    Haven't had a single problem with the game/connection yet, I guess I am one of the lucky ones (bought through steam)

    got it today (ps3) - had a couple of connection problems - sorted by restarting the game. only happened twice. froze up once and couldn't do anything with ps3 - thought it was knackered.

    other than that, having fun with it.

    That was due to EA servers crashing I think. But other then tonight it's been top notch for me.

    I've found that some people seem to be luckier then others when it comes to connecting to BC2. I remember when a lot of people were having the same type of problems with BF2 while I had few complaints.

    Generally when you're unable to login, it affects everyone, due to the EA Master server having 'issues'. But besides that the connection problems come down (IMHO) to your pc, your router, your ISP and the server you're trying to connect to. EA will eventually get around to the server stability and Punkbuster problems but I still think a lot of people are going to have problems even then. If you have not managed to get multiplayer to work yet I have troubling feeling that nothing EA does over the next few weeks is really going to help you (though of course I could be wrong).

    Now I'm not saying that the problems are the fault of those who can't get the game to work, I'm just encouraging people to keep on trying new things though if I was a betting man (which I am!) I'd say that should Evd-Burner pop around to my place and bring his PC with him, he'd be able to connect to all the same servers as I can on my PC.

    For me it was just due to the huge amount of time it takes to refresh the server. Never had issues getting on once i found a server that wasnt full.
    But then you often have issues such as hardcore mode being off but crosshairs are set to 0 as well (wtf :p why not just go for hc so), then theres the hugely imbalanced servers, couldnt be arsed with those so hop off again, just getting into a game you dont like the feel of.

    So ya partly due to my own fussiness and stupidity mostly due to the massive search time.
    Thank god for cancelling the server refresh working.
