Battlefield Bad Company 2?

[AstroZombie]

I know that EA has deemed that for whatever ridiculous criteria they use that NFO cannot host Ranked servers for previous BF games. My question is, is there any word or possibility that that may change for the new BF BC2 game that is coming out next spring?

I have been trying to get them to talk to me about it through email, but have just been running into a wall. If you can contact them through some other means and let them know how much it'd help the community, I'd appreciate it

We first contacted them before BF2 even came out. At one point they said we were "at the top of the waiting list". What's crazy is that they've let other companies into the BF2 program since then, but not us.

On another subject, in your sig, I think you meant 66.150.121.34

I can get a few people to email EA I dont know how much that will work but that answer is always no unless you ask.

just wondering if there's been an update on this topic...

[Edge100x]

We've been in contact with DICE, and EA is currently considering the case (or at least, so I've been told). I do not know yet what our chances are.

you'll get it.. sales should be brisk as they're saying "no" to public distribution of server files.

Would love to rent a bfbc2 server here instead of some place else

John, tell Nick to get a job at EA that should do the trick on speeding up the whole process
I'd like to be the first one to have a BFBC2 server that is ranked.
Hopefully we get an update before release.
Keep bugging them John, eventually they will let you get it.
Tell them you sponsored big teams are you guys are affilated with huge gaming community's like ESEA.
When is release date by the way?

John, any updates from EA?

[Edge100x]

No update yet, no. I will let everyone know as soon as I have more information.

[AstroZombie]

Any contact info you could pass on to us to help petition them to include NFO?

[Edge100x]

Not really, no

[maelstrom]

i assume that since NF is selling preorders for BFBC2 servers that you have been approved.

[Edge100x]

Hehe, yep. I posted a few news posts after this
