The EC Enemy Territory server is a whole lot of dumb in the convenient package of a butthead.
You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

No idea. The process keeps running, it just stops working. And it started doing that on its own.

I hear there's a server update available, I dunno if it fixes this problem though. For now I could probably just set up a watchdog if I can detect the crashed server somehow.

Also, DON'T SHUFFLE BY EXP. It resets the round, sets you back to exp before you started, and restarts the map. Someone just called it on Gold Rush right before we got into the bank, and it's really quite annoying losing 130 exp because I manged to move the tank up to the bank.

It doesn't have a very steep learning curve. Really, the only class that might take a while to learn all the ins and outs is being a good Covert Ops.

Just run a game for yourself and learn the maps. Learning the maps is really the only hard part.

Flak Jacket so does not suck.

You can survive a grenade blast, most of the splash damage from a Panzer, and one mine hit. Plus last longer in a shootout.

Flak Jacket is good.

A normal backstab does like 90 damage as it is. Assassinate is useless.
You can stab someone like 5 times in a second, it's not like you're pressed for time to get that second 10 damage stab in.

The covert level 4 reward should be something like being able to spot mines without going into binocs. I hate it when we have 2 covert on the team and they NEVER SPOT A SINGLE MINE.

Yeah, at about 10 feet away. Its easier for the coverts to spot mines and avoid that area all together, than to waste time.

Exactly. Since not everyone gets level 4 battle sense, and all. And the more mines you have marked so that your team can see them, the fewer mines they can plant.

The way it was meant to be. The biggest downfall of the EC server is the lack of players at any one time, which leads to a poor spread of classes, and usually one person filling in a role they aren't good at/used to.
