Be sure to ask your questionson the forums and on Twitter This weeks Questions and Answers How come the friends list in BC2 is limited to only 20 ppl? Are youplanning on adding more in the future? This isa limit imposed to ensure the EA backend remains stable. Upgrading the limit onfriends in the buddy list is something we may consider in the future. When are we getting information on BF3 and BC2:Vietnam? Youwill get information on these games the closer we get to a release-date. Let'sgive the dev's the time they need to work on the game. A lot of players are experiencing a "connection lost" messagein the middle of the game. Many claim it is not the RSP or ISP. Comments? We are aware of someolder routers that do not work optimally with Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Wesuggest checking your router manufacturer website for the latest firmware and updates. Are you actually listening to our requests? We receive loads of feedback every day from users which makes me very happy. Shows me that the game is very much alive and people also want to improve a product they really enjoy playing. Keep on giving us your feedback.

Just in from EA's Battlefield Blog Gamescom 2010! Now I'm back at my desk in Stockholm watching all the wonderful comments and remembering those awesome moments. I have returned to Stockholm with a new mindset on things and this Gamescom Event has really been some of the best things I have ever done. We had something really exciting for people who attended Gamescom. This was all about the Community. Events like the "Korean BBQ" and the EA Community Party was something really special. I was picked up at the Düsseldorf Airport by members from the German Community Team. I had only spoken to them on Teamspeak as we had dogtag challenges and were playing with the Community. As I met Andreas Koch I would come to realize he is one of the funniest and hard working Community Managers out there. After meeting up we drove to the nice city of Cologne. Of course if you checked my tweets you’d know there is no speed limit on some parts of the Autobahn and with The German Community Manager for the Battlefield Games "Gamma" at the wheel I would feel jetlagged for years to come. So we dropped everyone off, went to our apartment, dumped our things and moved on to visit the Convention Center in Cologne for Gamescom. Of course as usual something always goes wrong; they couldn't find my Exhibitor Ticket so they printed a Trade Visitor ticket. Here it is: http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/180x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/Tickets.jpg With the temporary ticket fixed we got ready to set everything up in the EA Community Lounge for the days to come. The Battlefield Event The Battlefield Event the next day was held between 9 and 12. I had the chance to meet some of the most hardcore gamers and fans from the German Community and I was also very impressed by their knowledge and dedication for the game. The “Questions and Answers” session was a great way for me to actually face the ideas and issues raised by the Community. Many questions about the maps, mod tools and community came up. I'm taking the whole chunk with me to Stockholm. A big thumbs-up to you guys! We gave out dogtags and merchandise. You can see some of the pictures here: http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/180x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/IMG_5F00_1405.jpg http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/180x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/zh1nt0camera.jpg Community Now, as you may have seen in a few pictures there were some really comfy beanbags in the EA Community Lounge. We grabbed a few of them and started talking about Game- and Communtiy related things. This was a really good relaxed way for everyone to get their questions answered. http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/180x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/IMG_5F00_1454.jpg http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/180x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/IMG_5F00_1452.jpg Now there were also some interesting guys from the German Modding Community called "Operation Peace Keeping" that presented me with a steelcase. This case contained loads of wishes for Battlefield 3. Of course I wanted to get in on that since thea idea was presented very creatively. http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/180x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/IMG_5F00_1450.jpg http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/180x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/IMG_5F00_1475.jpg http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/180x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/IMG_5F00_1491.jpg The Community events kept on coming. We went to a Korean BBQ Restaurant and had some really delicious food. We gave out prizes to some people who had pulled some extra weight in the German Community and they were also thanked. Here are some pictures of it. http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/180x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/dsc0002.jpg http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/180x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/dsc0042.jpg http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/180x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/dsc0048.jpg We were all very tired on Saturday but this was the perfect day to make the last push for it. Meeting with the Community in the EA Lounge once again and also speaking to a representative from a Female Gaming Community Site called Zockerweibchen . Thank you very much for that interesting conversation and lots of good ideas! Let's get something going for the Female Gaming Community as well. http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/180x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/zockerweibchen.jpg And so we had the EA Community Party at EA in Cologne. This event was a huge success. Thank you to everyone who took their time to provide us with free food and drinks and some Rock Band for us to rock out on. Battlefield related: “1April”, aka Dominik Herbst, won the Battlefield Community Award for his awesome job on www.bfbcs.com. http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/180x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/IMG_5F00_1606.jpg http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/180x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/IMG_5F00_1664.jpg http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/180x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/IMG_5F00_1667.jpg http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/180x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/battlefield_5F00_bad_5F00_company/IMG_5F00_1712.jpg I have also met so many interesting people and had so many interesting conversations about Battlefield and also Community Management. It's really hard to describe the feeling I have now, since it's just overwhelming with positive energy and I can't wait to kick off some really cool community-related stuff for the BF Community. So a big thank you to everyone who attended Gamescom and made it such a great event. Also, a big thanks to the dedicated German fanbase that made it to Gamescom and a big thank you to everyone who followed the stream of news on twitter. If you want to view pictures or read up on Gamescom from a Battlefield view there are several sites where you can check it out. I hope I get the chance to see everyone next year again or even sooner!
