I'm not sure how to read that.   Perhaps.   In any event, I wouldn't 
worry about it.   The leagues will base off of the game as it's played 
on public servers, so without the unlocked items.   On EA servers those 
who absolutely have to play with the ranking system can deal with the 
rampant teamkilling and mass chaos that has always been associated with 
EA's servers.

The real gamers, clans, and leagues will still play on GSP-hosted 
servers just like any other FPS.   I wouldn't expect to see any change. 
   Keep in mind the requirements to run a server are pretty high, and 
are usually out of the affordability range of the average 15 yr old. 
EA's servers will be a success, but the quality play will still happen 
on the public GSP hosted boxes.

No worries, guys.
