they came there and soon more ppl came and it was packed on the weekends, but during the week, mabye like 3 ppl tops. I guess it would need advertising, like I first came to tuchola after seeing console in barb say "see our very own scrapyardbob's map - tuchola", probably otherwise I would not even go there... so these would need something like that, advertisemnt.



And it could be done that its a roation or mabye like everyday a diffrent map, like when smolensk was conquest on tuesdays and saturdays or something. mix it up and stuff.



And one last suggestion... or question is there a place on mobclan.com sie to get the maps to download, cause my friend wanted to play but he said it take a long time to download via callofduty, but he could do it if there it was somewhere on website, like during the night... I think that would let ppl download maps and play, cause on barb and tuchola i see everyday



so-and-so disconnected

download disconnected...



mabye the map obtaination itslef is a problem.

Outstanding idea! To be honest, and not to slag any other clans or servers, I'd much rather play MOB boards, and the addition of these along with the german front mods, would keep me here all the time.

I have been meaning to float some $$ MOB's way, and I think I can safely say I'd do it all the time if this was the case.

[Assault trooperPolska]

I was pondering about it, and came to the conclusion that perhaps another barbarossa server would do it, just like in the old days, it would be with not time limit, or perhaps 2 hours or something, because then ppl would not leave after a game ands(since it might take some time) and more ppl would join, and soon people would get used to that server, and then things could be done to it, like new maps and stuff... because that's what happend to tuchola, and look at it today, always some ppl playing, and often full to capacity...

well I am

maybe some of the regs as well as Mob clan members could get the gfm thing going because it really is the best format out there.....reasons? here are a few

1 classes....very cool
2.new weapons and tanks
3.not as much zoom when you bring up the iron sights

too bad no one plays on it because the only gfm servers out there are too far away and my ping is bogus

love the Rip
