Close Quarters

[Hamltnblue]

Today is the first day of close quarters. Not a good start so far.
Only 2 servers available at them moment and they're both in france.

Looks like the expansion isn't out yet even though empty servers show in the empty browser. When you try to enter one a message says to download the expansion pack but there isn't a link to do so.
They must be in the middle of setting up.

Yeah, and even worse news, I've got our server ready to go, and its now showing 0 of 16 slots.

If Close Quarters is limited to 16 slot servers, I am now doubting us running any DLC... Heck, thats even worse than Blops servers player counts. After Blops, who would have thought Treyarch was better than DICE? I'd give my left nut for Theatre mode.


I'd suggest any 308 members that was planning on getting the CLose Quarters DLC for idle purposes only, to wait on making the purchace - till we find out more about server player counts. thx




EDIT: Its now showing 32. Should be good to go.

Guess I was confused on the release schedule for Close Quarters. It seems CQ is not available for purchace as a stand alone for two more weeks. Unless mistaken, only "Premium" purchacers can play it now.

DICE keeps finding new ways to split the player base, trying to squeeze more juice from thier lemon.

Looking at the server list there are many 32, 40 and 64 slot servers showing.  I'll be trying it out shortly

Played Ziba tower and scrap metal. Great maps.  Definitely run and gun.
You stop for a few seconds you get shot.  The map size is pretty good in scrap but ziba should be kept to under 24 players IMO

Donya fortress and scrap yard are both decent size.
Operation 925 and zina tower are about the size of COD maps.
