Of course the timing of this leak has nothing to do with Bad Company 2 hitting the shelves...
of course the video went down about 20 seconds after I posted it, screenies still exist though
I think this chap has...
BC2's teething issues continue:
We are sending out new servers to our providers called "R5". They will be testing them out and changing over the servers by tomorrow evening. This server contains some fixes for the "Connection to the server has been lost" message that a lot of you will have seen.
We are also working on making another new server over the weekend as EA has set up some dedicated front-end boxes just for Battlefield Bad Company 2 which we will update the server to use and should work to improve the stability of connections to EA for everyone.
The good news is at least they offer feedback unlike MW2...
The season is a week away, so a timely reminder for your calendars, smart phones and so on and handily enough, no typing required...

Oh, the server bowser won't break any speed records either.
On the plus side, it has protection against cheats, it has dedicated servers and potentially a rosy future given the huge size of maps. Here are some tips on faster server browsing
To help speed up your server browsing these tips can help you get results quicker.
If you use the server browser then
Use the server browser
When it starts to search click CANCEL
Select the options:
You can use your friends list in game to connect on them without accessing the server browser. Sadly the friends list was not functioning yesterday either.
TL:DR:
Buggy, cue version 1.1.
Personally, I'm pretty good, though the ridiculous amount of cheating douchebags means I will cease playing it this week once Bad Company 2 goes live. In the meantime, this is nice montage for those who fail...
Changes at the back end seem to have affected the website databases in the last day or so. I received word from our hosts last night that the move was complete, so things should settle back down...
