7th cav had some great games
- Thread starter Mickg
- Start date
For a public server it has some good teamwork/players lots of in game voice chat working towards objectives. Now that its 50 players I actually keep a steady 50-70 fps which is really nice.
I'll grant you that, limz, after having posted very critical things in the other threads about what you said, I'll try give it a positive twist.
You have a good point in the above quote. But I challenge your imagination: how much better and more fun would it be if everyone used voip to communicate properly?! (=squadmembers use only squad channel, squadleaders and commander use teamchat to coordinate the squads)
I have played games only like that since the release of BF2, trough the lifespan of the PR mod. It is very hard and disappointing at times to go back to voipless play. To me it just feels like random chaos. Luckily more and more people are speaking up, literally.
*Oh and TWI, please balance Yurizle, he is so imba!

It's the only server I join now.
Yes, great communication there.
No DON'T GO BACK TO 64 !!!
I loved the server from the start, from the browser I see 40pin in game between 60 and 80 but as soon as we touched 56 players + the pings skyrocketed to 200+ for everyone... It was horrible.
Hands down the best eastern us/can server for me.
(I just hope there will be additional threading optimization done for client and server that will aid overall performance)...
Besides that, computer hardware gets faster and faster... Well... damn it... I think it's slowing down a little now.
Sandy bridge takes the cake, AMD bulldoser is presently poor next to the good old Phenoms... lack of competition never help.

Yeah, that "ManOFtheFuture" guy = certified lunatic on some serious narcotics. He's got issues and I seriously hope he's seeking professional help.....
On another note, @=7Cav=OIFVET101 and the other folks running such servers (and maybe TWI should enable this as a server-side option if it's not already??):
Servers should be able to make exceptions to the TK kick-ban for Commander artillery strikes!
Most of you who've played with me know that I tend to be quite communicative (and yes, we rarely lose as Allies...I've actually never played a full round as german and have a 3:1 match win:loss ratio; so Russian nay-sayers be gone...but I digress).
so it's VERY annoying that I can only play as commander on these realism servers for an average of 2 to 3 matches before being kick-banned from the match until map reset. Normally, this happens near the end of matches.
The Reason: despite warning, fools still run blissfully into arty, get killed, and then most do not "NP" me.
Example: last night, heavy enemy in left Alpha Obj in RedOctFact -- so i pounded it with arty -- normally, lotsa friendlies head left (and no one ever tries to capture right side), so I gave 3 notices to ignore west A and push east A bc arty is inbound....of course, 5 people get killed in one barrage and I get kick-banned from the server for ~40min.
I've talked with a lot of 7Cav folks about it...but what can you do if people don't NP you and you can't set role-specific TK limits......
PS, yeah yurizle you really missed out on that nutjob...he was maniacal.

I actualy saw that you were on but I was doing quizes online for points for free stuff for retail edge and I was on fire so I didnt want to stop. Though we didn't play last night together I was glad to see you're still on the game. I've come up with some efficient tactics, mainly on Grain Elevator with grenades which seem to work wonder that I'd like to share with you next time we are both on and playing that map.

Yes for Commander roles it should eather be gone to set to a very high number becuase like Johnny says it does suck and losing a competent Commander on a winning side is very rough. Alot of times it would also happen in the very beginning of a match as well.
Having 50 man server is great and for me, I mildly experience a boost in lag and performance because it still does lag but hovering around 20-23 people is sometimes weird as there are generaly not enough reinforcement tickets to capture and hold. Alot of times on map change and a new round we would be sitting at 10v10. When players see more people on they join, 10v10 and 20v20 is not a crowd pleaser.
I recommended 1st to bring Fallen Fighters back (I dont even know why its not in the rotation to begin with) and start adding +2 slots to server to see how it works with lag and go from there.
Us Allies lost pretty badly on Apartment 2 days ago, like really badly, like unforgetable loss at that. But nothing as good as our 2,2:30 match on Fallen Fighters on 2fg remember Johnny? That was by far one of the best tactical works ever by Allies.
Lims pretty much hit it on the money with his post where he said the only people that play now are pretty much RO2, for the lack of a better work vets.

Yeah -best round ever- Allies took Fallen Fighters against a moderately competent German team in less than three minutes total...game, set, match suckas.
Agreed, 7Cav should add back Fallen Fighters BUT follow 2Fjg and only make it a single-round match...bc it's either over quickly or it goes on forever as a snipe-fest depending on the players........
Too all folks interested in team comms, I have a thread in the Tactics section and created a PDF guide for effective voice comms (attached again here)...some found it useful.

Yup, its about the only pub server that consistanly has a good number of guys cooperationg on the mic. The change to 50 player also helped a lot with lag issues.
Haha yea. heres his steam profile: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198048229236
looks like he changed his name to 'spacebaby' after what happened on the 7th calv server lol.
judging from this he changes his name every other day. what a troll.

I really hope somebody recorded that. That would be a legendary RO2 video.

LOL, I think I played in that match or at least a similar one. Matches before and after it were fairly balanced, but allies took D and E pretty fast and some ally came over the mic near the end laughing about how we were winning, but he hadn't died or killed a single german.
