I am making this thread, simply so that people can either agree with me, disagree with me or POST THEIR OWN ISSUES WITH THE GAME!!!!

My brother has a ranked server that he used as infantry only and no commanders, so that people could fight with guns, like the good old days, without having to worry about getting 'Cartilleried' or artilleried everywhere you go.....you could have a full game that involved SWAT like tactics, such as hiding in buildings to avoid enemy fire, holding stalemates with the opposition and actaully using squad tactics to take out the enemy, unlike most other servers.

This server was shut down by EA, because according to them it is...'a way for players to gain an unfair advantage over other players'

HOW?!?!?! Everyone is doing the same thing!

If they are refering to gaining combat badges etc...through playing on that server then all i can say in response to that is...'WHATS A BADGE?!'   a badge is merely 'bragging rights' AND YOU HAVE TO BE GOOD IN ORDER TO GAIN THE BADGES ANYWAY!!!

ON ANY OTHER SERVER YOU CAN GAIN THESE BADGES THROUGH SIMPLY BEING A COMMANDER OR USING TANKS TO GET THE KILLS.

ON OTHER SERVERS YOU CAN SIT IN A TANK, HELICOPTER, CAR, PLANE, TOW, STINGER ETC WITHOUT ACTUALLY USING IT FOR 10 MINUTES AND GET THE BADGES FOR EACH OF THEM, AND YET EA GET PISSED OFF ABOUT OUR SERVER?!?!?!?! IN MY HUMBLE OPINION...THAT MAKES NO SENSE!

Some more RIDICULOUS rules are...

'''''DO NOT USE HOTEL WALL GLITCH'''''...........i've got an idea!!! why dont they FIX THE WALL GLITCH!!!!!

I don't use the wall glitch but you can't ban people for taking advantage of your SHODDY SOFTWARE!!!!!

'''''DO NOT LOCK SERVERS, ALL SERVERS MUST BE PUBLIC'''''.........I personally have never used a 'locked server' before....but in my opinion, if someone shells out 200 bucks a month, then they should be allowed to decide who comes in and who doesn't!!!! this now means that NO-ONE can have a 'CLAN ONLY' fight, as the server MUST be open to anyone, all of the time!!!!!

'''''ALL SERVERS TO BE MINIMUM 16 PLAYERS'''''.........Another way of stopping clans having fun together!

'''''SPAWNTIME MUST BE 15 SECONDS'''''
'''''MAN DOWN TIME MUST BE 15 SECONDS'''''
'''''TICKET RATIO MUST BE 100'''''
'''''TK PUNISH MUST BE ON OR AUTO...IT CAN NOT BE OFF'''''

They are a few more rules to take all power away from the people who PAY FOR THE SERVER!!!

So, in closing, all i am saying is that i believe that, instead of spoiling everybodys fun by closing servers and taking all control away from administrators, who pay for the server. They should concentrate more on fixing their shoddy, crashing, glitching, computer crashing software and LET THE ADMINISTRATERS HAVE CONTROL OVER WHAT THEY PAY FOR!!!

$200 PER MONTH IS A LOT OF MONEY TO SHELL OUT, JUST TO BE DICTATED TO BY A GUSTAPO LIKE COMPANY!!!!!

They need to fix:--

the kick to desktop glitch!
the random crashes!
the fact that aimbot can be used!
the cheat that allows people to shoot you from the other side of the map!
'Cartillery'!
the ability to artillery uncaps!

Thats just to name a few!!!

WE HAVE BEEN WAITING NEARLY 2 YEARS FOR EA TO MAKE 1 PIECE OF SOFTWARE THAT DOESN'T DESTROY OUR COMPUTERS, AND INSTEAD ALL WE GET IS OUR RIGHTS TAKEN AWAY AND PUNISHED!!!

EA is pathetic!

Thankyou for reading.

These are just for ranked servers, you can do whatever you want on unranked servers...

the reason people play BF2 online is because it is different to all other first person shooters!

