Correction: I'm referring to restrictions with BF2 ranked servers --<br>
assuming that BFBC2 will be the same. COD4 ranked servers could easily<br>
be switched to modded without any issue.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

In the case of CoD 4... modded servers were filtered out by default. So the<br>
only people who ever saw modded servers as part of their "choice" were the<br>
people who figured out that changing their filters would allow them to see<br>
something more than the "default" ranked servers. <br>

History shows different. Most players prefer ranked servers. :)<br>

Yes but only because everyone wants to inflate their ego's with useless stats. If a mod was good enough I'm sure the real players would skip the ranked servers and play the mod.<br>

The ranked system discourages modding and customizing.<br>

If they don't like the rank system just don't play on ranked servers.<br>
<br>
Good luck getting anywhere with the ranked servers, they tend to only allow the large/bad GSP's to host servers.<br>

Problem is I'm hearing it's Windows servers only and using the same ranked system that most modders disliked.<br>

Are any GSP's seeing access or have info on the BFBC2 server hosting program with EA?<br>

Betreff: Re: [cod] Comparison<br>
<br>
I'm sure the sales stats will be well down.<br>
<br>
The knife twist is that they'll just blame it on the economy; but<br>
then BFBC2 will come out in March with full dedi support and all of<br>
the former COD4 players become BF players.<br>
<br>
Listen to last weeks Bash and Slash; this is very promising.<br>

Epic fail for IW.<br>
Here in the UK, the normal RSP was 44-45 GBP.<br>
Today is release day, and I can get it from Morrisons for 25.99, or<br>
even cheaper from Makro for 17 GBP + VAT<br>
