Battlefield 3 on Xbox 360 Plagued with Server Issues

4
Servers have been up and down all night on the Xbox 360 version of Battlefield 3.

The game launched in North America yesterday, but despite a beta test which publisher EA says was downloaded 9.5 million times on all platforms, it appears players have been struggling to get into multiplayer games.

Despite the offical Battlefield Twitter account declaring the problems resolved six hours ago, gamers continue to report problems on Twitter and forums. Some users are also struggling with the Battlelog service.

The most recent official update says maintenance is ongoing, and that servers should be back online shortly. Battlefield 3 will be released in Europe for Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3 on Friday.

Forensics Well, this isn't shocking. I had my doubts about BF3. Well atleast the the BF3 fanboys can stop the trash talking. Return BF3 while you can.

A few server problems for half an hour are a LOT better than playing with hackers, modders, and glitchers etc.
Dedicated Servers > CoD Servers

Servers that never go down (COD) > Servers that fail every 20 minutes (BF3)

COD = P2P Server (Meaning Lagswitches, host advantage, Modified Ranks)
BF3 = Dedicated (Servers going down Because of overload)


How many players will lose interest in BF3 after a month? I can say 65% or more. How about Mw3? 15$ or less. What game will be the most played BF3 or Mw3? Of course Mw3. When people talk about games, what games do they talk about, BF3 or Mw3? Well , Mw3. Do you think that Mw3 will be hacked up? I say no, As long as IW enforces bans, suspensions, fix the glitches and be as strict as Treyarch was.
How about BF3? BF3 beta was glitch and the game full game still has problems. Why do you say BF3 still has problems? Well because the stabbing is fake and the killings. My bullets couldn't even kill my enemy. The only way to fix this problem is to install the game to the HDD of the xbox360. Do you think their'll be a problem similar to Mw3? No, here's why. IW has so many experience making a good game. Dice doesn't at all. Dice doesn't know how to make shooting games. Ea needs to just stick to sports. The launch of BF3 was a shame.

I find your CoD fanboy post very amusing! Infinity Ward fixing something? HA that is a great joke! :) Also IW does not have more experience, Dice has been in the FPS business alot longer then IW. It's funny when people think DICE coppied CoD, when tbh if anything CoD copied battlefield, it was out first. The only reason the servers are down is because there are so many people freaking playing it. Sure it may be kind of messed up a little for the time being. At least they are trying to improve the experience for the stupid consoles. CoD will keep the same bs hosting system for the rest of the time people buy it (Idk why people buy it now). So you can continue to play your modified quake engine, while bf3 enjoys DICE's brand new frostbite 3.0 engine that they built themselves :) Its so hilarious after all these years CoD never has gotten its on engine XD, because they developers suck to much to make one :)

You do realize that it's frostbite 2.0 right? And IT'S THE FUC*ING ENGINE! Not actual gameplay! Sure the BF3 engine MIGHT be better than the IW 5.0 but does that mean the game itself is better? No. And the whole reason IW was having troubles with patching things in MW2 was because of a freaking lawsuit going on at the time. You would be mad if you weren't getting the money you deserved for making a game? Yes. Would you want to put more time and effort into a game your not getting paid for? No. Treyarch did an amazing job with patches and bans in BO. I mean seriously. BF games have never been successful outside of their own community. Cod attracts new players every year. BF may get 100 new players that will still play MW3. A lot of MW3 players and BF3 players will buy both games. And to hopefully end this argument; It's. A fuc*ing. Video game. Get over it.

*Correction, I'm sure its the New Frosbite 2 Engine, which isnt working as well on consoles as Number 1.

peye Are all you fanboys brainwashed by the games you play so much everytime there is a post about Call of duty or Battlefield there is always spam about each of them been worse than eachother, all i realy want to know is own peoples exsperiences about the topic eg how hard it is to get in games!


this is so true and the best part about it is that the people like you and me are mature adults who should be playing the game and the ones who argue over everything are 8 year old little kids who should not even be playing the game.

COD - Retarded Fanboys
BF3 - Retarded Fanboys

These are just game, I love CoD myself but I don't have this weird feeling of staring a flame war(everywhere I see BF3) which isn't gonna solve anything because everyone will always stick with their favourite game , so stop spamming the forum fanboys, wise up

I was just saying, Also Dice Has been around longer than Cod, Cod was made to compete with battlefield(I think Cod won that one), I truly beleive that Dice has more experience considering they built a new game engine, while Cod has been using the same engine since Quake.
