They are fixing the server browser. All Battlefield games are affected.

From what I can tell they are getting rid of the "padded servers". Apparently there have been a lot of cheaters....this is directly from the battlefield site:



Stat Wiped Players and Delisted Servers from September





The effort against cheaters and padders goes on. We continue to investigate every reported case of cheating or padding in Battlefield games, then wiping the person's stats if appropriate. If you believe someone is cheating and padding, please visit this section of the EA Customer Support site for information on how to report them.



September saw a huge effort from the EA Customer Support team that resulted in over 700 Battlefield padders and cheaters having their stats wiped right down to zero. The servers they play on were also a focus for our anti-padding efforts. The team delisted 30 padding servers across both Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142.



In addition to this extensive manual effort we also continue to work on new methods to discourage stat padding. This will be combined with continuing other anti-cheating efforts as we believe everyone deserves the best playing experience possible in Battlefield.Need to know if anyone knows why Battlefield 2 is down?
I don't know for sure yet but server maintenance is on Tuesday and it didn't work on that day. the other person talking about stat padding is talking about the PC version not the ps2. I talked i with my clan leader and he called and EA said it should be running again soon 8000 Ip addresses still use game and there will be a 30 day notice if they where to shut it off.
