How do people login to the veteran website? Is it done using your EA Login because if so I can't even login for some reason even after resetting my password and trying every password I can think of under the sun.

I logged in with my battlefield account information, worked fine.

Strange, can't seem to login using the same information as I do in game, oh well I would of only ended up with a 1 next to my name since I only kept BF2, 1942 got chucked a long time ago.

Yeah but you'd also receive the M1, which seems great looking at the stats - Should tide my over until I unlock the M14, although I haven't

been able to select the M1 at all :blink:

No one has, I have a vet rank of 5 and not unlocked it. It appears to be disabled.

What a shame, I really want a solid semi-automatic marksman rifle as Assault :(

M14 or G3? :D

[Sethos]

M14 or G3? :D

Read up, not even close to those ranks which why I wanted the M1.

Can someone tell me how I can add BF2142 and BF1943 (PS3) to my Veteran account? BF2 and Heroes worked like a charm though it wont recognize my 2142 acc. I can login ingame and on the 2142 site just fine so there's no issue. Also last time I played it was about a month ago, however the Veteran site said something about linking my BF2142 acc to my EA acc, can't seem to find a way to do so. As for BF1943, I can select it in the drop-down menu but nothing else :blink:

[Sethos]

What's the URL for the stats tracker?

OfficialBFBC2 EA server maintenance which is affecting the Xbox 360 BFBC2 is taking longer than expected. We'll have the servers back as soon as possible.

Of course it is. Something tells me EA is pretty damn ignorant when it comes to LIVE. No other way to explain it. I'd really like to get some inside info on what, exactly, the problems have been (load, bugs, etc.) Hopefully, Major Nelson can shed some light on everything because this has been a ****-poor effort.

Well just popped into town to see if Game/Gamestation would price match. They both had it for ?34.99, while online they both had it for ?24.99. They weren't willing to price match - not even against themsevles (N)

Amazon here I come (when I get home).

This game had better be seriously mind blowingly awesome, otherwise.... *shakes fist*

:p

Oh it is, even I like it! That's the highest honor a game can reach :rofl:

I wish I was recording when I tracer tagged a heli, then shot it down with a rocket, it was epic. This game is epic.

Xbox 360 Battlefield Bad Company 2 crowd the biggest

But PC was leading for a while.

According to DICE, the Xbox 360 version of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has the most players at the moment.

PC players had initially arrived online in larger quantities than on either console, but that's no longer the case.

"During peak US hours the Xbox 360 dominates the player numbers. When that post [the one claiming PC numbers were greater] was made it was the Europeans playing and pushed the PC numbers higher," wrote DICE staffer Bazajaytee on the EA forum.

Could it be because every PC user is thrown off during peak hours, every fifth second? PB issues, Login issues, EA Authentication issues etc. A heap of people even stop playing because of the issues and return later, during non-peak hours to have a chance.

The numbers can't possibly be painting a real image of the situation with all these problems.

I just bought the game yesterday off Steam. I haven't played it yet though since I started the download right before I went to bed. I've been itching to play a modern shooter for a while. I can't get Punkbuster to work on Windows 7 so that means no MW1, and I refuse to buy MW2. So, this is really the only other option.

I really really hope it's good. Sethos, I'm trusting you on this one... :whistle:

EA sucks the big one. However, wouldn't that be issues for the 360 version (and PS3 version) as well? They are all on the EA servers and using EA logins and authentication. Granted, no PB.

I haven't had any issues yet (knock on wood) with the 360 version.

[Pheee]

My ratio is getting back closer to 1 now, first games I had low ratio, but having some good matches now, boosted it backup.

Really enjoying this game, level and unlock system is great. I just like it :D

Nope, there are problems on all three platforms but they appear to be running different servers so the issues

aren't 'connected' and the PC is by far the platform that has taken the biggest hit, error / bug / issues wise.

I haven't heard of any PS3 issues thus far, either there's not enough users to trigger anything or not enough Neowin

PS3 players that report back :laugh:

I lost one maybe two hours over the weekend when playing non stop. The issues are blown out of proportion. EAs master server did crash our server occasionally and we lost 20 mins due to a punkbuster update but that was our providers fault for not telling us there was an update!

Ouch, well that sucks the big one. What are the odds of EA addressing this

No it wasn't, it's because the issues were localized at times or only hit a percentage of people - So you may have been lucky to have

avoided the problems and other people were too but people need to stop dismissing the issues because they were there and some were hit

hard.

Well I'll take it with a pinch of salt. We had over 15 trickery folk on vent playing away all weekend and none of them said anything about outages we didn't all suffer.

Hello all, new to the forums (hence the lack of info in my avatar/sig etc). I want this game so bad! Might have to nip out and pick it up. Which is the better version to get, and what are the reasons for that? Also, are the server issues fixed now?

Oh, and where is best/cheapest to get this? I live in the UK during the week, Ireland at the weekends.
