See the problem is, we have always been a battlefield club with other interests. Like Arc or pubg, we even have some overwatch queers running around, etc. Not a cod club. That has been our big draw for new recruits as well. Then we skip a Hardline and a bf1. For good reasons on both, Hardline because who the fuck wants to arrest people when you could shoot them instead. And BF1 for different reasons... As a club however, because how do you run a server with all of that EA bullshit going on. No admin powers at first, and not enough control even now, and 20 dudes to start a server? Fuck you EA. They tweaked that last a bit, but by then it was too late for us to get motivated.
And we had BF4 going strong. But that is going to start to wane. Despite loving 1942, I wouldn't know how to get a game these days, since it was built on that GameSpy program.
So we are going to need a pressence in BFV. Something akin to BF4. Only of course if it is possible from an adminstration standpoint.
If not, I dont know where we go from here. We are Battlefield, and then we aren't, but what are we known for?
So let's all hope it is at least good enough in the interim to keep our Battlefield presence alive.
I can see an interest in the new Fallout 76 for clans. Check out the intro on it, and you can see how a few close knit players can make a strong impact, and garner attention to the clan. But that seems to be another nitch game, or other interest, as we refer to the games other members get interested in.
But Battlefield is our bread and butter. And it needs to happen if at all possible. If we are up and running day one, and stick with it, we can get enough new members to get it self sustaining. If we half ass it and quit after a month, or feel we know what server settings Banzore should have, since we are all hard core as fuck around here, we might miss this chance again to get a bunch of new meat into our ranks. I rather have a popular softcore server for a Battlefield we don't particularly like, than no server, since we can't get a hardcore that interests the public. It is better to appease the masses and stay known in the community. Or we can try both, which is the idea I like. This talk was scoffed at on the BF1 release, since bZ means hard mother fucker in gamer language, but now bZ means BF4... You know, that game that sells for 5.99 in the discount bin at Target.
