BF2S Forums Infantry maps: Karkand, Sharqi, Warlord, Ghost Town, etc on 1 server!

just read the description on the server menu before you join the server.  If you have both then you have an option to play maps from both BF2 and SF in 1 server.  Not hard to mod in a patch.  Those that don't have it and don't read the description before you join the server will simply lose connection.  This is not rocket science people!

At the same time, kick out players that don't have SF??? Ludicrous.

Thats what their gonna do with euro. There will not be another "game" so servers can run both if they want, unlike with SF and regular BF. So if you playing strike, and the level changes to a euro, you will be booted out.

why dont u jsut mae a SF mod and bring all maps into that?

ive played sf for 4 hours since it came out , cuz i cant be arsed to come of server's with kark and shaqi to change ,i am plain lazy .

No being lazy is not the point...
-everyone doesn't have 2 gigs of ram some have 756Megs other 1 gig.  When you actually exit out of BF2 to enter SF some have to do it manually.  They don't dare let BF2 do it for them because of the length of time it takes to actually exit out of BF2 once you are at the desktop.  A lot of people have reported hearing the BF2 theme once they are at desktop for some time.  This length of time to exit properly out of BF2 just to enter SF can and will cause problems.  For exmple by the time you enter SF2 the server is either full or no longer showing up in your server menu

-as I stated before, it makes no sense to have 2 of the same game just to play a different set of maps.  There is no difference in game play and there are no special forces missions.  It's the same cap flag and move on.

I wish people would quit using "I don't have enough RAM" as an excuse not to do someting.

I have 512 MB of RAM and I have no trouble at all playing BF2 or SF

Just leave the SF disk in.  It can run BF2 and SF. (I'm sure some lurker out there didn't already know that)

I'm not certain but I believe that 512 MB is the minimum

So lets break this down:
-start BF2, put in user name, password
-go to Server Menu
-update server menu
-select servers with the lowest ping
-find server you want but realize you want to play Warlord instead
-exit out of BF2
-Go to desktop and wait for BF2 to unload from memory
-Start SF
-go to Server Menu
-update server
-select server you were looking for in BF2 for find another Warlord Server


This can take between 3 minutes to 10 minutes depending on system setup and thats if you find that server again.



Oh give me a break!! Come one people Vote!!!

This is important stuff here...

All infantry only maps should be on 1 server.  That way we can choose servers that have only infantry maps instead of maps we don't want to play.  Finding new servers is tedious and in most cases you don't want to be bothered.

Infantry only severs (If ranked) break the ROE;

§1.5 Server administrators may not explicitly or implicitly (by actions) enforce restrictions on vehicles or weapons that players can use while on your server (e.g. knives only, aircraft prohibited except for clan members, etc.)

    * § Infantry only Servers

Umm, for starters, SF is a very different game, a very big mod if you will.
I agree, it would be nice to have all of the popular maps available on one server

It takes less than 20 seconds to switch to SF by going to communities and switching to the mod, this is on my AVERAGE machine, which has:  A64 3500+, 1 gig of RAM, 6600GT.

If your machine is not up to scratch then whose fault is that?
You probably want a single gaming PC standard, one that would never change, but that would be stupid, fuck progress just so they don't have to upgrade, it just takes a well chosen system to make upgrading inexpensive.
Screw it, there is a single gaming PC standard, buy yourself a 386 with 1 MB of RAM and play DOOM on high video settings.

as far as the votes you want.  I am for the Vannila/SF hybrid server idea.  (and the SF unlocks in SF idea)

I will admit that I want more RAM...But aside from the annoying "verifying client data" (ITS DONE LOADING!!! JUST LET ME PLAY NOW!!) I have no trouble once the game begins.

And a tip for anyone who has trouble finding a sever once they stumbled upon it in the sever browser...write down the server's IP.
