I'll be honest, the reason I may chose a different server over the BFM one is simply because it may be empty at the time.
I'll always play with you guys over anyone else no matter what the gametype or map, but if there's no one there, I'll be off to see who else is about, or I'll play halo.
I know this isn't exactly constructive, after all I'm making no real usable suggestion. I'm just lending my support to whatever measures will get bodies in the server, because ultimately, that's what I look for when choosing where to play.
Hope your plan works well Cool!
