Hey all. As a long time player of BF2 I've always wanted to one day run my own server. I've been in clans and played on clan servers before but I have never had admin rights and I'm dying to be in control of a server, atleast for a few months to see how I like it. I know that BF2 is perhaps not quite as popular as some of the newer games out/coming out but I don't believe for a second that it is dead or near dying based on the many, many hardcore players out there and the many servers that are full on a daily basis.
So, I was wondering if anyone could plz recommend to me a good company to rent a ranked server through. I've looked at a few different companies and some are alot more $$ than others. Since I'd be the only one paying for it and I certainly don't have a ton of money, I was thinking of a 32 man server that was ranked and probably skip all the options (atleast at first) like voip etc. How cheap can i get a 32 man server for, anyone know?
Im aware that the main issue would be getting enough players onto the server to justify running it. I also know that most players have a select grp of 3 or 4 servers that they exclusively play on (myself included) and that most successful servers tend to by 24/7 (insert map name here) servers.
I've been thinking of starting up either a Euro force server or a SF server... though perhaps an all air or all (whatever) server. Nothing is for sure clearly so I am just wondering if anyone can price a good company to go through or has experience/recommendations on this sort of thing. Thanks
