Ok since no one updated this I will In the Spring Update we are getting the following:
6 p start, no i dont know if it will still make it a custom server so dont ask.
Multiple Admins
VIP list, not in patch notes but confirmed in product set for certification.
Vote map is now default as on and official
PW protected servers.
Lots of other stuff we've been hammering out in the CTE as well. Platoons is a lot more than it was in BF4 and works really well. If you fill a squad with clanmates the squad will be renamed for your clan ie The Armory Clan Squad 1 etc and if you contribute the most points toward caping a flag your platoons avatar is displayed on a banner showing who contributed the most to the cap.
Automagic grenades are gone. Starting ammo with be limited and to resupply a grenade / get a full loadout you will need to find a Support Class player. Yes people will need to relearn how to play their class as intended. This plays a LOT like the old BF titles and is a good step in making the game back into something we want.
Trench Fighter nerfs / AA buffs inbound and best of all, hopefully it works like it should, a fix to netcode that will not benefit high ping players or more accurately even the playing field.
Been working hard on some of this stuff and tweaks will need to be made but it's getting there.
What happened to "monthly updates" ? Last one I saw was late March (Platoons etc.)
They have the next seasonal update, Spring, to get out then it rolls to monthly updates. hence the spring update then it will be a monthly push. I understand a lot better why things have been taking so long now. When an update is ready to go they have to submit it to MS and Sony to go through certification to make sure it's not going to jack up a metric ton of consoles. Unfortunately MS and SOny work on their own timelines and until its certified by them their hands are tied and they can't push it for legal reason. CTE has opened my eyes to a lot of things and there's stuff we've tested that isnt even in this patch that has been pushed back for further review.
All I can say is we're trying hard to bring this thing back from the brink and make it play a lot more like BF2/3. We're getting there but it's gonna take a bit. Oh and it will be coming SOON™

Welcome to the club man. Told you cert runs took forever and a day.
6 player start and multiple admins will be a huge plus. I hope they add ability to move players SOON.
But yes a good start. My group is actually planning on getting a server if it all come true.

6p = server custom but at least custom servers show now in server browser, unless you turn mapvote on with 6p start. Then your server is hard to find. Interesting features, so we will not use 6p and mapvote on same time.
Most of the clans/communities wants to run a server with official settings because custom servers are not very popular among BF1 players.
In the CTE patch 20th of March, there is an option for 6p start but when I joined to some CTE servers (CQ) player required was still 20p.
So I asked this and got an answer:
"Julian Manolov @_jjju_ · 1hr ago
low player server starting is if one rents a server and creates a custom game with that option enabled"
----
Why???? It's useless like that. IT should be an Official server setting. Why again like this? I hope this is changed. We can't accept that-it has been the most waited feature among multiple admins.
Moderators (multiple administrators) cannot change map rotation (or step forward in maplist). Only the guy who hires the server can do that. Or do I miss something?
No whoever you add as moderators can only kick ,ban, unban, add on VIP list and and other moderators.
I did add guys on our server to help admining but I didn't test to see if they have all the same stuff I have.
I still would like to see,
Restart a map, definitely need this for matches
Spam plugin, for scrolling messages
Rules plugin, type in game !Rules to get a list
Also when I kick a player and select other I personally would like to write a reason why so the player knows.
It's really nice seeing Dice finally giving RSP some love, thank you

Yes I know how crazy that is considering they were talking about it on a live stream etc, but it is what it is.
I am happy we finally are getting some more features. In dutch we have a saying which roughly translates to 'Better something, than nothing at all'.
But yes a good start. My group is actually planning on getting a server if it all come true.
