Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Multiplayer

well tonight is proving to be one big fuck up. Been sitting here trying to get 1 fucking game, and it is impossible.

Takes the game a good 5 mins just to search for all servers, fine there are a lot of servers. Then it refuses to add any of the iGame servers as favs. Fine.

SGS servers are non existent on the list. iGame servers are all 100% full and have been for about 30 mins now. Over it.

Fed up. Back to MW2 for me.

well i have been in and out of diffrent servers ..the igame ones hint dont refresh the server list search for igame ive added them all no hassels on my side
 
Geesh....already been owned by FiB guys on the SGS server when it was actually running. iGame's servers are full the whole time but the last time I tried to connect I saw ALL servers were unavailable, even the iGame ones and I couldn't connect to EA either...

This was NOT a good launch for EA's Servers at all. At least it gave me time to play the single player campaign a bit which is actually very entertaining :)

Read my post about the fav thing it seems only some are having that problem and me and you are one of those few my friend :(
 
I must be one of the lucky few then, waited about a minute, joined a match on one of the igame servers, played until my connection decided to reset about 10 minutes ago.

There is a definite problem with all SGS servers as the one that I managed to add to my favorites is all grayed out now.

They must have optimized the graphics in the patch, all seems to be fine I can run the game on high/full res and I by no means own a monster rig.

Well, I have the game. I have been playing it with SP mode. Must say I am not really impressed. The game seems to be sluggish at times and the mouse control doesnt feel great, reminds me of OFPR. Its just not what I thought it would be. But. I havent played it online yet. So guess I will give that a bash before I say anything else.
 
Its been a long time since I enjoyed a single player as much as I did BFBC2, the combat is nothing special just straight forward. Played it till 4 in the morning and have not done that since COD4.

do the collectibles carry trough to th mp game ?
 
The server browser needs serious work and a search or join by IP address field.

As far as I can see no collectibles in my starting phases, they might be available on later levels

All the servers if you guys cant still find them
 
Well now it seems like a good thing that I'm only getting the game at the end of the month. I'll hopefully be missing all these birthing issues and just get to play.

For those who are actually getting a chance to play the MP. How heavy is the hourly bandwidth usage?
 
Here's an update from the BC2 Blog:

After last nights EA server outage on PS3 and PC, EA have found the issue and put a fix in place and brought the servers back online. This means that both PS3 and PC players can return back to playing Bad Company 2.



We are aware of a number of remaining disconnect issues on PC and we have released the “R5” server to hosts yesterday to address some of the disconnects. We are continuing to work on the remaining disconnect issues to have a solution as fast as possible as well as looking into reports of other issues raised on the forums for consoles: http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/battlefield-bad-company-2-ng/ and PC: http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/battlefield-bad-company-2-pc/



Battlefield Bad Company 2 has managed to prove so popular that yesterday the concurrent users in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 surpassed that in Battlefield 2 which has been going strong for almost 5 years.

So they are actively working on the problem, It also seems they have many more players than they were expecting. So it's at least good to see the game is proving very popular. :)
