How To Set A Password On Your Bad Company 2 Server

This is what you do if you want only people who know the password to join your Bad Company 2 server. Ranked servers can't have a password, so this also turns Ranked off.

Setting A Password

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under Basic, edit Server Password and enter the password you want, up to 32 letters, numbers, dashes or underscores. Under Gameplay, turn Ranked off.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

Players will be asked for the password when they join. To make your server public again, clear Server Password and click Save & Restart. See Ranked for what changes on an unranked server.
