EA has released the dedicated linux server for the recent demo for DICE's FPS sequel Battlefield 2. We reported earlier about EA banned modded servers from the master server list, and EA has finally issued a statement that this is indeed the case. "Because some server operators have hacked the time limit out of their servers or hacked access to the unlocks, we have been forced to reinforce our intended feature set by delisting the offending servers. All violations of the EULA as described above will result in a 1-week ban/delisting."

There is quite a stir going on in the
Battlefield 2 community as many server admins have started raising questions about their servers no longer showing up in the in-game master server list. Curiously enough all the missing servers were running minor mods to unlock hidden weapons and remove the ridiculously short time limit. At least 80 servers have been removed without any prior notice or explanation from EA, and there has been no official comment from the EA community moderators either. A possible workaround is changing the server ip or the name, especially if it includes mod hints such as "no time limit" etc.

One of the
PlanetBattlefield editors is currently attending a community event at the EA campus and during a presentation executive producers Scott Evans revealed that a Battlefield 2 demo is in the works and it is expected to be released Mid June featuring one map.

A lot of speculations have been going around lately regarding a possible Battlefield 2 demo. A few weeks ago it was said there would be no demo, then denounced as a rumor, then a demo was announced and so forth. Over the weekend people dug up server screenshots indicating a demo was being tested, which now turns out to be only internal EA server for making Battlefield 2 screens they release to the media. Today EA's Ben Smith put up a notice in the
Planetbattlefield forums that a demo was NOT coming in March, but once it is ready they would of course notify the community.
