Game server providers should only allow one 2142 game on a 100mbit port with more then 32+
players. I have 36 2142 servers running from my data center in St Louis. Any more than 32 Players
and the players will see lag. Many game server providers, including MOST ALL of the well known ones
are overbooking their 100mbit ports.. Sadly, not even a 100mbit port dedicated can run a 64 player 2142
server very well.
I tried over 100 servers in the past 2 days from my 2.4gbit connection at the office, all of them were
40+ players, ALL of them had noticable lag. If your GSP is running 2 BF2142 servers on one box youre
getting overbooked. 2-16s ok. 2-20s ok... but 40 players is about it per box with this game.
I wont mention any names, but a couple pf the bigger Game Server Providers are absolutely the worst
in the business about overloading their boxes. I know one, in particular who tries to run 3 2142's and
if you join the servers he sells you will notice immediately.
Just be sure to demand no lag from your GSPs. EA once again is making them give freebie boxes so
theyre only trying to make up for it by cramming as much on one box as possible. I myself do not
rent less than 32 player servers. 1 game per box. Runs smooth. Otherwise, LAG
