I been trying a couple days now to host a ranked server. I have clicked "use global rank" and it always shows me as a private. How do I get the server to record stats and show rank? I have tried adding sv.ranked 1 but that didn't change anything. The global unlocks work find just not the rank. I have copies of all three patches, is that maybe the problem? I am trying to host on 1.41, it is still part of the EA rank system.

Hosting a Ranked server can only be done by server providers that are Trusted Partners with EA, is this the case here?

hmmm, no not a "trusted provider". So the only way to host a ranked server is to "rent" one? That kind of stinks. Is that also the same for the global rank? I wish there was more law on 1.41 cheaters/glitchers and hackers run rampet on the few servers left.....

Upgrading to Patch 1.5 is free, so why do you not do that?

There were a lot of good fixes in the Patch.

If you want to have a server that is part of the Ranking System, the only option is to rent a Ranked Server by a provider that is a Trusted Partner with EA.

Just wondering; why are you still playing 1.41?

I play both, 1.3 I couldn't hit a barn, 1.4 I could finally shoot people, 1.5 I can only seem to hit half as much now.... so that's why I enjoy playing 1.4 still.

I don't know if its just me but they seem to add or increase the delay times in 1.5. BF2 so damn frustrating sometimes, when I have the upper hand and take time to aim, I almost always lose the gun fight, when I just half ass it and shoot where ever I hit more things.

If you rent a server you'll open up the possibilty to streaming to multiple anti cheat sites aswell as being ranked.

There is more than one way of fighting lag. I don't know how experienced you are with ping and settings and all, but I found out during playing and reading this and other fora (sorry nsvr, it was a thing of the past) some valuable tips.
- This forum has quite some tips at http://bf2awards.com/lag-reduction-tweaks/.
- Also try to put your settings on the lowest possible, nooooooooo anti alias (100% distance view is a must though).
- Try servers that come from your neighborhood, iow, if you live in Sweden for example, don't join a Thai or Australian server. Maybe you have a friend living there and you wish to play with him, pack up your laptop, buy a flight ticket to there and sit next to him, it will be better.
- Patch 1.5 is realy worth it, and many more servers to choose from. Delay times, yes, if you go prone it will take more time for the crosshair to adjust since 1.5, but the player ìn your crosshair has the same problem, unless he is standing or crouched.

Sorry if you are experienced with all this and reading this makes you feel treated as a newby, wasn't my intention, I hope it will help you or others, as some worked for me.

Or alternatively do what viking does
1. Jump in a jet
2. bomb the crap out of people
3. hit a tree or any other obstacle above ground level

i must admit i had the biggest problem with that.
i was so used to prone...y'all get my point. now, i instacrouch when i shoot but still i don't hit as much as i used to. for example with the m16, i tend to hit the 2 first bursts on a close target but the 3the misses (and that is the one that makes the difference between a kill and a damage kill assist :) or gives the oponent the time to kill you before you finish the job)

i also get the feeling sometimes that everyone has got the hang of it and i'm still stuck.
f.e. i'm running and around the corner , i come across an enemy. i'm the one who crouches and hits first (at a certain point you get the feeling; ok, it's done, i have him) and at that moment he fires back (while running) and instakills me. i hit jacksh*t when i run :) i've tryed, i've failed.

Dolphin dive sucks. Really. Almost as painfully annoying as a freaking rabbit-man on steroids.
Also, at close range, DON'T crouch (unless you're 100% sure you can down him in a split second, ie : you saw him eat a grenade just a second ago). And don't even think about proning. Just run around the guy while firing like a mad man.
And I personnally never stop firing until I see the kill message.

do you know what dolphindive is? it was something you could do in the beginning of the game but was soon taken out with some patch. ones that couldn't be done anymore, people that jump, strafe in the air and go ly down in one movement where conciderd as dolphindivers but at this point it isn't all that correct anymore. i just went lying down, i didn't jump, i didnt strafe or hop. so what can be anoying about someone who go lying down? it's a natural movement, a movement you should do in real life to when being engaged, cause standing makes you a bigger target....
