[bf1942] BF2 server query issues / bugs

[Andreas Andersson]

I had a talk with the local gamespy-programmer.

This is what the local gamespy-programmer told-me.

1. 
He didn't know what this was, there might very well be a bug in there
somewhere. He would look into it.

2.
The ping-entry entry has been removed recently.

3.
He would look into this, it's most likely a bug.

4.
The team-info will most likely be removed in the near future.

Thanks for your invaluable input!

/Andreas

Thought I'd create a new thread for these issues
1. Player details have an "unknown" attribute with value 2
2. Player ping is always 0
3. Server can report -1 players
4. Team names don't seem right "Team 1" and "Team 2"?

Example outputs:
