The Battlefield Bad Company 2 servers were offline while the patches were implemented. Numerous multiplayer issues were addressed along with a few single player campaign not worth mentioning. While their servers were down, EA was directing everyone to check a twitter feed for the latest news.

The beta is out right now. You’re stuck with one game type and one map right now, but it’s a big map and, wait for it, the server browser is included. There are hundreds of servers up right now from all over the world. BFBC2 is, without a doubt, 10x better than Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.

There it is, simple math: BFBC2 > MW2. The only part that worries me is the whole rental-agreement for a dedicated server. Hopefully the mod community will come out in full force after the MW2 debacle. I’d like to host my own private server and have it show up on the public list of private servers. If I have to rely on a 3rd party to host my server, I have no doubt that whatever hacks come out for the game will work on my server. At least I’ll be able to kick hackers and insta-ban them, well, one can only hope.
