I agree with it all except Commanders will be selected randomly. It's a position I do only when I absolutely have to, and a position I know that many people hate and never want to do, so we should have an apply for CO, but limit it to 10 applications. If you're too late, tough luck.

Commander HAS to be a volunteer 100%, and tbh you will always found someone who will step up - if not thats their call, its all FUN anyway ?


We do not want to make these matches too - orgainised, and regimented, just remember our ethos "fun".

However saying that there is still a lot of "ground work" we need to do to get these up and running of course.


Good start though, keep them coming lads.

ehhh, having signups as front page news on the site is a little over the top and the only thing it would do is deteriorate the types of players you will get since it will then be posted on every BF2 news site there is as they post anything these days.

A ingame message on login is more than enough to reach the target ordinance we want (the active PR player base)

Commander and Squad Leader positions need to be volunteer, epically for Commander. It would be best to have squads setup before each game starts tbh, then have 20 reserve players or so that can hop in if some ppl dont turn up.

you will also want to get the commanders to assign each squad tasks before game and talk with them etc, you dont want 10 jet squads and 1/2 the team sitting on the runway.

[[R-DEV]UK_Force]

Agreed, all publicity is done here in the forums + the box for a few weeks, that way we get the right players, ie our Community.


Once the teams are sorted, its ALL down to the Commander .... our job is not "organising" teams, its "organising" the match.

Teams will have to fend for theirselves once they are set up ..... this needs emphsising in the sign up thread though.

If teams do not organise their squads etc, its simply their fault if they loose?

Understood in ref of the commanders apointment I have taken that on board. I had the idea of the commanders running there teams from the start so no change there.

Ok I take on the point of not advertising on the front page, thats the [DEV]`s call, i`m just to organiser trying to get the concept and games out to the COMunity.

As for the bonus match, having the idea of randon selection In my mind is good, if they have made some kind of post in these forums then they have an interest in the WHOLE project, I have no intentions to let this info out to the PUbs so there won`t be any stupid post`s just to get there name shown...

we have 2 matches resulting in 20 reserves were talking about 12 playes selected in this manner, not a lots of work needed to make this small idea work.

[[R-DEV]UK_Force]

Joey, try the concept out, lets see if it works mate ;-)
