It is hard to get servers going these days,TDM+ Metro may turn certain peeps off as it can be viewed as stat pad galore,but to use other modes,you really need to stick to a certain mode or advertise to a wide range and pray that you can drag in some peeps.
Interesting thing is,apart from "thatBfGuy" who is an Aussie,(sorry if I got the name wrong) most of the members of the platoon(Euro) do not seem to play,or seem to play as randoms(No offence,but if you are all going to go on randoms,why join the platoon?)
I know that you guys pay for this and there is no official support and hats off for making the effort!! BUT if you want traffic you need to advertise,as Battlelog sucks tbh.
As I am(kinda) in FF I know all your pain,we had a dedi box with plenty of space left for renting out to other peeps for BF3,but the market was not there,hell as it stands we are down to 2 servers(32 man) and these are going soon(we are restructuring the whole clan/server malarky).Weird as it sounds,but this game has done more to hurt clans than help.
TBH I am shocked at OC3D not having a server with this game(last one I remember was CoD4)guess we are not the community we once were(stop kissing your own arse Tom,sort it).
