Instead of sitting on an empty server of rush 32 man, the last two days (during the day only) I have had the server in squad rush mode.
As a result the server has been full for both days. I think this is better than having it sat there doing nothing as we know trying to get a 32 man server going with no one to seed is pretty hard going.
I will then change it back to normal rush around seven when other dMw members start logging on. I have sat on TS just in case any dMw member needed to find out what was going on.
Hopefully that's ok with you guys as I did not ask permission to try this.
Fine by me, as we both noticed the other day when just the 2 of us where on, almost as soon as you changed it over to squad rush the server filled - I guess with it being a smaller number the EA servers send randoms there sooner than it does on 32 man settings.
That would certainly boost our ranking if Squad Rush mode was the default mode and we only turn to normal rush once we get numbers.
