If I'm correct he means that you have to wait for 10 people to get on
the server to be capable of even capturing a flag or have the
"round-stats" (not ranked stats) account for kills/etc made.<br>
<br>
And I do think, actually I'm quite sure of it, that it is possible to
remove that "the game will start when x more player(s) join"-message
and let people play _unranked_ as long as there aren't x players on the
server. Which would be an acceptable (read highly apreciated)
alternative to me (and many others).<br>
<br>
And the fact that it is possible and very easy to implement this
"feature" but hasn't been implemented anyway is the cause that I rarely
play BF2 anymore and DO NOT intent to buy the expansion pack. (I'm
proud to tell that I can't even recall the name of it <span

<br>
Just as a side note I do not blame any employee or department of either
EA or DICE. However I do blame those two organisations as a whole.<br>
