"man sudo"

In my /etc/sudoers I have this line:

apache  ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/service bf2*

This says that user apache can issue the command "/sbin/service bf2*" (the 
"*" is a wildcard to indicate that anything can follow that on the line). 
The command will run as root and no password will be prompted for. The user 
apache must issue the command exactly as specified:

sudo /sbin/service bf2 start
sudo /sbin/service bf2 stop

I think what you want is the same but with root replaced by whatever user 
runs the game server. You can use an alias there and then define the alias 
earlier in the file as the list of game server users.
