Testing the waters on renting a server

Ya_chustvuy · 21 Aug 2026 at 20:55 · permalink

I’m looking to rent a server but I don’t want to throw money in the trash so I’m hoping to drum up some player count here and get suggestions on popular game modes.
BF4 supremacy, these new games are ass bro please just play BF4 with me bro please

Gud luck trying to rent a server in 2026 man, if yer on console at least—there are times that when you rent a server it won't show up on yer rent list to start it or even get in what you've payed for... EA will just steal yer money.

I mean I started with the one day and have a friend with admin rights who can also see it and join. I’ve had up to 5 players in less than 30 minutes of it being active, not great but better than expected

The only downside is that it’s ranked and not official for faster vehicle/player spawns

Renting a server is indeed throwing money in the trash, at this point in the games lifecycle

I would save your money, in all honesty renting a server in this day and age unless you’ve been established for years will 9/10 times never work

I mean it’s a vice honestly, people spend more in fast food I’m just looking for some kind of return. If there’s no support here I won’t spend the money but for a BF4 subreddit you guys are downers already lol

Xbox one, I realize now that’s kind of important

The game has been all but dead for about a year now. You’ll be lucky to have anyone but yourself in the server.

I'd welcome a server that isn't hard-core or 24/7 maps that is now the only thing I'm running into even that tyrant buckllc #1 kills server has a great rotation but it's rarely populated but the #2 always is and the rotation is terrible. Who wants to constantly play fucking locker all day? I'd prefer a server with the ENTIRE rotation including the DLC stuff.
