Re: EA Crackdown

It is kind of BS though Scoobing. I mean like some people have said.. We pay for the game and the server, yet we cant even do SOME things on UnRANKED Server

Re: EA Crackdown

Yeah, I agree, it's not a fantastic setup they have going here.

Re: EA Crackdown

It isn't i agree but one would have thought one could do what one wants with one's own game and server without the fear of having one's stats reset.

Re: EA Crackdown

Well stats is one area they want to have as much control over as possible in order to police the system better.

I dont mind that like cracking down on point farming and blackhawk whoring but why control the entire server?

Re: EA Crackdown

But when people purchased the ranked servers from EA they knew full well that EA would not allow the servers to be modified in any way. Wasn't this clearly stated from the start? So people knew what they were getting into.

You buy a ranked server and the only thing you can edit is the map cycle, I knew this from the release.

Hold on then why are Ranked server SO MUCH more expensive then unranked? Why should I pay more for a server that I can't even admin the way I want? I mean I can go and play on ranked server but when I pay for my ranked server I want to have some control...

Re: EA Crackdown

It's a good question, and I don't have an answer. :)

Re: EA Crackdown

I do think ti's a step in the right direction regarding GAMEPLAY, BUT everyone knows that the the Stat point systemm is total BS. You get 500 points and you're a Corporal, after that it's LAnce Corporal, right? You get there after 1000 points and you unlock a weapon , right?

BUT THEN, its like 10,000 points or something to get to the next rank!

AND, certain Awards and Ribbons you WILL NEVER, EVER SEE!!!!

The criteria for getting these awards are ludicrous at best!

So, in a way I sympathize and kind of condone those who lock their server and stat pad, hell, how else will you EVER get those ranks and medals and unlocks????
Not even if you play EVERY DAY for 10 -15 hours straight will you get these awards and unlocks, it will take YEARS AND YEARS.

Frankly, from this standpoint, yes, this IS total BullF*&^%($S2!

Re: EA Crackdown

PLaying mmorpgs is a good example to bring into this. Not only do you pay for the game but you also pay to keep playing. Pretend every character is a server. Each character cannot run around and do w/e they want in this virtual world, i.e. kill random people. As stated above, "They agree to the terms". A few weeks ago there was a post about certain rules ranked servers had to abide by. I think everyone who plays this game is smart enough to know whether or not you're giving people an advantage in getting stats.

I'm not saying u should give people advantages but I think people how buys servers should be able to do with them what they want with no guidlines. Its just another gov't cospiracy to control our minds!!! Or they might just want more control over the servers. Who knows?

Re: EA Crackdown

You guys should get someone from EA to come down here and answer all of these questions. I don't point farm but I have been on server where you PLAY with just pistols and knives it's not set up where you kill the dude and the other guy revives it's where you go in there and just use those guns and people go around and revive and they get killed noone stops shoting the guy. I mean they have no right to do that and I know that even tho they are going to bust down servers people are still going to go in regular ranked server and do it they will do it for 5 min then play regular then do it again no one is giong to be able to tell that they are point farming
