I was on my server yesterday and I encountered a bizarre problem...
After all the silos were equally captured they stopped working.   All of their loading bars to fire were full but they did not do anything.  Players kept going back and forth capturing silos but none of them would fire.  I don't know of any other method of taking the shields down without the silos... I figured that this game was going to last forever.  Other players noticed it too.

Instead of restarting the server the players started a vote to change the map.  It successfully passed and another map was loaded.  About 10 minutes into the map the server crashed.  The same BF2 bug with the null vote going around kicking a non-existent player was present.  This is the kind of thing that should not happen in a fully released game.  Odd bugs like that need to be fixed.

This bug is terrible, sometimes its not all the silos its just 1 or 2 of them...thankfully alot of people dont press T to check the countdown and you can just defend the ones that are working

Interesting... what is this holding T down you speak of?

I generally only press T on the flag icon above a silo to defend/attack the silo.  I can kind of decipher the voiced Russian countdown, but this would indeed help!

Do you just hold T on that flag icon or on the silo itself?

Pressing T makes a little countdown timer appear below each of the five missile silo indicators (up where tickets are shown in conquest), showing how much time before launch. Check often, and capture the one with the least time remaining.

Had that happen to me. Only one silo was working... In the end of the round there was something like 200+ scores all around on the <tab> score list.

The kicking non existent players "Bug" isn't really a bug in many cases. I know a lot of servers that scroll fake kicking/ban messages to make people believe there might be an admin around so that people behave.

We don't have that type of messaging on our server...
I've gotten a message saying that I was removed from the game by default but I was still in the server playing.
