and saying the server is always empty is actually a bit untrue. every day since it launched there have been at least 6v6 for 5 hours or more. it's been full a few times and had 30 or so on once or twice. now i recognize that 5 hours isn't a huge span - but when people say "the server is always empty" it's pretty clear how often they check.

I can not speak for everyone else, i personally joined just like with the Steam group, to represent. Yet i rarely play with them because my goal is to just find a server with people and game, those bunch of people who asked for a server and got it should now have their incentive to play more often, why they are not is not still not my concern.

I never said that the server was always empty either, only that when i joined the TPU BF3 server once it was empty, could of been the time i joined, i don't know. So i left the server and searched for a different host, no biggie.

Also i tend to have a very passive attitude towards friends/website members playing with each other on game servers as you can probably see.

May contain BF3 SP Spoilers:

Another thing is.... In the SP mode (yes - this is my second or 3rd time playing through it for teh lols) If you attack or kill an enemy before his script has activated e.g RPG guy ontop of the bridge in Operation Guilotine it says *Friendly fire will not be tolerated*

then it does the same thing if you run ahead after the part you almost get made into Jello by a T90 tank. and you need to rush the guys up the stairs to get that stinger missle or whatever it is.......If you rush it before the rest of your squad does - it still gives off the friendly fire message and they take take like half damage or something because the guy was still alive after i put a shotgun round through his noggin at point blank.

It just makes me laugh.... but great idea to put the friendly fire message for shooting an enemy!

There's so many TPU'rs on my friends list that it's extremely rare that I need to find a game without at least one or two of you fine people on it. That's the appealing part of Battlelog for me. The server browser and friends list in BC2 was a pain in the ass and I rarely found a game with even 1 forum member in it.

Battlelog made it easy for me to become cannon fodder for the forum. The small scale games we have on your server are some of the most fun ones I've played in an FPS in recent memory.

Affirmative action is why you're on my friend list.

i did not mean to single you out - it was more towards the point of it being empty. when crazy and I , as well as erocker, newb, dannibus, death, scrizz, gunny, reayth, mailman, caboose, phenom, dave, don, notiert & even more are on practically every day for 6-8 hours or more, there is simply no way that everyone else sees it as empty EVERY time.

it's just disheartening to hear people say they don't join because it's empty. well how is it ever supposed to be anything other than empty if no one ever joins until me or someone else has been sitting in there alone for an hour?

i'm not trying to complain or be an ass - i just want people to recognize that if they issue is the server being empty, i need their help to fix that issue.

I see what you're saying and i will join the server more with you guys when i get some more free time (probably later today).

I am looking into some of the people in our TPU platoon and maybe doing some trimming if they do not look familiar.

[DannibusX]

Well, maybe everyone in the forum clubhouse should post their Origin screenname if it differs from their forum id before you start trimming.

Like CDDude is Tank Rush and nvidiaftw is MxPhenom.

[brandonwh64]

I know most of them from BC2/BF3/L4D and other games, but I did some trimming based on how many people in TPU were their friend on origin and how many platoons they were in in lieu of TPU friends. check the platoon feed to see if I messed up.

[erixx]

what i find stupid is that being all in the TPU platoon I still have to add platoon guys one by one to friends, wtf! I have 30 something added, but now i learned I am missing potential matches. Laters.

And... batle log lies a lot... this morning I saw Crazy in a server, as per battlelog, entered, none there. and later it happend again...

[Wrigleyvillain]

Yeah the friends list integration sucks esp with Origin in the mix too.

Thats wierd re. Crazy. A couple times I have gotten "can't find friend to join" but never allowed to join to find them not there.

[brandonwh64]

If I see someone playing in Com center I try to click the Play button but if that doesnt work I will click the server name right under their origin name which brings me to the servers webpage on battlelog then I join from there

This is exactly what I do when I get those errors.

[brandonwh64]

I have created a spread sheet for us. I will add it to the OP and post here as well.

EVERYONE! Please fill out this sheet with your TPU name/Origin name/Current Platoons

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...1RzQlhzOWdGalE

[cadaveca]

Done, wanna verify it's working?

Sir i have filled out the sheet, Sir

[brandonwh64]

If I have kicked anyone that is a Legit TPU member then please fill out the sheet and PM me so I can readd you to the platoon.

All other platoon leaders can use this sheet as a reference as well before approving any platoon requests.

P.S. I like turtles too!

[cadaveca]

I jumped out of the original TechPowerUp! platoon to make room for others to join up. The maximum Platoon size seems to be 100 still, so we've got to think about other platoons so that new guys and gals can still easily sign up and start playing with us.

I'm on the server daily, at least for a round or two, every day, anyway. We've got a good core crowd at this point, who have been very fun to play with...even if you all stab me like matadors at a bull.

[brandonwh64]

We have TechPowerUp!, TechRejects!, and TechPopularPeople

neurosisxeno i have seen on here (different name, but he has a sig image with it)
and gfxcrossfire has been on the TS and plays often, idk his TPU name though.

[cadaveca]

GFXCrossfire is Darkleoco?

or nvidiaIntelFTW?

dammit, i can't sort it out, I'll leave that up to you guys.

I think I might hop in for a while soon.

I will re add these people once we figure out who they are on TPU. I just went by their friends list and other platoons also playtime.
