He tweeted Feb and also in the comments on the video also he stated February.
Both of which I quoted.
If he mentions March he clearly he has edited his video on YT. He said Feb in the video I viewed. That’s a bit suspicious. The point is EA/DICE have had 3 months to give us better and more detailed information than they have.
Even Westie himself seems to think it was February still …

What were we doing in February then?
There are things that are missing or not well explained.
For example;
1.- Is it possible to put a password on private servers?
2.- Is everyone going to be able to create a customized server?
2.1 .- If everyone can create a server, is there the possibility that there are many servers and saturate EA facilities?
3.- It is necessary to add the option to eliminate sights (optics) in all the weapons (Less snipers)
4.- Add the option to limit ROL, so that in the server there can not be 15 snipers per side.
I pointed this on the Reddit thread and Braddock512 replied as quoted below
Good luck on getting a concise and clear answer. I think the jist is that we should all be grateful that we are giving you something for free but don’t ask for any details until we tell you.
“The servers you create will be located at the closet ping site to you and will be placed within our own server infrastructure.”
will uk servers be based in the uk or germany?
Could you and @VRtroper please be so kind and stop quoting entire books in your comments please, thank you.
RSP is late but it seems that Battlefield is on the right track.
Sorry ViolacióndeDerp
I will make some more comments now:
Private servers are coming, these are great news. I already lost hope with this. So thank you for this again @Braddock512 !
You made a lot of people happy with this!
What comes to starting functions, I noticed that VIP/Bans are not there at the first version (coming later), please if possible please make them be already in the first version, because permaban is a needed function at the start, I saw that kick function was there at least at the first phase.
Few other comments, official server starting requirements are quite high at the moment, would be nice that those official requirements are also lowered before these private servers are coming. Also there is a bug at the moment with current server starting requirements, if player count goes lower than required after the round, there is no preround, server stays in the stage: waiting for the players and no one can’t move, usually causing even an official server to go empty-it should be fixed before. Matchmaking, please make it happen to Private servers that are Ranked and are in certain values.
Server starting requirement can be set lower, that’s a good thing, pls make sure it won’t affect to server visibility (in BF1 we could not use that because server “disappeared” from the browser, so we were forced to use official requirements).
Server disappearing after it’s empty, this can be problematic, let’s explain this a bit:
We need favourites back to server browser (as they were in BF1), if you have favourited the server and it disappears after it’s empty, it also disappears (at least temporarily) from your favourites list, I know it will be back when a server is back online but still.
One more noticement, is the server owner only one who can “start” a server at morning with this local setup that is stored? How about when a server owner is on 4 weeks holidays, should everyone create a new server for that time? I hope it’s solved in a good way Communities want to have a steady community server that is in people’s favourites and stays there
Question: Will there be a premium server setup, that you have to pay but it keeps your server online 24/7?
Anyway I know more info will be posted later, I just wanted to bring out some concerns More comments will be coming later. Cheers!
For players dipping I meant will the free version be 64 player server? Or will be less for free? I was just trying to guess what the not free version entails. My guess the not free one would let us have all game modes no matter if they’re time limited or not cause we maybe get them as permanent since the server is paid for. Example Grind or rush. While free version you lose the limited game mode when the weekly mode vanishes. Just a guess for what the no free version gets. Also gonna guess were allowed to only have one mode per server unless they have same server player count for the game mode. Example you can’t have a 64 player conquest for one map then next map its domination and only 32 players. So the other 32 players get dropped. I cant remember what happened in BF3 when there was a different game mode added after a large player base was forced into a smaller mode like gun master? I think server froze and everyone just about got the boot.
“They were given an overview of the service - what we’ve announced today - and potential future state. As it’s not confirmed until we lay the base ground work and roll this out, see how it works for the masses, etc. - it’s not confirmed.”
Here’s the problem, sounds like it’s not even built, or in a working state. Like they’re desperate to announce something positive, so threw this out now.
Time to temper our enthusiasm until there is a working version.
Thank You!
I can not wait to see this service grow and develop throughout BFV and beyond!
Can’t wait boys!
Or worse, something like it was in BF1, which I always thought was EA’s “Step One” in their plan to do away with rented servers. First make them trash, then drop them altogether. It still amazes me that EA thought it was a good idea not to let clans pay for thousands of servers and make them an expense for the company instead.
Okay, @PvtJohnTowle ; -
Considering the fact I actually help create these Game Changer events, I think I’d know - since I was literally onsite in Stockholm - in March, not February.
It’s not a matter of lying - and again, it seems like you are just looking to pick apart anything (don’t worry, I’m not “pretending to know you”) - but Westie has the dates confused.

There were no Game Changer events in February as we were transitioning from having Dan Mitre as Global CM to having Ben Walke take over the role as he’s based in Stockholm.
This tangent is done. We’ve gone off-topic enough.
Have a good one!
@PvtJohnTowle I think you owe @Braddock512 an apology.
@Braddock512 why was the uk megathead removed without providing us with an update?
@Braddock512 I think @PvtJohnTowle is just mad because he thinks he won’t have total control over ‘his’ private server. He seems like the type of admin who bans a lot of people.
I think it’s cool DICE is providing dedicated private servers for free. Players can choose to play on official DICE servers with no admins, or private servers with admins.
I’m the type of player who usually plays on official DICE servers to avoid admin abuse.
RSP as great as that is. without new MAPS to play on it wont matter that its hosted by yoour buddy. the game is stale MAPS yoiu have a pool of old maps. just use something anything,. we are all so bored. and now your going to be working on RSP we will get Less maps then i had hoped. now you have a excuse to not release maps. (oh we were working on rsp). GIVE the community a CLEAR roadmap over the next year on how much content we will be receiving and the dates so people the reason you wont do it is because you have such a underwhelming lack on content . like you did with previous titles from the premium. how can you still hold the carrrot over aour heads and expect us to be happy?
