Fire up BF3 for the first time in along time.
To be surprised, am unable to connect to a single fucking game!!!

Were you doing quick match?

Use the server browser and join Dice servers. Anything else is either laggy, wank or doesn't work.

just read through alot of this thread for old times sake, i'm so glad i don't play it anymore.. stress free lol.

to be fair you lot did play it solid by the looks of it i didnt come online for the first 3 days and you lot were rank 50 already! do you think you might have still been on if you hadnt played it that intensively?

i still enjoy it, in some cases more than BFBC2 in others not so much. its the true marmite game of the mess hall, im just a bit gutted the BFBC2 dont play it as much now.

i just cant see me getting into anything else other than ME3 and BF3 anytime soon.

That'd be my theory...

A bit like Dungeon Defenders - caned it loads, and now CBA to check the (free) DLC.

Over-saturation is a bitch

Well I have been playing BC1 and BC2 at the same rate (BC2 even more) and I got bored after 1.5 years not 1.5 months. Now that I know what BF3 like and that the core is not gonna change, I stick to BC2 until Borderlands 2 or Dust 514. Saw Dazzy on 1943 the other day, might re-download that one too to mix and match maybe.

R.I.P. BF3 http://www.joystiq.com/2012/03/07/battl ... ore-packs/

[YorkshirePud]

total bullshit, a fucking COD map pack. more places for the frag noobs to have fun. fuck it im not buying it

it wont kill it off KZ but id rather get the other DLC packs if they are better maps

whats funny is you will get more guns but they will probably make you work for them! like in B2K

[Killzone_Kid]

LOL Pud... CoD? Are you sure?
Oh yeah. Players: 2-16

Custom servers for consoles?!

DICE General Manager Karl Magnus Troeddson and Battlefield 3 Producer Patrick Bach took the stage to revel in the 12 million strong "BF3 army," announcing a coming "rent-a-server" program that will allow console Battlefield 3 players to customize their server environments.

So it's fair to say we'll have our own server then? (not got a problem chipping in)

[Symonator]

[YorkshirePud]

I'd chip in but there wouldnt be many of us doing it now but being able to login and kick people would be funny

ADMIN MSG: YOU HAVE BEEN KICKED FOR BEING A STINGER NOOB

[DJ-Daz]

smacks of desperation, I think they know the game is dying.

There's an app that tells you the status of their servers and the number of online players... it's dropped off a huge amount of the last 2 months.
