There were 28 servers, 1 ranked 24 player server and one 8 player server (wtf? statpadding server?)
So I joined the one with the lowest ping and a free space (all the servers were pretty much full).
I dont remember last time I had so much fun on bf2, dolphin diving enough that Volx would be jealous, throwing C4 like frizbees, racking up the points from black hawk flag hopping (I managed to get a squad together and do this, we all got over 150 points - the server was running 500 tickets!) and getting the "OMGZ UR HACKIN" from the noobs who havent patched up.
Soloing in choppers got a few "omgzz cheat!!" I just laughed it off and got on with it. It was fun, but felt like something was missing, not being ranked it felt like the game wasnt complete.
After nearly 500 hours of ranked servers, 64 privates running around was just weird. I felt...I felt incomplete!
Anyhoo, I've patched up to 1.12 and will try that out. Hopefully there will be a few ranked servers about with low enough ping for me to play on, cause since 1.2 I've not had enough fun as I'd of liked.
If you have the time, I suggest you try it. It's refreshing.
