E.T.

That was a good idea with the AA server browser but if I remember correctly it took twice as long to find the servers and even then it quite often didn't show any aussie servers even if there was some.

Nah, I dont remember it being slow at all. Its takes about 3min ever time I hit search in BFBC2 to resolve anything. We always had no problem finding servers with AA. Anyhoy, I'm going to try out the tips that have been given in this thread later tonight. There has been some very specific advise and I'll follow it.

If servers aren't showing a ping, right click on the BFBC2.exe and click run with administrator privileges (as suggested by EA).

I'm really keen to buy this game but I'm still waiting to see E.T not whinging on here. I figure if they can get a cranky old f*** like that happy it should be pretty solid.

Still haven't grabbed a copy of BC2, but I remember in the review some of the comments mentioned waiting a couple of weeks for the first couple of patches to come out.

I guess this is one step closer eh? Can someone clarify how well it runs? The review mentioned a similar rig as mine, with the exception that I have a 8800GTS, not a GTX. I remember hearing the requirements were going to be beastly, and the beta ran horribly (Although most of it was latency and poor optimization)

hehe, Hi Craig :)
Stay tuned, I'll let you know mofo.

Why do the servers need to be approved? Why can't they just release a dedicated server package like Valve do?

Isn't it because of the ranking system?

They should have done what Modern Warfare 2 does. I love being able to just get into the game and hit find me a game. It's awesomely awesome.

The price of just dropped back down to $50 on Steam too, I bought it yesterday for $70 :(

It does have that option, it's just s***. Much like MW2.

Woot!

Only $49.95 now on Steam so I figured I'd grab a copy. Haven't played a good FPS for a while.

how big is the download fellas?

I dunno dude. Steam said it needed about 5gig HDD space so it might come down compressed. Mines still leeching atm.

On the right of the server browser change your region/location to oceana for Australian servers or just search for GameArena, it's case sensitive.

If you are talking about consoles then no idea
