Lol, I did just try again but got kicked by admin for no known reason. Here goes another one...

His account seems to be only a couple weeks old, possibly only meant for hacking.

I've tried a bunch and keep the good one's on my fav list. .

Just keep trying, and If your still playing tonight, hit me up (ID in sig) and I'll play with you. You have a mic?

Ok, I may be on a bit later.

I still get slight stuttering at times...is that normal?

Unfortunately, it is.

I get screen tearing like no tomorrow.

Is there a way to search for games with 500 tickets?

EDIT: Ok, after playing the PC version all evening from 16:00 until 23:40...I can't see myself taking it seriously. The admin spam on all servers is horrid...constantly popping up messages saying no this, no that, do this, do that. One server said no base raping on metro.....the attacking team were helpless and there was no option but killing them all at their base....yet the admin done nothing anyway except keep spamming the message. The team balancing is horrid too. I didn't join one game where the teams were balanced....one team was always getting dominated, I was lucky enough to be on the dominating team a few times.

I really hate to say this, I have always stuck up for PC but the PS3 IMO has it better. The rent a server option allows me to do just that, have it my rules and so on. There are far more servers available. I thought 64 player on PC, metro would have loads of 500 ticket servers, yet I found hardly any thus resulting in short pointless games. On PS3, the games are far more balanced and there are numerous 500 ticket servers...and thats only 24 player. Also, although I like in game chat, the admin spam as said before isn't there. VOIP....where is this on PC....why hasn't it been implemented? Consoles have it......?? I played other maps too but again, the same old team balancing stuff etc... happened. For example, I was on Caspian Border playing conquest and my team had every single flag....yeah it was fun owning the other team but all I kept seeing pop up in the in-game chat was how bad the balancing was. Maybe I just got unlucky tonight, or I'm comparing it too much to the games I've had on PS3.

I just had to get this out....I raved about this game on PC loads yet I find it more enjoyable on PS3....maybe it's just me and I'm sure some of you guys think differently. However, I didn't want to start a thread and let it turn into a typical console vs PC thing which honestly I don't care about...it's just the game itself I'm talking about. Anyway, sorry for the long post.

Yeah, I REALLLLY hate autobalance. If half a team leaves in the middle of the game that's their problem, not mine. They should balance/scramble teams BETWEEN games, not just switch people over in the middle of the game so you basically just beat yourself...
One time on Seine Crossing rush I armed 5 out of 8 mcoms and then got autobalanced literally 3 seconds before the last one exploded.

And yeah servers with stupid rules are stupid, but it's their server, they pay for it, they can make whatever rules they want, just don't join those ones.

I always seem to end up on the losing team, however that is determined...

There are quite a few Metro servers on PC, but most are high ticket, not 500. Also the game seems to have a lot less activity (probably due to Diablo) so even the most popular servers aren't totally full or queued up.

I don't really have any issues with admins, they never seem to be in the servers I play lol. The few servers that I do play that have them, they are decent.

All in all I would say this game is pretty frustrating unless you either; Get on a winning team and own the other side, or play with some friends to work together. Lone wolfing is hit or miss, mostly miss. Unless you're a TDM guy/gal teamwork doesn't matter as much (although it can be applied there to great effect also).

I think auto balancing is based on SPM

You were just unlucky to join the wrong servers.

At our clan server we don't spam the chat at all, just every minute or two we have an Admin message say something like "Type !rules to read the server rules" and that will pop up the server rules at the bottom of your screen when you've spawned.

As to balancing, it also deppends on the server and of course the players on it, I've had more balanced games (Out of 800-900 tickets, ending within 50-100 ticket difference) than unbalanced overall.

Not to mention we only have some basic rules:

1. No base raping
2. Being respectful to each other

That's about it, we don't forbid any weapons or vehicles.
