BPN Battlefield Bad Company 2 Server

[Schlup]

So I know I've been missing a lot lately (I'm starting up my own business) and that takes a lot of time up.  But between that and this being our 5 year anniversary of BPN, and since we can't host the server ourselves... I have gone ahead and pre-purchased a 24 slot BC2 server for us to use when the game is launched on March 2nd!  I picked up the first month since donations have been VERY slow the last couple of months but I'm hoping that they will start to pick up again once we have this new server up and running!  I'll do my best to have it configured properly and up and running as quickly as possible on launch day!  I'll be looking for feedback on how it is running as well as any config tweaks you think we should do.

Schlup who did you end up going with?

Gameservers...they were the cheapest by a longshot (Chicago datacenter).  I'm going to give them one more chance to show us a good server...if it sucks I will pull it and go with somebody else.  (Which is why I want all the members reporting on performance, lag spikes, etc.)

History: once upon a time we used gameservers and they would be good for a little while and then they would overload the server and everything would start lagging.  We switched between a few different data centers with them and always the same thing.  We've also used "seemeplayme" or something like that...they were just plain rock trash.  This is the whole reason why we went and rented and eventually bought a full entire dedicated server...so there would be optimum performance at all times.

awesome Schlup, and hopefully my little donation will help.

That will definitely help Sniper!  Everyone thank Sniper, he single handedly brought us to our goal for the month with the help of a couple existing donations this month.

If the server they have on the beta is any indication of how reliable the server will be when it goes live then you will probably be dissapointed. They only have 2 servers running for the beta and they started out fine but now are laggy when you play on them. I live really close to the servers and have only a 15 latency when i bring up the server select screen but when i get into the game on the server it lags horribly. Hopefully this is not the case when the game goes live and we start playing on our server that you rented.

[Schlup]

Yeah, surely they are getting feedback on that and are working on fixing it.

I am very hopefull that they will work out all the bugs
so we can enjoy the game to its fullest
