Does anyone know the process of how to host ranked servers? IE If we
wanted to rent ranked servers to other people what procedure do we need
to go through with EA to become a ranked server hoster.

There was a forum post about this on Lightcubed (I think)

I think the address was ***@ea.com

But can't remember for sure.

Well, it would at least require you to host 10 ranked servers for free,
plus 1 free ranked server for every single one you get paid for.<br>

Correct - except the last thing. You have to host one additional Server for every tenth Server you rent.

Wow, what a load of crap. How about this EA... You let people host
ranked servers themselves like every other game on the planet.

"EA and Dice, My measuring stick for bad business. Anywhere I look in
that company I see A LOT of missed opportunity. Opportunity that was
easily there, and it was harder to muck it up then cash in on it, but
they still seem to pull it off. I never cease to be amazed with their
stunts."

I think it's time to just let them do what they want. They are required by
no law to even release a Linux server, or any other server for that
matter. If they want to screw it up that badly, well, it wouldn't be the
first time a game with great potential went down the tubes because of one
dumb thing on the developer's part.

But complaining about it doesn't make a lot of sense. If they can get away
with something, for example not giving out free ranked servers, then they
can get away with it, more power to them. If they can't, they'll find out
in the end.

"Publisher's Part" DICE, the Developer, just pretty much gets to do what
EA says.
