BF2042 should have community servers with Admins along with official ones

In BF4 and previous BF games, we had the ability to rent servers, use RCON tools and play in community servers that had admins to ban/kick cheaters.

Also, PBBANS, GGC, etc. helped a lot to keep player-owned servers clean from cheaters. In BF1 and BF5 cheaters overrun the servers after Dice stopped providing support for these games.

We, most old BF-addict players want to play in community servers with kick/ban moderation. Please keep supporting Punkbuster and Rcon along with Fairfight.

The double anti-cheat system was good and I bet there are still fewer cheaters in BF4 community servers compared to BF5's current situation.
Please introduce votekick / voteban system for those community servers. If people don't like rules and Admins, they can always play on official servers.

  • I'm fairly certain we'll have some sort pf RSP/Community Games with an Admin list and tweakable rulesets. 

    I don't believe official servers will have a votekick system since things could get ugly

  • Something similar to BF5's Community Games will return as it's a good feature for players. Votekick/voteban definitely shouldn't be included as it'd just be toxic and instantly abused. I'm on console so at the end of the day I just want plenty of official servers with the game and the modes completely working as intended, with all maps available to play. No limitations.

    Official servers shouldn't have these options anyway imo, official servers are for people who don't like admins, rules, or votekick/voteban systems.
    But there are many people who like to play in moderated servers as well. BF1 and BF5 weren't catering to these types of players' needs.
    Both official and community servers should be available to players so they can play the way they want. It worked great till Bf4, there was no need for change IMO.
    Since Battlefield series are now trying to return to their original gameplay values, I think they should introduce this feature back as well.

    Agree. 

    TF2 sometimes is a horrible mess with the votekick. Same with CSGO. 

  • @Noctif3r Definitely want this! Servers need to return. Let the community have at these guys because it's clear they have done a better job over the years than matchmaking. It's just an overall better experience to be able to load up a list of servers and choose what you want. There never was a "split community" with server browsers either. Just join one you had the maps for or wanted to play.
