Battlefield Bad Company 2: EA addressing Xbox 360 problems – Twitter

By: Alan Ng | March 7, 2010 | 74 Comments

EA has confirmed that they are looking into a drop in the number of players on the Xbox 360 version of recently released Battlefield: Bad Company 2 – presumably related to server issues which have been affecting all three platforms of the game.

Yesterday, we asked you how many of you were getting error messages from EA when trying to play a game, and the response was pretty clear – a lot of you.

It looks like the Xbox 360 is getting hit the most though, as EA stated the following message on their Twitter account last night:

”We are aware of a drop in players on Xbox 360, EA is investigating and we will get the game back for you ASAP.”

Hopefully, the problems get sorted out sooner than later, as EA has done a great job on the multiplayer experience this time around – Hurry up and fix it EA!

Let us know if you have anything to share on this matter. Are you still experiencing problems with the game or not?

    360 not connecting anymore- ugh. I was just about to kill someone when it disconected too.

  • chrisdude

    major connection problems again (uk-xbox360)
    lost my stats, ins and class upgrades 3 times so far. Now its asking for my VIP code again. It wont recognise the code I got when I bought the game, at the state of this.

    Why have servers capable for 2 million users when clearly u's knew it was gonna be a heck of alot more.

  • bfer

    cant connect to ea server wtf this isnt y i bought this game

  • Donlogan85

    "EA Games ruin everything" should be thier new slogan. the game is amazing online, when you can get online. can't be good for business for EA when no other game such as Modern Warfare 2 has no bugs on opening weekends online gaming.

  • http://www.wannaplaybfbc2onlineclub.com TES Killer

    Failed to connect to ea online! Come on guys how many lanches of battlefield games isit goin to take to get them to have running servers from the word go?isit really too much to ask after all the Money u just made from us ?(the gamers)

  • Mohammad

    I have a 360, and it was playing just fine yesterday, and today was good for about 2 hours then the connection problem happend again. so far i havent been able to play again…

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=669934837 Mark Hume

    same here going take gameback shame aswell but 2 days now and ive managed like 20 mins.

  • J.C.R.

    EA have managed to disappoint fans well and truly. You would have thought that a game that would be bought primarily for online play wouldn't have had issues like this! Well done EA, well done.

  • L4Huddy

    An absolute joke! Great game, but didn't EA/Dice learn from the dabacle of the first three days of Battlefield 1943 on the 360?
    So now once again, hanging loading screens, no connection at all & when you finally get into a game…it kicks you several minutes later & you lose all your kills, unlocks, perks ect. that you earned in the session!
    We invest in these games & good money at that, surely they (EA?DICE, whoever..like I care!) anticipated the demand to play this title? If that is indeed the issue…so, two days on & still no better. Pathetic!

  • Rhys

    uk xbox 360 cant connect to ea server all day mar 7th one word GASH!!!!!

  • tim

  • Kato

    EA is aware of this issue, but it actually is a Punk Buster issue….I have yet to play a BF that didn't have server issues at release. A shame b/c they did a great job with this game.

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/tr00p3r tr00p3r

    Yeah..the majority of people are saying the same thing – that it really is a great multiplayer experience. Lets hope they sort the servers out this week. :D

  • aaron

  • Pearl

    it's pretty frustrating for 360…. i can be in an intense game and at the middle of the game everyone gets dropped/ failed connection to ea online. sometimes i won't be able to connect to ea online from the get go. other times i join game and have lost all stats only to have them come back 20 minutes later. this is getting ridiculous… USA

  • james

    xbox not connecting today! no games available

  • Craig

    Every time I log into play multiplayer and I send the invite it kicks me out back to the Xbox main menu dashboard and when I go back in to play all my stats are not set up. Everything I have unlocked I have to go back in and reset all my different classes. It takes up too much time and by the time I get it all done and get into a game the game is almost over. Once I am done with a game and get into another one it kicks me out and I have to reset everything AGAIN. Please fix this b/c it is becoming such a headache that I don't even want to play this game anymore!!!

  • lobo

    Umm, it's still having problems. BC2 Blows!! Back to CoD!

  • Shortround76

    Cannot connect while my three friends play without me again. I was able to play onslaught the first night of the download and not nothing. I spend a lot on software/games and equip and lets just say EA is about to feel a small-time boycott. I am far from the only one.
    EA, you are not impressive.

  • One Shot Neko

    this is bloody annoying me. I just borrowed the game back, I CAN'T connect to any of my friends and it refuses to give me the optional update, I've searched the store, xbox live market place, xbox.com, the multiplayer menu and the battlefield and EA websites and I've found NO HELP WHAT SO EVER

  • jezze96

  • David

    I have a problem that seems to be unique with my game, it all started updating to the new map pack 7 with the new maps. everytime I play the game now and then a message comes up saying game error that the game is unreadable and that I need to clean the disc and restart my console. I do this but still the error message comes up and it won't play.

  • luke

    I could connect last night now I cant connect to ea

  • Bermec

    i still have a problem.(xbox360) me and one of my friends( both norway) can easily play online in any game. but about every time we try on battlefield one of us cant find any games. i get kind of pissed because its so ****** fun and i want to play with him, but one of us always gets a problem. especialy when it comes to joining a squad outside the game. when wer'e both in the game(after a lot of trying) there's few problems to mention.

  • Bermec

    my friend also got that a couple of times, it workd after a while. srry for reviving old comment btw

  • Brett

    I bought my game a couple days ago and really liked the multiplayer until it started saying it couldnt find a game and then it couldnt connect to EA online. I am really missing my money i spent on it

  • Cole Graney

    i don't gain ex and i then had to start from level 1 and cant level up at all

  • Steven

    My online progress is not being saved it says saving.. but i cant unlock any weapons or anything. after a round if i got lets say 800 points it will say i started with -800 and bring me up to a total off 0 points. this happens after every round no matter what im stuck with no weapons. and cant rank up. I'm getting VERY frustrated because last night i got to rank 2 and today it seems EVERYTHING I've done ALL the progress ive made had disappeared and if it isnt fixed soon im not going to waste my money on Vietnam or Battlefield 3 because most likely im going to have another horrible experience. I tried very hard not to swear.
