Hopefully the days of a full US server at all times of the day will come back again. Back then you guys had a solid following that would join up as soon as they saw 1 person in the server, knowing that it would fill quickly. Its gonna take a lot of work but I have faith that Damit can put together a good crew to keep the server alive. That is as long as he doesn't decide to build another house or break the arm of one of his fellow admins.

Yea dice really screwed up with the rental system so far, the 20 players plus the fact that HC sets the server to custom (meaning you don't benefit from quick play) really hurts. Hardcore has such a loyal player base that I just don't know what dice was thinking. Hopefully they fix it soon and maybe even come out with a classic preset.

My favorite admin is back!

That is sort of an odd thing to say, why would there be more hackers on the normal server compared to the hardcore server? They were administrated by the same great admins and honestly you could make a case that it was easier to spot and ban hackers on the normal server vs the hardcore server with the help of killcams and such. Also an odd thing to say, I can understand not liking normal and refusing to play there but why would you be thankful that one of your clans more popular servers died?

Yep US server has generally always been normal mode.

Whats wrong with it? I thought it was a more realistic and balanced version compared to BF4's. You cant run and gun, you really have to think before you engage and make sure you know what the enemy looks like.

Yea it definitely seems very bare bones, and no kick/ban feature yet, though Braddock states it is coming. Knowing dice though that's gonna take another two months. Still Its a place to call home, which just might be worth it for some clans. Also and this is probably the deal breaker or at least makes most servers impossible to start, if the server is configured for 64 players, a round will not start until at least 20 people are in the server. Most people wont wait that long for people to join. We've already stated about 4 weeks ago that kick/ban is something the Dev team are working to bring in after launch. -Braddock512

Also Rent a server is planned to launch today. They'll be available to rent shortly. Just ensuring the game update is solid. Will announce when I get confirmation from DICE that RSP (rental server program) is live. It is scheduled for today. -Braddock

What Im wondering is since it states "bullet damage" I wonder if TTK will only go down vs guns and you will still take the standard amount of damage when it comes to explosions, fire, gas, and fall damage. That might actually make HC more enjoyable for me. Overall Im still a classic guy.

A few more things about Hardcore mode for BF1 that I thought might be of interest to you hardcore fans. http://wccftech.com/battlefield-1-classic-mode-come-future-hardcore-gets-additional-details/ If your too lazy to read then Ill list the main points Hardcore is coming sooner then you think. Instead of 60% health like BF4, the damage model is closer to 100% health and 200% bullet damage. Possible compass instead of minimap. Classic mode is confirmed but no ETA

All you need is the standard for now, the upgrades just have some skins that look nice but no real benefits.

Im not sure if your mistaking me for someone else but Ive never been in a clan and I never stopped playing on XI servers, just stopped playing BF. I still played with XI people on other games such as GTAV but its been a while. I don't have a clan or ever have joined a clan/community and pretty much my "group of friends" are part of all sorts of different communities such as AOD, XI, DVI, DVNT, BZ, JRKS and plenty of others that I cant think of. You are right on one thing and that's the fact that Im hoping XI gets a server that I will enjoy, mostly because it has proper server admins. So please don't group me together with whoever you have a grudge against, its disrespectful.

Figured I would give a quick update. How much will it cost? PC 1 day: $2.99 7 days: $11.99 30 days: $42.99 90 days: $99.99 180 days: $149.99 What types of features can I expect? Among many other settings, players renting servers will be able to adjust: ticket count bullet damage modes weapons maps When will the Rental Server Program Launch? We’re excited to bring RSP to Battlefield 1 this November. What types of features can I expect? Note: One of the top requested features if the Kick/Ban feature. We hear you and are working on rolling that out after the launch of the RSP.

bf1 moderators are collecting a list of questions in this thread, so hopefully we will get the answers soon.

I will get it, I love the weapons, no helis, and the destruction. Also I nominate damit for admin of the US server, he really did a great job with the BF4 release.
