More PC BC2 Players Than on Either Console

Another post by Barrie "Bazajaytee" Tingle to the Electronic Arts UK Forums says there are more players playing Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on PC than on either console while also saying that connecting to servers with the in-game server browser should be addressed by the second of their two planned server updates (thanks LittleMe). Here's the story:

That is likely to be solved by the 2nd update when we can make use of the dedicated BFBC2 PC servers.

btw: PC currently has more people playing and are in game servers than both the consoles.

Noticed on Kotaku that this post was taken the wrong way. The PC had more players than either console not more than both consoles combined. You'll need to work to beat both consoles combined effort

On a related note, the Battlefield Blog says: "Battlefield Bad Company 2 has managed to prove so popular that yesterday the concurrent users in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 surpassed that in Battlefield 2 which has been going strong for almost 5 years."

Are you on total crack? You can barely run 4 player L4D on a broadband connection without peoples pings in the 200's. That also requires that your LAN has network at all which the last 10 I went to have not. Most do not. I seem to do just fine hosting a 4 player MP L4D/2 server on my 25/5 connection. The issue is that the matchmaking in L4D/2 still sucks, in that you can't pick a server with a ping that you find acceptable.
