Ok guys, potentially bad news about BF1 Server

[Cain]

I'm hearing that admins for BF1 will have even LESS control over their servers than before.

If this is true, I won't be running a BF1 server......

That having been said I'm seriously considering bringing back CS:GO.... We had a lot of fun playing it and met some great folks......

Also, CS:GO costs half as much to run a server, and it has a lot of customizability.....

Stay tuned gang!

I'm hearing that admins for BF1 will have even LESS control over their servers than before.

During BF4, we speculated that EA didn't want any non-EA ranked servers. At least they still tolerate custom game servers, but those servers are only a solution for a larger community.

If we don't have our own server:
We can still join on our friends. Everybody will be playing (except Rand. ).
We can debate designating a reliable, lag-free server as our hobo home base.
We'll continue waiting for the future release of a new, mega-multiplayer game that meets our needs.
and, Cain will have more free time to shoot the enemy.

EA has gone full retard. Nobody should ever go full retard.

Lol Cobalt. That's the funniest thing I've seen this week, but sadly true.

Apparently EA does not want any server to have any control at all.

Running a community server is more than just the game, it is having a place to play with your friends and eliminating the jerks, cheaters, bully's, racists, sexists that are allowed to run rampant everywhere else!!

You folks know that BF4 was a painful experience for me being forced to ignore all the crap and jerks that would have never been allowed to participate in a Cains Lair server at any time in the past.

I spent the day with my dear friend Sirex and we called Apache and chatted quite a while.

It became clear to me that what makes any game more fun is killing and dying with your friends. It also made it clear to me that we will be better off running a fun game like CS:GO where we have custom maps, very cool plugins, stats and complete control over the players rather than running another buggy, glitchy BF game that requires a modern expensive PC to play, costs twice as much to run the server, and ties our hands regarding control.

Stay tuned folks !
