The Battlefield: Bad Company team over at EA have came out with a statement which has notified gamers that they are listening to feedback and are aware of the current issues with the online portion of Bad Company.

The several issues are under-going fixes while others wont be looked at until the first several have been dealt with.

These include, but are not limited to:

¿ Clan support/private rooms/team chat
¿ Auto balancing on servers
¿ Continued support against stats exploits
¿ VOIP issue on PS3 (working with Sony on this)
¿ Squads might be split up when joining a server as a squad. This is due to team balancing in the games that are being joined, and usually resolves itself in round 2.

IGN Xbox Team writes:

"June was perhaps our most poorly reviewed month in IGN Xbox 360 history. Store shelves were packed with games -- almost all of which were bad. Few managed to stand out and only our winner for Game of the Month managed to truly earn our admiration.

Xbox 360 Game of the Month: Battlefield: Bad Company

Why We Picked It: "Battlefield: Bad Company is a great addition to the long-running series, despite the fact that it leaves the comfy confines of the PC world. The added storyline gives newfound depth to the formerly shallow single-player mode, despite the fact that the dramatization pales in comparison to what we've seen from Call of Duty 4. Where Bad Company truly shines is in its multiplayer and the technology that drives the game forward. Both raise the bar in their own right and give the competition something to strive for. In this summer relatively devoid of solid first-person shooters, Bad Company does enough to earn your hard-earned dough." ¿ Nate Ahearn"

We are aware that some X360 players are having issues connecting to the Bad Company servers.
To all Bad Companions playing on Xbox:

We are aware that some X360 players are having issues connecting to the Bad Company servers.

We've been monitoring stats non-stop and are working with several partners to locate any possible flashpoints and eradicate any hostiles we encounter.

Until we are ready to implement a permanent fix, a possible workaround is to turn off your console for approx. 20 minutes before turning it back on and connecting again.

We apologise for the inconvenience to those of you who are experiencing this connection issue.

This store in Broadview, IL is the only Gamestop I frequent because of the nice people that work there. There are EB Games and Gamestops that are actually closer to where I live, but I like this store just fine and reserve all of my stuff there, when the feeling moves me.

Anyway, I got my hands on my copy of the Gold Edition of Battlefield: Bad Company, took it home and popped it into my Xbox 360¿. And got the Dirty Disc Error¿ Is my Xbox 360 broken...again, or did I get a Battlefield Bad Copy?"

GamesIndustry.Biz writes: "Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello says that his company doesn't usually get the benefit of the "cult" when it comes to game ratings.

While speaking to investors gathered for the William Blair & Company's 28th Annual Growth Stock Conference, Riccitiello was asked to estimate the Metacritic review scores for EA's upcoming titles.

"I always hate answering questions like this. It is a little bit like you're jinxing the play, you know - 'We expect the New York Times to love this play.'

"And you sort of feel a little bit like a twit getting out ahead of it because there's a certain cadre of journalists that would love to prove me wrong."

Riccitiello said that he has looked carefully at EA Sports titles - NASCAR, NCAA, Madden and NBA Live - and found them to be better products than last year."

CVG writes: "Ranking issues ironed out, servers boosted and a patch to come tomorrow.

EA says it's "working around the clock" to fix the many errors that plagued the new Battlefield: Bad Company demo this weekend, having just sorted out the broken ranking system.

Virtual warmongers were left disappointed when the demo was hit with laggy servers and a completely broken ranking system as player rushed to get their team-based battling on.

The good news is the ranking should be up and running now. "The stats database has been reinforced and you should now see the correct stats both in-game and on the website," said developer DICE, confirming that it'll also release a patch tomorrow to further secure your hard-earned stats."

A very small amount of players might experience some freezes when logging in. Please report this on the following thread and we will take care of it as soon as possible: http://forums.ea.com/mboards/thread.jspa?threadID=372186&tstart=0

Please note that you only receive an unlock on Rank 1, 2, and 4, for a total of 3 unlocks.

We will continue working around the clock to improve your experience even further. This Tuesday we're rolling out an update during the regular maintenance to secure the integrity of your stats.

We've noticed that EU players sometimes end up on North American east coast servers and vice versa. During the maintenance the ping servers will be tuned in order to make sure you end up on the server with lowest ping.

We've increased the number of servers to cater for an amazing 50,000 players. In a couple of hours time we need to restart all servers to prepare for this and to decrease the lag and improve the experience on X360.

RESTART WILL OCCUR AT 4pm PDT / 7pm EDT / 01:00 CEST.

See you on the Battlefield!
