server question

[CoCoCountyKiller]

when there is a full server 32 on 32 and the map ends
why would the server go to squad death match
16 vs 16 and kick the other 32 players??

kinda harsh for the people that get kicked

but on a positive note ..... server was runing good and full

You bring up a good point...I like that it keeps it mixed up but hate that it would kick people.  So I don't know whether we pull out the squad deathmatch or we leave it in to keep it mixed up.  I would like to get feedback from EVERYBODY on this!

I agree.  When we have a full server, half of them get kicked and it's takes a while for it to repopulate.  It was a good idea (me, commander, whippet, and some pub won by over 30 kills), but I think it causes more harm than good.

I haven't been on much lately...sooooo busy with work but I would agree that it's cool the game modes switch up but definitely a little rude we give the boot to 32 guests.  I'm curious - when that happens do the BPN members get reserved slots or does the game randomly select who gets booted?

Is there a limitation to players with squad death match enabled?  Can't we just change it to 32 on 32?

I do think that the squad is only 16 v 16

Uhh, both of the above posts are a bit off.  Squad deathmatch is 8v8 or 16 players total, the other modes are 16v16 or 32 players total. So when it changes from say Rush to Squad Deathmatch it doesn't kick 32 players but it does kick 16 of them because there are only 16 available slots for that gametype unfortunately.  I have no idea how it picks who it kicks, I would say the first in are first served.

But I think you're right, it's really bad when 16 players are kicked from the server all at once.

Alright, I changed it back to rotate between conquest and rush, took squad deathmatch out because it was kicking a bunch of people.
