Xbox 360 live; trying to play Mercenaries 2 - won't connect to EA
I am playing on xbox 360 Live ; trying to play Mercenaries 2 - world in flames - the screen freezes up and says at the top right "Connecting to the EA S" I am assuming it means to say 'Servers' but it freezes and my only recourse is to turn the console off. Please help. thanks.

Problem seems to be the XBOX Hard Disk Drive (HDD). Run the game and play it once for about 30 mintues, then try again with the HDD inserted. It should now work.
The problem seems to be a conflict with the HDD or with the EA servers, as the XBOX Live account will try to connect to the now dead EA servers for this 2008 title.
If all else fails, you will need a portable memory card, not the HDD to play this game. It's okay if this is the case. Create an offline profile. The game no longer connects to the EA servers anyhow.
