"The popularity of Battlefield: Bad Company 2's multiplayer component seems to have taken EA and developers DICE by surprise, as gamers playing the title on PS3, PC and Xbox 360 have been taking it in turns to each have their platform of choice see online connectivity issues and server outages since the game's launch last week.
The situation came into sharp relief on Friday (when the game launched in the UK) and over the weekend, as staff at EA and DICE scurried to keep servers online long enough to keep players playing, but even their best efforts seemed not be enough with reports of games being dropped mid-match, no doubt as servers buckled under demand."
