I don't know specific server names... I don't think I've been on the same one twice.  And I generally ignore the ping times... they're obviously inaccurate because some show up as zero.  I've had no problems with ping times in the high 200s.

I dunno.  I'm going to a lanparty sometime this week probably... but it'll probably be a local game, unless I can get them to a house with a connection other than satellite.

It doesn't have to be anytime soon or anything.  Just hit me up on AIM sometime if you want a game, though :)

Has anyone gotten any ribbons?  I've only been able to get about a 7/8 badges and a few awards.

The lag has been so bad when I've been playing online that I can't do it for more than a couple minutes at a time.  I've been playing GTA:SA lately, too, so that takes away from BF2 time.

Lag?  I haven't seen much of any lag lately.  And apparently it's about to get better.  From other places I've read this morning, people are saying that EA is killing stat tracking by 3rd parties.  There were a lot of sites that were querying the stat server constantly, which was slowing everything down, including Gamespy.  They're going to block all of that, which should improve things overall.

I played for 4 hours last nite and I don't think I saw much lag at all.  Make sure you're getting on a Ranked server, or even an EA server.

I like games.  EA makes a lot of good games.

Hell, I'm sold.

I hate EA as well, but they do make a lot of good games (most with flaws of some sort).  But how many games do you know that don't end up getting patched or changed after release?  I think EA gets hit with the same stuff MS does... so many more people use it that it becomes more of a news-worthy item when something goes wrong with it.

And granted, they've screwed over some series (C&C comes to mind), but overall the do make a lot of good games... and this is one of them.

> Reviews: Madden 2005 vs ESPN NFL 2005

The feelings were split pretty much down the board on those two.  I don't like the monopoly thing any more than you do.

> Then there was that whole EA Spouse controversy.

Don't care.

You don't care that they treated their employees horribly? Why?

No one is forcing them to work there.  Presumably a programmer for EA could find a job somewhere else pretty easily.

FYI, the stats are working TONS better.  Awards and ribbons are actually showing up as you get them and points are applied immediately now.  I don't know what they did, but it fixed everything.
