Having a problem with the master server today. Anyone else? I can't get on for more than about 5 minutes. I thought it was a custom resolution or batch file I was using so I used the generic 2142.exe in the program files, still no dice. Multiple restarts doesn't seem to have fixed the problem either.

Same here, tho no custom exe. this is my 6th time EA told me they lost my connection in the last 10 min.

Never give up, never give in. Fight until you die, or until you win. Failure does not come from a lack of knowledge or skill... It comes from a lack of will.

There are LOT of people having issues with the EA Master server tonight.

I started a thread over the in "Technical Support" forum.

The EA forums are full of posts from people having the same issue.

They are probably updating the master server for the release of the 1.40 Highway Tampa patch. The server is usually down on a day or two sometime before the release of a patch.

It would be nice to see the new patch, I haven't got the chance to play it yet.

Im worried about Clark whoring, but the Scar update is going to be good. I hope.

Seriously - Clark in 1.4 is brutal but if your Squad lets a Clark guy close to it... that is sorta your own fault

The whole point of the Clark is that is a close-quarters weapon. There isn't a way you can really prevent it, especially since he's got an IDS to map you in CQ. I honestly feel the Clark is overpowered in the current version. As are the EMP grenades. It seems like EA has adopted a balancing scheme wherein things are balanced based on the way people use them -- not necessarily the hard numbers.

But I haven't played 1.40 beta yet -- what's this about the Scar? Frankly, I think it could use a bit more of a punch and a bit larger clip to put it toward the Baur end of the damage/accuracy/rate-of-fire and away from the Voss/Krylov end.

Clark overpowered? It is a CQ weapon thats all, it needs the speed buff to compete with the fire rate of the Voss which also kills at range. There is no mid range or long range version of Clark and against other weapons you don't get many follow up shots. The Clark is brutal but it only takes one assault to kill the user then revive the dead. The way to prevent the Clark user from getting to close is someone in your squad being support with their own IDS. First thing I do if squad wants a support player is equip with one, stay in front of SL, drop an IDS at choke points and check my map.

Yes the poor Scar does need some love, it does seem to have gotten the short end.

Still don't understand balance issue?

Hope connection issue is associated with the new patch.

Why would you want the non-unlock weapons, which are supposed to be the middle of the road, to be more like the unlock weapons. That's like putting a massive sign on the scar that says "Hey, anyone who doesn't like the Baur, NEVER EVER EVER USE ME." It already has one of those, and doesn't need another.

PAC/EU are supposed to be about as even as possible balance wise. As of right now, they aren't, because the Krylov is a vastly better middle-AR.

Essentially what they're doing in this patch is make the Scar less worthless compared to the other weapons. They're giving essentially the same deviation settings as the Krylov, so you'll be able to kill something besides finding someone that's under 20m and spraying on full auto.

BACK on track, how is the EA master server doing today? Running as good as usual?

The clark isnt overpowered, its a cqc weapon and its supposed to be good at that. it would be OP if you could switch to slug shot and start sniping with it.
