Friday 29th January: 21 hours on from the launch of the Battlefield Bad Company 2 PC beta, gaming service provider Multiplay has revealed the first set of stats following the 5:00pm launch.
"We've never seen demand like it," says Craig Fletcher, Managing Director, Multiplay. "At our peak, we were connecting 10,000 people per second - and we managed the demand better than other servers, many of whom were down for hours when demand surged. If there was ever any doubt that our infrastructure and technology in Fileplay was anything other than best in its class, the past 16 hours have proved it."
