lol wut?

I remember a few times post 1.0 that there are less then 64p on a 4km map...

The map switched to WAnda Shan and like a lot left... but there was about 64p after the map started.

It was by far the cleanest map ever, and cleanest gameplay with NO lag at all.

But, I do see what you are saying.
IMO...
To really show the recruits the real PR experience they should play on 100p servers on a map that is well known. (Muttrah As example.)

I noticed recently that you got to be fast to get on an infantry squad at the very beginning of the game, otherwise you will be left with the garbage players and garbage leaders most of time. People without mics, who don't speak english and are not willing to teamwork.

Kit system:
We really need a system that can give power to the SL to either allow or not the requesting of especial kits, I think that this will greatly prevent lone wolves and kit-whoring. All special kits (HAT, MANPAD, Engineer) and 6 man kits as well (grenadier, marksman, LAT) must be allowed by the SL by some python code.

Non english speaking squads:
Guys, seriously, stop making squads for non english speakers! This is really a pain in the ass. It's such a waste of slot to have a "latinos", "spanish", "GER", "RUS", "BR", [KOR] or whatever language squad, It will rarely get all filled, anyway! You are just segregating players since most of them speak english. I am brazilian, but I will never make a portuguese only squad in international servers (EU, USA), I think it is even disrespectful. BTW, it's so funny to have a lot of weird accents on your squad (including mine).

I have been facing the problems above in the last two days and it is been annoying.

Yes of course some people want to play the whole map offer of project reality

They are not enjoyable with 100 players.

You misunderstand me! With my idea, 100 players on 4km maps will be still realisable!
But only if the additional 20 players are registered players of this community/server hoster.
This will ensure a team capable of teamplay and tactics

The main idea:
Lots of reserved slots (20), which improves communities bondages and guarantees a big team capable of teamplay

@Death! I agree

It would be cool...

You can only pick from certain kits the SQL selects.

But I agree, you really have to rush to get inf squads.

I created one late after everyone made squads. Then I only had like no mic players, people that don't speak english or such.

Really sucked. So I just became commander.

Make it optional to the server how many players they want to max out at. I suppose that could be done with reserve slots, but if the amount could be easily adjusted it would be useful for some servers. At the same time, since there aren't a ton of servers to begin with it's nice to be able to join a 100 player server with only 80 people in it instead of finding nothing but a locked up 64 or less player server and no alternatives besides servers in Brazil or Russia with huge pings.

That is already an option for server license holders. AFAIK Merk runs there server on 80 people maxed out.

Funny fact: most "brazilian" servers are located in US because to get a host in Brazil is far expensive. Anyway, I don't play on those servers due to HUE reasons.
