Hey there, beleaguered Battlefield Bad Company 2 players. Feel like you’ve been tricked into paying to be part of an extended beta test? Well, sad to say, the storm’s not over yet. At 12 PST tonight, EA brought the servers down yet again for more maintenance. This comes, of course, after a weekend of more ups and downs than a botched entry of the Konami Code. But, if it’s any consolation, there is a silver lining to your sufferings.
“PC currently has more people playing and are in game servers than both the consoles,†said associate producer Gordon Van Dyke.
Don’t break out the confetti just yet, though. We’ve won the battle, sure, but we haven’t quite won the console war.
Â
“The PC had more players than either console not more than both consoles combined,†Van Dyke added. “You’ll need to work to beat both consoles’ combined effort.â€
Still though, that’s certainly something. See, publishers? If you build it with PC gamers in mind, they will come. So learn from EA and DICE’s example – well, minus the server part, obviously. And speaking of servers, maybe Ubisoft might be willing to take a few pointers from DICE once it gets out of this DRM-heavy rebellious phase. We sure hope so, anyway.
