It's good to know that these server admins wish to harbor stat padders in their servers. Good stuff.

FFS I ban stat padders and I'm quite capable of doing that. The stat padders will simply go and play on 16 player servers where it only takes 6 players to start a game. Why should it take 10 players to start a 32 player and only 10 to start a 64 player?

You guys obviously don't get the point. We are paying big dollars for ranked servers which struggle to fill especially overnight when people are sleeping in the location of the server and sometimes the best games are had with less than 10 people.

We are being punished because some gay, lame noobs who go and rep boost their ranks who obviously don't pay for servers and mooch off other people's servers who do.

Who says it has anything to do with the number to start a game. I caught 2 gay/weak/lame noob stat padders the other day on the carrier in the Gulf of Oman doing the ammo cheat where they are both support guys, shoot a couple of rounds then give each other ammo. This system of 10 to start a game didn't stop them did it because the game was full with 32 players and they were still stat padding. We stopped them, we banned them.

Obviusly you can easily cheat stats in a full server, so tickets and numbers of players to start restrictions, only affect (very negatively) to legal players and servers (16 size maps with 100 tickets it´s a joke).
EA...thanks

http://forums.totalbf2.com/showthrea...t=13567&page=1 There's already a thread for this man and I totally agree with you. We have a ranked server, 32 player that needs 10 to start. Well I spose I have made my thoughts clear in that thread.

I will make this clear here as well though. All you guys saying whats the big deal, its to stop the stat padders, well I bet my left nut you don't pay for a Ranked Server and probably just mooch off others who do so I think your opinions mean nothing. Unless you actually pay for a Ranked server and pay to play you have no place commenting on this situation cause why would you care you can just hop from server to server, no skin of your back or money down the drain from your back pocket.

Hey at least you have people on your server!

We signed a year long lease on a server box a couple of months before the game dropped, and before everyone completely understood the ranked/unranked server deal. We literally signed the contract a few days before the developer interview that announced the Ranked server information.

Our $160 server box sits completely empty unless we have a scrim, practice or CAL match. We have to eat the cost because of the contract, or we pay a huge cancellation fee. Hopefully, our provider will soon be an authorized EA partner so it can be ranked.

Oh are you saying you got an Unranked server, if so I feel for ya man because we knew Unranked servers would be empty 24/7 and totally worthless thats why we never got an Unranked server.

Some do have it tougher. Is there any chance you can swap it for Ranked at all??

[signa]

fwiw, we lease a ranked server thru trinitygames.net and they give us the option of rebooting it into non-ranked anytime we want. it cost $155 / month for a 32 player server, although we have like 8 people pitching in.

also here are the ranked requirements:

sv.password = empty string (don't set password)
sv.numPlayersNeededToStart = (6 for maxPlayers 16, 10 for 32, 10 for 64)
sv.spawnTime 15
sv.manDownTime 15
sv.ticketRatio 100
sv.teamRatioPercent 100
sv.punkBuster 1

I pay $108 a month for a Ranked server, I have their BF2CC rcon client and the only thing I can do is change maps. If less than six players are in there, the server is useless. you cant start a game with less than six, I want to play on it with 2 or more but EA makes it so you cant. If im paying for a game then on top of that paying for a Ranked server I should be able to determine the amount of players it takes to start a game and make changes to the server. if EA wants to make it so that you need at least 6 to get stats that fine but at least allow us to play the game and cap flags. I shouldnt have to buy a ranked server to get my stats and get a seperate unranked server to play 2 player games. EA is just being a control nut, who are they to determine what the paying customer can do and what they cant do, if a person joins a server and they dont like the way its setup then they have the choice to leave.

If EA had listed all the rules they have imposed PLAINLY and not hidden them a in a load of jargon that people usually don't see or don't look for then maybe they wouldn't have so many people mad at them.

I couldnt agree more.. I sell ranked servers.. I gave EA their 10 minimum
server quota they required.. sold 10 ranked in a couple weeks, no problem,
now all 10 of my customers complain daily that they cannot get any activity
because the game NEVER starts, and people get tired of waiting and drop off.

EA are a bunch of idiots..who think their precious ranking system, and
unlock weapons are they greatest thing since sliced bread, and to keep
the 1% players who cheat or exploit their stats system they will punish the
rest of the 99% of us by instituting RIDICULOUS rules for ranked servers.

I will more than likely be dumping BF2 from my games list next billing cycle,
and sending EA a letter telling them where they can stick their game..
I know 2 other GSPs who sell way more servers than me who are also
considering dumping BF2 for this reason as well as the instability of the
game itself overall.

Of course, EA wont give a crap, they already got our money..and have no
business sense anyhow..
