[bf1942] Anyone have a popular non-ranked server?

Are you blind or just drunk? To become a "trusted provider" you have to fire
up 10 16-slot servers for the gaming community. Then for every 10 servers
you sell you have to fire up another one. ALL to the benefit of EA's ranked
server system. Personally, I think that having individual stats in a
team-based game is completely destructive to the environment of the game.
We've got snipers sitting outside of spawn, chopper pilots hovering over
spawns and nobody is trying to take a flag to win the map. You call that
good gameplay? How about the beautiful little mod that DC had that would
kill you if you entered the opponent's main base for more than 5-10 seconds?
How about make the ranked servers have their own little world and let the
modding communities and custom maps be run ONLY on unranked servers where
players want to WIN and not just pad their "ranked" scores.

Wait a minute. Didn't somebody say EA doesn't profit from the ranked server 
program?
