| Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Server Update (2010-03-07) |
| BY: GordonVanDyke of DICE/EA POSTED: Mar 07, 2010, 12:37PM |
| After optimizations and restarts yesterday, we had been stable across all platforms. Unfortunately, we encountered another outage at approximately 9:30 AM PST today. |
- 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 actively engaged in diagnosis and remediation. We are adding additional services to alleviate load. Despite having a major infrastructure in place, the peak traffic this weekend has been huge, 400% higher than any other Battlefield''s peak simultaneous users. The teams will continue to monitor the services closely. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and will provide further updates on the latest developments as they are relevant. |

Well its twelve days to go and there is more news on the dedicated servers for Battlefield Bad Company 2
A recent blog post about the server administrative interface appeared on EA''s site:
| | Remote Administration interface for BFBC2 PC |
| | BY: MikaelKalms POSTED: Feb 05, 2010, 02:48AM |
| | Hi again! |
| | A lot of people are asking about server administration. What''s up there? |
| | A little background |
| | Since the Frostbite engine had not yet been used for any PC titles, there had been no need for advanced server administration tools. BFBC2 PC changed that however.
There was a sort of "server console" thing, but it was intended for developer use only. Something easier to use and more stable was necessary when we came closer to release it to the PC users. |
| | So what are we doing? |
| | We are creating a separate command console, which is stable, and where the commands will not change. This will be the Remote Administration interface for BFBC2 PC. BF2 console commands have been a good source of inspiration :)
The Remote Administration interface is accessible over a network port on the game server. |
| | While we ensure that there is a solid administration interface, we are not creating any fancy tools. Why not? Because the community will do a much better job! RSPs have already been using the interface for weeks, and several people are working on user friendly tools. We will continue to improve the protocol with functions that are necessary to make good tools. |
| | When Closed Beta Server R5 (yes, we have already patched the game servers 3 times. I love our new patching system) is released, the RSPs will be allowed to expose the Remote Administration interface on their servers to the public... and we will publish the FULL protocol specification. You have my word on that. |
| | Closed Beta Server R6 has been released, and the protocol is now public. |
| For those of you not playing the beta, here is a taste of what some have been doing for the past couple of weeks: |
|
| And this just in! EA said: "For the PC Beta players we want to thank you for all your feedback so far, it has been extremely valuable to help ensure a fantastic first PC release on Frostbite. We also want to mention we have contacted PBBans (one of the streaming providers everyone used by top clans for Punkbuster ban enforcement) to help us work on a global ban-list solution to help ensure the best experience for everyone playing BFBC2 on the PC." |

| Starbucks Through Your USB |
|

| raggety writes "In their ongoing effort to get more people addicted to their coffee. Starbucks has introduced their version of the USB thumb drive called the "Starbucks Plug-n-Pour". This new gadget allows you receive fresh Starbucks coffee directly through your USB drive. Don''t believe me? Check out the picture (link at the bottom).
This is almost as good as Brett Favre coming out of retirement again and playing for the packers. Just think of all the time you could save getting your coffee without having to go to the coffee house and it''s still hot. They even have a beta group for those that want to test it out. You can check it out and signup here.
In response, McDonalds has announced that they''re working on a McNugget dispenser that can be put in place of the DVD drive called the "iButtnugget".
April Fools!!"

| PS3: A serious case of Consolitious |
|
|
|
| raggety writes "A British online paper called the Mirror is reporting a very odd story. At the center of it all: a Playstation3 and GTA4. The cast and characters? A couple who had been living together for over 30 years and their 10 year old son. The background? The couple buys their son a PS3 and a copy of GTA4. The end result is a dead woman from playing GTA4 every night till 5 or 6AM. It seems that the system was setup in the bedroom and the husband wasn''t getting any sleep (due to her gaming addition). So in his sleep deprived state, he decided to act out like some WoW character and stab her 20 times.
Can you say over reacted? I can see the guys point that he needs some sleep but this is a tad excessive. I wonder if he checked the receipt to see how much she paid for it and went into a rage? All he had to do was take it back or mash it up into itty bitty PS3 meatballs but NOOOOO, the gaming industry takes another black eye for someone''s rage issues. I can already see the parents reaction. Kids will be banned from playing this game and they won''t get that PS3 they wanted for Christmas (and that''s a bad thing???). There will be congressional hearings about the rating system on video games. Uncle Creepy will play his version of "7 mins in heaven" with me except there''ll be alot more screaming. In short, the apocalypse.
The topper on the cake for this little goat rodeo we call a family is that the man was sentenced to life in prison today. For those you having trouble with remembering your own birthday, today is April Fool''s day. The interwebs is abuzz with deciding whether this is a hoax or not. I''ll let you decide.
On the plus side, maybe this could increase the KOF membership since it means that there will be less consoles and more PC gaming. At least until someone decides to go postal on their Chihuahua for turning their WoW character into a gay troll.

| Battlefield: Heroes - Return to Toontown |

 raggety writes "Remember when you were young (for some that may be a bit difficult) and there was that one annoying kid who would copy every word you said? You would say something and they would just repeat it. Just so they could annoy the living shizzle out of you!! Remember how you wanted to choke them till they turned blue in the face? Well, now you can. The annoying kid is EA Games and they''ve decided to copy another company called Valve. It wasn''t enough that they had to drag out the Battlefield series to make us cough up cash like a cat with a furball but then they had to copy someone else''s game.
And so we come to Team Fortress2. If you''ve played TF2, you know that Valve has created a semi-amusing game that features different classes based on the original TF but the way that Valve set it apart from other games is the cartoonish style of play. Enter "Battlefield: Heroes" from EA Games. For those of you that are unaware, this game is a cartoon. A literal cartoon. Once again, EA lacks all originality and decides that they want in on the Valve action. So they take the Battlefield series and tack on one more version for everyone to cough up their furball.
Here''s a suggestion EA, since you can''t seem to come up with any new games, I''ll help you. Let''s try Battlefield: Civil War. When you enter the game, you start as a private entering basic training. Out comes the Drill Sergeant who sounds like the one from the movie Full Metal Jacket. He starts yelling in your face with things like "You wanna make Abraham Lincoln your biotch DON''T YOU!?!?" and "The thought of beating Ulysses S Grant into submission sexually excites you DOESN''T IT?!?!" Ok, maybe I didn''t think that idea all the way through. Either way, it has more originality than EA.
If you wanna see this mockery of a game and actually play it, the beta has been reopened for your fornication. This should be about as much fun as having a laser pointed at your cornea''s while flying a 747.
