To start a discussion, what sort of rules would you expect from the server?
aka. No Spawn camping. Must be in a squad (if relevant) etc.

I like both suggestions you have there, also capping recon (if it's as annoying as it is in BC2 with mass campers) would be nice. Ban for TK'ing so many times or at least kick for some amount of time. Keeping people from going idle for too long would be cool as well so we don't have wasted slots on dudes going and doing the dishes while logged into the server. As I said your suggestion for forcing people into a squad would be perfect, I HATE how in BC2 half of a team won't be in a squad, it is so annoying having to huff it across a huge map when all the vehicles are gone, which is very common.
It would also be very nice to have rules on hardcore trash talking and someone just sitting there going "DICK, SHIT",etc. Servers that keep people from verbally bashing players usually end up only having cool people in them that follow the rules and play the objective instead of just walking around staring at the ground.  Sorry so long on suggestions!

im going to put my question here because it refers to servers and network sort of.
my internet just capped (now running at 128kbs / 10kbs download)
would i still be able to play the beta online. downloading is not a problem because i can just get a mate to give it to me.

Having a banling to ban griefers and assholes would be really cool too. Dunno if EA allows it anymore (I think there are some BC2 servers with a couple ban filters).

Most of what your saying is/should be monitored by admins (trash talking, Banning for team killing, camping). Capping classes can be hit or miss (and is usually controlled server side). I could care less if the entire game is over run by medics who are just healing each other non stop, and never dieing, or if everyone is the recon with a sniper, just as long as the game is moving and flowing. Might make a difference in competitive play, but in a pub it's no big deal to me. We shall see what the community wants. Forcing squad is cool, but then the "good" squads fill up and you can't get in them . AFK is usually monitored server side with add ons and such. Don't worry about making your suggestions to long. This is a discussion area, give us topics to discuss.
I have no idea what will be available to us for stuff like monitoring for AFK's and capping classes though, so we will have to see.

Yeah the class cap idea is more for if recon is still "as good" as it was in BC2 as far as mass recon camping. From how everyone is making the game sound though it is like recon is supposed to be more squad/team oriented and it won't be like it is at the moment. The huge difference with mass medics is the fact there not going to just sit on the edge of a map in wooded areas and do it all over the map at multiple locations. I know most servers don't care about that but I figured I'd put in my suggestion regardless just because it seems like a good thing to go over. Love me some BF3 conversation! :D

Another question then: Can we pre-download the launcher or something to get on and play right on the 29th?

Not through Origin at least, pre-purchased the game and it wont let me load yet (altho tomorrow!)

Will these servers be up after the game is released or just during beta? If not, I'd be
willing to host after release since I didn't get into beta. And we should also use tl's teamspeak

You got into beta along with millions of others who wish to download it on the 29th, you are thinking of the 2 days early junk to be first into beta (which yes your a day late on since you need preorder Origin to do so). From what they have said these servers are for beta and release (if not beta though definitely release otherwise they wouldn't make a server thread ). Make sure you join us all in beta on the 29th though, I didn't preorder Origin but instead physical preorder from my local Gamestop. It would have been nice to get in beta first but I prefer to get the physical on release day so I couldn't.

The customer-ordered servers will not be available on the 29th. Only DICE approved exclusive game-hosting servers will be. Meaing you will see gameservers.com, multiplay, and others. I will be looking for a centralized server for everyone to converge in on for beta, to accomplish the same goal.
This may change however, they keep bouncing back and forth. In either case, in about 3 weeks you will see TL hosted servers up.

I'm hoping for a west-coast server

TL Battlefield scene hey? Awesome. See you guys in-game in beta and retail ;D
I played the shit out of the alpha and despite the complete lack of customization options and the amount of bugs in the alpha this game is still amazing. I haven't been this excited for an FPS since Call of Duty 4 >: D
