ACR Pulls Out The Win

Posted by Berdie — 2010-08-20T00:00:00-04:00

      The setting was Laguna Alta, ACR starting on the offense in sqaud rush mode. The Opt-4 was Baptized By Fire on the Defense. The first objective was a medium abandoned building in the middle of a small but quaint town, a river on the east side rushed through this town. ACR used this river to start it's offense and trecherous battle against BBF. After a lot of bullets and bodies flying through the aire and with only 5 tickets left, ACR was able to destroy the first of two objectives. ACR immediately moved to the second and final objective. Again ACR utilized the river to move into the next battle. This objective was set on above us on top of a hill surrounded by cliffs with only two ways in. Working as a team we surrounded the objective and made our assault. The battle was back and forth, arming on ACR's part and unarming on BBF's part but to our dismay the 20 tickets ran out before the opjective could be taken down.
    Now it was BBF's turn at the offense, the setting was the same and to ACR's surprise the first objective was taken quickly and we were back up to the last and 2nd objective. The commander with a cool head told his troops to take a deep breath and dig in for the assault to come. Again the bodies and rounds were flying through the air and with seconds left on the M-com and 1 ticket left on the offense a body was found and downed. The deffense prevailed and stopped the persistant BBF troops.
    After a rest and fresh troops being brought in, this battle went on for another two more rounds and one more troops refresh. Hats off to the troops of BBF for a truly well fought battle but ACR was able to put the win in their column. The rules were set before the match and BBF kept true to this setting and a very fun and gentleman like battle was fought. Great job to the troops of ACR and lets keep this feeling of fun and respect going in the next battles to come!

Battlefield Bad Company 2 Patch News

Posted by heavytanker — 2010-06-25T07:48:11-04:00

From the desk of the EA site:
I am happy about the warm welcome I received from you guys and hopefully this is the beginning of something GREAT!
This is the latest update on the lag issue on the NA servers.
The DEV team have been working hard to find a solution to this issue for quite some time now and we think that we have a possible fix now that will roll out gradually over the next few days as the console servers are currently undergoing maintenance in North America to resolve the lag issues being experienced.
PlayStation 3 maintenance is complete with Xbox 360 servers being maintained during today on servers that empty to avoid disrupting your game sessions in progress. If you are in America and Canada you can set your EA profile to your country of residence to connect to your local servers which should be lag free once again when maintenance is complete. Report any continued lag issues to us on our forums http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk.
I would also like to add that the BFBC2 PC patch is currently still in development and we have sent it for STEAM compatibility testing today. All being well the patch will be released early next week. For information on what the patch fixes take a look at the changelog on the official forums at http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk.
I would also like to announce every Wednesday from now on to be “Community Wednesdays” where I will give you guys a weekly update in the form of a blog post, but also in forums and a direct link to this on the official BFBC2 twitter account at http://twitter.com/OfficialBFBC2 .
In these community Wednesday posts I will supply you with information regarding the game

Moving Website to newer server.

Posted by MajRip — 2010-05-03T06:11:13-04:00

Over the past few months many of you have been experiencing problems with little site outages, this has become very annoying. So after working with our provider for a bit we have determined the issues and are working towards a solution. Unfortunately the solution will be to move to another server, this will require some downtime to accomplish. We will not be the only site affected; there are about 6 sites and databases that I need to move. 3FL will be affected by this move as well. If you have any concerns please feel free to contact me on TS3. The outage will be from 8PM 03MAY10 and should be back in service by 8PM 04MAY10

Thanks,

MajRip
