Battlefield 2: Bad Company and Battlefield 1943 announced

[tj1182]

It appears the servers overloaded.

From Battlefield Blog.

Website Update: The site is available again. We are monitoring it to see if the issue occurs again. We are now only fetching the stats every 15 minutes, so the stats updates may be slow. The leaderboards only update once an hour.

Game Update: The game issue is separate from the web entirely and is already being worked on. I don't have the ETA.

Much different from MW2, but I am enjoying it very much. I seem to do better with the Recon class as I have to go much more slowly. I make sure to scope around and try to spot the opposing team.

The only other class I've had any luck with is the Engineer class. I tend to be able to help more when I lurk back and protect the flanks than trying to attack when playing Rush. There's just too much going on for this old dude at the main point of attack.

Didn't they have server problems when they released 1943 also?

IDK if it's just me or what, but I think I prefer HC over just regular.

Oh, and someone help me with this UAV. Ok, I get firing missiles, but someone said there was a machine gun..how does that fire?

Only got one match in before the servers went down, but I was there with Longhorn, Dookie, EG, and I guess a few other guys. I actually managed to take a helicopter out of the sky with a rocket launcher. It was awesome time the lead.

Sorry, can't help you with that, I can't even fire missiles in the chopper.
