ya. the thing we know is the packet loss is happening immediately on your local network. So we need to now determine why. I do this shit for a living, we should be able to resolve it.

Throttling the connection wouldn't account for the massive amount of packet loss you are getting. Its gonna be sometthing else. I hate to ask. But I assume you are not using wireless of any kind? edit: ooooh and as dumb as it sounds. replace the cat5/6 cables you are using. Believe it or not, cables do go bad.

I think B.A.T.L - Battlefield: Advanced Tactical Logistics is going to be the one. it explains everything we want straight by their definition.

The admin group has been talking about creating a monthly 'leader'. It will start tomorrow when we reset the gameme ladder scores. The ladder will be reset every month and whoever is left at the top will be deemed the monthly 'leader'. I believe I have tweaked the GameMe settings enough, that it will be fair for all regardless of the amount of time you put in. When a player reaches a certain score, it will be extremely difficult to keep it. (i hope, lol, this will be our first trial) Being the monthly leader provides some awesome benefits you just cant find anywhere else. And nothing short of the following: You get to call yourself the server leader People will bow down before your expertise You might feel better looking for the month You will feel like you actually have friends You will be given an honorable mention in the forums You will be given an honorable mention with an in game annoucement when you join the server You will be able to put up a plaque in your office. (you have to make it yourself) You get to enjoy a bunch of balloons. If someone buys them for you. Players accross the world will revel in being able to play with you as your name will be known throughout the world The Minecraft players will be forced in to slavery, to build you a statue displaying your awesomeness. Pretty cool huh?

Whats your average ping? Usually? 60-70? That's what I am getting when I tracert from my house to you. I'll switch my VPN to chicago and try again later. Looking at your trace, you are not going anywhere in the Eastern US. Your hops are from Wichita, back to Dallas (weird but ok) to Chicago. If this 10.245.192.1 is your cable modem or another router, that is where the issue lies. What router do you own?

Got the guys on the BattlefieldLFG subreddit to make us featured clan for the next 3 months. Please take the time to upvote it. Battlefield LFG I have already got a good 8 or 9 people to join our server from here, so this should help.

Ok. Well good news and bad news. The good news. Its not the server. These last two hops are both the main pipe line into Chicago (bbnet) and our game service providers, well, provider, Internap. You can see your packet loss mounting well before it reaches either of these. The bad news, we need to figure out what is going on with your connection. I definitely agree, there is something going on with your packet loss. Here is a comparison of yours to mine. I run an average ping of 19 to the server with roughly 0-1% packet loss. You can see with your current averages, theres a reason you are getting 150+ pings. This: 10.245.192.1 is your second hop, and an IP with a 10.x.x.x is reserved for private ranges. And the beginning of your problems. You can see your first hop immediately starts producing packet loss. My second hop is not a private network, but my cable modem, to which I block pings (hence no response). My 3rd hop though is still averaging 10. The rest of your hops are completely irrelevant if we can't figure out what is going on with your first hop. Are you on some kind of school network, military base network, something of the sort? Trying to figure out why your second hop is a private network vs a direct connection to your ISP (suddenlink), and why that network is giving you such high packet loss. I 100% agree that you probably do not find issues with certain other servers. Most likely any server that is in your area is going to give you a much better ping, as your packet loss will only climb the more jumps you have to go through. But its a catch 22, because the current servers you find, may have lower pings, but they are still much higher than what you SHOULD get, due to your immediate packet loss on the first hop. Let me know how your setup is, in regards to that second hop being a private network. Your packet loss on a second hop should be 0, with an average ms of 1-12. Not 90-800 lol.

Please run this for a few hours, during the time you usually play. It is light weight so feel free to do other things while its running. Even play. Put in the IP of our server. Send me the output on here after you get 2-4 hours of data. On a side note, I do not think you are alone. Here is an excerpt of the latest issue we have filed with NFO. It seems they, and other GSP's know there is an issue that is causing players to see higher pings. He asks me at least 5 times in this ticket alone if we are seeing increased ping times. I think due to you, others and NFO confirming this, we will turn the ping kicker up to 200 for the time being. Dont want to inadvertently kick people that may be regulars.

Ok this guy is weird. But this is the best description by far. Only watch the first few minutes to get the idea. THIS is probably the best example of in game play. The guy talking in the background is playing General/Commander You can hear him calling out commands to Armor and Air Divisions. Most of the chatter is between squad leaders letting each other know what is happening. Highlight video from BF3 Global Conflict. Same idea. These guys job for this round were to hold the left flank with armor.

In game rules are up for the higher ranking officials to decide. each team will spend roughly 10-15 mins discussing the strategy. Each player will have a specific role. Its not just grab a tank and go. A single player might be a tank driver for the entire match. The 3rd page of the layout explains it better. https://docs.google.com/document/d/15tHImP6YIq3Ff5wyrkmRDMkfO8u_Li20MuQecYwnsEg/

lol

we are still playing out the gameboard part of it (virtually) still tweaking some things. I think as long as people get the tactical battle (in game) part of it, the rest is easy to get. these rules are by no means set in stone.

Battlefield: Advanced Tactical Logistics B.A.T.L

You made my spawn this idea Battlefield World Conquest ? to stick with the CQ game we will be playing.

Alright. Whos good at names? I need a name for this thing so I can get a website up and running. Keep in mind the following. Its Battlefield In game will be very tactical Its Risk/Axis and Allies associated Its on a world wide scale. Ideas so far: Battlefield Hostile Combat Battlefield Hostile Encounter Battlefield Tactical Warfare Battlefield Tactical Combat Battlefield Tactics: World War World Battlefield Battlefield World Warfare Battlefield World Battlefield Empires

Scores will be reset tomorrow evening. FYI

LMFAO Someone is up for guesses on Freefry now.

You post a picture of what you think the person above you looks like. Im going to start with how I believe @@Damit1 looks

Let me work out the kinks. Figure out if we can use the server or if we need to use another. Ill run it by admins. Ultimately the server needs to be unranked and private.

My current config is 2x120 GB Raid 0. So Ill still have another 240 on top of this guy. I highly doubt I would even notice the difference of removing raid 0 on this new SSD lol. This means my kdr will go up right?

Slight upgrade from my 120GB OCZ Agility 3. Should be up and running tomorrow.

Those meddling kids! Playing BF after my bed time. ILL SHOW THEM!! DDOS OWN SERVER.

what game do we play?

Would anyone be interested in a mock game of this next Saturday? At least the in game tactical portion? If so, Ill create a signup sheet.
