    How much will it cost to rent a dedicated server for Battlefield Bad Company 2? Because these are offered by the trusted partners we can't answer that, but they will be priced fairly according to your market.

    Can I control my server with remote admin tools? Yes, you will have the ability manage your server via remote admin tools allowing you to manage your server, your way.

    Is there the option to give my server a custom name? Yes, you'll be able to name your server what you like.

    Am I able to host a private match? Yes, you will be able to password protect your server.

    Is there a client server browser to view server lists? Yes, clients on the PC will have a full server's browser to select the server they'd like to play on.

    Can I earn ranks and rewards on my rented server? Yes! You will be able to run your server as Ranked allowing you to still earn unlocks, rewards, and host a server for all to enjoy.

    Are PC clients going to be match made to servers? No, PC clients will use their server browser and filter options.

    Will you have an anti-cheat requirement? Yes, all dedicated servers and clients on PC will be required to have the anti-cheat software running at all times.

    With the fallout over the MW2 no dedicated server bomb, this might get some people to drop MW2 and hop on the BFBC2 train.

    Seems like Dice are milking this at the moment due to the debacle going on at Activision and Infinity Ward.

    Good luck to them.

    Am starting to look forward to BC2.

    I guess they will be using punkbuster again?

          Can you blame them? ... i cannot blame them at all...

          Personally i am looking forward to BFBC2 on both platforms, since even on PS3 and XboX they are using dedicated servers :salute:

          Gordon got his start as a mod developer so i am sure he knows the importance of Dedicated servers .....

          these guys ROK <---- ya gotta be old school to get that one LOL

                  LOL! As if they're is enough questions about dedicated servers to warrant a FAQ.

                      Right, so did anyone actually learn anything from this?

                      IW dropped dedicated server support. Did everyone suddenly forget what they were?

                        They are milking the whole IW situation, but why wouldn't they? It's an awesome time to do some advertising and get word out

                          how can a server that cost over $200 in 2005 now go for $60 in 2009? since I am a rocket scientist, thats how EA makes their money.
