It can be a hassle to keep it populated. We usually get a server filled if we have about 4-5 people online.
Having Metro as the starting map helps too.

It'll properly be the same size of map but with less flags

That tank mode only has one flag... king of the hill basically... hard not to play the objective on that one.
Sorry Dave. EA kept kicking me off, guess my connection is crap. Which is weird as I was able to get the last online trophy I needed in Ass Creed: Revelations (leaving the singleplayer DLC and singleplayer campaign itself to do). :/

you have too much faith in randoms.
What's that huge circle with an A over it? *doesn't go toward it and continues to tank snipe*

I can say the same about the last m-com on rush defense, and people will still fail to surprise me.
(Lone tank driver won't get out of tank to disarm m-com, team all too far away from objective, etc etc.)
Er-So you advocate the enemy stealing your tank for the sake of disarming, only for them to blow you up with said tank, hold it and arm the crate again and win?
Er--...?

We had this discussion already when the game first came out.
It's a risk you'll have to take.
Obviously I'm not saying you should get out of the tank when enemies are surrounding you.
However, if no one is visibly around, and your teammates are nowhere around - then get out c4/rocket the tank and take your chances disarming.
Especially if it's the last freaking m-com in the game.
What, you prefer to just watch it blow?
No m-com = no win.
If the enemies already armed it and are swarming your tank, you're already
It's a huge gamble and not one I'd be willing to take with the rest of the team being up at the front-line/far away from the last crate.

If you're at a 0% win situation already, how could it get any worse?
I still rather have it disarmed, believing that my useless teammates would at least be here already from the first arm.
I'll take 1% chance over 0%
edit: Yeah, a huge gamble indeed. I guess that's why you always ragequit leaving me alone to fight back for a victory? *jab* *jab at the ragequit king*
That 1% chance isn't a sure thing. How can you be sure that 1% will come in? You can start to disarm, they take the tank. NAIL YOU. While you're in the respawn screen, your failed disarm doesn't reset the timer. So that's already 30->25seconds remaining from 30. Will your teammates make it back in time? Maybe if they clear out the squad-spawning on 2-3 people. Maybe if they take out that 100% Tank you bailed out of to try to turn a sure loss into a maybe loss.
I'd rather nail the people and go out swinging in the tank and hope I've thinned their defense of their arm for the people at the back of the frontline to make it in time, than try to gamble a disarm, give them a 100% tank and the keys to a win kingdom if my team don't notice.
Yep. When the games pretty much decided I'm not going to sit there and wait.
But then again you've also missed games where I get into a "fuck it," mood and bum rush crates, arm at 0 tickets (some against GAF even, sup Fersis on defense?) have the crate blow and take the win/move to the next base. So whatever.

Did you not read the part where I said I would usually c4/rocket the tank if I can?
Did you not read the faceless post I posted above (who btw left a 100% tank)?
You're also speaking as if there is some guy right next to my tank ready to take it at any second. As if I'm telling people to take the gamble without any sense of calculated risk.
Of course 1% chance isn't a sure thing. That's why it's a "chance".
Except you're not getting any chance at all by staying in the tank. Especially if it's the last m-com for the whole game and no one is "dying to spawn in on you".
You're essentially telling me what everyone tells me.
"I'm more willing to take my chances with a vehicle than an objective, and hopefully someone else will do the job."
Well, if you have that much faith in people, that's great. Cause I really don't anymore.
P.S. Perhaps I am wrong, perhaps the odds of winning would be better if I stayed in a tank and not go out and disarm.
It's simply not my personality to do something like that, so I'll never be able to test it.
However, I'm not going to discount the numerous times I have succeeded/saving the game by getting out.
P.S.2. I'm just jabbing at your rage quitting, as usual

my buddy got the weirdest hate mail last night.
he likes to fly the jet, because the rest of the clan takes care of the groundwork and so we rely on him to keep jets and tanks off our backs while moving forward in rush. Well last night, he was doing his normal thing and after he took out the other jet and chopper(we on karg island) he got like 10 messages from two players and they all said.
you got no swag#yolo
SWAGLESS #noswag #noyolo
YOU FUKED UP #SWAGLESS
of course we found this pretty funny, but then they started messaging the other clan members saying the same thing lol
I never got hate mail sadly, but I have to ask, why even send hatemail to begin with.

and what's up with 24/7 Canal servers with "no Stinger/IGLA and no laser targeting helicopters" rules?
is that still a thing?!
is that still a thing?!
Found one when I was playing solo (still banned from that shitty Bloodline server were PS3 GAF loves to play) with the following rules:
No assault revive abuse, no C4 on objectives. If one of the admins. PM you about a vehicle GET THE F*** OUT!
I purposely revived everyone in sight and tried to place C4 on the burn zone whenever I could but I don't play support that much.
Couldn't do anything about vehicles, it was a Close Quarters server haha!
I guess there was no admins. around because no one complained.
I hate custom rules and servers...
You know that EA stated that if it's a PUBLIC RANKED server , that it's a violation of the TOS for the server renter to kick/ban people for certain weapon use. Report the server owners that are doing that. They cannot according to the TOS negatively affect your game experience, and kicking for c4 use or for kicking for winning is a violation of the TOS.
If a server renter wants to limit weapon use, he must do so in a private password protected game.

Ranked Server Administrators:
If you are an administrator of a ranked Battlefield 3 server (referred to below as a "Server Administrator"), you must also comply with the EA Online Terms and Conditions.
Server Administrators are in violation of the EA Online Terms and Conditions if they enforce server rules on ranked servers that prohibit or severely limit players from using any roles, kits, weapons, vehicles, or other features of the game while playing on their server. Examples of such rules that would violate the EA Online Terms and Conditions include:
Running knife / pistol-only servers
Preventing players from using certain weapons or items (such as flash bangs or C4) or enforcing a "pistol only" or "knife only" server rule

that quote doesn't matter if EA does nothing when you complain.
