Thats great but only if EA/DICE sets a schema for it, I know you can do it solely via a client installation but that is also the weakest way to accomplish it and give Hackers a way to defeat the CRC. The Best solution is either built into the server side code or resides on the server as middle-ware... and it will add more load to the system.
