[cod] Off Topic: Bad Company 2

[Oliver Warburton]

I can concur!

It has nothing to do with meeting the requirements. We do and more.

We run just over 1000 game servers, as does a colleague on another  
brand here in the UK. They aren't (able to) offering (offer) Bad  
Company 2 either.

 From that I could tell, there's one host for example that have been  
running a few months, run a handful of servers, and have been approved.

The requirement appears to be knowing the right person to talk to!
