The gaming community should to be able to host our own fully functional (i.e. allow us to point to a local database for the ranking feature) Battlefield 2 game servers without being forced to use official EA game server hosting in order to have this full functionality. A free market for game server hosting will nurture the BF2 gaming community while monopolizing on the ranking feature will stifle the community.
