If you guys are in send me an invite...maybe easier to "piggyback" my way into the lobby/room. Not sure why it didn't connect.

Yeah, I got that a lot too. You just have to keep hitting "A" till you finally get into the MP menu. It will usually fail a few times before you get in. After that you are good to go, join a squad, join a game etc... Everybody I have talked to seems to have the same problem. Just keep trying. Shouldn't take for than a minute or two. Remember, it's a beta.

They had massive server fail last night, the only way to get on was to spam the button till you got it. Most people took about 5min to get on the EA server but once you were in it was all good. Seems better today but getting in with more than 1 friend still seems spotty so time will tell.

It took me about 10 minutes to get in last night. I imagine nights are harder to get on as it's probably a server capacity issue.

Ian Tornay BF Community Manager said last night they had server issues that were offline for hours. I tried at 5pm est and got on just as they were coming back up at 1130pm. This being said, ill be on later since the servers are pretty solid now, so look for me around 1230 or so tonight if anyone wants to play a few rounds.

I've been playing, once I got used to it I started Pwning...I like that it involves more out thinking the other team, more strategy is a plus. I like it a lot! Plus you can hide and not be seen.

I tried to get my xbox running again, but it's red ringed. So I ended up downloading the beta for the PC. It'll finish in 20 minutes.

sh1t.


This is really good.

So I've been really enjoying the Beta (despite the beta-like glitches, lol). I'm looking forward to the final product. I'm hoping for a lot of support as well. I would love to get into a clan match again.
