Added Europe West platoon to OP.
We're gtting closer to jumping on a server purchase and it's looking like Multiplay, so if you get a chance, please play Multiplay servers (preferably located in Virginia, as that's what we'll probably get) and give us some feedback. Hopefully once some of the beta kinks get worked out, we'll have a more accurate idea of their capabilities.

I played on a Multiplay server and really liked it. I think it's what we should have.
Just in case you missed my post on the last page!

New rule: Never make me play on a UK server (ping 200 ;_
. Thanks for the games though guys, even though I was on the phone for most of them and couldn't talk.
They seem really good to me. As long as there are no weird currency conversion charges at Paypal or something, they are the cheapest by far as well.

How do you see your ping? I was wanting to see what mine was on the VA server but it wasn't on the scoreboard.LordCanti said:New rule: Never make me play on a UK server (ping 200 ;_
It felt really good considering I was playing it from the UK though.

Oh it's on the server browser!
120 ping for VA Multiplay server from the UK. That seems high, but the experience I had this morning really didn't feel too bad, so yeah.

Are there anymore US Platoons?
Foliorum Viridum said:
Low 100's is usually a pretty good experience. It degrades as you get closer to 200 though, to the point where it's unplayable. I was emptying half a clip into people, only to die because none of the shots had registered. It was like playing on a really bad peer-to-peer connection on Xbox Live.
Also: Why are you on mumble channel 4, when everyone else is on 2? Different teams?

Check the op. There is a platoon for each region.

Got it. Thought it might have been full.LordCanti said:
An update for anyone that isn't current on this thread: Multiplay (a server hosting company, located here: http://www.multiplaygameservers.com/) is having a $1 per slot pre-order sale on BF3 server rentals. In other words, our server would only cost $64 a month, instead of the $100 everyone else is charging (with the exception of Gameservers, which is charging $85 or so). This gives us two additional months over what we had previously thought, with our current donation total of $403 (six months compared to four).
During this beta, it would be great if everyone could hop on some multiplay servers and try them out (filter the list with the word "multiplay" and it should come up. Also filter by region, so you make sure to get on an NA server). It would be even better if you guys could hop on some Multiplay servers in Virginia (located by the letters "VA" in the server title) as that is the most likely location of the server right now.
For what it's worth, I was able to get on 64 player Caspian servers while they were still up, and the performance seemed very high to me. I've been on 32 player Metro servers as well, and I didn't encounter any bugs that seemed to be server specific (the Beta is pretty buggy, so it's hard to tell sometimes).
We've got ten days until the beta is over, and it's fair to say that we've got that long to figure out which hosting company would be the best to go with. Your help is appreciated.

Man this beta is so much more enjoyable with a few people who knows what they are doing, a few great games with Spookie and Norua. Not so enjoyable playing against Tattooth, stop shooting me dammit.
Hey guys, Newegg has BF3 Limited Edition pre-order for $48, free shipping.

Yeah, REALLY need a better way to keep track of messages when in-game. Maybe an option to turn on Battlelog notifications or something?
Up to $433! Thanks, Norua!
AndyD said:
I don't get pop-ups at all. All I get is a little window on the bottom bar of battlelog, with the persons name. Sometimes I don't even get those until I log back into battlelog, which makes things really difficult.
Oh well, maybe they'll fix it while they're attempting to plug all of Battlelog's security vulnerabilities.
AndyD said:
I get the game joined pop-up, but not PM's for some reason. Not sure why :/

Shit. Branzone has a year-long special deal on 64 player servers: $600 for a full year.
A little out of our reach and I'm fine with multiplay, but just putting it out there.

Mr. Snrub said:
We'd be saving $15 a month, but we'd also run the risk of their servers and customer support being crap, and us being stuck with them for an entire year.
I'm not sure it's worth the risk.
It seems to also only be for a Chicago server, I think.

The above are going to be taken off NA East platoon and I'm going to start verifying new applicants are indeed GAF members. To make sure I can verify you are a GAF member make sure you have posted somewhere in GAF. If you have no posts or I can't find your name posted anywhere in GAF please PM me so can get you added to the platoon.
How about the gaf platoon be invite for people who donate aswell, dont know just throwing it out there( a little more incentive to donate).
Had some good games Lord Canti, I like how that guy shutup when I dropped a 50 bomb while attacking and going for MCOM's. Can't wait for to play conquest again.

Assuming that they don't raise the cap from 100, I guess that would be a nice extra incentive. I'm still not sure what they're doing with platoons, and I have no idea why there is a 100 person cap, but if that is something people want, it shouldn't be too hard to set up.
