Unless they publish server files (which should already enable you to do SSM), I won't even try BC2. We had this privilege with bf1942 for 8 years, why step backwards now? The next thing is that there has to be a way to disable all kind of ranking system influences. I suppose these are made for all the people out there that play too weak and slow so their only chance to survive on the battlefield is to become server administrators and ban all better players from their servers... Now these can buy themselves all kind of additional crap or play for hours and hours just to be able to beat you at least once, because you have just started playing and see no sense in investing time or even money into this stupid ranking system hype. And that's it then... you play once and you'll never play again.

Ranking systems can be compared to cheating, I think. You invest time and sometimes money to have an advantage over other players, so you can feel and talk cool because of your so called "skill". To me, this is absolutely the same and both kinds of players I wouldn't want to play with in ANY battlefield series game, ever!
