Played my first round of BF2 in ages thanks to https://battlelog.co/

Was amazing, even with the pubbers. The rust was real, though.

We need to get some people back into this. Anyone down?

Notice no kicking or banning of problem players, no choice on where your server is hosted, no streaming anti-hack services, no reserved slots, and all well AFTER the launch and with extremely limited options.

It's official. Battlefield is dead.

Yay?

Yay for the ability to have a TPG server, but boo that we can't pick the hardware or host and that we have to wait for features to be added. Sounds like they've streamlined the process, who knows how well it'll work though

If we can't govern it, we can't put our name on it. There is no real ability to have a TPG server.

"On a rented server, players will be able to customize gameplay aspects like server name, map rotation, game mode, various game play settings, -and more.-"

"Expect to hear more about it as we approach the release of the Rent-a-Server program"

Obviously I'm expecting lower customization options, which is a negative, but I'll reserve my cynicism until we get all the information. For instance, there's no fucking way they wouldn't let you choose the server location. I don't expect them to just give server randomly with complete disregard for the server's community, nor do I see them forgoing kicking and banning for admins, with procon support or otherwise. That's be way too fucking retarded.

I think all they're trying to achieve is to minimize server customization so we don't have shit like servers that kick for using explosives, ban people with too high skill stat and kd/r, instant-vehicle spawn servers... I know a lot of people will be mad at this, but I personally don't care about those.

Call me gullible, but once again, I'll stay positive until we get more information. Few days ago everyone assumed there'd be no way to rent a server. Not saying I'll be proven right, just that we never know for sure.

They didn't say there wouldn't be any admin tools though. The announcement is pretty light on details but they said there would be more details to come

"Expect to hear more about it as we approach the release of the Rent-a-Server program."

Granted they could still botch it, but I wouldn't say they've confirmed that we can't manage it in some capacity.

We need to manage it in OUR capacity. Kicking, Banning, Reserved Slots, and choice on server location. The reason they didn't mention ANY of those things is because there won't be any of those things. Without ALL of those things....no DICE.

And all starting on Nov. 1 at the very earliest.

R.I.P. Battlefield. Good Games.
