I am thinking of getting a small BF3 Server for OCF members only

Vengance_01 · Nov 6, 2011

I really want to try and get good with Jets, Helios, tanks etc... But its very hard to find a decent server for this. I am thinking it would cost 20-25$ per month. I am willing to put up for the first month and then I hope if people like the idea, some can chip in. Let me know what you you guys think. Also for the first month, I might host a small vent server on my own connection so people can chat while in the server.

Sounds like a nice idea but be ready. When OCG was up and running a sister site for gamers of the OCF. I ran a 20 man BF1942 server, which cost was to be split between the members. Most the time I footed the whole bill as it was hard to get the guys to cough up a few dollars for it.

at 25-30$ is not bad as a monthly expense. I am wondering how much bandwidth is needed for a small server. A decent Quad and 4GB of ram should be enough for a small server.

You can't host a local server, you have to rent them from the various game hosting companies, unless you go through the whole approval process that EA/DICE have to host.

We actually already have a few servers (listed in the OCF Platoon thread)

Yea I saw that which is really sad

I just rented a a small 16 player server which I will setup and password protect. This should allow O/C forum members who want to practice flying in peace can do so. People who abuse the server will be banned. Please stay tunned for more info come later.

Its what ever you can chip in. I will have a paypal link that will go straight into the server's payment system which will be applied to the total amount that month. I was thinking like 1-2$ per person that uses it on a regular basis.

I've got $5 on your server, bro.

Very sweet. If we can get enough $ I will bump it up to a 32 man server.

I haven't played on a 16 person server, are there jets? In BF2 16 player maps didn't have air. Whats the price difference between the two on your host?

raident30 · Nov 9, 2011

It would be an extra 15$ a month.

Janus67 · Nov 9, 2011

To answer Shelnutt2, any sized server can run whatever sized map it wants, it is broken up by gametype with Conquest vs Conquest-Large (etc)

In regards to the server size, I wouldn't spend the extra on a 32, I highly doubt it would get filled that much especially if it is passworded.

But this more for practice flying server. Only 2 people will be needed to start the match.
