Terminator Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) I was doing some nosing around on PSNP after hearing a rumour that the servers for this game weren't working but it looks like EA/Dice may have sunk to a new low and turned them off without warning: "No Games Available ATM" - Battlefield: Bad Company - PSNProfiles Forums Edited July 18, 2015 by Terminator Fixed typo.

Platt Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I was doing some nosing around on PSNP after hearing a rumour that the servers for this game weren't working but it looks like EA/Dice may have sunk to a new low and turned them off without warning: "No Games Available ATM" - Battlefield: Bad Company - PSNProfiles Forums Wouldn't surprise me. Funny enough I was going to get back into this game and try to finish it off considering it's about 7 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potent_Delusions Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 The servers are owned by EA. I HIGHLY doubt they were switched off without warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 The servers are owned by EA. I HIGHLY doubt they were switched off without warning. This ^ I know they are infamous for closing down servers, but at least they give warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) If someone can boot up their copy and try to get into a match then report back, I'd appreciate it as I don't want this to be true anymore than you guys do .

Potent_Delusions Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Same for me, produces that message. EA seem to be giving people the cold shoulder on the forums too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S8N_666 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 It seems odd that they would fix the Catch the Bad Moment Trophy then shut em down, odd, very odd indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfree7 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) Same for me, produces that message. EA seem to be giving people the cold shoulder on the forums too. I'm hoping it just down for a short time Potent. That was one I was going back to. It seems odd that they would fix the Catch the Bad Moment Trophy then shut em down, odd, very odd indeed. Did get this one done luckily before. Edit: Just tried to log on again and no luck. Please let us know if/when they come back up.

Platt Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) Customer support seems to be purposefully ignoring questions regarding this game. Have been several instances where a user asked something about this and something about another more recent game like Madden and they only reply to the Madden enquiry. Like OP stated, this would be a new all time low to shut it down with no warning. Still up for Xbox which is good news I guess. It it comes back up, this scare really should push all of us to finally finish this game that has been in everyone's backlog for years who's with me?

tzatziki Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I wanted to platinum this game.Damn you EA!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfree7 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 At least a group of us got BFBC2 done. It will be next if this is true. After reading the link in detail that Terminator posted it could be true. If they come back up I'm going on a binge to at least get a few more trophies. Please keep us posted if you hear or read anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshT Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I just tried to connect into a multiplayer match and it says the same for me "No games available at this moment" however in-game leaderboards are still up and working fine so shouldn't they be gone too if the server's are turned off?

item112z Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Some EA representative actually replied on one of BFBC threads on their forums, saying the following F***ed up BS: "Battlefield Bad Company 1 Termination Announced last fall. Gamespy withdrew, and BF BC was supposed to have closed in June of 2014, having been on borrowed time more than a year" He also gave a link to this article that actually doesn`t have any mentioning of BFBC1 servers closure. *What a surprise* Cant stop wondering of how ignorant EA is -____- It would be great if you guys help us to wrap their heads around of what is right to do in such situations. Here is that forum thread: link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platt Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 But why would they bother bringing back the picture server if the game was on "borrowed time"? Makes absolutely no sense. Something about this whole thing doesn't sit right with me. I think they meant to shut down the servers for the two battlefield games mentioned on the EA site (both PC I think) and somebody thought "oh yeah while we're here lets just shut this other BF game down too, nobody will notice" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potent_Delusions Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Some EA representative actually replied on one of BFBC threads on their forums, saying the following F***ed up BS: That's not a mod, it's just a very active member.

item112z Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) New info!!! Looks like EA will not look into this issue until at least 40 people sign under it. So all we must do is just press "Me too' button under the first post in this thread Apparently that "Catch the Bad moment" trophy was fixed exactly the same way after our french community created similar thread on EA forums and asked for support across different web-sites (http://www.playstationtrophies.org/forum/battlefield-bad-company/260406-trophy-catch-bad-moment.html example) and got over 35 people signing under it just before EA fixed the issue. So guys, the situation is not hopeless. Lets storm that "Me too'' button:) Also guys, it will not do any harm if you ask them briefly about the problem on EA Support twitter Edited July 20, 2015 by item112z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potent_Delusions Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Lmao!!!Then why is he posting that crap...?Is he trying to troll? He's probably severely misunderstood. The game wasn't even on Gamespy. New info!!! Looks like EA will not look into this issue until at least 40 people sign under it. So all we must do is just press "Me too' button under the first post in this thread Apparently that "Catch the Bad moment" trophy was fixed exactly the same way after our french community created similar thread on EA forums and asked for support across different web-sites (http://www.playstati...bad-moment.html example) and got over 35 people signing under it just before EA fixed the issue. So guys, the situation is not hopeless. Lets storm that "Me too'' button:) Also guys, it will not do any harm if you ask them briefly about the problem on EA Support twitter Sounds like bullshit to me. MADDEN didn't get 40 "me too"s yet they responded. Also...the photo trophy was fixed due to myself and another user who is actually American talking to developers about it, not a french guy getting 40 me too's. If it does somehow work....we'll have to make a post about Army Of Two masks and get loads of people to "me too" it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
item112z Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) Well, you will never know until you try it. That "French thread" was also created right before the trophy fix. EA is just checking how many people are still intrested in the 7 year old game till they make the final decision i guess. Nothing odd about it Edited July 20, 2015 by item112z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkByke Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) I wouldn't worry. This already happened before with the servers, it's probably just maintenance. Looks like EA will not look into this issue until at least 40 people sign under it. So all we must do is just press "Me too' button Yeah? Who told you that huh? Send this post to 40 friends tonight or a ghost will come and kill you and your dog.... sound like Myspace all over again.

Send this post to 40 friends tonight or a ghost will come and kill you and your dog.... sound like Myspace all over again. My friend received this statement from EA. There is no reason for me to not trust him. You wanna get your servers back, show some support. Its pure logic. Knowing that something like that happend just before ''Catch the 'Bad' Moment" fix also says something. No need to be difficult mate. Thats not something that requires a lot of effort to do. Try it and we will see what happens Edited July 21, 2015 by item112z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
