I don't think it can due to the fact of EA/DICE not releasing server files to the public. I think the only opition is to rent from licensed rentaillers.

Arghh. Why do they do this kind of stuff?! I'm sure there would be a lot more servers and players if they allowed people to run their own. And since most of these games have stats and that's what EA is worried about, they should make it so that if you alter any of the files then it becomes unranked.

It's supposedly to prevent the pirating of the game, and/or to prevent the creation of cracked game servers so that the pirate is not rewarded with access to online gameplay. Just another redicculus ploy to limit content.

True but you usually do an "Edit...found it." type of a modification.  How was the lag - connection problems, or just regular?  At least the European players are getting a better ping.

I was just messing with you... It was my connection as always.

And no... I said "if I still don't find it I'll let you know". No reason to add another 1kb in text to the forums hard drive with a edit. So now I have added another 2kb to point out to you what I would/wouldn't have done. Noob.

So what's in the quote is about 3kb?
