The Death of Gamemaster?

Postby Trigger » Wed Jul 20, 2016 3:20 am

I tried playing multiplayer on Gamemaster for BF2, and now I have the same problem I did with regular battlefront 2 multiplayer: it won't go past 0%. I'm not even sure if it works anymore! Is Gamemaster dead? I tried researching it, and found nothing. And if GM is really dead, is there a new multiplayer solution? Because I'm not going to be playing the new battlefront on Multiplayer anymore.


thanks.

I'm just surprised you are able to get on BF2 at all anymore. I only play Battlefront (3) on occasion now, and am now 'trying' to figure out the Bespin maps without getting my ass handed to me. Up to level 67, but just slowly moving along these days on gaming. Sorta burnt out. More realistic and some crazy stuff on Battlefront though :punk: .

I purchased the expansion and now I find hardly anyone if anyone is playing the Bespin maps. It seems the PC version of this game is losing players by the boat load.

Yeah, I've seen that, and it's sporadic. One day, no one was on Bespin or that one before it, but a bunch were on the original maps released again. I don't get it except to say, people HATE not being able to run their OWN servers as Clans, as more have been forming. Hopefully, Origin will figure this out soon, because 'solidarity' and the feeling of Team Family was an important part of BF2 lasting as long as it did. People are getting pissed and restless.

Couldn't say it better. Maybe a SWGO battlefront server on the horizon.

Agree 100%, miss those days, wish and hope EA has that option on their road map.

The reason people aren't playing Bespin on PC is because of the awful frame lag when heroes are present. This was introduced with the last patch. Each hero makes it worse, so having 4-8 on sabotage is really, really bad, as in half second pauses over and over. You even notice it in walker assault with just 1-2 heroes.

Bespin performed pretty bad for me pre-patch, now I don't even bother.

As far as servers with clans go, I'm keeping my eye on Galaxy In Turmoil (https://www.google.com/search?q=galaxy+in+turmoil). If EA/Disney don't shut it down (which seems less and less likely as time goes on), it could be exactly the kind of game we can reboot our community with. It's a remake of what SWBF3 was going to be before it was cancelled, except they are being very careful not to use Disney's intellectual property (no John Williams music, remaking their own sounds, etc).

How do I get on gamemaster or gameranger or whatever via my Steam copy of the game?
All Warfare is based on deception.
Anger his general and confuse him.
Offer the enemy bait to lure him; feign disorder and strike him.
Know the enemy and know yourself; and in a hundred battles you will never be in peril.
