BFBC2 server issues due to overwhelming server demand - 400% more than expected

badcompany2_battlefieldEA DICE was apparently unprepared for the huge demand for Battlefield: Bad Company 2, so much so that the online multiplayer portion of the game keeps being hindered by server issues. You'd be unprepared too if the demand is 400% higher than what you expected.

 

Both the Xbox 360 and PC servers have been getting issues, with the Xbox 360 being the hardest hit, resulting to the servers going completely offline earlier. EA DICE was quick to be on the case, however, and the server has now been restarted.

 

The PC server, on the other hand, is still being restarted. Both will be continuously monitored closely. PS3 gamers are all good, though, despite the brief outage they experienced.

 

EA reassures that they're definitely working 'round the clock to make sure that they'd be able to contain any more of these issues.

Im actually happy to hear that. I dont mean it in a way to bash PCs or 360s in any way. Im just glad that BFBC2 is getting the attention it deserves n that COD is not monopolising the war FPS market anymore.

The only only time I've witnessed the server going down on the PS3 was last night at about 2am eastern so I just went to bed. :P

it went down on Saturday afternoon for a few hours. BFBC2 couldnt have come out at a better time though, because of mw2's failure it will get a lot of new players

mabye its because there are many illegal copies used on both the 360 and the pc. ps3 doesnt have that piracy problem...

on another note, i'm curious about this game, too bad i didnt try the mp demo when it was still in use...

check your firewall settings. I used to get kicked every 5 minutes, until I changed my router's ports to allow BFBC2 traffic.
