BF3 Server Message Rotation

[Gone_Away]

Hi Folks,

Procon Tool is sorted to allow for the message rotation. I haven't gone for rules at this point as we need to agree them. Let me know what you think of these and if any need improving:

1. Dead Men Walking - UK - The Original since 1996!
2. Admins Play Here - Shout ADMIN for assistance.
3. Profanity Not Tollerated Here. KEEP IT CLEAN.
4. Server Crashes Brought to You by DICE - Please Re-join if this occurs!

I've put them on a 2 minute cycle.

Love the DICE bit! Sounds good.

Need to extend the message time, ATM it feels like spam on the screen.

Every time one of those message pops up, it also displays the last 5 covering the right hand side of your screen.

thanks for input Naldo.

I think I'd like to see something about our url and registering on our forums and joining our Teamspeak server.  E.g.

Maximise your fun, join us on our Teamspeak3 server - register @ //www.deadmen.co.uk for details!

The current placing of the chat window is too big and intrusive on the user.

I agree that we should have server messages but currently they are shown too often.

The current messages are shown in the chat box and therefore blocks a large part of the screen when shown. Its also opaque and isn't too good whilst in a gunfight.

Hopefully they will make it smaller and move it to where it was in bc2.

In the meantime please can we raise the time between messages and maybe make them show whilst waiting at the beginning of a round instead?

Thank you for your feedback. I've reduced the frequency to four minute rotations.

From what I've read, the ChatBox location and size is being complained about extensively and is being worked on by EA. Once sorted, I'll up the frequency again.
