With all the traffic going to the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 servers on opening game weekend they’ve encountered some outages. Well needless to say they are hard at work at fixing the problem. Here’s brief overview of the current server status:

• X360 was severely impacted, and the service is being restarted. It should be back online and we are monitoring closely.
• PC had an outage, but the service is offline currently and the service is being restarted. It should be back online and we are monitoring closely. We will then start checking the quality of the customer experience to determine possible next steps.
• PS3 appeared to have a brief outage, but has quickly recovered and the services is functioning properly at this time.

All teams are working on diagnosing and remediating the issue, including adding additional servers to help alleviate the load. The EA team sincerely apologizes for the inconvenience and I’ll continue to provide you with further updates on the latest developments as they are occur. Feel free to check out the EA Battlefield Bad Company 2 blog for more information on the server outages.
