I will manage my words but this is completely useless.
Already ranked server are restricted much and are not customizable enough, no custom maps like counter-strike, the only thing I get when I rent a ranked server is a little rectangle to put my banner which doesnt work 75% of the times, all the about same 20 maps and the harassment of server bug (commander hacks, frequent crash by "BACK TO DESKTOP NOW!", name spoofing).
Do you think, Electronic Arts, by restricting the server files, that this will reduce the number of bugs found on your server daemon?
These files could be leaked on the internet (bittorrent network, p2p, etc...) with or without complicity, at this point the restriction is useless.
Punks could find bug like the one found on bf2, with or without leaked server files
How about administratives tools you've never made for bf2, will bf2bc get a (good) admin tool?
All I've seen with bf2 is not enough to get my trust, clearly, in my opinion, DICE's priority is not the branding quality.
