I got the address of one server from looking at game setup screens in
video footage that's been published on the internet; with that and some
creative Googling, I found the website referenced above, which has a
list of 6-8 test servers and tracks how many people are playing on each.<br>
<br>
Go to <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://bfcentral.ca/serverstatus">http://bfcentral.ca/serverstatus</a>
and you'll be able to see the test servers.<br>

<pre wrap="">How are you finding the BF2 servers? In ASE? What did you do to rig it up?
Or, better yet, can you provide the ip address of the servers you are testing
against so we can implement our tools too?

<pre wrap="">I've been experimenting with the game status protocol, against some of
EA's test servers, and have been writing a Perl module to make it easy
to query.
