you guys ever think there is a reason why the server files are not easy to find? The last time everyone had their hands on them DICE BLACKLISTED ALMOST EVERY IP! I could host rank up servers all day and make everyone max rank. You guys have to understand that hosting these servers are illegal! You can go to jail, get fined or get a seas and desist from EA.
If went and downloaded it and started hosting servers. Dice would just add another step to the wall that SKIDS have already helped to create. The next step will probably be to manually whitlisted every server IP or give it a key just like when you register a game. This would not only make is impossible for people to host their own servers. It would also make the cost of hosting providers to go up! I have yet for someone to offer anyhelp with my server. People try and join it then leave. No one even offered advice to why some people are not able to connect but others can connect fine.
