UPDATE VER 3.0: Late into last night and this morning it appears that everything is alright. They are still in the process of adding servers but I’ve been getting through OK. You might have to try more than once though.
UPDATE VER 2.0: It looks like I just got lucky earlier. Connecting to games still take a while. EA acknowledges the issue and posted an update letting us know that extra servers will be coming online shortly. Apparently they are getting a lot more traffic then they planned on. I’ll update you guys (hopefully for the last time) on when everything is running smoothly again.
UPDATE: As of 2:00pm EST the servers are back up. There may be a few snags connecting to games but if you try a few times you should get through. I’ve played a few rounds and I’m impressed. So far so good!
Five days ago I reported that Battlefield 1943 would be releasing early and coming out today. And it did. Although I couldn’t find it listed on Xbox Live Marketplace anywhere you can go to Major Nelson’s blog to add the game to your download queue.
I purchased the game and downloaded it. But unfortunately EA is still adding extra servers so connecting to games is almost impossible. I’ve been periodically trying to join matches over the last hour with no luck. I’ll update you guys when the servers are up and running again.
Has anyone out there had better luck than I have?
