    EA and DICE both fully support server-side modding in the sense that we have intentionally exposed a good deal of Python functionality to the end-user, primarily to encourage modders to tweak game types and scoring (on UNRANKED servers) once the full game is available. That said, we have come to discover that two items that were not a part of the demo feature-set were hacked in the Battlefield 2 demo. We consider both of these changes in violation of the Tools EULA that each server operator accepted in installing the server software.

    The demo's feature set included a 12-minute time limit on rounds and excluded access to the weapon unlocks. Because some server operators have hacked the time limit out of their servers or hacked access to the unlocks, we have been forced to reinforce our intended feature set by delisting the offending servers. All violations of the EULA as described above will result in a 1-week ban/delisting.

    How nice, so again people................

    82.195.149.49 TIG server
    games4.iol.ie IOL server

    In case you forget the Ips.

    So eh, this is basically a case of "if you remove our limited functionality we'll ban you entirely."

    Really great sense of fair play on their part.

    Presumably, if you keep on offending you will be banned for longer periods of time or, ultimately, permanently.

    Can someone fill me in here? i dont get how this works, i.e EA banning the server. What do they do, go round to where the server is and unplug it??
    :confused:

    They remove it from the server browser so the only way to connect to then is to use their IP.
