dont know the source but...

one of my squad found this, he cant even remember where it was so it may be the biggest pile of lies and a lot of old poo but here it is

So, last night, some buddies and I had an opportunity to play alongside, Bad Company developer, Jespar. We made sure to ask a few him questions. I used the opportunity to ask questions many people want answered.

Rank boosting

It was actually very funny. In the first game, we all were split up. One of our guys got on a squad with the Jespar, and myself and my other friend were thrown on a squad with people boosting. They were boosting in a game with a developer in it. Imagine that. So, we all left that game and formed back up. We asked him when would all this boosting end. He had good news. Basically, he said a server-side patch to cease boosting will arrive Monday or Tuesday. We couldn’t get any confirmation really about the leaderboards, but he did say something about Xbox Live customer service issuing warning to those caught boosting. Needless to say, it’s a start.

Clan support

He was very positive about it and said it is definitely something they are talking about. Better yet? EA Digital Illusions CE (EA DICE) can and will implement it into the game if enough people want it. He was exceptionally positive about clan support. I expect to see it added to the game in the future.

Full-team voice chat

If you dislike squad-only voice chat, you may be disheartened if you read onwards. Jespar said one the senior producers had decided four would be the maximum number of people one would be able to chat with during the game. It boiled down to troubles with a push-to-talk system, lag, and how Xbox Live users would fulfill stereotypes of moronic behavior. In layman’s terms, full-team voice chat would have been far less functional. EA DICE found voice chat worked best the way it was always utilized in Battlefield games. However, he lead me to believe lag was the primary hindrance with full-team voice chat.
Clan support would be glorious. I only once encountered rank boosters, who I proceeded to team kill, but it is good that they will address the issue in an upcoming fix. Hopefully, while applying the fix, it will also implement Conquest mode. I dig Gold Rush, but, in this case, more is better. Oh, and I figured EA DICE kept squad-only voice chat due to lag issues with full-team voice chat. Squad-only voice chat wouldn’t be an issue if the party system were better. For instance, if party members would stay with their party when divided into squads and not sent to the opposition.

i can see why you would want to run clan server for matches and not being able to talk to any one in team is pain, but as ive said most dont even have common sense to use headset when playing. but it wont kill the game most that play bf2, bf2142 are not clans and they are still popular.

OggieT · 29-07-2008, 11:16 AM

i'll be EXTREMELY dissapointed if it doesnt have full clan support

Well i just hope they add it m8 because i enjoy the game and it would be a shame to see the same names ingame

PatShillings · 29-07-2008, 11:23 AM

on the scrolling bar across the top of the screen in game menu it did say that the server will be offline today (tues) fro maintenance

Not sure what time though

Yer i fully support idea of being able to run unranked servers and bigger voice channels if its possiable. it would be good if they cant do it on open servers if you could at least say do it on a unranked clan game so whole team could talk to each other.

UltraShotz · 29-07-2008, 01:49 PM

Well we will soon see once EA release the date.
