they get ddos'd being lagged or completely booted offline. what was your server name? I remember this happening in bf3 too. The Private servers, were literally either getting lagged out or full of cheaters. If I was EA I wouldn't have the stomach to keep making it available to the community either. This started happening in gaming after 2004 brother. when we had millions playing CS in NA alone and community ranked leagues. and pub servers with good admins. It became too much of a hassle for them to host their own servers. So it was passed on to the game companies who have more bandwidth to defend against it, but also aren't in the business or organized tournaments. SO they created an "mmr". which is great in theory, but not when anonymous accounts can easily undermine it, so its actually so naive, it ruined the industry.
I don't remember the name of our server anymore. It was so long ago. I don't remember being DDOS'd either, but it is possible I am forgetting.
Either way, I'd rather have servers and deal with potential for DDOS than deal with this crappy matchmaking. I hate backfilling teams, or joining matches full of bots; it is horrendous right now. And Portal is not cutting it.
