[PC] Battlefield Bad Company 2 - Australian Server Hosted by Arcayne Only if We Use It

Hi All,

As per the comment section in the Bad Company 2 deal, Arcayne has been hosting a Battlefield Bad Company 2 server called Gammin 4 Lyfe [bc2] for some time and due to people not using it, will shut it down. Arcayne has generously offered to keep it going another month to see if we can get any interest in it. If people use it, it will stay up.

I would like to think there is still some interest out there to play this game. BF3 and BF4 still get plenty of love but for me BC2 was the best. So I'm hoping that we can get some interest expressed here and hopefully line up a regular time to play. No reason it needs to be just once a week but I think if we can achieve one night a week with a populated server and everyone has fun that would be a great start.

I've thrown together some suggestions on times to play, afternoon is 12pm - 6pm and evening is 6pm - 12am AEST. You are not committing to a 6 hour block of play, it is more of gauging interest as to what is the best time of week for you.

Maybe this is a waste of time but I figure it is worth trying as it is a great game.

    BC2 is so good, I still remember killing kids with smoke launchers.

      And after that you went back to the game?

  • Good to see there is a bit of interest, I'll jump on Saturday evening around 7pm given that is the most popular time and hopefully you'll all be able to join in. Please spread the word however you can because if we can manage at least 20 people on the server I think that will be enough for some fun.

    I'll be jumping on about 7pm, can't wait!

    • I'm sorry mate, after all the anticipation to play I reinstalled BC2 on PC to get things sorted for tonight and PunkBuster is kicking me from your server. I imagine it will kick me from any server, I didn't try others. I've tried all the fixes I could find online but nothing seems to be working. Checked firewall, checked that the services are running, used pbsetup to make sure bfbc2 is added and up-to-date. Nothing is working. Really wish I could be playing tonight.

      • noooooooooooo. did it say why punkbuster kicked you?

        • Not having the correct version of punkbuster running, although I had run pbsetup, updated everything, and my version number was good. repeated the whole process after removing everything and still no good. Both A and B services were running and both were allowing any application to use them in the firewall for incoming connections. No good.

            @WeiKaiLe: It was the server. I've had it fixed up, although only 2 of us showed up anyway. Looks like I have to let the dream of reviving this beauty of a game die :(

              @Arcayne: Oh man, that really sucks. I wonder if others had server issues and gave up. I noticed someone on there around 6pm when I was furiously trying a few more options to get it working but maybe they went through the same trouble.

              Anyway I totally understand and it is a shame it has to die but if people can't make the time to play then we can't be asking you to keep it alive. Thanks for hosting it all this time even if I didn't get a game on it. Appreciate you doing that for the community.
