I did a search, I didn't find anything.
So. There seems to be a problem with EA servers right now : for several days, all I have had while trying to play BC2 is a 'Failed to login soldier' message. It's doesn't seem to affect all BC2 palyers, there may be a workaround if you can generate a new soldier, but the situation seems murky and EA hasn't expressed itself on the matter - which, I believe, send a really bad signal just before BF4's launch.
Do somebody know what it's going on ?

I had to create a new lvl1 soldier and it works. Still a pain as I have to redo all my level-up; I feel sorry for people who have lost thousands hours of MP progression this way.
See the thread on Steam :

Explanations varies from 'there has been a fire in the servers room' to 'EA (or Dice) decided to purge accounts to make some room for BF3 and BF4 accounts'.
Apparently, we still haven't had an official statement from EA about the situation.

People with all lowercase in their username are still level 50 or whatever. It seems unlikely that EA stored all lowercase names in a different server room. Seems like some kind of logic failure, hopefully one that didn't delete accounts, just is making them inaccessible.

EA, always a comedy goldmine
For the time being, they are just beginning to publicly admit the existence of the problem. Probably not a good sign of seeing it resolved quickly, though.

The last time I played, (a few weeks ago), I was in full games.
Depends on time of day. Last time I played with Rock we had 8 players max. 4 across both teams. Just like BC1 it seems.
PC is still kinda-busy but just as "small."
Raise your Capitals. Issues fixed.

So, BattlefieldGAF, I would appreciate some help. I have 2 destruction 2.0 kills left to get in Bad Company 2 on PS3 to get my last online trophy. I have been having a hell of a time getting them as the servers are almost dead.
Would a group be willing to help me boost the trophy?
I also posted this in BF3 Console thread for better visibility.

After playing the PS3 Beta for BF4, a few of my friends and I decided to go back and play this to see if it was just nostalgia and looking at the past through rise-coloured glasses that made us all feel that BFBC2 was far superior to the BF games that followed it.
Nope. This game is absolutely fantastic, and playing it back to back with the BF4 Beta only highlighted what a superior experience BFBC2 is. We're playing most nights again just like the heydays, although we only tend to find full 24 player matches over the weekends. It doesn't matter, even half full this game is the best MP experience you can have on current gen consoles

This is really tempting me to pick this up again. I hate to for just this week, but it's gotta be cheap.

$3-4 at Gamestop
This isn't a necrobump. This is a reminder that this is the best Battlefield game out there, that it's only a dollar on Origin right now, that the PC community is still kicking, and that you should all totally buy this game 30 times instead of wasting your time with Battlefield 4.

I'm trying so hard to get back into the first, let alone the second. The first is terribly difficult.
The controls in the first are so stupid.

They aren't that bad. It's L2 for like gadgets and R2 for primary and self-injector or other gadget for non-Assaults.
Then there's no select smashing to spot. So you just ADS and fire at folks to auto-spot them.

BFBC2 was a massive jump over BFBC1 in my opinion. I know people love the more expansive maps of BFBC1, but the core gameplay elements were still pretty wonky in my opinion. BFBC2 was a tour-de-force in comparison.

Holding L3 to run sucks and Triangle for Knife confuses me i have no idea why.
Nice to see people still playing the game though.

Holy shit I just reinstalled this game on PC after 4 years and I had so much fun. There is something about this game, something special. Maybe it's the memories that I have or I don't know but I haven't enjoyed playing a multiplayer game this much in years. I usually suck at fps shooters online but I was dominating in rush for 4 rounds straight. Anyone still play?
