What are your plans for running BF1 servers

[Remi]

There was a leaked video with built in cinematic tool. You could argue that they are trying to implement some of the things, that people used a lot of time making in BF4.

There you have it: pretty sure this means NO RCON for BF1.

Following the Battlefield™ 1 launch, we will start rolling out a Rent-a-Server Program that will allow players to set up their own private and public Battlefield 1 servers, with control of different gameplay options to map rotations. Thanks to these customization options, you’ll be able to create games that suit the play style for you and your friends.

Starting close after launch, you will be able to rent a server through the in-game store of Battlefield 1. In the past, servers were handled by third-party companies – now, EA is providing them directly. We think this will benefit you in several ways. First off, we will be able to secure the quality of the actual hardware. Since the servers come from the same provider, it will give everyone the same uniform experience. Furthermore, if you have questions or need help, you will be able to reach out to EA Support directly instead of third party support.

On a rented server, players will be able to customize gameplay aspects like server name, map rotation, game mode, various game play settings, and more. We might restrict number of game modes available at launch and gradually enable them based on feedback and other circumstances, but you can expect that we’ll keep adding customization options and UI design throughout 2016.

Expect to hear more about it as we approach the release of the Rent-a-Server program. We can’t wait to see you on the battlefield!

This announcement is a big dissapointment. Braddock wrote earlier few times, that he's collecting more detailed informations for us, just to avoid questions, and now after this message, we still don't have answer to a basic questions like:
- RCON support
- killing,kicking,banning support
- VIP Slots
- what about PunkBuster support and PB logs streaming to PBBANS/GGC ?

[EBassie]

There will be no RCON. As I read it server management will be done through the new UI.
Just like consoles did with BF4.

There will neither be PunkBuster support. (It wasn't in the Beta either)

Brace yourself for a cesspool of abuse, since you cannot automate anything in BF1.
No more:

1. Chat logging
2. Stats logging
3. Language filters & punishment system
4. Banlist sharing across servers
5. Votemap
6. Votekick
7. Ping Kick
8. Ingame balancer (DICE balancer does only end-of-round balancing)
9. Custom scripts to catch cheaters

BF1 will be a cesspool of abuse. This does not come as a surprise to me though. I've hinted this would happen more than a month ago.

Nevertheless: I'm done with this franchise.

PC community takes one up the arse today.

This is ridiculous. Nobody will buy a BF1 server on which he will be able only to set a server name and maps. I expect a lot of cheaters in a few months in BF1 on PC. EA/DICE is destroying this game from the 1st day.

RIP battlefield

- a player from from the first hour

[Remi]

This is so absurd. 6 days from early release. I hope it is gotta hunt them like hell.

[Hodor]

Why DICE sooo stupid to deny RCON/PROCON???? As far as I know, one of Procon developer now works at DICE. And does he not understand that without Procon - servers will die and BF1 too? Who wants to buy this shit?

[Remi]

Hahaha. The article in other languages states that server renting will first be available 1st November.

I said this many months ago and people called me crazy, even on these forums.
