    I'd be happy to put my BF2 server back into operation. It wouldn't be ranked, though--I know you guys love to run on that level treadmill.

    Just say the word and I'll start putting it back together.

    Beast, forgive my noobness here, but what does it mean to have your server ranked?

    Also, it would be pretty cool to have an AK server going, but I would not want you to do it if it will cost a bunch or take up a lot of your time.

    Thanks beast! I also was wondering what it would take to make it a ranked server. Many people do not play on non ranked servers due to the ranking system. Also, do you have Special forces? That is what we have been mostly playing.


    We would love to have a AK BF2 server. This would hopefully get more AK members involved also.

    Ranked servers count towards your medals, rank, and weapon unlocks. They also cost money, ergo I won't be running one.

    Unranked servers do not count, they're just for running and gunning. You can use the weapons you've unlocked, you just won't be able to unlock more that way. But the unranked server software is a free download. I had one running once before the WOW craze took off; I could probably put it back up fairly easily. Just not sure if it would have Special Forces in it, either.

    Welp, if it's doesn't cost anything, I am all for it...

    As for the ranking part, I can always spend some time on the ranking servers to unlock stuff. but, I think it would be very cool to have our own server to run and gun, plus we can maintain some sanity on it then too...

    Another reason why this whole game leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Ranked servers? We didn't need no ranked servers back in the ol' BF1942 days! Just a scheme by the makers to sap more money out of you!

    I just liked the way in BF1942 if I wanted to be a sniper and use the sniper rifle I could simply outfit my myself with the sniper load out and *bingo* I'm sniping. I don't like the idea of having to unlock weapons. The whole account sign in is another annoyance.

    I do own BF2 and did give it a try but I was very disappointed with the changes from BF1942.

    I'll try to jump in some time this week. I don't have my joystick up here in college so I guess I'll actually have to work for my kills on the groud.
