90% of the games I get into have around 5-7 people in them. Is no one playing this? I love Battlefield but I feel like I wasted 15 bucks on this.
EDIT: I'm playing on a 360.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Game » consists of 26 releases. Released Mar 02, 2010
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is the second installment in this spin-off Battlefield series. It has a more serious campaign and a vastly expanded multiplayer system.
No one is playing Vietnam.
I'm also interested to know what system this is referring to. I traded in Bad Company 2 awhile ago b/c of this same reason but that was on the ps3. I was going to trade Black Ops in for Bad Company 2 again to give it another go but if it is still like that I guess I'm stuck with COD for a bit longer.
PC has plenty of vietnam servers that has almost always has a 20+ players on it . What system are you using ?
well the ps3 version is all jacked. Always tells me that no games are going for both BC2 and vietnam. Havent played in forever =(
I had the same issue when I bought it two weeks ago. I played BC2 for about 3 months and only had the occasional issue. I bought Vietnam and got in a game half over and then couldn't even find a game after that. My 360 is in the dmz on my router so games that show nat all show open. I went back the next night and couldn't find a game followed by sitting in my open lobby for 20 minutes. I haven't gone back since because I'm so pissed that I wasted 15 dollars.
Yeah I'm in the Central US. I figure it is probably some kind of weird connection issues since they've been dealing with since the launch of the game. I'm crossing my fingers that they'll have everything intact for BF3.
What? Just played it last night on PS3 and it's full of people. And I've been playing since launch with almost no connection issue. EA should do what Activision/Treyarch do on Black Ops multiplayer and show the connection bars next to the XBL gamertag/PSN ID (Green/Yellow/Red) so that we can tell to whoever has a shitty connection." well the ps3 version is all jacked.

Played it on the PC about 2 days ago - plenty of folks on it. It also depends on where you live and what time you play - you'll maximize your chances at finding a full game on weekends or during the 7 to 8pm period. Granted, there aren't as many people playing BFBC2 now as there was before Black Ops and other stuff came out - I mean, it's been more than half a year since the game was released, so only those dedicated to the game are still playing it. I play it maybe once a week if that these days.
I play on PS3 and I used to forward ports (I even think that these were Battlefield-specific.) to it, and it worked finde. I currently have a new router just using UPnP, and it also works fine. During normal servers I get full Rush servers on Vietnam (Do not play vanilla much more.)
Both with vanilla and Vietnam it's very hit or miss. I'll have a half dozen full games in a row, then several with less than 8 people. Just keep trying and figure out if there's a best time.
Stopped playing Vietnam after a week or so, on the PC, mostly because the levels were just too small for 32 players, creating a nade fest..
Went back to Vanilla and it felt good again.
I can usually get a game in when I go to it. I don't play Vietnam that much, mind. Prefer the main game.
Having said that, played a game last night where the only players in the game were on the American side... we spent about five minutes or so shooting grenades and rockets at stuff until a barrage of gunfire put us down and we realised that the NVA had finally turned up to protect their stupid temple.
I am currently playin' vanilla over vietnam, because small arms damage is 400% too high against choppers (PS3 and 360 - PC is fine). It's a confirmed bug and it will be fixed. Gonna play the shit out of it, as soon as it's done. Love it otherwise, but choppers are part of the balance and right now, you can't rely on the chopper doing its duty, which sucks playin' against competent players." 90% of the games I get into have around 5-7 people in them.

Also - Vantage Point Rush maptier 1 is an abortion and probably the worst BF map of all times. What a stinking piece of meatgrindin' shit.
This is good news. I didn't know it was a bug, I thought that they gimped the choppers on purpose. Good to know they'll make it so I can stay in the air longer than 5 seconds. Also I feel like the choppers respawn too fast after they go down. I might be alone in this, and I doubt its something they'll change, but it's hard to feel any sort of accomplishment when you shoot down a chopper when another is in the air a minute later.I am currently playin' vanilla over vietnam, because small arms damage is 400% too high against choppers (PS3 and 360 - PC is fine).

Amen brother. Seriously, what the hell were they thinking?
