What do all the filters mean? At the left of the server name what are all the signs mean. And any other explaning. Thanks
I don't know what EVERYTHING means, but I'll tell you what I DO know.
- Major symbol you wanna look for is the little rank badge next to the server name. It means it's a ranked server (gives you points towards unlocks and promotions).
- The filters are also pretty important. The main filters you usually put on are "Punkbuster's", the rank sign, and now with the 1.4 patch, you can toggle IO on and off (labelled 'No Vehicles').
That's all I really know, I'm not much with the 'inner workings' of BF2 lol. Hope I helped.

How bout the bars on the left of the server names? Sometimes I see red, sometimes green and sometimes a yellow triangle candy looking type of icon. What do they mean?
Yeah, I would love someone to tell me that too... I always guessed it to be like, server demand or something.nonexistentusmc wrote:

The load on the server, if it's red, there is a lot of traffic, if it's green, it's low traffic, which usually results in less server lag. But don't look at it too much, it's often red.ViCT0RI0US wrote:

The green screen is whether the server has battlerecorder or not. The colored bars next to the type of server represents server load, but you don't need to pay attention to that. Most Linux servers will always show green and most windows servers will always show red.
But Linux servers are better, right?
Honestly, I've seen no difference between the two. I don't pay attention to the server type or server load when I join a game.Choumichel wrote:

I believe that this means that is is a dedicated server vs locally hosted from a client machine.Sl1mx64 wrote:

oh, and with the filters, clicking them and getting the X, means it will only show you servers that match that box.
E.G, and X in ranked servers, will only show ranked servers. In case thats what you were asking in your first post.
