I've just fixed this problem... We bought a 2nd ps3 with mercs2 yesterday and had the same problem on the new system, even when using the other copy of mercs2 from my original ps3. This 100% worked for me; I loaded battlefield, bad company on the new system and accepted EA's online terms. Then i started a quick game multiplayer match (don't be surprised if it doesn't connect 1st time as that occasionally happens anyway). Then i quit bad company, banged in mercs2 and "jus like that" the freeze is gone and you can play online. I have also read that this works with army of two also but i can't confirm that. Have fun!!!

I had to change my password on EA, then go back in and change it on Sign-IN.
