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.

There will be no Procon, or ANY Rcon level of control.

I don't remember anyone saying that there will be "no way to rent a server". However, the lack of control has many people saying "no way we will rent a server". If we can't govern it, we can't host it.

And everyone was taking the lack of mention on the ability to rent a server as meaning there would no such thing, see how that turned out.

For the hundredth time, I obviously can't predict how it will turn out, but honestly, I would like to know for what possible reason anyone would willingly burn $80 a month to rent a server they have no control over besides the game modes being run and giving it the name you want. Nobody would waste their money on that shit.

This is what makes servers unrentable. So far, this is what we have been given....starting at least two weeks after the launch.

Dice has decided to cut ties with all of the gaming communities that have paid to host their servers for years.

I hope I am wrong, but so far, it's not looking like there will be a TPG server. If we can't govern it, help pay for it with slots, and choose where in the US the box is located, we are out. And again....at best....this all starts two weeks after the launch.

However......It would be cool to see if we can get a BF2 and a 2142 server up and popping. Our ded box (that we have the ArmA and TS servers on) has enough horsepower to host SEVERAL BF2/2142 servers.

Hmmmmm. Maybe that is the direction we have to go.

It would be funny as Hell to see BF2 and 2142 suddenly outsell BF1 as other communities are forced down the same path. I doubt it, but it is funny to think about.

Yes, I'm aware. It's just not what I was arguing over, nor why I quoted that post back to you in context to your previous post.

Again, assumptions... Whatever, I better stop now. Everyone's free to be as pessimistic and deathgody as they want. I'll keep my mouth shut until we have the complete information.
