How can we improve the Vietnam server..

We would like to hear what you guys think? Are there certain maps you prefer with certain modes? Are there any changes you think would keep it busy once it's started? Is there any combo you think is emptying the server?

Vietnam Server Rotation:


Vantage Point .................Conquest
Coa Son Temple...............Rush
Phu Bai Valley.................Conquest
Hill 137.............................Rush
Phu Bai Valley...................Rush

Vantage Point - Problem with initial M-Com choke point; kill fest for defenders
Coa Son Temple - Three Flags with A & B on one side of the hand grenade choke point.
Hill 137 - Flags in A & B in open fields of fire; tunnel choke point and platform to shoot down into A; B and C on one side of choke point; sniper / gunboat fest.

Making it 24/7 Conquest will help, I know I've been in server while it's CQ and as soon as it switches to RUSH people start to leave.

I think it may be the switching game types also. Players seem to attract to servers running 1 type. We could try a week of conquest & then a week of rush to find out which works best.

Vantage point - Conquest
Hill - Rush
Phubai- Rush & Conquest
Cae Son - Rush

Quite a bit the same as what ive seen as well

(Disclaimer)
These are opinions based on my experiences and do not necessarily reflect my personal preferences...

Hill in Conquest mode. The public is pretty good about helping get a server they like started but, If the server ever lands on this map/mode in a server starting situation with few people on, the server never get's off the ground. Becomes a bore fest for the public as the flags are miles apart and the game starts to feel like team deathmatch.. For every 1 person that may join it, 2 to 3 leave. It has stifled the server on most occasions where there was less than at least 20 players on it. You also give up a good portion of such an epic map.

Cae-Son Temple in Conquest- Creates a major bottleneck where it has become a nade fest. Plays out much better in rush as there is more than one flashpoint, eliminating very difficult choke points that have brought the server to produce the message, "Please even teams, autobalancing will commence shortly" im sure you can guess the rest.


Phubai plays out well as either mode. But putting it in as both with only a four map rotation might be a bit much. That would be 4 rounds of the same map a four map rotation. Would prolly lean towards Conquest because the second objectives are so concentrated that between the tank and chopper can get lopsided in Rush mode.

Vantage Point.. I love that map in Conquest mode and havent seen any complaints or dropped players on that map in CQ mode.


Anyways.. Thanks Element and Bigtime! Keep em coming guys,we need to get a formula figured out soon. We usually have these trends figured out by now..

I personally prefer Conquest over Rush simply because it allows for a more tactical team approach as opposed to Run-n-Gun Rambo Rush. Our 24/7 CQ server is doing very well with the new map pack 7.

I agree with solli. I prefer those maps i those modes. i really hate Vantage point in rush mode.
