[bf1942] Not ready for prime time

[cuban]

Again,

My method in handling this is to not support EA or dICE by not buying
any future products. I won't purchase Road to Rome, I won't buy anything
branded EA, hell I won't even download the new Aberdeen map.

Before I purchased this game I looked around on EA's website to BE SURE
there was a *nix server. It promised one, and [to me] they still have
not delivered. The server in its current state is far from production
deployment. Hell with a bug this bad, I'd hardly call it a playable
beta. 

If the fix (or attempted fix) isn't release by this weekend, I'm pulling
all my BF1942 servers and will no long support anything branded EA or
dICE.

This is just my two cents; do not flame me, I will not respond.

I run a single BF1942 server alongside multiple Tribes 2 servers, 3 
TeamSpeak servers, email, web, FTP, and forums. The BF1942 server is the

least stable and is a constant source of irritation to the non-BF1942
users 
because of its instability. I tried Coop mode the other day and brought
the 
box to its knees, dropping all the TeamSpeak clients for a minute or two

before I got a shell prompt back and could kill it. Not good.
