Bad Company 2 Server Restart

It seems our good friends over at Dice and EA have identified the matchmaking issue. The solution will involve a server restart that will happen within the hour.

They are also working on an early warning system to prevent this happening in the future.

I'd wish my stats would get erased because my friend was playing and all i have now is 1.44 KDR and nothing under 2.00 is acceptable to me. Its taking me ages to get it back up there :-(

Mmmkay5602d ago

i think you got it mixed up...

Persistantthug5602d ago

it usually means you are a camping recon sniper that doesn't do much to help their team...not always, but usually.

Your WIN/LOSS ratio is more important.
After a while, your wins and losses begins to tell a story about you.

Ducky5602d ago (Edited 5602d ago )

KDR means next to nothing in a game like BC2 unless all you do is Squad DM.

Can't you create a new blank account though? That's the desperate course of action.

Hanif-8765602d ago

@Persistantthug My Recon score is the lowest and my Assult score is way up there, i just usually watch my back and try to aim for head shots first. I play a very tactical game.

Megaton5602d ago

I wish I was as cool as you.

GoldPS35601d ago (Edited 5601d ago )

I play for fun. I don't get why kids play for KDR. I don't even know what my KDR is and I don't care. I guess having good stats must make you feel like you good or cool. It's just a game but I guess some people take gaming differently than others.

SwampCroc5595d ago (Edited 5595d ago )

@Persistantthug..... I understand the KDR talk you mention... but however BFBC2 has no stat that tracks Win/Loss ratio.... all it does is show how many times you've won a particular game mode such as Rush or Conquest, etc...

So therefore there is no true way of telling how many physical games you have played total or in each mode. So, therefore you wouldn't be able to find your relative Win/Loss ratio....

So in that regard my friend your logic is flawed.

Now this is real support.
Might get this game soon for PS3.
Should have bought instead of Black Ops though I like it.
Well... It's really unstable :/

@jdktech2010
Ok, cool. Well atleast they aren't threatening to close down and giving up, they "repair" instead. However strange they did not say anything on this issue.

jdktech20105602d ago

To be fair, it took them nearly a week and a half and they had little to no contact with the playerbase on this issue. We were in the dark about what was going on.

I still prefer DICE and EA over Activision's support but they aren't always angels

gta28005602d ago

I'll probably sell my black ops and just get BC2. I never traded or sold a game since I bought my PS3, Ive built up somwhat of a collection but this I will do.

outwar60105602d ago

im thinking of buying this is there a goty version planned?

jdktech20105602d ago

Ultimate Edition already out but no idea if they'll have one with Vietnam

Honestly, I would buy regular edition and buy vietnam.....all you need as BF1943 and Onslaught aren't as good imo

make sure you buy it new though

Zorda20975601d ago

The cammo available in Specact really does work wonders. Worth purchasing that dlc too :)

Ducky5601d ago (Edited 5601d ago )

Well, there's a 'deluxe' version for PC (which is an odd bundle considering the individual games are cheaper than the package) so maybe it's a precursor to a BC2+Vietnam bundle for consoles?

The game is worth the asking price anyways. =)

outwar60105601d ago

thx i'll get the ultimate edition

GamerPS3605601d ago

I am an AN and PP guy :D

I just played this game for about 3 hours today after long time break. It is still fun but I noticed there were alot of new players.

electricshadow5601d ago

Is this why every game I joined had like three people in it? Glad to hear they fixed it.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!

badz14971d ago

cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla

The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result

isarai_lee83d ago

It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way

lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6

lodossrage117d ago (Edited 117d ago )

Wait,

The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.

NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.

thorstein117d ago

No. There were elections and some of the scum were replaced.

TheColbertinator117d ago

Different elections. Different scum. Same results.

rlow1117d ago

i know its a long shot, but i hope this gets shot down.

ZwVw117d ago

EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
