Like CoD, Halo:CE and similar games before it, they had the ability to let YOU, yes you, to start hosting your own games the way you want it to. Seriously, there are folks who actually want to play the game properly, and one way to do that is to learn the map layouts.

How the hell are you going to do that properly if you are under fire left, right and centre (presumably from hackers)? Crytek should consider this in future revisions of the game. :/

What i think should happen is someone to rent a server, upload a shell and copy over the server software for public use where we can implement a ban system using code caves.

If Crytek release the software to host dedicated servers, I have a spare dual core pc

Maybe soon....

I dont think they will do that because they have income from the server rental... or am I wrong?

I think there is and there will not be no such thing like hosting your game because of ... money! YES! MONEY! Its their income politics to keep the game earning greens $$$ while they can do another one.

One thing I dont understand in what I wroted before is that if Im right then there will be no official tournaments in C2? Oh no wait! I forgot! Tournament organizer can rent a server from Crytek and then (I hope so) he can password protect the access to it and give the password only to gamers that are available on tournament list.

Im really suffering more from a lack of spectator mode than from the lack of possibility to host own game.

Yea that would be a good idea. I learned the maps in CoD by basically doing a "private match" and running around.

Thought we could do it in this game too but, no. Yea I had to learn under fire too. At least I learned where all the re-spawn areas are!!
