Definitely off
Much more fun to hunt for enemies and be surprised when you come face to face.

OK, the server is now PENDING ACTIVATION. It should be up and running on game release.
Also, a fair few server options have been revealed:
vars.serverName controls the name of the server, as seen in the server browser.
=NF= The Naked Fanatics - www.thenakedfanatics.com
vars.gamePassword - if set, players must enter this password when connecting to the server.
None
vars.friendlyFire – when set, people can inflict damage on others in the same team.
Off or on? I would say Off to prevent griefing, but some people want it on.
vars.killCam – when set, a killed player gets to see a close-up of his/hers killer for a few seconds.
Off for me, definitely. I don't like the killcam concept at all.
vars.miniMap – when set, a minimap is available in the bottom-left corner of the screen during play.
Should be on I think.
vars.hud – when set, the hud is present.
On, HUD is fine.
vars.crossHair – when set, guns have crosshairs in the center of the screen.
I think we can leave this on too. However, if there's too much spraying going on we might consider turning this off?
vars.3dSpotting – when set, spotted targets are marked with icons in the 3D world.
I would say let's leave this off and rely on communication instead?
vars.miniMapSpotting - when set, spotted targets are marked with icons on the minimap.
On.It's the classic way.
vars.3pCam - when set, 3rd person vehicle cameras are enabled.
I want to keep this off.
vars.nameTag – when set, nametags are rendered over players’ heads in the 3D world.
Don't mind. Off I guess.
vars.regenerateHealth – when set, health regeneration is enabled.
I'm going to say OFF. Back to classic Battlefield! Make the medic useful again.
vars.vehicleSpawnAllowed – when set, vehicles will spawn in-game.
On, Vehicles are nifty
vars.vehicleSpawnDelay – controls the delay between vehicle spawn; specified in percent (100% = normal).
Let's go with default for now?
vars.soldierHealth – sets maximum soldier health, specified in percent (0-100%; 100% = normal).
I guess we'll have to see what default feels like before making any alterations here
vars.playerRespawnTime – controls player respawn delay; specified in percent (100% = normal).
I would prefer a bit longer than default. (based on beta)
vars.playerManDownTime - controls player man-down time; specified in percent (100% = normal).
Same here, longer than default.
vars.bulletDamage – controls bullet damage; specified in percent (0-100%; 100% = normal).
Normal/default
vars.onlySquadLeaderSpawn – when set, players can only spawn on the squad leader.
Squad leader ONLY spawn please! ON! Classic battlefield!
vars.roundStartPlayerCount – when the server is in pre-round, it waits for this many players to be present until it proceeds to start the real round.
Let's start at ONE player.
vars.roundRestartPlayerCount – when a round is going, if the number of players drops under this number, the round will be aborted and the server moves back to pre-round.
Don't care
Server is UP! I'll post full info tonight!
Yeap server is in the server list... just wish I could play NOW. I think everyone can get in battlelog right now.
[Mr.Burns voice] Excellent!!!!
I agree on most server settings except a few:
Crosshair - Got to be OFF. Come on, this isn't some kiddie fps shooter any more
MiniMap spotting - I would turn OFF for less arcadey and better stealth.
As you said for 3dspotting "rely more on comms"
PlayerNames - ON Maybe a bit crap but VERY useful to know who you are talking to especially when there is an enemy behind them.
As you say, we can see how it goes and change as needed....
I'll send a contribution
Yep, server is running it says in the Admin panel. Also, Battlelog is open. Please refer to this threadOriginally Posted by Travis

We could start with having it on. This isn't ArmA after allI'll see about turning it on or off. I'm really not sure yet.
As for minimap spotting, I don't mind about that honestly. It's the 3d spotting I'm not so happy with, but minimap spotting was in BF2 and 2142 and never felt contrived or anything. It's not that bad having it on, especially since the minimap only shows a limited area around you anyway. A bit like the shactac hud I guess
Playernames on is something I can agree with. Should make stuff easier for communication.
I'll reply to your PM asap. I'm a bit busy now that's all
