It takes forever to load servers when you hit the ''search'' button in BC2. Well, here's the trick for you: When you see the loading message that comes up, click the ''Cancel'' button. This will load the servers instantly, I discovered this yesterday and it always worked for me. Try it out.

isnt that simply the servers the game has found up to the point of you hitting cancel?

when I hit cancel it finds many servers for me and there are many servers with 32 players with a latency of 15, Its better than waiting like a 2 or 3 minutes really.

Yes but no one is arguing with you. Were just point out that its not really fixing or a trick. Its just like refreshing something and stopping half way and outputting what it has queried... that trick has been around since the early days of online gaming. Still doesnt fix the fact that compared to the sleek refresh rates of games like Counterstrike ... bc2 crawls.

I cancel immediately and do a custom search for the gametype I want with no empty and no full. Still cant save favorites.

It gives you enough to find a decent server, but even on low latency servers I've been having the spawn freeze problem sometimes. This guy has the same problem and so do a bunch of people http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmc9qKWvjO8

I like the server list in COD4. THe one in BC2 feels pretty limited...
