About Platoons, apparently they are at BFV launch -similar as they were in BF1, Apparently some kind of misunderstanding… David posted today in Twitter. Unfortunately nothing about RSP.
RIP RSP
Well BF5 chat is now moderated more then ever. Almost every word is banned so yo uwont see much in the chat except ** 
Will there be any punishments (getting kicked) for continued attempts at using foul/racist language in the chat? Sounds like something they should have done years ago.
I believe EA’s approach to this is by filtering bad language, punishment will not be required since players won’t see the bad stuff.
This adds to my suspicion that EA disallowed 3rd-party tools, such as ProCon, which used punishments like kick/ban.
On BF1, EA attempted (but never implemented) a ping filter that blocked high ping players from getting into servers, thereby eliminating the need to kick them.
Are you sure that’s correct? ‘LATENCY LOCK’ ON or OFF … Pretty sure it’s set to 100 or region based. Will put the BF1 server in Custom Mode (Gives you warnings on small ping spikes) it really isn’t good but it’s implemented.
I have a noob question:
BFBC2 had “private servers” that were free alternative servers that were used for clan battles and other gimmick stuff.
What is the “for-dummies” explanation for what the difference is between BFBC2’s private servers and the RSP?
I know one cost money, but is that literally all the difference is? Is it any different on DICE’s end?
I miss the days of dedicated server files.
Plugins. The amount of things an admin could do to manage The server.
Actually you can configure a fair amount of VARS in RSP, such as turning off planes but not armor. Or removing a class like Scout or Elites. You can alter the minimum number of players to start a round from 20 to 6. You can turn off map voting, assign Standard Issue Rifles to all classes as well as some other stuff. The problem is, as soon as you make any changes to the Official settings, it makes the server Custom and then it disappears from the browser with default settings. Which means that it gets buried in the Custom server graveyard and will most likely never get traffic. There are only a handful of successful Custom servers. But you’re right in that it doesn’t support plugins and doesn’t have the amount of customization that Procon plugins have to offer.
This was my main point in my earlier post. I’d rather BFV have fun and interesting game modes, with a variety of styles of play, than “custom servers” which hardly have any traffic.
15 years ago I would be pushing for custom servers for PC players, today consoles have 2x (or more) player populations and no one cares about “custom” games.
Well I care about “custom” games
David’s comment about RSP:
Wow what a joke. Glad i never gave EA any money for BF1 or this BFV garbage. Pretty soon this thread will be locked & forum as well just like they did with the BF1 rental server program. They locked out the entire forum for users who purchased the game so they could remove all the players who were asking for RSP to be improved before they purchase.
At least, they are letting us post here again
I was able to post normally all the time…
Sounds like to me they got offended by some of the comments and criticism?
For some reason the “Quote” option to device a reply wasn’t available on certain threads/groups. Seems to be working again.
RSP is a MUST for the community.
