The best way to get going in an FPS is to play with friends. Get 4-6 of us playing 4-5 days a week at the same block of hours, and we'll bump into a ton of people looking for a similar group, and our skill and teamwork will advance exponentially.
They are going to be bringing rental servers in an updated way. This is super exciting, since we can set up our own server and keep it at the top of the rankings. Helps tremendously, plus we won't need to pay for multiple servers in order to have scrimmages, practice, tactics teaching and matches, because they say they are going to allow for spawning a new server instance, and it will be baseline free (presumably with more options and larger size when paying so a clan server can be paid and dedicated while practice/scrims/competition can be instanced as needed for no further cost).
This is AMAZING good news.
Let's definitely get BF back for SF. Haven't been so excited since I joined when we had Bad Company 2 going strong.
Today, July 4th, 2017, we have enlisted within our ranks Crewman Apprentice Oddball.
The Crewman has been deemed fit for duty and has been assigned to the U.S.S. Enterprise,
under the command of Captain Nathan Hunter. The Crewman swore to adhere by our
Code of Conduct, to uphold its values, and to exemplify our core beliefs.
We leave you with these words on your adventure,
"Live Long and Prosper"
Sincerely,
Commander Darkwyndre, Admissions Staff
