<div class="IPBDescription">FalconEvo</div>Hi all,
After playing NS1 back in the day I decided to go ahead and purchase NS2 after being impressed with the fact that a team was willing to create their own game engine for suitable usage for the platform.
I can honestly say that I am extremely impressed with the Spark engine and I believe it has excellent potential for the future. Dynamic content is an achievement and the lighting engine is superb and gives additional tactical advantages in certain circumstances. When a game engines lighting can affect the decision made by a player then its working as intended!
I have been that impressed I've decided to create 3x 24man servers off my own back, these are running on a spare machine with an overclocked 5Ghz 2600K i7, 16GB ram and a Samsung SSD so server map change load times will be improved.
All servers run at 30tick (100% performance) at all times from my testing and the games have been absolutely epic! I invite all players to come along and enjoy, they are rookie friendly also as I believe getting newer people in to the game will be beneficial for the community and game updates in the future. If the servers become popular I will potentially add some more, I would however like to have the server application to function better across multiple cores as using consumer grade hardware for servers is not ideal. I have a spare 8x (Physical CPU) Xeon HT 3.0Ghz server with 32GB ram which would be ideal for hosting 6+ 24man servers upon once multi-core functionality has been improved in the server side application. I'd happily let this unit sit there churning away on NS2 servers once the server side application is improved to work with multi-core.
Have a look out for the following servers :) add them to your favorites if you fancy joining up more often. As I mentioned all are rookie friendly at the moment, however I'm considering a non rookie and hardcore (dmg modified) server also for the more skilled player base.
FalconEvo's UK MingeFest - 5Ghz i7 - SSD - 16GB Ram - 24Man
FalconEvo's UK SlutFest - 5Ghz i7 - SSD - 16GB Ram - 24Man
FalconEvo's UK Wh0reFest - 5Ghz i7 - SSD - 16GB Ram - 24Man
If anyone would like a temporary Clan Server for a match or tournament let me know and I would be willing to offer out one of the boxes for you. (as they are UK based, anyone outside of Europe will have higher latency)
You will see me on the servers quite often as I'm enjoying playing at the moment, especially as commander or just skulking around eating marine faces.
Cheers Guys,
FalconEvo
