If we have enough players, what about using Rush for main battles, but running two matches simultaneously - one EU and one NA?
Rush doesn't allow 64 players (32 max for RUSH mode). Only conquest does. Rush infantry would be fine for EUBOs/NABOs though.

What he's saying sup, is if we run rush but have 2 servers running at once. That gives you 2 servers of 32, for 64 players. It's not a bad idea IMO. May need testing to see whether it's feasible, and may only be possible in the middle of battle days when we would be looking at switching servers.

I see. But that would mean I wouldn't get to kill Brummie 10 times in a row. I really wan't diversity and playing with people around the globe not just with EU players.

Agree, but if it extends the map pool I think it's an idea worth exploring. Not a perfect solution but we need to do the best we can with the tools we're given.

Exactly. I really like the idea of using it mid-battle as part of the switch from NA to EU.
Hoo hoo, Robin, I invented black-hawk whoring!

I understand it could be an option for some but not for me. Maps or fiends? I much rather have only map at disposal than not play with the NA guys.

GC is the idea of one big community playing altogether - so for the main battleday event the idea of having separate battles simultaneously does not do the trick.

Exactely, and I insist that I only be allowed to die 10 times in a row if it is by .Sup. Non one else is allowed to do that ok :roll:

Rob! Now that's a little harsh! Poor Brummie. He may be old and half blind but there's no need for that :lol:

We have done that in the past. We have even switched servers, between maps. Made it more fair lag issues wise as well.

I was hoping to always play Conquest except for EUBOs/NABOs if those will be played. Rush/Conquest would be in order then.
