Anyone who has been trying to get online with Battlefield: Bad Company 2 knows that the choice to use dedicated servers has come with a couple "issues," thankfully EA is on top of the situation and we wanted to pass along this official update direct from the horse's mouth,
>which was issued late yesterday via EA.com:
- After optimizations and restarts yesterday, we had been stable across all platforms. Unfortunately, we encountered another outage at approximately 9:30 AM PST today.
- X360 was severely impacted, and the service is being restarted. It should be back online and we are monitoring closely.
- PC had an outage, but the service is offline currently and the service is being restarted. It should be back online and we are monitoring closely. We will then start checking the quality of the customer experience to determine possible next steps.
- PS3 appeared to have a brief outage, but has quickly recovered and the services is functioning properly at this time.
"All teams are actively engaged in diagnosis and remediation. We are adding additional services to alleviate load. Despite having a major infrastructure in place, the peak traffic this weekend has been huge, 400% higher than any other Battlefield's peak simultaneous users. The teams will continue to monitor the services closely. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and will provide further updates on the latest developments as they are relevant."
Editor's Note: Even with these multiplayer server issues, that are for the most part already fixed, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is an amazing first-person shooter and should not be overlooked for any one of the reasons above. My advice is to go play some of the single-player campaign while the MP servers are down, it's well worth the time and one of the best aspects of the game. See you online!
