There have been a lot of server problems lately on BFMC. here are a few of my tips on how to cure these problems.
if you are having trouble logging on: turn off your PS2, then turn it on and try it out. if it still doesn't work turn off your ps2 and all of your network components (eg. router, modem, ect) it should work. if it still doesn't it is probably that the servers are so slow that it isn't allowing anyone to log on.
Friends List: having to large of a friends list can cause network errors, you will know this is happening when you try to view your friends list, and it either doesn't let you, or there are blank spaces where friends should be. in this case you need to remove some of the friends that you don't play with too much.
Playing nights: most people don't play after around 11:00 PM pst, this is a perfect time to fix anything on your profile that is giving you trouble logging on, the less people playing, the less laggy the servers. most people can manage to log in after 11:pst or so.
creating servers: it is best to create servers after 11:00 pst, this is when the servers are more tolerant to advanced server activities. during the day the gamespy servers are simply too laggy from all the people. If you really do need to make a server before 11, try making it, if it doesn't let you after a few tries reset your network and try again. there really isn't a big strategy to this, its mostly trial and error.
if anyone has any more tips on dealing with servers feel free to post them here.
