It kind of sucks to have all these other servers filled with players, 24/7 Awards

Most evenings seem to be ok but days are dead. It is an old game but there is still a loyal following and a number of other COD2 servers are running at capacity, so we need to look at what we're doing and figure out why people aren't playing our servers as much as theirs. As I type this, there are almost 900 active COD2 servers and only 45 of them have 2 or more players. Our server at this moment has 4 people on it, and there are 40 servers more active than ours with between 6 and 62 players. What are we doing wrong and what are they doing right? Lately when there has been nobody on our servers I've gone to the master list and tried to play on some other servers. Most of them I can't stand because of the mods, but one in particular has some great maps and mods that are very similar to ours and there are always 20+ players on 24/7. They have a large rotation and mix up the game types, so one map will be TDM, the next CTF, then CTFB, and so on. They also use the gunship, helicopter and sentry gun, but unlike ours the cost is much higher and buying one of them can clean you out. Very few of their maps are straight DM and the people who use that server seem to like it that way. The thing I don't like about their server is that nobody talks at all, so there is no chat during TDM and that makes the games more challenging. They also stay on top of hackers and boot them almost immediately. Yes we've had a lot of bans in the last year, but so have all of the clans. For whatever reason the number of hackers has increased lately and everybody is seeing more of them. I like what we have on our servers but the minimal rotation with only a few players at any given time is getting old, and obviously others feel the same way because traffic is low. We need to figure out some way to increase traffic or I'm afraid we won't be around much longer. It's the only game I play and if it goes away that will be the end of my gaming career. window, NickTheGrip, Sgt Alvin York and 1 other 4 Awards

We had a mix of big, medium and small maps, as well as shooties and snipers. For a while there was a safe guard in it to prevent the same map being the rotation and getting "overused" by a few. Now when I play its 2,3, 4 players in these huge maps, which is a bit discouraging. I agree with much of what dawgy and LOM stated in their posts. There seems to be a lack of Mayhem here. I play other servers that have great participation with lots of Mayhem the we no longer have. No knocking what we have, just sayin' it's time to look at things again as an attempt at a revival so to speak. little_old_man 1

Part of what makes it so boring is trying to find 3 or 4 opponents on a huge map. Put wawa and world cup back in the rotation on both servers, and consider finding a few more small ones. There is one that's on another clan's server called box fight they use for CTF, but it's a great map and would be a really good addition to both of our servers.

Something can be an excellent game... in this case arguably much better than BF4... but often people will only play the newer one simply for that reason. Its newer. Doesnt help that the companies push this, as business is supposed to, but too many people ignore their better judgement and listen to them. Awards
