Arghhh, tis getting annoying now. You'd think they'd put more effort into getting enough servers ready before the launch and dwindle them down as demand drops rather than scrimping to save a few ££ on the servers from the begining

Not for me on 360.. EA are pretty useless surely it cant take much to work out that if your releasing a huge multiplayer online game across 3 platforms you just might need a few extra more reliable servers...
Not really any excuses really.. EA Fail..... Again.

If you can name a single major multiplatform (or even single platform) release that performed well in its initial days I will give you a cookie.
The implication that only EA suffers from this sort of malaise is laughable. Both Modern Warfare games across each platform struggled to keep their servers up on the week of release, as did Halo 3 which was Microsoft's golden goose. A myriad of other online games failed to keep their services afloat on initial days too, like Warhawk and Gran Turismo 5: Prologue.
EA may fail, but short term memory fails harder.
Whilst many online games fail in the 1st few days This game has had a lot of "public" testing, in some way.
BF1943 (I assume some code is the same as this game, certainly some bugs are
), a PS3 Beta, a 360 MP demo and a PS3 MP demo, and presumably some PC demo/beta.rp2000
Well its weird its only been a major affect on 360 Live then...also its seems EA's servers acrossa lot of games are going **** up tonight.
With the size of EA, they should know better, and should have learned better, and, well they actually do know better, but have gone the cheap not enough servers route.

I don't think it matters who it is. Well to me it isn't. I'd be moaning whoever the company was.
What gets me, is after so many major releases, across various companies, you'd think they would learn from theirs and others mistakes.
You'd think they'd over compensate the amount of servers for launch to allow the initial influx of players to be less servre on the service they are supposed to be providing.
Well I do like this game (from the limited amount of play time I had), I hope they sort the server issues out.
Maybe someone can help me with a few pointers as I'm a complete n00b to the BC world.
Playing as a medic why can I not heal anyone? Do I have to unlock this kit?
Do I have to do anything on conquest to capture points? Or is it like MW2 and I just stand near the flag?
I do really enjoy playing his though it offers something different to MW2 in play style.

I do like conquest but it just seems a waste of time, might aswel call it team deathmatch. You should have joined me, Tried&Tested & Wyrdo last night, we had some good rush games.
Love this game, even better when you've got a decent squad that knows what they're doing. If each of the squad takes a different class, you should theoretically be unstoppable
Having 4 medics would make you unstoppable. Die, revive, die, revive, die, revive
Q) Why do I suck so much in this game? Is it the fact the early weapons you get with the classes (I'm rank 0) 
are weak and under powered?
I did keep trying but the game invite kept disappearing after you had sent it. I'm going to start using my headset for this game, as I think it's a must.
