Player-only matches are just wonderful. Play Oldskool and take the low-player-count games to help us get to the bigger ones!

EDIT: due to confusion, information on Oldskool is below.

Select Freeplay-> Public Game-> Match Settings-> Old Skool

Old Skool's settings are as follows...
Min Team Size - 8
Max Team Size - 8
Required Players - 1
Friendly Fire - On
Force Team Balance - On
Public VOIP - On
Death Spectator Mode - On
Rank Restricted - Off
Command Post Buffs - On
Overtime - Off

Old Skool games have only players, no bots. Even with small games of 2v2 it's refreshing.



The interface is NOT terrible, confusing, or complicated.

what is the difference in old-school to normal?

i only found out what stopwatch was yesterday !

old school is public VIOP no over time freindly fire with about 5 person teams and fun as hell I play it all day REQUIRES good team work less people needs the right people

I played old skool until they dropped it to 4v4. So I play Competition now, 5v5. I dug old skool, having friendly fire on isnt as bad as I thought it would be. No bots is great too. I will play it again when they put it back to 8v8. I miss the command post buffs.



Old Skool and competition modes have FF on, no bots, no rank restrictions, um.. oh competition doesnt have command post buffs.

o i c

cheers guys

i really want 8v8 though so maybe not for me. im used to big battlefield games

Old skool is 8v8, but with the temp 8 players total its reduced to 4v4 for the time being. When they fix everything I'm sure it will jump back to 8v8.. Plus no matter what mode you play its 4v4.. with the exception of competition, bots svck and dont count..

+1 for Old School playlist.

yeah i noticed how they dropped to 4v4 sigh all could have been prevented with dedicated servers

Everything cannot be 4v4, I was in a good 4-5 matches last night where it was 8v8. Im talking full games with minimal-to-no lag on the Box.

yes, play old skool. i think most people dont know about it yet, as the interface for finding a multiplayer game is terrible

You freakin LIAR! You're describing competition mode! Not oldskool! Silly Goose.

No play competition thats where its at!

Competition svcks for not having the command post boosts turned on, which are a major part of the game.

That's why I play old school instead.

I would preffer old skool over competition except for the fact that 9/10 times that I join it I am the only one in the room and have to wait to do anything. Competition I can usually hop into a full game or a filling game with no problem. They should make old skool settings have a player minimum like competition does.
