So basically I am right...just did some research, for many game modes and regions there are no OFFICIAL HOSTED SERVERS provided by Dice/EA...
Wow...?! That is just inexcusable. Dice/EA sells you a game, that as a selling point has optional modes to play the game, yet they do not provide servers to play those modes to the player base.
You have to rent your own and set that mode or play on someone else's rented server that has that mode preset /DISGUSTED
So, EA has made a game with alot of gamemodes and combinations. Lets look at it
- 5 expansion rotations + original maps = 6
- 14 game modes
- small / large map = 2
- Normal, infantry, hardcore and classic preset.
All of these in 7 continents on 5 platforms
Lets calculate the combination possibilities:
6*14*2*4*7*5
=
23.520 servers
So, what you are saying is that EA/DICE should use electricity, buy hardware and manpower to maintain 23.000+ servers where only the few popular combinations will be used?
We could also turn it around and say, if EA/DICE are forced to create a server for each combination they would have to severely limit the posibilities of those who buy and create servers = say hello to a severely limited game.

You are acting like this has never been done properly before by another gaming company in any other online FPS. Or by Dice/EA themselves in the past! You act like EA has not made a killing off this franchise and are strapped to provide servers for their player base...DERP
If they set up at least one or two servers for each of the modes they have designed for the game and then have a matchmaking system set up to fill those hosted servers for that mode things would be ALL GOOD.
I do not see why folks like you try your very hardest to blindly defend every mistake and greedy decision that Dice/EA makes? Are you on EA's pay roll? If not why are you so adamant about defending a company that is notorious for screwing over their customers?
All of this conjecture between us still does not negate the fact that for even the more popular game modes(RUSH) there are no DICE/EA official hosted servers in my region, so yeah...not sure why you still keep arguing with me.
