BF1 Private Game Severs

[N1ght_F1nger]

Hi All
I thought I might post some info I found on, give the link a read.
EA in now going to supply all the game servers, which would seem to result in a lot of restrictions for customisation

"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!"

hello and

Why did they do this. I want it back to bf3 where you could host your own servers. I want to try.

The same as it was with bf4 and hardline. Nothing new here.

Edit: Okay, I misread. Still, no major difference.

Totalitarianism at its finest!
