Well said. I genuinely tried to be respectful toward Phal @Blue shark and acknowledged the work he she has put in. Unfortunately, the response I received came across as dismissive and immature. Is this really the kind of conduct expected from someone in a leadership role?
Those who gave him...
I don't think anyone is criticizing Phal @Blue shark personally. We're only pointing out something we've seen many times: players often leave when the modded Irving map starts.
When we raised this concern, it was mostly dismissed. We all want the same goal—more players on the server. We...
The last recorded gameplay video of the original Irving map from January, just before your personally modified version was introduced, is not anecdotal evidence—it's direct evidence. It clearly shows a large number of consistent player numbers and the NVA team winning the match, which undermines...
Using forum votes as proof is a weak argument because the players who are actually playing—and leaving when the modded Irving map comes up—aren't the ones participating in those polls.
I'm sure you're aware that most newer players rarely, if ever, visit these forums, so any vote here isn't...
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually agree with you.
Hello BFV built its reputation on original maps, while communities focused on modded maps—like TKO—eventually disappeared. Phal is a good admin who earned his position quickly, just like RusWarrior, you, and DiscoMagpie. I've even...
The NVA in the original Irving was fully capable of countering the US's overwhelming air superiority through a combination of effective tactics and teamwork:
Tunnel networks allowed the NVA to launch surprise attacks into the US main base, occasionally capturing US aircraft. Players such as...
We have traditionally announced events on the main server so that our regular players are aware they are happening. From there, interested players can come to the forum, download any required files, and join the event.
I believe Iceskater looked into hosting events on other servers and found...
Today, about 10–12 of us were playing across several different maps, and the player count remained steady throughout. However, as soon as the heavily modded Irving map loaded, roughly half the players left. A few minutes later, I checked the server again, and it had dropped to 0 players.
This...
I got into the game this evening but this event was apparently over. I missed it. Normal maps were playing. I assumed that the event runs till the end of the day.
Ninja Gy and I both feel that the original (vanilla) version of the Irving map is better, while the modded (non-vanilla) version of La Drang Valley is a significant improvement. We hope the admins will restore the original Irving, as it was a well-designed map that was a lot of fun to play.
I agree. I also like the new mod changes in La Drang Valley but I prefer the original Irving. I have experienced for years that although the NVA team in Irving didn't have air power, they were still formidable with one ZSU and more players with SA-7s and also the two tunnels made it very...

This past week we had more than 8 players every single day even on weekdays during afternoon and evening times EST US. I know because I get the GT App notifications :)
