There have been very few players on the server. The new 4 player min to start scoring really hurts smaller groups and to populate servers.

We did switch to squad rush with 4v4 and the server filled up within minutes. Only needed 3 members to start it going, but makes you wonder why bother with even having a server if you can get same exact setups from so many other servers. Mods and custom maps really gave groups the ability to host unique gameserver setups in cod2/cod4/cod5. Maybe going with just a private server would be better....

With the ingame friends list not working, its difficult to tell how many people are even playing this game now days....

I might go another month with this server to see if things pickup with the new update coming in any day, but if it doesnt change anything then I will drop it. We'll support the new COD7 when it comes out in 6 months.

So yesterday I went into our bc2 server, it was configured for Squad Rush. To my suprise only after few minutes players started to join in. After it got to 6-8 players we started to play for about 5-6 minutues until all the sudden the main game stopped and I received a pop up message from bc2 that my internet connection to the game was dropped. Its almost like I was kicked from our server. So I simply tried to reconnect and the server wasnt coming up as being online. Tried few moments later and there it was again, completely empty.

Apparently our server just decided to restart. I tried to get the server populated and again it just restarted, but this time I was the only one in the server.

I haven't done any changes to the configs, so I am thinking our game server provider is being doing maintenance or performing the server side updates to the latest patch. Either way, it was very annonying and hope it doesnt keep happening!

Here is the reason from support:

There was an issue with EA/Dice's backend system but should be fixed now.

Great.... guess all servers from every provider were affected.

finally email all bc2 clients:

There is an issue with the backend system for BC2 and is causing all servers to crash and restart over and over.
It's being reported to EA/Dice on the email list with them by us and other providers.
EA/Dice are looking into it and will get it cleared as so as possible.

more from our provider:

There is an issue with the backend system and Sprint network. This is causing disconnects for most US providers.

EA is checking into it.

I have temp disabled auto-restarts from our control panel so your server will not restart. Players may still get disconnected tho until this issue is resolved.

The 32slot BC2 server in WDC is being disconnected on 6/1/10.

Depending on interest level, we may get a smaller 16slot server in NYC. Frankly, without mods / custom maps there is extremely little difference from one public server to another public server.

So far so good with our new bc2 server.

We have couple plug-ins running in the background:
- 1st kill announcement
- kill streaks announcements

None stock changes:
- disabled idle kick

I am looking into setting up a remote admin access similar to our webrcon. Some might not know, but PB itself allows you to entire the gameserver web based. Its not pretty looking and mostly involved issuing console commands. I am looking at couple different options including procon or wolfcon which are websites with MySQL DB that continously issue commands to the gameserver. You can create custom restrictions, like limiting the number of snipers per team or even respawn times or number of ticks from default 100 in rush. anyone know more about these?

2 changes have been made:

- removed White Pass from rotation, its just too small and player leave a lot when it comes up
- reduced each map to 1 round, since each round takes 30-35mins

if you have a suggestion, post it.

The server has been cancelled and will go offline about 9/16.

The game is great and fun, but tons of issues and lack of new maps has lead to drastic declines in players combined with soon to be released MOH, BC2 Vietnam, and CODBO, this game has run its course (6months).

We might get a BC2 Vietnam server depending on how good it is.
