Sounds more like the teamspeak system where if you sell servers you have pay teamspeak a per slot cost. http://sales.teamspeakusa.com/pricing.php I'm doubting it's to cover the Windows 2008 server license at this point since RSPs could easily say that was the reason for the fee. Plus it would be a flat rate fee. It's starting to sound like BC2 and Black Ops again. Both shouted "we have dedicated servers" but left out the parts of no public server files, limited providers etc.

No idea where this came from but anyway

You can, it's a BF2 mod so it works fine.

Wasn't a smart move to require one server OS wither way. Glad I don't have to buy licenses for it. Ouch http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Software-Windows-Standard-Service/dp/B0050PJQIC/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1315599075&sr=8-13Buy 2 just in case

Technically it's still an EA thing for requiring Windows 2008 to begin with. Guess even the server needs the DirectX 10/11 components only found in Windows 2008 Server.

Sounds like PB is off http://www.pbbans.com/forums/ro2-dde-beta-pb-kicks-t146072.html

Others are charging it as well. Not sure what it's for. http://pastebin.com/vetejiQ7 Just sad that the "PC focused game" has no server files with possibly some sort of fee for RSP's while MW3 the console focused game has public server files, no server fees and LAN support. :dunno:

WHat is the kick message? You can use PB setup with RO2 now and there have been a few PB updates in the last day or so. http://www.pbbans.com/info-center-pbsetup.html#usingpbsetup

If you used one of our sample pbsv.cfg configs remove the pb_sv_task lines as it crashes the server (Should be fixed soon). We will support RO2 once a few PB bugs have been fixed. Also the automated streaming setup will be updated then too to support RO2. I have it coded but the task crash bug is what I'm waiting for a fix to before releasing it.

Microsoft must be happy requiring Windows 2008 Server. I have a gut feeling BF3 is going to fall short in the server department.

The only BF3 gametype I'm really interested in is TDM but with the 24 player cap and the rest of the limitations, I'm gonna see what MW3 offers. Leaked slides from CoD XP showed MW3 supports 32 players. PC may even support more.

MW3 will have public server files "just like MW1" and even LAN support. http://oneofswords.com/2011/08/mw3-supports-dedicated-servers-on-pc/ https://twitter.com/#!/CallofDuty/status/103990015993982976 http://twitter.com/#!/fourzerotwo/status/110502118787522560 BF3 will not have any and will be the same as Bad Company 2 http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/battlefield-3-pc/1419188-first-look-bf3-pc-game-servers.html Looking at server policies from both games I'm starting to take more interest in MW3 over BF3.

Ryan did them for a lot of games. Not sure what he is working on these days. http://icculus.org/ RO2 may not have them on release but there is hope giving Tripwires track record.

What annoys me are people that think VAC didn't work well because MW2 never had dedicated servers. Well duh, the reason games with dedicated servers has less cheaters is because server admins are banning more of them. But even that fails without a way to easily share bans. A cheater joins a VAC server, you ban him then he joins another server and cheats again. No real punishment while his cheat is undetected from VAC. Also Homefront has dedicated servers and look how that ended up. VAC doesn't change because they move from P2P to dedicated servers. If Tripwire can use VAC and PB then no reasons others can't. Best of both worlds.