It allows you to gain ranks, its like a pat on the back as if to say 'well done'.

Unranked servers are much cheaper than Ranked ones, so dont you think that you should have the same rights on a ranked server if YOU shell out the $200 a month? After all, you are paying more than you would for an unranked server, just to have your rights taken away from you.

So let me get this straight you signed up on bf2s to have a hissy fit thread cause ea has rules you must agree to for you to play the game and all of the sudden you dont want to follow the rules? Sorry a contract is a contract you cant follow it they can do whatever they want to your server and you have no control over it.

2 years? The game came out barely 1 year ago. Anyway, they only do this stuff because if they didn't regulate the ranked servers heavily, people would be screaming about their stats day & night. If you don't like their rules, don't sponsor a ranked server or don't play this game.

They probably should have worded their reason for shutting down your server better, although you were violating their ROE. What they probably mean was, it's a way for players to get an unfair advantage in their stats against other players on servers that are actually following the rules. If you don't want to follow the ROE, see the paragraph above for your options.

I'm with you on the crappy response to bug fixes though. Some of these things have been a problem for a long time now and are much more important than adding vehicle drops or another map.

Finally, where's that guy with the "caps lock is cruise control for cool" quote?

Just remember the crucial words of the REAL James Taylor -

Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?
People can be so cold.
They'll hurt you and desert you.
Well they'll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but don't you let them

It sounds like you're the only one who had to pay for anything related to BF2. Do you think DICE just said "yeah we'll make a game for EA for free"? Hell no.

when i said 2 years i included 1942........EA bring out new games before they finish the origional!!!!

Nobody goes to the EA site to give positive feedback on their games....the only reason people go to that site is to either complain about shoddy coding, or to download another computer breaking patch!!! its stupid!!!

What is the world coming to when you have to wait for MONTHS after buying a game for the developers to bring out a patch, only to find that you get even more problems!!!





I have no problem with following rules!!! i just feel that living in a democracy, companys should run their servers like a democracy...THIS IS A DICTATORSHIP! So in effect, administrators are shelling out $200 PER MONTH to look after EAs severs because they are too lazy to do it themselves!!!


IF YOU RENTED A HOUSE AND THE LANDLORD GAVE YOU RULES LIKE 'DONT DESTROY THE HOUSE' YOU WOULD BE OK WITH THAT!

BUT IF THEY SAID YOU HAD TO:-

BE IN BY 10

LIGHTS OUT AT 11

HAVE NO PEOPLE COME TO THE HOUSE

EAT AT 7AM, 11AM AND 6PM

YOU CAN ONLY EAT BREAD

YOU CAN ONLY DRINK MILK

YOU CANT WEAR HATS

YOU CANT CLEAN YOUR TEETH

YOU CAN'T SIT DOWN ON A TUESDAY

YOU CANT SPEAK BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 11AM AND 3PM

ETC...

ETC..

YOU WOULD BE PISSED ABOUT THAT!

THE FACT IS THAT THIS GAME IS BRILLIANT! A LAND MARK IN FPS!!!

BUT THEY ARE PUTTING SO MANY RESTRICTIONS THAT ALL SERVERS ARE NOW IDENTICAL AND THE FUN HAS UNFORTUNATLY GONE......

Ok, but EA released the game. They can do whatever they want with it. And if you don't like the ROE turn your server to unranked.

Pretty much ever one of your complaints has previously been acknowledged and discussed. I suggest you go find those post and add your sentiments there instead of starting all over.

Secondly, stop shouting. Angry, loud, obnoxious people don't accomplish things, they just hurt the ears of the people who *are* effecting change.

So I'm going to close this one out.

This is not a dictatorship, it is capitalism. If you are unsatisfied with the product that EA has released then you as a consumer have the freedom to choose to play another game to fulfill your entertainment needs. There are plenty of other FPS games out there, pick one.

Then please for the love of god follow the rules of the English language and of these forums and start properly formulating sentences and use appropriate punctuation.
