Tomorrow, 12th March, and Saturday, 13th March at 8:00GMT/9:00 CET:12:00 (midnight) PST, EA will take the servers down, this time we will come up with even more hardware with more capacity to handle all the BFBC2 traffic. Once the maintenance is complete you will experience an improvement to your online experience. This will be extended maintenance to allow the new hardware to be installed and affect all three platforms (PC, PS3 and Xbox 360). Since launch a week ago, BFBC2 has already put EA servers through the following stress: * The 4 different soldier types have gathered a score of more than 34 Billion. * There's been more than 400M kills made. * 1.3M roadkills * Squads and Teams have assisted each other to 6.2 Billion points. Now we are adding more capacity to let you smash those numbers multiple times over in the weeks to come.
Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts File - The Hosts file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. This file is loaded into memory at startup, then Windows checks the Hosts file before it queries any DNS servers, which enables it to override addresses in the DNS. This prevents access to the listed sites by redirecting any connection attempts back to the local machine. Another feature of the HOSTS file is it's ability to block other applications from connecting to the Internet, as long the the entry exists.
