Title: Homefront dedicated server?
Post by: GhostMjr on May 01, 2011, 02:11:10 PM
The free dedicated steam files are now available on steam via the tools menu.

File is 1475mb.

Question is do we run a server?

There are some dmw's who have the game can anyone take the lead on the game?

We could get a server up and running it doesn't cost a subscription or does having an empty server look rather bad?

The general rule is, if we think a game is worth it or we want to try it then we can get a server up.  

Process:
You decide if the game is worth it.  If it is:
Ask for a server to be brought up.
Existing GLs take on the management of the server.
If the game has legs we then appoint a long-term GL.


Is this a game you think works for us?  If the answer is yes then we'll bring a server up on BA4.

I personnal feel from the feedback at LAN was this was not a game we should support.  "Poor man's cod" etc.

Just my 2 cent

Let's be honest: it's a pretty crap game, and I doubt anyone in dMw will still be playing it by the end of the year.
