Without ranks, you wouldn't have to worry about stat-padding, won't have to worry about getting your account reset, won't have to worry about someone spoofing your account and jacking it up a 4-star. Really the only point to spoof then would to try to get players alias banned, then have them banned from servers run by uneducated/uninformed admins.

I wouldn't put a lot of money on DICE to do the right thing here. It only took them what, 2 years to put out patch 1.50. Which fixed a "few" bugs, and completely changed the game-play with prone-deviation. Still didn't fix squad bugs (kind of hard to use teamwork, when you can't make squads), still didn't fix hit detection (maybe improved a little, but not enough). These problems will probably never get fixed because I don't expect a patch 1.51.

Was really looking forward to BC2, but I'm worried that DICE is going to do everything in it's power, to screw up what could have been a great-game.

And here comes the "balance" reasons like IW did with MW2

Quote

@pekhe The FOV is built for the ideal experience, we want all players to experience the same FOV especially in MP for balance.

Welp, in my impatience, I just went with a Crysis Wars server for my "new" game. I can't wait around for these devs to keep screwing up PC gaming as we knew it. I Still run COD4 and WAW servers, but I am growing weary of those and getting sick of letdown after letdown from these game companies. I'm sure Medal of Honor will be a letdown in some way when it comes out in the fall, and Treyarch will screw up COD 7 in the future too. Maybe they will have Treyarch.net instead of IW.net. Screw em all.

Having a different FOV for different players is a balance issue. I've played lots of pc and I don't feel the fov is restricted.

There's the "balance" word again. Seems game devs are not building games we want but the ones they want and you will play on their terms. With the way PC gaming is going, you may as well buy an Xbox cause games now a days are just ports anyway.

Man if you walked into a retail store and they told you what you want and didn't listen to you, how long would they be in business.

Not long to be sure. But, how many people complained about MW2? Just about everybody, yet it has an unbelievable amount of people playing it, and sales were thru the roof for PC. These companies know that people will still buy them no matter what they impose into the game. I can't see EA or Activision ever having to go the route General Motors did and crawl on their knees to the government for a bailout, lol. And yeah, balance? Just another word for dictate to the consumer what they want. Time for a new hobby.

Squad Rush

The new video on the site giving details of the new multiplayer mode Squad Rush, it looks good I just hope they don't use the same kind of voting system on public servers (I use that term loosely) as they do on L4D as they are the biggest bunch of elitists I've ever had the unfortunate pleasure to play alongside/against, kicked for absolutely no reason whatsoever sometimes.

Interestingly enough

PC dedicated servers have file access locked aside from 3 config files: the main server ini (Not alot of settings there), the mapcycle file (Only one map in the beta though) and the slot reservation config.

Right now, for the beta, the slot amount is limited to 32, although we just found a way to crank it up. We'll do some tests on this in the following days.

am quite saddened to hear about the lack of pbbans streaming support for BC2. The =SM= clan was an old BF2 clan, who finally closed up our servers because of the cheats and namehacking. We would probably left much sooner if it wasn't for the streaming.

By locking the server files down, it appears Dice are trying the time-honoured fail of security through obscurity.

From a hack site :P

Quote

It seems they are using a similar engine to the BF2/2142 Engine. They have ClPlayer, and ClPlayerManager

You also have things like clientSoliderEntity->Weapon/Kit. From there there is a structure which I have not reversed yet.

Guess that explains the BF2 like movement. Frostbite is based off the BF2 engine.

I predicted before the beta came out that it would be released on Thursday and hacks would be released by the weekend.

Another one has these notes:

This hack includes following features:
* Nametags
* Healthbars
* Removes nametags/healthbars distance check
* Icons on the 3D map
* Minimap icons

Had to bring it up for the people who think keeping all the server files private would stop the hacks.

The only thing keeping server files private did was piss off the pbbans community.
