For everyone thinking that we were alone yesterday regarding the bad company 2 launch, we are not alone.
Here are articles regarding the launch, I will update as necessary:
"If you’re one of the thousands of people who tried to log on yesterday and blow stuff up in DICE’s newest installment in the Battlefield series only to be met with frustration; take solace in the fact that you’re not alone.
Not to discount the single player portion of the game, Bad Company 2 (and all of the Battlefield games) are known for their multiplayer. It just so happens that everyone else who bought the game last night realizes this and tried to log on and play. Unfortunately they were met with countless issues. In no specific order of severity, Dustin and I had the servers crash on us mid-game, have the EA servers (stat and login servers) spontaneously disappear, and have had to wait a good two to three minutes for servers to populate. I’ve also run into a nice little bug that automatically kicks you from any game you try to join.
People (as per usual) are up in arms and have posted wildly on the forums as seen here and here.
I can’t speak as to the severity of these issues on the 360 or PS3, but if you have anything to add, please do.
As a developer, I love DICE, they’ve brought me some of the best gaming experiences in the last 10 years or so. But almost like clockwork, their games don’t exactly perform the best under launch conditions. I have faith though, that in the next 24-72 hours most of the server issues will be remedied and expect news of a patch sometime next week.
Expect our review of Bad Company 2 at the end of the week. That is, if we can actually get online to play."
