BC2 High Game Server Demand pushes capacity past 150k player slots
Yesterday an article went up at VE3D stating that DICE has asked all GSP’s to turn off idle servers and it caused a bit of a stir in the community. While there is some truth to the article it also has a number of inaccuracies which we’ll explain here.
This was not asked of all GSP’s but only to one of our closest GSP’s, Multiplay.co.uk. We approached them with the idea of shutting down servers that have had no players in the server for 8 hours with the option of opting in or out for the server owners.
Come guys want to try itGet right to the best action with the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Battle for PAX Tournament. Squad up with three of your closest buddies and dominate the all new Squad Deathmatch multiplayer mode as four teams of 4 duke it out in the fully destructible environments online. The top four teams of the online tournament will be invited to Penny Arcade Expo East in Boston, Massachusetts for a chance to win in the $10,000 finals! Register now before it's too late. BattleFeild: Bad Company 2US, January 29, 2010 - I have to admit, I used to be a bona fide Battlefield junkie. In fact, IGN played so much Battlefield 1942 that some of the editors took to living in the office. I honestly wasn't as big a fan of most of the sequels until Bad Company came around. So when DICE announced the PC beta for Bad Company 2 yesterday, I was first in line to download it and, consequently, the first to endure the pre-release connectivity issues. Things have smoothed out since then and I've been able to play through a few rounds of the PC demo. If this is a sign of things to come, we might have to think about breaking out the IGN sleeping bags again. The new beta map is Port Valdez, the harbor at the southernmost end of the Trans Alaskan Pipeline. The Russians are dropping in to take the port from the Americans and neither side is willing to give up. From the initial plane drops, the Russians will advance through snow-covered hills and industrial urban areas as they seek out US M-COM stations. Port Valdez supports the Rush game mode, so the US will have to defend their stations until the Russians run out of respawn tickets.
