Reducing server bandwidth would probably entail rewriting the networking
code and maybe other parts of the engine...but I haven't looked closely at
it, this is just an assumption about how things generally work.
This is something for DICE to do, not me...I imagine they are aware of
bandwidth usage and thinking of ways to reduce it.
