Battlefield Bad company 2

What system do you play it on?

Ps3, and right now still no luck. I did some more research and all of the problems were occurring back in March/May.

But a few guys were talking about how it was still doing it to them to this day. The wierd part is I got a few good games in. But now I guess the servers are just too filled up.

I also use the 360, but they have never had service problems for BFBC2.

Really? When I was reading up trying to find the problem, some guys were talking about how the problem was on PC, xbox, Ps3, etc.

Cannot disagree with you though, as my friends all have xbox and I believe they never had a problem either. Maybe just lucky, or the problems only occurred for alittle while. All I know is that its not my connection thats the problem as every other game works fine.

The main reason for that is because xBox users pay, thus microsoft has a staff that maintains the servers. so if there is a problem it doesnt last very long. where as pretty much every game I have heard of that is a Massive Multi-player game has had problems on the PS3 since they basically just throw the servers up and check in on them once in a while to make sure they havent all crashed... same reason they stopped making all the PS3s backwards compatible, its was costing a (*@#& ton of money to update all the games to work on it.

I just spent about two hours talking to tech support. I tried a bunch of different things they told me to do, and now am waiting on some test results. Not even sure what the tests are going to achieve, but I felt like cooperating since I am no computer whizz.

Anyways, its really a shame. All my other games are up and running, and the fact that EA responded by saying "we are not experiencing any connection errors". I felt like typing up a major rant, and including links to all the forums that have people saying how they cannot connect to the game. But for now, I decided to cooperate with them, and see where that gets me. If that does not lead me anywhere, watch out EA, here comes fuzzy.

dude i had the same problem for a week on and of but after that time frame it just started working. and i havent had that problem in like a month.
P.S
the best sniper game and a whole bunch better than MW2

Yeah this game does rock!

I love the way bullets act in flight. I just wish that I could play online.

Ambush, it sounds like it is not a problem on our end, but a problem on theirs. I mean, it worked for a day, and then stopped. Every time I tell them that my other games work and all, they ignore it and say contact your internet company. I am so close to just returning the game now, because online is so much fun, and without it, it is basically torture for me. The campaign is good, but online is just so much fun. Its like having a great fully upgraded sniper rifle, but no bbs.

Edit: This is my LATEST conversation with good ol' EA tech support.

: I am having some major problems with Battlefield Bad Company 2. Every time I come here for help, support says its my end thats the problem. However, it worked for a day and stopped working after that. By not working, I mean the internet connection fails to connect to EA. But all my other games work for online play, whats up with the servers??
DORIAN: May I have some information to investigate the issue?

ya mine pulled through. i was about to return it but it started working.. i hope it starts working for you to bud. ive heard some bad things about EA servers...

You need to start playing online woogie, it makes the game worthwhile.

LOL oh yeah I know it does. I usually don't have time or can't stand getting rolled over and over. It is one thing to play in a LAN party, but online you get all those punk little kids .... .

That is why i turned so that i only can talk to my friends.

LOL.... Yeah I hear that.
