You really just need to have admin on your own server for that sort of thing to work.

No, this was on Xbox. I'll look for a screenshot.
eta: Here's a PS3 screenshot, it's exactly the same on 360. Not quite what I had in mind, but you can search for Servers based on the number of players....so if you had 12 ODD players, you could search for servers with 5+ or 10+players. It's gotta help.

Yep, but it's hard to find an empty server. And even if you do, team balance kicks in and will split you all up.

On the PC it's a shit setting though, sort by players and it does it by the maximum number of players rather then free slots.

See, I know someone who said the exact opposite
Been having loads of fun with the SOFLAM and Javelin tonight
What platform? We have a server that is ranked number 2 in the UK and the other is about 12 but our SQDM is nearly always empty and the Rush server always has space on it too.
Still got a BC2 server thats rank 20th in the world but probably only because theres 20 BC2 servers inthe world now

Taking a little break from B3 while I plough through Halo CE-A. Will probably be back on in the late part of the week.

I eventually got signed in to battlelog and it tells me it doesn't fully support macs... am I going to miss much?
Not really sure whether I need to use it or not...

That only seems relevant if you launch the game from there...
Battlelog is awful. They pretty much force you to use IE9 or Chrome.

I don't see what's so awful about it? It's only a stats tracker?

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Yep. It's a neat way to look at numbers is all.

Plus it means I don't need to turn my xbox on to see if anyone is playing or not.

Speak your mind sir...
You're on the xbox so you don't have to go through the loops of Battlelog to play a game. Gone are the days where you simply clicked on a desktop icon to play and be in on a server in matter of seconds, now you have to:
- Download a browser called Chrome or update to IE9 if you don't already own it.
- Download another program called Origin.
- Download a plugin for Chrome so you can use Battlelog.
Then once you have done all that you have (everytime you want to play) to:
- Login to Origin
- Launch Chrome
- Login to Battlelog
- Find you favourite server.
- Hope there is room because you can't queue
- Click join and wait about 90 seconds whilst the game fires up
- By which time your space has already gone so you have to close the game
- Find another server.
- Keep your fingers cross the spot is not taken
- And in all likelihood it'll probably crash on loading
- Wait 90 seconds again..
- Close game because server is full.
- Repeat until you get in.
It's a great big bloated pile of shit. It is a good stats tracker but it should not be used as a platform to launch the game from.

Based on your post, more than fair enough!
Even as a server admin I can't just jump onto a server and join because the admin tools are still in development and a bit ropey at best.
I Got sick of waiting once and nuked the entire russian team just so I could get in 
I thought you were on my server last night, dude. Some bloke called Kaneda. They drove a tank straight into the river on Seine Crossing. Fucking idiots.
