June 15, 200520 yr I was playing on the server a bit with some others (4 guys) and the game ended when the timer was at 0... Did you guys put the time limit back?
June 15, 200520 yr Yes, because according to EA, we were in violation of EULA statement that came with the server files. See here for more: EA Community Update TFD
June 15, 200520 yr Can't you guys just keep the fun in the server and instead keep advertising here? With this community alone you can fill it (usually see only regulars anyway) and if the community brings a couple friends, they save the ip and whammo, always full. (The people who join from server list are always the TKing jackasses anyway.)

June 15, 200520 yr they didnt ban it before, why would they start now? just dont advertise it and it will be fine, please :cool:
June 15, 200520 yr they didnt ban it before, why would they start now? just dont advertise it and it will be fine, please :cool: I know it's so stupid. Technically we're not allowed to change the server name either.. Might as well keep everyone's names "Player" while we're at it.
June 15, 200520 yr ugh after playing with, and without the timelimit, with the timelimit on, it feels like you can do barely anything. And there just doesn't seem to be a reason to join a squad if any advances you do have to be made in 12 minutes
June 15, 200520 yr EA realy sucks. Just don't buy the game. I cannot wait to see how many of the Million or so copies presold get returned b/c of hardware issues. I hope it is 1/3. As I have said before. Look at the Valve survey on who plays with what and has what in their home computer. You really need a computer bought within a year or so to play this game. gg EA.
June 15, 200520 yr I'm definately buying the game, no doubt about it. I just wish I could change the server time limit for the demo. I don't want to wait for the game.
June 15, 200520 yr EA realy sucks. Just don't buy the game. Agreed. If EA is going to run BF2 like this, then count me out. I'd much rather play a game made by Valve - they have turned into a very community friendly company.
June 15, 200520 yr Agreed. If EA is going to run BF2 like this, then count me out. I'd much rather play a game made by Valve - they have turned into a very community friendly company. you're being harshEA won't enforce this 12 minute time limit on the retail edition, it's only for the demo. The fact is, if they do decide to bully down on private servers, you can easily fight back. If you're paying for a server, for a game you bought, you have to right to do what you want with the server for the game YOU bought. EA does suck, but I can understand why they're enforcing these restrictions on the demo...basically so everyone can get the same playing experiance, and thus draw better conclusions. The only thing that is getting my kind of frustrated is the ranking thing. But you don't really need to worry about that either. A community made server-side mod will be released that will connect private servers to the rank system will come out. That's my prediction anyway
June 15, 200520 yr Author We just spread the idea that playing on EA servers is not cool, and that you are a "insert random disgracing word here" if you do. Only private servers have skilled players. That works most of the time :cool:
June 16, 200520 yr HL2 and Steam may be pesky at time with updates but Sharp is right. They are VERY mod friendly compared to EA right now. My vote is for Valve. Imagine a Steam based BF2 game of the same scope and idea. Hopefully FA2 or a similar mod can come close.
