Could they possibly pick a worse time to take servers offline? And i can't beleive they didn't see this coming and start with more servers initially, isn't that what beta testing is meant to show among other things?

I should add that since this morning and the server upgrade or whatever they did, BCC2 keeps hanging on my PC, just sticks in the middle of a fire-fight for no reason and has to be manually quit with task manager.

very annoying

Been alright for me, played a few maps back-to-back this morning and didn't have one crash compared to the 15 or so last night. The server broswer/friends joining is still ****ed tho, took a while of spamming to get on any server in the first place.
