    If you mean host a private server on your own machine & play against mates in your house then no you cant do it any more. You can play on an empty server or rent one yourself & play on that though. Just get your mates to all join the same server :)

    Impossible I'm afraid. Renting for a month (usually the minimum) is pretty much the only option. You'll pay about 1euro per slot.

    DICE have hinted once or twice about releasing a LAN update on twitter... has been a while since they last hinted it though.

    I'm sure DICE would love to release a LAN update but EA would never allow that to happen. Not when the only way to actually set up an event like Valdez is doing is to pay to rent a server. EA loves them moneys

    7 days: 560 MSP

    30 days: 2000 MSP

    90 days: 4800 MSP

    Fairly sure we're talking about PC platform here. In the previous games a LAN mode was available so there was no need to play online. 64 player LANs were particularly awesome.
