Sweet, you should play with me and Lone sometime, if we can ever find a server with no/low lag. Ever sense 2.5 came out every servers lagged like hell and I get kicked out from punkbuster. I'm not sure what the problem is yet, but I think its just our computers sense other people aren't having that problem.
$20 for the smallest possible AA server, 10 people, and we have to have a server to compete in the twl leagues. However, we can compete in the CAL leages but we have to contact an admin for every match we play on to reserve the CAL server. I might be able to manage the 10 people server, if I leave PS, not really sure yet.
