We have a BF3 servers, but some of our members don't have premium or armored kill. We've been running 2 B2K maps in rotation.
when we add any of the new Armored kill maps into the rotation, none of our members that don't have AK can join the sever eveb when a B2K map is the current map.

In fact, if I add just 1 AK map in rotation while the server is playing a B2K map, it kicks off the players that don't have AK.

Is there anyway to allow those that don't have AK to play the non-AK maps in rotation while allowing AK in our rotation?
And forgive my ignorance if this question has already been asked/answered before.

ibadluck, I'm a BF3 Server Administrator as well. To my knowledge this is a Battlelog issue that prevents players from joining if they don't have access to any of the maps in the servers rotation.

It's unfortunate but I presently don't think there is a viable work around. It's not fair perhaps but it's EA/Dice's way of telling players to go Premium or get the DLC when it's released.

On a side note be sure you vars Premium status is set to false as not to exclude non-premium members.

So long story short- Mixed DLC maps will exclude players who don't have access to them.

Yea, that's kinda what I thoughts. I have the premium only set to "false"-so basically we manually change the map sets as needed based on when members want to play AK-otherwise, we just leave it as a B2K map server.
thanks
