Hunter~SPARTA~ Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 So I heard him start talking about server tools about 1:55... but couldn't tell if he was saying the tools were only for the "e-sports" tournaments or if they were going to be for everyone. Anyone know more about that aspect? - JHunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know more about that aspect? - JHunter I'm pretty sure what he was talking about is available to everybody. Like BC2, I think with BF3 you'll only be able to rent "BF3-approved" servers so you won't be able to host on a machine of your choosing. But I think they're putting in a lot more effort to give server-owners more tools and options than with BC2. My team had to get a lot of third-party software and mods to do some pretty basic things in BC2 for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster90 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) Yeah, just as I suspected. Same as BC2. Luckily, the RSP's they offered were reasonably priced and ran lag-free. Not the cheapest, but not horribly overpriced either. My clan is getting a machine that will host our Mumble and a 50+ player server and another smaller server for clan matches for about $100 a month. Not bad. Two encouraging highlights though: "Ranked vs Unranked One of the biggest choices which a server administrator has to make is, whether to run the server in Ranked or Unranked mode. In Ranked mode, player progression is tracked on EAs master servers. Weapons are unlocked by playing the game. Player progression is also visible on Battlelog. The server administrators will have to abide by the Battlefield Rules of Engagement. In Unranked mode, player progression is not tracked on the master servers. Server administrators have free reign on such servers – no Battlefield Rules of Engagement to heed. They can control in detail which weapons are available to the players, etc. This mode is suited to playing clan matches, tournaments, or to those players who just like the fairness of everyone having the same range of weapons available to them." "Server administration interface BF3 will support a Remote Administration interface similar to that of BFBC2. The basic protocol will be the same, but commands differing a bit. There is a plethora of tools available that can talk to the remote admin interface. We are in contact with several of the developers who created tools for BFBC2, and will aid them in adding support for BF3. If you have developed a BFBC2 remote admin tool which is popular (used on >100 game servers), send me a PM. The protocol itself is still under constant revision. Expect the protocol to be published by the time that the retail game is released." Edited August 30, 2011 by Rooster90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalXen~SPARTA~ Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 In Unranked mode, player progression is not tracked on the master servers.

They can control in detail which weapons are available to the players, etc. This mode is suited to playing clan matches, tournaments, or to those players who just like the fairness of everyone having the same range of weapons available to them." BTW, this DICE statement can be misleading. In BFBC2, what this meant is that the server admin could take away certain weapons from being used, it didn't mean that all weapons were unlocked and could be used if you haven't unlocked them in your ranked profile. So for many, this is the driving force between having a ranked/unranked server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster90 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Correct. But most tournament clans grind the game until they've unlocked everything before entering into any ladders anyway. And there are obviously higher profile/sponsored tournaments (As in, ones with large prizes, hosted in one location) that will have special servers set up with special options. But that goes for any game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
