Topic: Need a server?

Hey Dudes,

I have a Pentium III 512Mb Win2k server running Half Life2 Day of Defeat:Source mod on a T1 line that is underutilized. What are the server requirements for BF2?  I have absolutely no beef swapping it over to test BF21:FS

Re: Need a server?

Thanks for your offer but you need at least a P4/Xeon/Opteron/Athlon64 at higher clock rates with at least 2GB of (preferably EEC/Registered/Buffered) RAM to run a BF2142 properly at more than 32 players. TBH I don't even think that a P3 can host 16 players. Also a T1 line wouldn't be sufficient as BF2142 needs about 2-4 times more traffic per player.
So, thanks for the offer anyway smile

Re: Need a server?

True - but my specs work for 16 player. Just upgraded my downstream to 10Mbps.  If you want it, let me know. smile

Re: Need a server?

Are you confident you can host 16 players without lag of any kind?

Hey Svenstaro,

I think you're looking a gifted horse in the mouth.  I'll wait for the beta release and put one up then.

Cheers.

Sorry dude, didn't mean to. If you want to try it out no worries, the server for 2142 will be out soon enough.

Re: Need a server?

no problemo Svenstaro.  Noticed you're in Germany? I used to live in Lahr back in 1988-1991 with the CAF military.
