"Ranked server providers are back and this is the only way you can run a server, ranked or unranked. In unranked mode server admins have the ability to chose which weapons are unlocked for players, a feature useful for many competitive matches. One feature that was broken in BFBC2 was the ability to for Punkbuster to take player screenshots. Many will be happy to know this has been fixed in BF3. "

So unless we want to up the donations, we won't be getting a BF3 server.

*sigh*

Lol, I guess the donations won't get higher, they hardly reach the 300$/month since last month...

I never did hold out on the whole server dedication that they had for BF2..well at least they didn't take the 64 man part away >_>

Lets just hope they don't do something similar with CS:GO -- the whole matchmaking thing has me kind of worried

Oh god I am not the only one.

I worry that they'll skip a server release or worse yet give out one that has downs syndrome.

Oh, nono. They'll have dedicated servers, but they can't be ran privately.

you have to rent one, much like BC2.

Im sure we can get enougho f us on the side to donatel ike 10 bucks a month if that fora BF3 server.

Maybe..but we're having a hard enough time getting the n00bfest donation goal each month

I'd chip in money for a bf3 server... or just do what I do now and troll kids until we get banned.

We might be able to get some kind of sponsorship deal too -- or maybe grab a promotion that includes a free vent server and save money that way. I guess it'd just depend on how many n00bs would actually play the game. It's simple to setup a server for a random game (like PVK) even if only a few of us play it -- but to invest in renting a server from a random company, I think we'd need some serious interest.

Agreed. I know Gman, Lone_Mortal and myself already have the game pre-ordered as I'm sure a few other folks do too.

I'm getting it too, so count me in! Wanna touch butts in another game!
