For Battlefield 3, the server is split into four categories: Custom, Normal, Hardcore and Inf-Only. In Basic Mode, we already have a function which allows us to toggle these settings. In Advanced Mode, you need to set these commands in the Startup.txt file.
The following table shows you which settings are necessary for a server to be assigned to the corresponding category in the Battlelog.
