Brandon Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Brandon, Is it true that only RSP's will be able to host un-ranked servers for this game? I'm not quite sure, but from what I see all servers will be Ranked unless passworded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proclan Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 The theory about leaking files/info is the same with any business not just game providers. It's a chance you take, as far as limiting ranked providers that concept also has limitations/flaws also. For one there are clans/communities that are not happy with some of the current providers and will probably not purchase a server for that reason. To maximize there game sales they should reconstruct there ranked platform on allowing as many providers as possible. The argument more providers more work is not that hard when most of the work involves emails, the files are the same for everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Derek, where did you get these numbers? I don't think they are accurate. Speaking with man in charge of the ranked program so I would hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 This isn't necessarily true, it seems that there may be a couple small GSP's on the BC2 list this time around. However they may or may not be offering territories that others aren't. EA's direction to limit RSP's is no different from Ventrilo's. They've learned that they don't need to have 180 ranked partners, customers will still rent a server from one of the 40 partners if they really want a server. It's less work on their part and less likely that a leak will occur. It's a shame that it's gone this way and I really don't see it changing in the future. There are no small providers in North Amercia or UK on that list. The only small hosts are the ones that have a small game server market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I would assume that EA would want to expand their global market by brining on providers in countries that have no EA/DICE presence at the moment. Remember that EA/DICE are "for profit" companies and are looking to make the $$$s just like the rest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, like Brazil where they don't have any hosts and there is like a 400 post thread on the ea forums about it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGN-Daniel Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Apply for a ventrilo license now or within the next few months. Flagship might consider your BFBC2 ranked status as a good indicator of stability/trustworthiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
