We also have a Mumble VOIP server:

IP: 2204.74.220.131
Port: 34784
Password: balls (you will be prompted on connect)

If you don't have Mumble installed, you will have to download, install and configure it first. You can download it at: http://mumble.sourceforge.net Get the version that says 1.2.3 (Stable).

We will have two servers on launch, a 64 slot ranked server (Conquest/Rush rotations) and a 16 slot unranked server (Squad Rush, Squad DM rotations), stay tuned.

Sandugo and Battlefield 3

muymra — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 15:13:40 +0000

We're preparing to launch a new Sandugo server for Battlefield 3. We plan on getting a 64-slot server running Conquest and Rush alternately and if things go as planned, we'll also have a 16-slot Squad Rush/Deathmatch server.

Stay tuned.

Note: I am unable to rename this group so I'm uncertain if we go on under this one or just create a new one, but it's going to be tricky getting people to join it.

Sandugo will remain online until October 25, 2010

muymra — Sun, 03 Oct 2010 10:48:44 +0000

We have determined that us, the admins, no longer have the time to administer the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 server. No one has shown interest in taking ownership and taking over of admin duties so we have decided to shut it down. The server will remain online until the end of the billing period which is October 25, 2010.

If anyone wants to take ownership and carry the admin responsibilities, leave a comment here before October 25.

The Pinoy BFBC2 community will continue to thrive on other servers.

Cheers!

Our own Bad Company 2 server!

muymra — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 16:32:00 +0000

Hey guys!

Our Steam group will be getting its own official Bad Company 2 server within the next 2 weeks. The server is based in Tokyo, ping is very good with PLDT/SmartBro/Bayantel at 80ms to 140ms (~200 latency in-game, very playable) with 32 slots.

We will be going on a 1 month test run to see if there is enough interest in building a Pinoy Bad Company 2 community. Any contributions or donations will be welcome to help keep the server running past the initial 1 month test run.

Discuss in the comments! :)

EA Maintenance

muymra — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 03:32:37 +0000

"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."

I think in +8 GMT (PH time zone) this translates to around 4:00PM?
