DOI-Suggestion DOI 2, keep it Commando official or custom? + suggestions

[Sisje]

Alright peeps, making this topic to see what you all think about our 2nd DOI server, Coop Commando

Please vote in the poll if you prefer to keep it Coop Commando or if you like to see it changed to a custom server, also if you would like to see a custom server let us know anything you might want to see, so we can check it out. Slot amount, maps and so on

I personally like to see it change to custom due to the fact that the amount of maps is limited on official servers and it will get boring real quick, the only downside would be not to get ranking points but that's why we still have server #1

Let's make a very awesome server out of DOI #2!

Custom fo life. Let's get some of the new stuff on there to change things up.

This is a re-post from the suggestions topic I posted yesterday. Hopefully this will help everyone to give insight on to vote for custom server.

 

A custom server which gives the ability to vote for coop custom maps, will not only make  the game interesting but adds more challenges and new tactical approaches to your targets.

 

I saw a post from GoogalaJones on the edition of adding custom maps into the game and there were talks by other members on this matter therefore it is definitely a topic worth discussing.  If you look at https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=447820&searchtext=&childpublishedfileid=0&browsesort=trend&section=readytouseitems&requiredtags[]=Stronghold&requiredtags[]=Entrenchment 
this alone will give twice the amount of maps available to the vanilla edition of the game.

Not only will this give the players new challenges and something new to look forward to, but it also showcases the artistic merits of the community who took the time and effort to build these maps (which in turn reflects on the passion these individuals have for this game). 

 

I personally think this is good for the server itself, because people who aren't members of F/A have said that this is an amazing server to be on. To me I would like them to give more reasons to stay on longer or be more active on our servers than other servers. For instance imagine they also find out that F/A is not only known for its community but for more content for the game that other servers do not offer (in this case it's new maps). We might as well change the name of the game from "day of infamy" to "world of infamy" coz this will definitely expand the game's community and the DOI universe.

I like commando. It seems I'm on an island on this one >.> Has anyone considered keeping the bots difficulty higher on the custom server if it gets changed?

I am one of the few who voted commando (Team Pabbat) , sole reason being that we will be losing a ranked server. We don't have to keep it commando, I think we could just tweak the current settings. I think we would benefit from having a recruiting and hardcore server, but ranked. I think that a custom would be better off as server 4, if that is at all attainable. I think 2 ranked gives options for a harder challenge and incorporating teamwork. In my experience i see 3 members on once in a while, and usually 1-5 regulars or randoms every-other night im online. We can still look at Cvars to manipulate the current AI and work out the kinks that players are experiencing.

That being said; for the status quo:

What i would love to see is select entrenchment or stronghold maps, with commonwealth and us SWAPPED.

Imagine dog red as the canadians and british flowing onto the beaches? juno beach FTW boys and girls.
What about using a BAR to hold the bridge at Commachio?

At the same time i agree that there are good custom maps we can throw into the mix as well. its kind of interesting to play the born to kill mod maps as commonwealth. There is a new foliage-heavy map this week that looks really nice.

 

These things could A: Set us out from the crowd, and B: Give us a new, unique experience on familiar territory.

 

Not everyone will remember this, but one of the original theatres had ortona entrenchment. We gotta bring that back.

Whilst both are choices I would want on a single server, leniency goes toward a Custom server. More maps and mod madness!

[Jack Mehoff]

Would we still get level ups if we did a custom server?

[redfromsvn]

Unfortunately not

for level up u can play on server 1 

[RedAngel]

Custom would be good, it sometimes get repetitive on #1 server, 

[Dycantos]

I prefer custom

[ViP3r*]

I played on a custom server (not our ) and what i have to say?
Damn, what a nice game. The sounds... holymoly . More weapons,maps and other stuff.

I want custom server

[Sisje]

Looks like we will be switching to custom, let us know what maps/weapons/... you want to see. I personally think we should have everything figured out before we switch to custom so it will stay commando for a while now. If it turns out it's not a great idea, we can also switch back to commando or any other setup you guys would like.
Also if you can think of a lovely name for the server, feel free to share, if there are multiple ones we can have a vote for that as well

[Mr.Karizmatic]

1. =F|A= BATTLE ZONE Commando or just =F|A= BATTLEZONE

2. =F|A= KILLZONE

3. =F|A= Custom Coop Commando
